This study was performed to investigate the North Korean defectors's depression through the CES-D and a projective test simultaneously. So 40 North Korean defectors and 40 South Koreans participated in this study. The results are the following. First, the North Korean defectors demonstrated more higher CES-D scores than the South Koreans, while there were not significant differences in the Rorschach depression-related indexes, DEPI, CDI, S-CON between two groups. Second, at the analysis of the sex difference effect, women among the North Korean defectors showed the most high CDI index scores. In addition, we analyzed the mean differences between two groups for morbid content, shading response, achromatic response, human movement response, form dimension response, Lamda, and the number of total response. However, there are not significant differences between two groups for those variables, except for form dimension(FD) response. It suggested the probability that the North Korean women defectors could experience more psychological distress underlyingly than the North Korean men defectors. Third, most importantly, the correlation between CES-D and DEPI in the Rorschach test was significantly different in the two groups(the North Korean defectors and the South Koreans). In conclusion, the self-report of the North Korean defectors on depression could be exaggerated. So we should be cautious to interpret the self report results of the North Korean defectors.

본 연구에서는 2003년 6월~2003년 12월 사이에 탈북적응훈련 교육원에 입소한 854명의 북한 이탈주민들의 신체 계측치를 이용하여 북한 이탈주민들의 체질량지수(BMI)를 파악함으로써 북한 주민들의 건강상태를 간접적으로 유추하였다. 연구결과 신장은 전 연령에서 남한이 북한보다 컸으며, 남한주민의 체중이 북한보다 많았다. 또한, 20세 이상 남북한 주민의 BMI 분포를 연령별로 보면 북한 이탈 남성의 경우 55세 이상 연령집단에서과체중 현상을 보였으나, 남한의 남성은거의 모든 연령집단에서 과체중인 것으로 나타났다. 북한 이탈 여성의 경우 45-54세와 70-74세에서 과체중 및 1단계 비만을 보였지만, 남한 여성의 경우 40-44세, 50-74세는 과체중, 45-49세는 1단계비만으로 나타났다. 최근의 북한 이탈주민들일수록 신장, 체중 모두 작았다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 북한 이탈주민들은 식량부족사태가 있기 이전부터 이미 남한과 신체 계측치에서 차이를 보였으며,1980년 말부터 시작된 식량난과 1990년대 중반에 지속적으로 일어난 자연재해 등으로 인해 북한 주민들은 더 왜소화되고 만성적 영양결핍상태가 더욱 만연해지고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Participatory budgeting has been introduced and proliferated with differentiated types by Local Finance Act which had been revised in 2011. This study aims to classify the types of Participatory Budgeting by participatory institutions and participatory levels and suggest the implications. We have reviewed the participatory budgeting operation ordinances, operating plans and operating systems of 243 local governments. And the participatory budgeting can be divided into five types. First, submission of opinion type found in 100 local governments is characterized by operating without participatory institutions. Second, commission type found in 85 local governments is characterized by having only participatory budgeting committee. Third, regional meeting type found in 21 local governments is characterized by having participatory budgeting committee and regional meeting or only regional committee. Fourth, public-private partnership type found in 30 local governments is characterized by having citizen-government meeting. Fifth, delegated power type found in 7 local governments is characterized by having policy fair or mobile voting, or both. Analysis showed that institutionalization levels of participatory budgeting is not high because many local governments(76.5%) are belong to submission of opinion type or commission type in South Korea. For developing participatory budgeting, participatory institutions, such as citizen-government meetings, policy fair or mobile voting, should be adopted and proliferated in more and more local governments.
