The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Korean residents' subjective opinion of the noise on the lowrise multifamily house in America. The results of this study can be applied for the prevention of noise when planning cities, roads, and multifamily houses in Korea. The subjects of this study are three kinds of multifamily houses and their 124 Korean residents in Athens, America. The results of this study are as follows. The Korean residents felt the noise from lawn mowers and the sound of filter fan of air conditioners were higher than all the other external noise. They were disturbed a little by the external noise. The air borne sound was recognized a little by Korean residents but they only felt moderate sound of building services and household equipment from the solid borne sound of the internal noise. They suffered worse from external noise in the summer and they felt worse from 8～12 o'clock due to external noise and 20～24 o'clock due to internal noise. The Korean residents liked the sound of birds or insects, the sound of cars and trains. However many Korean people in Athens disliked the sounds of birds or insects and lawn mowers more than these sounds in Korea. The Korean residents who were living in the apartment houses felt better than those in the other multifamily houses.

Purpose: There has not been decisional consensus in the concepts and the ways of postpartum cares between Western and non-Western cultures though the importance of postpartum period has been emphasized by the multitude of health professionals. In this study, we investigated the differences in recognition concerning postpartum care among Koreans, Korean residents in America, and Americans (hereafter, K, KA, A). Methods: We used questionnaire of women who had given birth from last 6 weeks to less than 13 years. The women consisted of three groups;104 K, 44 KA, and 44 A. Results: In the perception survey concerning postpartum care, every three group thought that postpartum care was important. However, there were differences in understanding how it would affect women's health, and what they did in the period. K significantly agreed with the content and the importance of postpartum care. The investigation concerning seven categories of postpartum care showed that K group performed the 6 categories except consuming medication beneficial for the postpartum care. KA group performed in a low rate and A group performed two categories in a significantly low rate two categories; avoiding cold stimulation and keeping the body warm. Conclusion: Based on this study, it should be suggested that there were common points and differences among the recognition concerning postnatal care in three groups. Therefore, health professionals make efforts in understanding diversities on postnatal care and providing the adequate services reflecting each mother's needs and recognition.

When people encounter a new cultural housing setting, their housing attitudes are more changeable and complicated than when they enter a new housing environment in the same culture. The purpose of this study was to identify cultural impacts on housing attitudes, and to find the new design concepts based on the Koreans living experience in American apartments. Data were collected by the questionnaires of 125 Koreans who live in apartment houses in Pittsburgh. According to Korean common housing attitudes and transition by the time variable, the period of residence in the US, this research found that Korean residents' housing attitudes consist of unchanged cultural factors that have been the basic design concepts of Korean style apartments, changeable mixed factors that can be used to diversify Korean apartments, and changed desired factors that will be applied to new design concepts. Also, this research showed different housing attitudes by marital status and rent. This information may be helpful to Korean housing experts who have tried to improve apartments, and it is possible that American professionals can provide more suitable housing to fit minorities' unique living patterns in America.

This study has been performed to explore process of forming low cost small site housing communities and residential lives of the young elderly around small cities along rural counties of America and Canada, and suggest future implications for Korea. In this study, five low cost small housing zones such as cottage and mobile home parks in non-metropolitan counties of California and Ontario State such as Weed, Paradise, Sun City,, Wellington on the Lake, and Trenton were visited and the elderly residents and service experts were interviewed. The senior concentrating housing clusters were formed primarily from influx of both metropolitan and rural residents for the purpose of seeking warmful localities, traffic connections, and business purposes in theme focused production areas. On the other hand, residential lives in the zones are occasionally negatively influenced by unbalanced concentrations of elderly facilities such as nursing stations and funeral homes. For the future of Korean rural elderly policies, suggestions are made as follows: first, integrated forms of urban and rural township need to be settled as attracting places for early retiring people who seek low cost pastoral oriented but culturally activated environment. Second, a model town of mobile housing structures needs to be initiated as a measure of evaluating adaptation process of those movers. Third, a cooperation system among governmental ministries needs to be formed in order to integrate a long term master plan of establishing traditional rural town of independent housing districts. fourth, productive and active lifestyles need to be maintained for government lead retirement rural villages by limiting expansion of nursing related facilities around the independent areas. Fifth, visiting welfare service programs and volunteer groups need to be further developed for the housing area especially in winter time, when social integration and emotional comforts are extremely limited.

사회복지관은 지역사회 내에서 일정한 시설과 전문인력을 갖추고 지역사회의 인적 물적 자원을 동원하여 "지역사회복지"를 중심으로 한 종합적인 사회복지사업을 수행하는 사회복지시설을 말한다. 그러나 이러한 사회복지관은 정도의 차이는 있으나 대체로 만성적인 재원부족으로 자율적이고 특수한 프로그램의 개발과 시행에 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 재정부족과 관련되는 문제로 조직과 인력구성이 본래의 사업과 특수사업을 운영하기 어려운 구조로 되어있다는 점, 그리고 사업분야 가운데 지역사회복지가 활성화되지 못하고 있어 지역사회의 사회문제 해결이나 주민참여에 의한 조직체 형성, 타기관 협력 연계를 통한 사회제도적 변화가 유도되지 못하고 있다는 점 등의 문제점이 있다. 사회복지관 본연의 역할인 전문 상담 예방적 서비스제공 등의 활성화를 위해서 재정지원의 현실화가 최우선 과제이고 기초자치단체 단위로 각 복지시설별 양적 수요분석과 함께 주민욕구를 분석하여 소비자중심의 지역단위 복지종합계획이 수립, 실천되어야 하겠으며, 지역사회복지체계의 수립과 계획을 위하여 종합적인 "지역사회복지법"이 제정되어야 할 것이다. 또한, 분야별 전문인력 자원봉사자 확보가 가능하도록 제도적 법적 보완이 필요하고, 평가에 있어서도 운영평가와 프로그램평가로 구분하여 운영평가를 회계감사로 대신하고 프로그램평가는 질적 평가를 실시하며 평가제를 운영법인에도 실시하여 위탁운영 재계약 여부를 결정하는 자료로 활용하는 것이 바람직하다.

'Inha University' (Inha Institute of Technology) was founded on April 1954. The establishment of Inha University has several special meanings. First, I tried to examine the establishing process of Inha University in the context of emigrations and nationalist movements. Inha University was established to commemorate the 50th anniversary of emigration to Hawaii, with the seed money of $150,000 which came from the sale of 'Korean Christian Institute' in Hawaii. Korean Christian Institute had taken charge of teaching the children of Korean residents in Hawaii. Rhee Syhngman, the fist president of Republic Korea was the leader in founding Korean Christian Institute and Inha University, but behind him there were donations of both Korean residents in Hawaii and common Korean people of the 1950's. The establishment of Inha University has a nation-wide and national meaning in that the spirit of nationalist movements in Hawaii and donations of Korean people at home and abroad were linked together. Second, I tried to examine the economic and educational policies after the liberation in 1945. In the 1950's Korea planned to set up self-supporting economy with the aid of America. Accordingly, the educational policy had to be considered in view of economic independence, too. 'Inha Institute of Technology' was the result of these national economic and educational demands. Consequently Inha Institute of Technology took a special position of carrying out national policies with the intervention and protection of the Government, including the president Rhee Syungman in person, even though it was neither national not public but private college. Third, I tried to examine the local history of Incheon. How did Inha Institute of Technology come to be built in Incheon? That's because the emigrant ships departed from Incheon. For those Korean emigrants, it is quite natural that the city of Incheon has a symbolic and commemorative meaning. In addition, Incheon is a port city neighboring the capital Seoul and has 'Seoul-Incheon Industrial Complex' in it. Graduates from Inha Institute of Technology were expected to act as competent scientists and technical leaders of that complex. Really Inha Institute of Technology trained many a good technicians with short-term courses and re-educated them after. The history of university has been usually underestimated as that of mere institution. In dealing with the history of Inha University as an example, I tried to re-examine the history of university in the context of Korean history and to emphasize the importance of keeping any all records relating universities.

우리나라는 좁은 국토에 비하여 인구밀도가 높아 광복 이후 도시에는 아파트에 많은 인구가 살아 왔고, 최근 재개발 및 재건축으로 도시를 재정비함에 있어서도 아파트가 주된 건설 형식으로 진행 중이다. 그러나 도시화와 산업화로 이웃 간에 온정이 사라지고, 개인주의와 사생활 보호, 익명성 등으로 아파트 거주민들은 이미 범죄에 노출되어 있고, 이러한 현상이 사회적으로 큰 문제시 되었다. 미국과 영국에서는 1960년대 말부터 도시의 환경에 대한 연구를 시작하여 방어공간(Defensible Space)이론, 환경설계를 통한 범죄예방이론(CPTED)을 통하여 환경과 범죄간의 연구를 발전시켜 왔다. 우리나라에서도 최근 판교신도시 건설 및 부천시의 도시개발 계획 등에서 환경과 범죄의 관계를 반영하여 범죄가 발생하기 어려운 도시환경을 만들고자 민(民), 관(官), 학(學), 경찰(警察) 등 여러 분야에서 머리를 맞대고 연구하고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 기존의 연구와는 다른 시각으로 아파트의 형태별 범죄유형을 분석하였다. 아파트의 분류 방법 중 평면의 형식에 따른 분류로 계단실형 아파트와 편복도형 아파트를 기준으로 하고, 거주민들이 발생면(發生面)이나 빈도면(頻度面)에서 가장 많이 체감(體感)한다고 볼 수 있는 절도사건의 유형별로 비교 분석하였다. 창원시내에서 발생하여 경찰에 신고된 절도사건을 중심으로 주거침입절도, 오토바이 및 차량 등 절도, 노상에서 발생하는 날치기, 기타 등으로 분류를 하였고 창원시내 아파트 중 서로 인접하여 비슷한 지역에 위치하고 있는 비교대상 아파트 12개를 선정하여 계단실형 아파트와 편복도형 아파트를 분류하여 서로 비교, 분석하였다. 주거침입절도는 계단실형과 편복도형 아파트에서 비슷한 비율로 발생하였고, 오토바이 및 차량 등 절도는 편복 도형에서, 날치기는 계단실형 아파트에서 높은 비율로 나타났다. 특히, 다양한 여러 세대가 함께 거주하는 아파트에서는 다른 지역과 달리 오토바이 및 차량 등 절도가 많이 발생하고 있어 지상 및 지하 주차장에 대한 방범대책이 요구된다.
