  • 순천 선암사는 산림과 계곡으로 둘러싸여 가파른 지형에 위치하고 있으며 평지보다 온 습도는 높고 바람의 세기가 약하여 생물 피해가 우려되는 곳이다. 이에 계절마다 진균상 조사를 통해 실내 외 공기질에 분포하는 진균의 농도와 다양성을 조사하였다. 외부 공기질에 분포하는 진균의 농도는 봄($276CFU/m^3$)에 가장 높았고, 가을($196CFU/m^3$), 여름($128CFU/m^3$), 겨울($24CFU/m^3$) 순으로 감소하였다. 가장 하단에 위치한 지장전은 여름철에 $337.4CFU/m^3$, 가장 상단에 위치한 원통전은 가을철에는 $333.4CFU/m^3$의 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다. 실내 외 공기질에서 부유균 농도의 차이가 컸던 계절은 여름철이었으며 $128CFU/m^3$인 외부보다 실내 공기질에 최소 0.5배에서 최대 3배 정도의 많은 진균이 부유하고 있었다. 부유 진균이 가장 많이 수집된 계절은 봄철이었지만 다양성은 여름과 가을철 공기질에서 더 높았는데 여름에는 28속 45종, 가을에는 25속 47종의 진균이 확인되었다. 특히, 가을철에는 모든 조사 지점에서 부유 진균의 분포도가 가장 높았는데 그 중에서 자낭균이 86%를 차지하였고 Cladosporium속이 우점하였다. Penicillim속은16종이 검출되어 종다양성이 가장 높았고 야외보다는 여름과 가을, 겨울철의 실내 공기질에 주로 분포하였다.

  • Purpose: This study examined the mediating and moderating effects of multicultural efficacy in the relationship between cultural empathy and cultural competence in child care teachers. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used. The participants were 277 child care teachers at private and public daycare centers in G and S districts of Seoul. The survey instruments included a cultural empathy questionnaire, a multicultural efficacy scale, and a cultural competence scale. Data were analyzed using the SPSS and AMOS programs. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and mediating and moderating effect analyses were performed. Bootstrapping was implemented to verify the mediating effect of the model developed herein. Results: Positive correlations among cultural empathy, multicultural efficacy, and cultural competence were noted. Multicultural efficacy showed a significant mediating effect on the relationships between cultural empathy and cultural competence. However, there was no moderating effect. Conclusion: In order to enhance the cultural competence of child care teachers, it is necessary to develop a strategy that can promote their cultural empathy and multicultural efficacy. Furthermore, these results will ultimately enhance the role of child care teachers, thus contributing to the normal growth and development of multicultural children.

  • This study investigates English medium instruction (EMI) in an institution of higher education in Seoul, Korea to see whether this course creates cultural correction (reproduction of inequitable relations of power in EMI settings) or cultural continuity (opportunities for transporting students into a third space and enabling them to explore cultural diversity and to create new knowledge for themselves). A single site where EMI is carried out, a class on fairy tales and child education taught by a native English speaking professor, was chosen because it was hypothesized that the professor would display some of her unconscious dominant cultural orientation. The results of the study show that there more cases of cultural correction than there were of cultural continuity. Cases of cultural correction included lack of knowledge about the local context, fixing Korean classroom discourse as if it were American classroom discourse, and reproducing orientalism in the local educational setting. Cases of cultural continuity included using comparison to consider the cultural reality of the milieu, creating new knowledge for the local milieu, and learning as a dynamic ongoing process. Implications of this research are discussed including the important realization that EMI should be managed by subject specialists who are trained in language education and have knowledge of the students' needs and discourse in the L1 and in the local context.

  • The purpose of this study is to promote the use of cultural facilities of North Korean refugee mothers with young children by finding out their past experience of cultural facility use. The subjects of this study were 183 North Korean refugee mothers with young children and a total of four research participants. A survey and in-depth interviews were used to draw reliable research results. The research results are as follows: First, as to uses of cultural facilities, North Korean refugee mothers with young children got information about cultural facilities through the Internet community such as Internet cafes and blogs. Their considerations for using cultural facilities were diversity of activity programs and subdivision of performances and arts activities. Over 50% of mothers responded that cultural facilities were needed to enhance the creativity of their children. Second, concerning difficulties of cultural facility use, the most difficulty was high costs, and the second most difficulty was absence of cultural facilities nearby their residence. Third, as to the needs of cultural facility use, a children's library was needed the most for children's development. They responded that the most necessary policy for cultural facility use was to increase cultural vouchers for low-income households and to expand recipients of these vouchers.

  • Recently, the service innovation is getting interests among innovation researchers. After reviewing the Lancasterian approach concerning the service innovation, this paper explains concretely the innovation in the cultural industry, specifically online game industry, using Lancasterian approach. Combining Lancasterian approach and the value chains in the cultural industry systematically, we draw both implications in theory and policy. Theoretically, the innovation in the cultural industry needs interdisciplinary research due to the inclusion of diverse innovation natures-technical, content, and marketing innovation. Also this paper suggests policy makers to apply research and development(R&D) concept in the manufacturing sector to the cultural industry in which content R&D means the creation of new concepts or new development of the service.

  • The objectives of the research are to explain the nature of cultural diffusion and its associated theoretical concepts, to review the nature of traditional Indonesian textiles and to focus particular attention on the origin, evolution and diffusion of motifs and patterns associated with the decoration of two important categories of Indonesian textiles: batiks and ikats. Cultural diffusion refers to the process by which cultural traits, material objects, ideas, inventions, innovations or patterns of behaviour are spread from one social or geographical context to another. Examining the decoration on traditional textiles produced across the Indonesian archipelago, certain motifs and patterns are shown to have been retained from ancient times, and others have been adopted from elsewhere. There is great cultural diversity across the archipelago and ample evidence of cultural diffusion.

  • 본 연구는 외국인 유학생과의 접촉이 한국인 대학생의 다문화 역량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 삶의 만족도와 현실갈등인식의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 한국인 대학생의 외국인 유학생과의 접촉은 접촉의 수, 접촉의 빈도, 접촉하고 있는 외국인 유학생의 출신 지역 다양성을 중심으로 살펴보았고, 한국인 대학생의 다문화 역량을 측정하기 위하여 일상의 다문화 역량 척도를 번안하여 사용하였다. 총 384명의 대학생이 접촉, 일상의 다문화 역량 척도, 삶의 만족도 척도, 현실갈등인식 등을 포함한 질문지에 응답하였다. 중다회귀분석 결과, 접촉 수는 문화적 자기효능감과 문화적 지식에, 접촉 다양성은 문화적 개방성에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 삶의 만족도는 문화적 공감을 제외한 다문화 역량의 세 개 하위 요인에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 현실갈등인식은 다문화 역량의 문화적 지식을 제외한 다문화 역량의 세 개 하위요인에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 삶의 만족도와 현실갈등인식을 각각 매개변인으로 설정하여 접촉과 다문화 역량의 관계를 분석한 결과, 삶의 만족도만이 매개효과를 지니는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 점점 그 구성원이 다양화되고 있는 대학 문화 내에서 한국인 대학생의 다문화 역량을 함양할 수 있는 방안에 대해 논의하였다.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship between the transcultural self-efficacy (TSE) and cultural competence of nursing students. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 352 nursing students were recruited from two universities in Incheon and Gyeonggi. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA with Scheffe's test, correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score of TSE was 6.20 (out of 10). The mean score of cultural competence was 4.98 (out of 7). TSE was positively correlated with cultural competence (r=.47, p<.001). The practical domain (β=.18, p=.001) and affective domain (β=.35, p<.001) of TSE had a significant effect on cultural competence. TSE accounted for 22.3% of cultural competence. Conclusion: Educational programs for improving cultural competence should include contents to improve the affective and practical domains of TSH. It is also helpful for subjects with various cultural backgrounds to learn interview skills and nursing skills through practice to reinforce cultural competence.

  • As cultural diversity has gained a great deal of attention and the social fabric of Korean society is redefined, the number of studies on multi-cultural family homes has been growing in the area of human ecology, but relevant research is rarely found on the subject of housing. While the emphasis of housing research is on multidisciplinary approaches and empirical research is highly valued, a theoretical and methodological platform for discussing the new rising agenda of multi-cultural family homes is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore approaches to and to discuss the issues in research for multi-cultural family homes in terms of housing theories and multidisciplinary approaches. To understand the housing related needs of multi-cultural families, this study highlights social constructionism, the ecological perspective, and feminist epistemology. These three multidisciplinary approaches were useful for generating an ontological analysis of multi-cultural family homes. Further, this study highlights two housing related theories, the microsociological and housing pathways approaches, for dealing with multi-cultural family homes. In conclusion, the five approaches were useful for exploring issues in housing research on multi-cultural family homes with appropriate research methods like hermeneutics, quantitative, and qualitative methods, and field research. Insights into using perspectives and holistic approaches might be useful for solving the problems of multi-cultural family homes in Korea.
