This study aims to theoretically examine the validity of argument that market-opening will improve the audience welfare of media and cultural contents. To accomplish its purpose, first of all, this study classifies the spectrum of approaches on cultural market-opening in Korea. Then, it examines, by the concept of public goods, whether market-opening can bring on economic gains for audience as consumer. Finally, this study inspects the profit and loss for audience as citizen which will be brought on by market-opening on the grounds of democratic value. As a result of this study, the improvement of economic efficiency and competence, the expansion of consumer‘s choices, the preservation of cultural value that the positive approach on market-opening is promising cannot be justified theoretically and logically. Therefore, at least in theoretically, the conclusion that market-opening cannot improve the audience welfare is deduced. However, the objection of market-opening cannot be related to the distorted protectionism of nation culture. On the contrary, this study suggests the condition of market-opening debate must be a opportunity to reconsider and reform of cultural diversity in Korea.

This study examines the digital divide, one of the main issues in digital media environment, in relation with the digital literacy on the perspective of audience welfare. The study explores the current state of audience welfare policy with regard to the issue of digital divide which can be seen as the dark side of this flourishing digital technology society. The barriers and enablers of the digital divide are discussed with the question of how these factors are related with the digital literacy competence of audience. It has been criticized that both the research efforts and the policy implementations on the digital divide had been set within the limitation of physical access to the digital equipment and technology. Recent studies suggested that the digital divide should be viewed in dynamic interaction of a variety of factors such as psychological dispositions, inner attitudes toward digital media, competence and ability of audiences as well as socio-economic status of individuals. Despite the recent inclusive discussion, however, the role of digital literacy in the digital divide remains unexplored. It should be noted that the question of access is not just to do with equipment, but with skills and knowledge that are required to use equipment. This notion suggests an important implication for the digital divide policy establishment. This study proposes a two-stage solution for reducing the digital divide, in which the first stage focuses on physical access and technology education and the second stage on the digital literacy education.

독일에서 가족은 전후의 산업화과정 속에서 다면적인 사회변동을 경험하면서 형태적 측면과 내용적 측면에서 다양화와 탈제도화 그리고 개인화의 경향이 강해지는 현상을 보이게 되었다. 이러한 변화과정 속에서 가족은 저출산문제, 보육문제, 역할분담을 둘러싼 갈등, 빈곤과 실업, 노인부양문제 등과 같은 다양한 문제와 직접적으로 당면하게 되었다. 특히 1980년대 후반부터는 통일을 전후로 하여 약 10년간에 걸쳐 저출산문제가 심화되면서 가족문제는 중요한 사회정책이 슈로 부각되기 시작하였다. 이러한 현상은 근대적 가족주의에 기반한 가족의 복지정책의 개선에 대한 사회적 요구를 증대시켰고 그로 인해 독일 가족복지정책은 인구변화로 인해 발생되는 가족의 복지욕구를 수용해야 한다는 과제를 떠안게 되었다. 본 연구는 1950년대 이후부터 현재에 이르기까지 독일에서 시대별로 각 집권정당들은 다양한 가족쟁점들을 어떠한 관점에서 수용하여 정책의제화하고, 이에 대한 대응전략으로써 어떠한 정책방안들을 발전시켜 왔는가 하는 과정적 전개양상을 문헌연구방법을 통해 분석함을 목적으로 하였다. 연구를 통해 획득된 결과는 다음과 같다: 독일의 가족복지정책은 가족쟁점의 변화에 따라 1인 부양자모델의 확립기, 취업모 지원과 가족의 다양성에 대한 정책적 수용기, 보육정책의 확대기로 구분될 수 있으며, 그 과정에서 체계화된 정책 프로그램은 소득지원, 양육 및 교육지원 그리고 노인부양가족지원 프로그램이 핵심을 형성하게 되었다. 이러한 프로그램들의 발전은 정책이 1인 부양자모델에서 2인 부양자모델로 연속적으로 변화되는 양상을 반영하고 있다는 점에서 가족문제의 해결책을 모색 중인 우리나라에도 시사하는 바가 많다.

This study aims to provide evidence for supporting the families of people in prison, through understanding their families who have suffered for their imprisonment This research was conducted with seven family members with their spouse, son or daughter, or sibling in prison. The Giorigi's approach of analysis for the phenomenological qualitative research was used to explore the essence of the experiences of prisoners' families. This qualitative research drew five components on the basis of the experiences of prisoners' families : 'Living with the bridle named as the family of a prisoner', 'The pain having to hide from the public', 'Having ambivalence', and 'condemn the sin, but no the sinner', 'Picking oneself up'. The essential subjection of their experiences was interpreted into 'Face life, , with being under a yoke'. The findings suggest that the practical intervention of social welfare is needed to support the psychological, emotional, and social recovery of the prisoners' families.

날로 각박해져가는 사회분위기 속에서 가장 외로움을 많이 느끼는 사람들은 역시 불우한 환경에 처한 사람들, 특히 사회복지시설에 수용되어 있는 사람들일 것이다. 이들에게는 산다는 것, 생활한다는 것 자체가 커다란 짐일 수 밖에 없다. 이런 상황 속에서, 인간에게 가장 중요하다고 할 수 있는 "건강문제"는 부차적인 것으로 밀려나게 마련이다. 이처럼, 어려운 시대를 함께 살고있는 불우한 이웃을 위해 한국건강관리협회 대구지부가 사회복지시설 수용자의 건강관리를 위한 무료검진을 실시해 눈길을 모은다. 지난 7월말부터 8월초까지 실시된 무료순회검진을 통해 1천여명의 대구시내시설 아동ㆍ노인들이 검사를 받았고, 대구지부는 앞으로도 이같은 사회복지사업을 계속 펴나갈 계획이라고 밝혔다.

Despite the rapidly increased concern on the circularity of the program development activities in the social service agencies, there are only a few studies about the phenomena. This study is to describe the characteristics of program development in the process of adopting, developing, and disseminating the social programs and to figure out the factors influencing differences in the 3 activities in social service agencies. The researchers constructed an explanative model including each 12-13 independent variables with 3 consecutive dependent variables on the basis of reviewing the related literatures. A multiple regression analysis was applied to predict the features of the program development using 195 questionaries responded from social workers in community service centers. As the result of the descriptive analysis, the two noticeable features are found; (1) the agencies have very actively adopted outside programs, developed appropriate programs for the agency, and disseminated the programs into other agencies in the community. (2) there are some positive aspects of the factors in related to the process of the program development. The results of the regression analysis show that the three dependent variables of the adoption, development, and dissemination are very closely interconnected with each others, showing the evidence of the circularity in the agencies. In addition, the 5 independent variables at the value of p .01 are statistically related with the circularity of the three dependent activities. The implication of major findings were discussed in academic and practical perspectives in Korea, including future research works in the area.
