이 연구는 우리나라 공공도서관 어린이 서비스의 현재 수준을 조망해 보기 위하여 전국의 공공도서관을 대상으로 현황을 조사하여 분석하였다. 설문조사를 통해 전국 공공도서관 중 171개관을 대상으로 분석하였으며, 도서관의 소재 지역과 예산 규모에 따라 영역을 구분하여 살펴보았다. 어린이 서비스를 시설 및 공간, 자료, 인력, 이용자봉사, 운영 일반 및 강좌 5개 영역으로 나누어 다양한 측면들을 조사하고 분석하였다. 분석결과 어린이 서비스의 수준과 내용에서 도서관 소재 지역과 규모에 따라 다양한 편차가 나타나는 것을 알 수 있으며, 가장 주목할 만한 것은 전체적으로 공공도서관 서비스에서 어린이 서비스가 차지하는 비중에 비해 투여되는 자원의 규모는 상대적으로 낮은 수준에 놓여 있다는 사실이다.

Even though social intervention in child abuse has begun in Korean society, there are many problems in terms of basic principles of child welfare services. Focusing on the principle of family preservation in child welfare services, this comparative study reviewed services for abused children and their families in the USA and Sweden. Results indicated directions for effective services for abused children are comprehensive and should be provided by community resources. Comprehensive services and follow-up of reported cases should be managed by public agencies and community networks. Education curricula for professionals and inter-disciplinary collaboration should be organized. A most important task in the future is to set up firm laws and policies for effective services in Korean society.

Objectives: Medical services are closely related to individual health and welfare, and health status in childhood or adolescence is widely recognized to be related to many socioeconomic outcomes. Therefore, providing appropriate medical services in childhood and adolescence is important. We aimed to investigate the determinants of traditional Korean medical services (TKMS) usage by children aged < 19 years. The focus was on the role of their parents' experiences with TKMS in determining TKMS use by children. Methods: Using a representative sample in South Korea, we conducted a regression analysis to assess how parents' experience with TKMS affects the probability of their children using TKMS. Results: We found parents' experience with TKMS to have a significantly positive effect on the probability of TKMS use by children and parents' biological information, such as age and sex, to affect the probability of TKMS use. Specifically, parents' experiences with TKMS generally increased the probability of children using TKMS by approximately 20%. Conclusion: This study's results suggest that considering parents' opinions and providing them the opportunity to participate in programs that enhance young children's use of TKMS may be effective.

First, There were 41 guidance centers for children in Korea, and public guidance centers were 6, and private 35. Second, There were much more guidance centers in Holt Children's Services than in any other centers. Third, In terms of the occurrence of the cases, common children were about 56%, and nonintervention of abuse children were about 13.7% of the total cases. In conclusion, political and systematic support on the establishment of professional public child counseling centers with specialized experts and facilities must be provided in order to activate universal child counseling services for both protection-needed and ordinary children.

The present study aimed to examine the influences of four aspects of family friendliness (i. e., safety, accessibility, convenience, and amenity) and diversity of services designed to support children's development and parenting on parental satisfaction with services. The participants of this study comprised 259 parents (214 mothers and 45 fathers) who had at least one child aged 0 to 11 and lived in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, or Gyeongsang-do Provinces. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses. Our results indicated that the effects of family friendliness and diversity of services on parental service satisfaction differed by children's developmental level. For parents of elementary school-aged children, the safer the services and the more services they used, the more they were likely to be satisfied with the services provided. In contrast, the safety and the amenity of services had positive influences on parental satisfaction with support services for parents with toddlers while the safety had a significant effect for those who had preschoolers.

As the institutions of the Day Care services in Korea have merely focused on developing the issues for caring and education of children, however, other principles in the Day Care services have not been properly delivered. So, it is necessary for the institutions delivering Day Care services to approach inclusively above four perspectives to the broad sense of the child welfare because the institutions for Day care services are dealing with the groups of the parents, who are in difficulty to take care of their children, and the needs of the parents in terms of caring for their children. The study focuses to research the groups of children, which have various and mixed needs and the problems. On the other hand, the socio-economic attributes, the needs and the problems of the groups of the parents are looked for in the research. As the result of the research, the needs for Day Care services are differentiated from the different socio-economic backgrounds of the parents group. The data indicates that the low class families demands more needs than those of the middle class in the research of the categories. Analyzing from the result, the categories of caring, health care, nutritional supplements, extracurricular activities, emotional supports, providing information and referrals and community social services are hard to be defined as the necessary services based on the ages of the children. It is better to be defined as the necessary services demanding from the social needs of the parent group. Thus, the target groups such as the working couple and the low income families should be primarily considered as the beneficiary groups receiving the comprehensive day care services.
