본 연구는 현대 말레이시아를 대상으로 말레이시아의 이민정책(migration policy)과 한국인들의 말레이시아로의 은퇴이주(retire migration)의 조우(遭遇, encounter)의 문화적 특징과 의미, 즉 말레이시아 이민정책의 특징과 한국인들의 말레이시아로의 은퇴이주가 어떻게 상호 조우하고, 또한 그 과정이 어떻게 진행되며, 그 의미는 무엇인지에 관해 이를 말레이시아 이민정책의 사회문화적 맥락 내에서 검토하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌조사와 현지조사가 병행되었는데, 특히 현지조사에서는 주요 제보자들(key informants)에 대한 인터뷰(interview)와 관찰(observation) 방법을 주로 활용하였다. 구체적으로 먼저 말레이아 이민정책의 특징을 살펴보고, 이를 한국인들의 말레이시아로의 은퇴이주와 연관시켜 접근함으로써, 말레이시아의 이민정책과 한국인들의 말레이시아로의 은퇴이주와는 어떠한 상호관계가 있으며, 그 문화적 특징과 의미는 무엇인지를 고찰하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 말레이시아 은퇴이주는 MM2H(Malaysia My 2nd Home) 제도 및 은퇴이주에 대한 잘못된 이해로 인해 자녀교육을 위한 도구로 변용되어 활용되거나 혹은 은퇴이주 자체를 취미활동이나 여가생활의 일부로 간주하는 경향이 나타났다. 이런 이유로 타국으로의 이주임에도 불구하고 은퇴 및 이주에 대한 체계적인 준비 없이 임하거나 혹은 낭만적인 기대로 임함으로써, 결국 대부분 별다른 성과 없이 귀국하는 사례들이 증가하였다. 본 연구는 말레이시아의 이민정책과 한국인들의 말레이시아로의 은퇴이주를 대상으로 그 특징과 의미를 사회문화적 맥락 내에서 고찰함으로써, 한국과 말레이시아 사이의 인적 교류와 이주를 통한 한국과 말레이시아 사이의 교류와 협력의 문화적 특징과 의미를 이해하고, 나아가 한국과 말레이시아 사이의 교류와 협력을 증진시킬 수 있는 학술적, 실천적 방안을 마련하는 데에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

우리나라 전체 인구의 1/3을 차지하는 베이비붐 세대의 은퇴가 본격적으로 시작됨에 따라 새로운 변화가 예상되고 있다. 이들은 산업화·도시화 과정에서 다양한 사회·경제적 변화를 주도해 온 세대로, 또 한 번의 새로운 변화를 주도할 가능성이 있는 세대이다. 특히, 이전 세대와는 달리 이들에게 공통적으로 나타나는 특성 중 하나는 은퇴 후 귀향에 대한 욕구를 강하게 가지고 있다는 점이다. 하지만, 상당수의 베이비부머들이 경제적 여력, 고향지역의 열악한 정주여건 등과 같은 개인적·사회적 요인의 제약으로 인해 귀향을 실행하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대도시에 거주하는 베이비부머 5인(귀향희망자, 귀향예정자, 귀향자)을 대상으로 현상학적 관점에 기반한 심층인터뷰를 진행해 이들의 귀향 저해요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 참여자들은 현 거주지인 대도시와 이주희망지인 고향지역 간 상대적 격차를 느끼고 있었다. 이러한 상대적 격차는 '경제', '의료', '관계', '정주환경' 네가지의 범주로 분류되었고, 이러한 요인이 이들의 귀향 실행의 장벽이 되고 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 베이비부머의 귀향정책을 정교화하는 데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Aims of this research are as follows. The first is to find out the level of depression according to the types of retirement. The second is to divide the level of satisfaction within a family into two types, satisfaction with children and satisfaction with conjugal relations, and then to examine whether they have any modulating effect on the depression after retirement. The third is to find out ways of social welfare program that can successfully intervene in solving the depression problems retired people may have. The results of this research are as follows. First, the types of retirement are devided into three groups: voluntary retirement, reluctant retirement and retirement due to age limit. People who choose a voluntary retirement have the lowest level of depression. Second, only the level of satisfaction they get fiom their children has an influence on the level of depression. The results suggest that differentiated ways of intervention are needed according to the types of retirement. Especially, there is a greater need to focus or the reluctantly retired group. In case of reluctant retirement, programs should be provided in order to increase the level of satisfaction they get from the children.

It is estimated that the elderly will constitute 24.3% of the entire Korean population in 2030, when about 7,125,000 baby boomers reach retirement age. Therefore, this aging phenomenon might be the most urgent issue facing Korean society. The baby boom generation shows a strong tendency to dispose of existing residences or move into new housing after retirement, thereby exerting enormous impacts on social and economic sectors as well as the housing market. Against this backdrop, this study aims to identify both factors and patterns behind baby boomer retirees' post-retirement housing transfer trends. To this end, a survey is undertaken here with respect to those baby boomers living in Gangnam-gu and Seocho-gu with actual housing transfer plans in the foreseeable future, and who can act as a practical consumer group for the future housing market. This study verifies baby boomers' diverse preferences for housing type. Their preference for apartment houses still remains high in every situation, and this has significant implications for changed preferences of other housing types considering that most of the survey respondents currently reside in apartment houses. According to the survey, there are more than 80 kinds of baby boomers' housing transfer patterns, which demonstrates that more than half of the survey respondents pursue different housing mobility plans. When it comes to the factors behind their housing selection, the baby boom generation shows a strong preference for physical factors. However, environmental and psychological factors gain more momentum under unfavorable circumstances, while social factors play a decisive role in their housing selection in categories such as 'couple/deteriorating health' and 'single/healthy'.

Recently, Southeast Asian people, its food, natural sceneries and so on have been increasingly exposed to Korean people through mass media and multi-cultural events. At the same time, Koreans can frequently encounter Southeast Asians in their everyday lives. Thus, specific images and discourses of Southeast Asia has been established in our society, which creates a new social trend called 'Southeast Asia phenomena'. In short, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' means a totality of Korean people's experience of Southeast Asian and their perception on the region. On the one hand, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' is a result of inflow of Southeast Asians and their culture into Korea. On the other hand, it is also a consequence of Korean people's understanding of Southeast Asia from their trip to Southeast Asia or from their interactions with Southeast Asian people. This article aims to analyze the origin and diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in Korea in the context of Southeast Asia focusing on 4 topics, that is, migrant workers, overseas investments, retirement migration, study-abroad categorized as human movement. This article is also about a country-by-country comparative analysis both at the macro level and the micro level. At the macro level, overseas investments and trade, human exchanges, positive perception to Koreans which considered to be the structural causes become a strong mechanism playing a important bridge role between Korea and Southeast Asia. So these create the high probability of the emergence of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' At the micro level which is more direct causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena', the economic cause is the most important common cause for 4 Southeast Asian Phenomena. Additionally, Korean wave is also remarkable common cause creating 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' even it is not the origin in the context of Southeast Asia. The diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' is different by the topics and the elements contributing to create the favorable situation for the diffusion are not only overseas investments and trade, human exchanges at the macro level but also policy elements at the micro level. The relative differences of the causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in the country-by-country analysis are found. Regarding overseas investments in Vietnam and Cambodia, the economic degree of freedom in Cambodia is higher than in Vietnam. Even Korean Wave has had the longer history in Vietnam, but the favorable perspectives on Korean Wave are stronger in Cambodia. For migrant workers from Vietnam and Indonesia, the economic causes in Vietnam are more significant than in Indonesia. The impact of Korean Wave is stronger in Vietnam than in Indonesia. In case of study-abroad, the social-cultural elements and policy elements are more diverse in Malaysia than in Korea. For the Korean retirees who immigrate to the Philippines and Malaysia, the economic causes in the Philippines is more significant in Malaysia.

This study examined the retirement adaptation process for middle-aged and elderly couples. Twelve couples who had experienced retirement were recruited by theoretical sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed through the grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998). This study showed the results of 124 concepts, 41 sub-categories and 17 categories indicated through an open coding process. As a paradigm in axial coding, the causal conditions in the adjustment procedures of elderly couples whose spouses are retired were 'retirement preparation,' 'retirement acceptance,' and 'marital satisfaction.' A central phenomenon was 'crisis and conflicts of twilight couples.' The contextual conditions that correspond to this phenomenon were 'psychological separation from adult children,' 'division of household labor,' and 'economic status.' The action/interaction strategies to control the phenomenon were 'recognition of marital relationships,' 'conflicts coping,' 'resolution methods,' and 'self-reflection.' The intervening conditions that facilitate action/interaction strategies were 'attitudes of husbands,' 'mutual awareness of couple,' 'health status,' and 'support systems.' The consequences were 'readaptation of marital relationships,' and 'unresolved conflicts,' and 'trying alone.' This research classified middle-aged and elderly couples' adaptation into three types such as mutual effort, separation & resignation, and conflicts vestige. The findings provide basic information to develop a retirement adaptation program for the middle-aged and elderly.

Gingival recession is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival tissue and dentin hypersensitivity is often used to describe a painful condition in which exposed dentin is unduly sensitive to intraoral stimuli. The objects of this study were primarily to investigate the prevalence and distribution of gingival recession and hypersensitivity and secondarily to determine whether a relationship exists between gingival recession and hypersensitivity. The study population was 195 patients (102 males, 93 females) who were attended the department of periodontology, Pusan National University Hospital. 189 patients exhibited gingival recession at least more than 1 tooth, the prevalence was 96.9%. The maxillary and mandibular first premolar and mandibular incisors had the highest prevalence. The majority of patients (139 patients, 71.3%) were diagnosed as having dentin hypersensitivity. Dentin hypersensitivity was determined to 3 seconds application of cold air to the exposed root surface after isolating the test tooth and was commonest in maxillary and mandibular first premolars and mandibular incisors. Relationship between recession and hypersensitivity was analyzed using chi-square test (p=0.05), significant relation (p=0.000) was existed. Gingival recession was more severe, the prevalence of hypersensitivity was higher.
