South Korea faces elderly care crisis with both low fertility rate and rapid ageing rate. Long-term care insurance in 2008 has taken care burden from family to nation. However, few options, lack of tailored services, and unstable community care plan caused blankness of care in some areas. Especially, increasing dementia rate has become an emergent social issue. Welfare technology could be a useful alternative to fill out the gap between demand and supply. Using FGI method on two groups(high-risk dementia group and MCI group), intimacy, accessibility and preventive way of dementia with welfare technology are analysed in this paper. Despites of a few differences of dementia progress, interests towards technology are expressed. More suggestions using TV and normal telephone to improve daily independence are presented as well. Amongst MCI group, help-service for technology-use at ADS and linkage ways of in-home services are also suggested.

본 연구는 인터넷 이용수준이 전통적 미디어의 이용수준에 미치는 영향과 수용지들의 미디어 소비 패턴에 대해 살펴보았다. 미디어 대체이론, 이용과 충족이론, 미디어 레퍼토리 연구를 바탕으로 인터넷 이용이 전통적 미디어의 이용에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 개인들의 정보와 오락 미디어 레퍼토리, 인터넷 레퍼토리에 영향을 미치는 사회적, 심리/태도적 변인과 인구통계학적 특징 등도 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전국에 있는 18세 이상 성인들을 대상으로 성별, 나이별, 지역별 층화표집방법을 이용해 표본을 추출하고 500개의 유효 서베이 설문지를 수집하였다. 데이터의 분석결과, 인터넷 이용정도가 다른 매체에 미치는 영향은 각 미디어별로 세 가지 다른 양상을-상호보완적 영향, 대체 치환의 영향, 그리고 영향을 받지 않음-보였으나 대체로 인터넷은 다른 미디어의 대체 미디어라기보다는 보완적인 매체로 현재 이용되고 있음이 나타났다. 또, 전반적인 미디어 이용시간 측면에서는 인터넷을 많이 이용하는 응답자일수록 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리 크기가 더 컸던 것으로 나타나, 현재까지는 인터넷이 다른 미디어와 상호 보완하는 양상, 피들러(Fidler)의 미디어 변형이론 가운데 공존 공진화 현상을 보여주었다. 응답자들은 평균 2.01개와 2.25개의 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리를 가졌으며 텔레비전, 신문, 인터넷을 두 미디어 레퍼토리의 3대 주요 미디어로 꼽았다. 또한 인터넷 레퍼토리와 사회적, 태도적 변인들간의 상관관계는 최근의 이용 충족이론과 미디어 레퍼토리 연구에서 나타났던 결과들과 일치해 사회적, 심리 태도적 요인들이(친밀도, 접근성, 유용성, 여가시간) 미디어 레퍼토리의 크기에도 영향을 미친다는 사실이 검증되었다.

현대사회는 전통적인 경제체제에서 디지털 경제체제로의 급속한 이전과 더불어 정보기술이 국가발전의 주요 원동력으로 등장하게 되었다. 특히, e-정부의 출현은 기존의 정부서비스에 대한 시공간적 제약을 극복하는 새로운 패러다임으로 간주되고 있다. 본 연구는 e-정부 실현을 위한 대표적인 사례로 KICIT을 중심으로 정보기술의 활용사례와 더불어 EC-Bank를 중심으로 한 지방정부의 사이버 마케팅에 대한 사례연구를 통해 e-정부의 조기 실현을 위한 산업부문의 e-비즈니스화에 대한 하나의 대안으로 소개하였다. e-구미의 모형은 행정, 생활, 산업 차원에서의 네트워크화, 균형과 조화, 부문간의 연계로 시행정의 디지털화, 사이버 정보생활의 실현 및 산업의 e-비즈니스화의 실현을 중심으로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 KICIT은 중소도시에 집중되어 있는 지역정보센터의 산학관 협력의 모델케이스로 효율적으로 운영되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이제는 구미지역 기업체와 연구교육기관에서 핵심적인 지원기관으로 지역관련기관과의 보다 유기적인 협력을 계속 유지. 발전해 나가야 할 것이다. 지자체의 사이버 마케팅 사례인 EC-Bank는 정보서비스를 단순히 제공하는 수준인 전자상거래의 초기단계로 사이트 및 콘텐츠 관리의 소홀로 인하여 초기의 목적을 거의 이루지 못한 실정이다. 앞으로 산학관의 친밀한 협력과 e-프로세스의 대혁신을 통해서 새로운 업무활용, 웹기반의 거래처리 및 e-비즈니스 모형의 창출을 위해 계속적으로 노력해야할 것이다.

The aging of population stems from the decline of birth and death rates. A sudden aging society results in a variety of social issues like the poverty, role loss, alienation, health problems, etc. of the elderly. What counts in solving these issue is to make good use of the leisure time of the elderly. Leisure activities in the elderly help maintain and improve their mental and physical health, and have a great influence on improving the quality of life in the elderly. In addition, they contribute to building up a healthy social structure by forming a social intimacy. Despite these positive aspects of leisure activities, however, multiple factors prevent the leisure activities of the elderly from being actively pursued. In this respect, since there is a need to take a look at how the varied leisure activities of the elderly expose themselves in different regions, this study made an investigation so as to see what characteristics and differences each region has in the leisure activities of the elderly 65 or above. As a result, the following facts were found out: the elderly in Seoul enjoy a relatively wide range of leisure activities compared with other regions; the elderly in Gwangju spend their time mainly at home: and the elderly in the Goheung region take part in leisure activities aimed at promoting friendship. It was also revealed that there are differences among different regions in the areas of leisure activities, including the types of participation in leisure activities, the types of leisure activities at and out of home, the purpose and satisfaction of leisure activities and the frequency of domestic trips.

Due to the rapid developments of South Korea, local communities have faced various social pathologies which generated more violent crimes and criminalized younger students. Several horrendous violences, such as a Kangneung Girl assassination assault case in July 2017 and a Busan Girls assault case in September 2017, happened only between young students. This ignited a public uproar and people were more interested in related national policies and voiced for stronger penalties in ways that punish student offenders and abolish the juvenile law. In this respect, various effective policies are needed to prevent the school violence and to eliminate the students' fear of crime. These are expected to create an environment where students could enthusiastically study in a safe environment. Focusing on elementary school students, this study seeks to empirically analyse the effects of their perception of local crime control governance on their fear of crime and, subsequently, to suggest policy implications which could prevent future school violence and juvenile crimes and reduce the students' fear of crime. The results of this study are as follows: First, the analysis of the general fear of local crime control governance and the fear of crime showed that elementary school students' trust in police officers had a significant effect on the general fear. Second, the analysis of the local fear of crime control governance and the fear of crime highlighted that their trust in the police, social ties, intimacy between the police and residents had a significant effect on the specific fear. Therefore, this study is applicable in reality in that it can contribute to the prevention of school violence and reduction of fear of crime by constructing local crime control governance.
