우리나라는 저출산이라는 사회문제 해결을 위해 어린이집 설립 및 운영에 대한 재정지원을 확충하고 있지만 지역의 어린이집 수요를 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 전라남도의 도시지역과 농어촌지역을 중심으로 어린이집의 분포를 비교분석해 봄으로써 어린이집 분포의 공간적 불균형에 대한 고찰을 시도하였다. 현재 시행되고 있는 어린이집 정책의 문제점을 전라남도의 도시지역(5개 시)과 농어촌지역(17개 군) 간의 차이를 중심으로 분석한 결과, 영유아 1,000명당 어린이집 수는 도시지역은 10.9개소인 반면 농어촌지역은 6.2개소로 큰 차이를 보였다. 각 시 군별 평균 어린이집 수 또한 도시지역(147.8개소)과 농어촌지역(15.4개소)의 격차가 매우 컸다. 어린이집의 사각지대라 볼 수 있는 보육시설이 전혀 없는 동이나 면은 총 78곳으로 이 중 도시지역은 8개 면이며 이곳에 거주하는 영유아는 560명으로 도시지역에 거주하는 전체 영유아의 0.7%로 나타났다. 반면 농어촌지역에서 보육시설이 전혀 없는 면은 70개로 이곳에 거주하는 영유아는 5,269명이며 이는 전체 농어촌지역 거주 영유아의 11%에 이르는 수치이다. 상대적으로 부모들이 선호하는 국 공립 어린이집의 수도 도시지역(87개소)과 농어촌지역(28개소)간의 격차가 매우 큰 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 향후 보육정책은 이러한 도 농간의 차별을 최소화하고 정확한 보육수요조사와 수요자의 지역별 특성을 파악하여 보다 다양한 프로그램으로 확대해 나가는 것이 바람직할 것으로 보인다.

Methods: Based on the need assessment, the case-based learning program for the management of infectious children was developed. For this quasi-experimental study, 69 teachers were recruited from 14 child daycare centers in a city located in J province. Thirty four teachers were assigned to experimental group and participated in the case-based small group learning once a week for 5 weeks. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program to perform ${\chi}^2$-test and t-tests. Analysis of covariance was used to treat the covariate of the number of assigned children between experimental and control groups. Results: The experimental group showed significantly higher posttest scores in knowledge, attitude and preventive practice behaviors than those of control group (p<.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate that case-based small group learning is an effective educational strategy for daycare center teachers to learn infection management through the emphasis of self-reflection and discussion.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of daycare teachers' demographic variables and multicultural variables upon their perception of multicultural families. Daycare teachers' multicultural variables consist of their multicultural family-related education, their perception of single-races and multi-races persons, their acceptance of familial diversity, their cultural capability and the efficacy of multicultural teaching. In conclusion, the study findings show that the multicultural variables seem to have an influence upon teachers' perception of multicultural families. Since the teachers' perception of the multicultural family is important for the shaping of relations between teachers and children from multicultural families and between teachers and females of transnational marriage, the importance of teachers' perceptions of multicultural related variables must be recognized. Therefore, it seems to be necessary to help children from multicultural families improve their adaptability to daycare facilities and for females of transnational marriage to form mutual, cooperative relations with teachers.

Due to the shortage of elderly care services in urban areas, multi-functional welfare facilities are proven to be very effective for delivering various service needs of elderly in Japan. Introduction of new longterm care policy for elderly in Korea would change many aspects of elderly care service facilities. Especially elderly home care services like adult daycare centers will expand drastically after beginning of elderly longterm care insurance. The purpose of this research is to study and analyze multi-functional welfare facilities in Japan focusing on the types of day service in those facilities. Planning of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities for the elderly can be classified to 8 types. Those types are daycare centers with senior housing, longterm care insurance facilities, senior centers, small multi-function facility, medical facilities, educational facilities, community facilities and general housing projects. Each type has different benefits for the networking of services for the elderly. Design of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities have distinctive features in entrance and user approach, space allocation and circulation planning. The study of daycare centers and multi-function planning should be followed to make better home care environments for the elderly in Korea.
