  • 이 논문은 봉평메밀도리깨질소리 밭농사요유산의 가치전승을 위하여 전통 콘텐츠 개발을 천착한 것이다. 농사요(農事謠)유산의 정체성을 진단하고 역사맥락화 가치와 전승공동체적 가치를 문화재적 가치로 부각시키고 전통문화산업론의 차원에서 논의까지 확장하였다. 봉평메밀도리깨질소리의 내재적 예술성과 교육체험적 가치수월성, 농사요의 소멸 극복 요소, 메밀 스토리텔링 추진방향 등을 제시하였다. 봉평메밀도리깨질소리의 형식화, 박제화를 벗어나 현대적 맥락에서 농업유산 상징-화전과 부데기 유전자-의 생활화, 확산화에 역점을 둔 것이다. 인식 방법론이나 역사성, 창의성의 측면에서 봉평메밀도리깨질소리, 메밀노래의 문제의식을 통해 생태적 생업민요의 대안론을 제시하였다. 무형문화재 지정의 현장맥락화를 재론하면서 전승 활력에 조언하였으며, 향후 메밀농업유산의 상징적 등재론까지 거론하였다. 평창, 강원을 대표할 수 있는 농업문화유산을 발굴하여 브랜드화가 필요하다. 마당 '마뎅이소리 전통음악'에서 고유한 것이 무엇인지 찾아내어 세계인들이 공감하고 활용할 수 있는 포인트-지역 브랜드화-를 적용하는 것이 중요하다. 농사요로서 봉평메밀도리깨질소리의 재발견을 통해 다목적 문화콘텐츠로 지속적인 위상을 만들고 전통민요 활성화를 위한 전문가들의 네트워크를 마련하여 양적인 성장보다 질적인 내실과 확산의 기회를 마련하고 농사요 발전의 중심에 각 지역별 축제-특히 평창지역축제-의 활용 스토리텔링을 적극 개발해야 한다.

  • 2000년대 이전부터 북미 유럽의 선진국을 중심으로 특정 기업이나 사업(프로젝트)에 관한 가치를 평가하는 사례는 있어 왔으나, 개별 기술(특허)의 경제적 가치를 산정하는 체계나 방법론은 국내를 중심으로 최근 들어 활성화되어 왔다. 이러한 기술가치평가 분야는 기술이전(거래), 현물출자, 사업타당성 분석, 투자유치, 세무/소송 등의 다양한 용도로 활용되고 있다. 물론 기술보증기금의 KTRS, 발명진흥회의 SMART 3.1과 같이, 평가대상기술에 대한 기술력(등급) 평가 혹은 특허등급평가를 정성적으로 수행하는 온라인 시스템은 존재해 왔으나, 대상기술의 정량적인 가치금액까지 산출해 주는 웹기반 지능형 기술가치평가 시스템은 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)에 의해 유일하게 개발 및 공식 오픈되어 확산 활용되고 있다. 본 고에서는 KISTI에서 개발 운영중인 웹기반 'STAR-Value' 시스템을 중심으로, 탑재된 방법론 및 평가모델의 유형, 이를 지원하는 참조정보 및 데이터베이스(D/B)가 어떻게 연계 활용되는지를 소개한다. 특히 미래에 발생할 경제적 수익을 추정하여 현재가치화하는 소득접근법 기반의 대표 모델인 현금흐름할인(DCF) 모델과 특정 로열티율을 기반으로 로열티수입료의 현재가치를 기술료 대가로 산정하는 로열티절감모델을 포함한 6개 모델, 그리고 관련 지원정보(기술수명, 기업(업종)재무정보, 할인율, 산업기술요소 등)의 데이터 기반 연계 방식에 대해 살펴본다. STAR-Value 시스템은 평가대상기술에 대한 국제특허분류(IPC) 혹은 한국표준산업분류(KSIC) 등의 분류 정보로부터 기술순환주기(TCT) 지수, 유사업종(혹은 유사기업)의 매출액 성장률 및 수익성 데이터, 업종별 가중평균자본비용(WACC) 및 산업기술요소 지수 등 메타데이터값을 자동적으로 불러오고 여기에 조정요인을 반영하여 기술가치의 산출결과가 높은 신뢰성 및 객관성을 가지도록 한다. 나아가 대상기술의 잠재적 시장규모와 해당 사업화주체의 시장점유율에 대한 정보까지 보유 재무데이터 기반으로 참조값을 제시하거나 기존에 완료된 평가사례 축적 기반으로 업종별 유사 기술의 가치범위값을 제시해 준다면, 본 시스템이 보다 지능형으로 지원 모듈을 연계 활용하고 실시간으로 손쉽게 고(高)정확도의 기술가치범위를 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 고에서는 웹기반 STAR-Value 시스템이 참조데이터 기반으로 지능형 연계를 수행하도록 해주는 모형선택 가이드라인 지원기능, 기술가치범위 추론 지원기능, 유사기업 선정 기반의 시장점유율 산정 지원기능의 내부 로직 구성을 설명한다. 상기 지원기능을 통해 비전문가(또는 초보자) 수준에서 최적의 평가모형 선택, 기술가치 범위 추론, 유사기업 선택 및 시장점유율 산정에 대한 정보지원이 데이터 사이언스 및 기계학습 기반으로 수행될 수 있다. 본 연구는 기술가치평가 분야의 이론적 타당성을 평가실무에서 활용할 수 있는 평가모델 및 지원정보를 실제 탑재한 웹기반 시스템의 소개에 의미가 있으며, 추가적으로 보다 객관적이고 손쉬운 지능형 지원시스템의 활용성을 높임으로써, 앞으로 기술사업화의 제 분야에서 다양하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The Community Health Service considers the family as a service unit and places the emphasis of its service on the health problems and the nursing needs of the family rather than the individual. From the conceptual point of view that tile community health service is both health maintenance and health promotion of the family, the community health nurse should have a knowledge of the growth and development of the family and be responsible for the comprehensive support of normal family development. The community health nurse often is in a position to make a real contribution to normal family development. In order to investigate the relationship between the areas of nursing need and family development, the following objectives were established 1. To discover the general characteristics of the study population by the stage of family development. 2. To discover specific nursing needs in relation to the family developmental stage, and to determine the intensity of the nursing needs and the ability of the family to cope with these needs. 3. To discover overall family health nursing problems in relation to the family developmental stage and determine the intensity of the nursing need and the problem solving ability of family. Definitions : The family developmental stages as classified by Dually were used stage 1. Married couples(without children) stage 2. Childbearing Families (oldest child birth to 30 months of age) stage 3. Families with preschool children (oldest child 2½-to 6 years) stage 4. Families with schoolchildren (oldest child 6 to 13 years). stage 5. Families with teenagers (oldest child 13 to 20 years) stage 6. Families as launching centers (first child gone to last child′s leaving home). stage 7. Middle- aged parents (empty nest to retirement) stage 8. Aging family member (retirement to death of both spouses) The areas of nursing need were defined as those used in the study, "A Comprehensive Study about Health and Nursing Need and a Social Diagram of the Community", by tile Nursing research Institute and Center for population. and Family Planning, July 1974. The study population defiled and selected were 260 nuclear families ill two myron of Kang Hwa Island. Percent, mean value and F- test were utilized in tile statistical analysis of the study result. Findings : 1. General characteristics of the study population by tile family developmental stage ; 1)The study population was distributed by the family developmental stage as follows : stage 1 : 3 families stage 2 : 13 families stage 3 : 24 families stage 4 : 41 families stage 5 : 50 families stage 6 : 106 families stage 7 : 13 families stage 8 : 10 families 2) Most families had 4 or 5 members except for those in stage, 1, 7, and 8. 3) The parents′ present age was older in the higher developmental stage and their age at marriage was also younger in the higher developmental stages. 4) The educational level of parents was primarily less than elementary school irrespective of the developmental stage. 5) More than half of parents′ occupations were listed as laborers irrespective of the developmental stage, 6) More than half of the parents were atheists irrespective of the developmental stage. 7) The higher the developmental stage(from stage 2 to stage 6 ), the wider the distribution of children′s ages. 8) More than half of the families were of middle or lower socio-economic level. 2. Problems in specific areas of nursing need by family developmental stage, the intensity of nursing need and the problem solving ability of the family : 1) As a whole, many problems, irrespective of the developmental stage, occurred in tile areas of Housing and Sanitation, Eating Patterns, Housekeeping, Preventive Measures and Dental care. Problems occurring ill particular stages included the following ; stage 1 : Prevention of Accident stage 2 : Preventive Vaccination, Family Planning. stage 3 : Preventive Vaccination, Maternal Health, Family Planning, Health of Infant and Preschooler. stage 4, 5 : Preventive Vaccination, Family Planning, Health of School Children. stage 6 : Preventive Vaccination, Health of School Children. 2) The intensity of the nursing need in the area of Acute and Chronic Diseases was generally of moderate degree or above irrespective of the developmental stages except for stage 1. Other areas of need listed as moderate or above were found in the following stages: stage 1 : Maternal Health stage 3 . Horsing and Sanitation, Prevention of Accident. stage 4 . Housing and Sanitation. stage 5 : Housing and Sanitation, Diagnostic and Medical Care. stage 6 : Diagnostic and Medical care stage 7 : Diagnostic and Medical Care, Housekeeping. stage 8 : Housing and Sanitation, Prevention of Accident, Diagnostic and Medical Care, Dental Care, Eating Patterns, Housekeeping. 3) Areas of need with moderate problem solving ability or less were as follows : stage 1 : Diagnostic and Medical Care, Maternal Health. stage 2 : Prevention of Accident, Acute and Chronic Disease, Dental Care. stage 3 : Housing and Sanitation, Acute and Chronic Disease, Diagnostic and Medical Care, Preventive Measure, Dental Care, Maternal Health, Health of Infant and preschooler, Eating Patterns. stage 4 : Housing and Sanitation, Prevention of Accident, Diagnostic and Medical Care, Preventive Measure, Dental Care, Maternal Health, Health of New Born, Health of Infant and Preschooler, Health of school Children, Eating Patterns, Housekeeping. stage 5 . Housing and Sanitation, Prevention of Accident, Acute and Chronic Disease, Diagnostic and Medical Care, Preventive Measure, Dental Care, Preventive Vaccination, Maternal Health, Eating Patterns. stage 7, 8 : Housing and Sanitation, Prevention of Accident, Acute and Chronic Disease, Diagnostic and Medical Care, Preventive Measures, Dental Care, Preventive Vaccination, Eating Patterns , Housekeeping. Problem occurrence, the degree of nursing need and the degree of problem solving ability 1 nursing need areas for the family as a whole were as follows : 1) The higher the stages(except stage 1 ), the lower the rate of problem occurrence. 2) The higher the stage becomes, the lower the intensity of the nursing need becomes. 3) The higher the stages (except stages 7 and 8), the higher. the problem solving ability. Conclusions ; 1) When the nursing care plan for the family is drawn up, depending upon the stage of family development, higher priority should be give to nursing need areas ① at which problems were shown to occur ② where the nursing need is shown to be above moderate degree and ③ where the problem solving ability was shown to be of moderate degree. 2) The priority of the nursing service should be Placed ① not on those families in the high developmental stage but on those families in the low developmental stage ② and on those areas of need shown in stages 7 and 8 where the degree nursing need was high and the ability to cope low.

  • 경제(經濟)의 개방화(開放化) 및 산업구조(塵業構造)의 고도화(高度化)가 진전되면서 국내기업들은 주력사업의 성장이 감퇴하는 구조변화(構造變化)에 직면하게 된다. 극단적인 경우에 도산(倒産)이나 폐업(廢業)을 단행하는 국내 기업들도 있을 것이다. 그러나 보다 우월한 적응능력을 가진 대부분의 대기업이나 중견기업들은 고임금(高賃金)과 현재의 기술여건(技術與件)에서 경쟁우위를 확보할 수 있는 영역(market niches)을 찾아 합리화 및 고부가가치화, 제품 및 시장다각화 등 신축적인 사업조정(事業調整)을 통해 수익성이 낮은 기존사업의 비중을 점차적으로 줄이면서 고수익성(高收益性) 사업(事業)으로 전환(轉換) 할 것이다. 사업구조 조정과정에서 기업(企業)은 단기적으로는 기존의 주력사업 내에서 경영합리화 및 감량경영을 통해 비용(費用)을 절감(節減)하고 제품의 고부가가치화(高附加價値化)를 추구하는 동시에 장기적으로는 사업구조 재편성을 목표로 기존의 우위요소를 최대한 활용하면서 새로운 우위요소(優位要素) 창출(創出)을 위해 기업의 전략구상, 조직 및 기업문화면에서의 구조전환을 시도하게 된다. 그러나 기업의 발상(發想), 조직구조(組織構造), 조직문화(組織文化)는 환경변화만큼 신속히 일어나지 않는다. 동일한 환경, 동일한 산업 내에서도 성공하는 기업이 있고 실패하는 기업이 있는 것처럼 환경변화에 대한 정확한 인식(認識)과 성공적인 전략(戰略)의 수립 및 실행은 기업들의 체계적인 노력여하에 따라 다르게 나타난다. (企業)의 구조전환(構造轉換)은 국가경제의 발전방향, 업종의 실태와 전망에 관한 정보에 기반하여 장기계획하(長期計劃下)에 기업의 축적된 경영자원을 활용하는 방향으로 이루어져야 한다. 기업이란 주주(株主), 경영자(經營者), 근로자(勤勞者) 등 이익집단간의 이해관계(利害關係)가 균형을 이루면서 발전해 나가는 조직이라는 새로운 인식(認識)에 기반하여 기업은 합리적 노사관계의 정착에 노력하고 정부(政府)는 경쟁(競爭)을 통한 기업체질 강화라는 기본방침하(基本方針下)에 재래산업(在來産業)의 전환비용(轉換費用)을 줄이고 신규사업(新規事業)의 창출(創出)을 뒷받침하는 제도개선(制度改善)을 해 나가야 한다.

  • 최근 기업 경영에 있어 정보기술의 도입 및 전략적인 활용은 선택이 아닌 필수로 자리잡고 있다. 기업의 전략적인 목표와 정보기술 간의 상호 의존은 기업의 생존 및 성장에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 이에 따라 이미 많은 기업이 지속적으로 정보기술에 투자하고 있다. 정보기술 투자 성과 관련해서는 기업 내부의 요인들과 전략들, 기업외부의 고객까지 여러 가지 복합적인 요소들이 서로 상호작용하고 있기 때문에, 각 요인들을 독립적으로 분리하여 정보기술 투자 성과에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 연구들을 바탕으로 정보기술 투자성과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수들을 도출하여, 각 변수들의 관계를 수리적인 모델링을 통해 단순화시키고, 시뮬레이션 방법론을 이용하여 각 변수들의 변화에 정보기술 투자 성과는 어떻게 달라지는지를 밝혔다. 본 연구의 결과는 정보기술 투자는 서비스의 품질을 증가시켜 경제학적인 성과들에 간접적으로 영향을 주고, 정보기술 투자와 동시에 소비자 잉여는 증가되지만, 큰 투자비용으로 회사의 이익은 감소하게 된다. 그리고 시간이 지남에 따라 품질 증가에 관한 정보가 고객들 사이에 퍼져 나가게 되므로 최종적으로 기업의 수익을 증가시켜준다. 또한, 정보기술 투자 성과 극대화를 위해서는 회사가 제공하는 서비스와 소비자들의 네트워크 효과 등이 고려되어 정보기술 투자 여부를 결정하고, 회사에 맞는 정보기술 투자 전략을 세워야 함을 시뮬레이션 모형을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 구체적으로, 한 번에 많은 투자를 할 경우는 단기적인 성과는 클 것으로 기대되나, 장기적으로 좋은 성과가 이뤄지지 않는다. 그러나 정보의 확산 속도가 빠르거나 정보의 장벽이 될 수 있는 정보를 받지 못하는 소비자가 적을 경우 단기에 집중 투자 하는 것이 많은 수요를 얻을 수 있다. 또, 여러 번에 걸쳐 투자하는 경우는 적당한 주기를 가지게 될 경우 장기적으로 큰 성과를 낼 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 경제학 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 결합시켜, 각각의 한계를 모두 극복할 수 있는 방법론을 활용했다는 측면과, 정보기술 투자의 성과를 제품 품질의 매개 효과 모형에 적용하여 정보기술 투자와 기업 성과간의 관계를 보여주었다는 측면, 마지막으로 정보기술 투자 전략 및 정보의 확산 효과를 반영하여 정보기술 투자의 성과를 확인할 수 있다는 측면에서 의의가 있다.

  • 투자상품의 확산, 고령화 등으로 인한 금융니즈 다양화와 자본시장법 시행으로 인한 금융회사간 치열한 경쟁으로 인해 금융산업 내에서 마케팅의 역할이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 그러나, 지금까지 다른 산업에 비해 금융산업의 마케팅 연구는 상대적으로 부족하였다. 본 연구는 향후 구체적인 금융마케팅 연구들이 진행되기에 앞서 국내 금융마케팅 연구들을 정리하고, 국내 금융회사 마케팅 담당자를 In-depth 인터뷰하여 실제 국내 금융 마케팅 현황을 조사하였다. 이를 통해 향후 금융마케팅 연구에 필요한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 다른 산업의 마케팅과 다른 금융 마케팅만의 고유 특징에 대한 이론적인 연구가 부족하였고, 금융산업 내에서 은행, 증권, 보험, 카드 산업 간의 마케팅 특징 차이에 대한 연구도 부족하였음을 알 수 있었다. 소비자행동 관점에서 금융고객의 의사결정 과정에 관한 연구도 부족하였다. 또한, 우리나라의 금융회사의 마케팅 현황은 외형적으로 어느 정도 성숙 단계에 접어들었다고 볼 수 있으나, 실제 업무는 여전히 과거의 영업지원, 혹은 프로모션 및 CRM 데이터 분석 등 단기적인 부분에 치중되어 있었다. 그리고, 은행, 증권, 보험, 카드 회사 등 각 세부 금융산업별 마케팅 담당자들이 중요하게 생각하는 금융마케팅의 키워드와 문제 인식 정도도 서로 다름을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 금융마케팅 연구를 위한 시사점과 함께 6가지의 연구명제를 제안하였다.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.
