The objectives of this study were to study multicultural society of rural areas in Korea. USA immigration law permits permanent settlement but Korea immigration law prohibits permanent settlement. USA adopted the territorial principle but Korea adopted the personal(nationality) principle. So a large number of people immigrated and settled in USA and mass(collective) immigrants is usual in USA. But foreign workers(temporary immigration) and international marriage women(individual immigrants) is usual in Korea. According to the positive law, foreign workers cannot settle down in Korea. So international marriage women immigrants are main cause of multicultural society in rural areas in Korea. This is the particularity of multicultural society in rural areas in Korea. So it is necessary to differentiate multicultural society policy according to areas and residents. Many peoples see multicultural society from a point of view of human rights and welfare. But it is also necessary to see multicultural society from a point of view of economic and policy.

1990년 이후 외국인 노동자의 이주를 시작으로 최근 우리 사회는 다문화사회에 직면하고 있다. 아울러 한국에서 결혼이민자도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이처럼 이주민과의 공존이 사회적 화두가 되고 있지만, 이들에 대한 사회적 서비스는 미비한 실정이다. 최근 문화체육관광부의 이주민 문화향수실태조사에 의하면, 이주민이 가장 희망하는 여가 활동은 '여행'으로 나타났다. 이러한 사회적 추세를 고려하여 이 연구는 이주민의 한국 여행에 대한 정보요구에 부응할 수 있도록 관광정보 웹 콘텐츠의 개선 방안을 모색하였다. 구체적으로 기존 관광 웹 콘텐츠의 현황을 분석하고 웹사이트 '부산 문화관광'을 주요 사례로 분석하였다. 특히, 여행관련 웹 콘텐츠 중 VOD영상에 대한 분석을 시도하고 구체적인 개선방안을 제시하였다. 또한 이 연구를 위하여 이주민들과의 인터뷰를 거침으로써 이주민의 눈높이에 맞춘 웹사이트 평가를 시도하였다. 평가결과, 콘텐츠품질에서 가장 불만족으로 나타났으며, 그 다음으로 서비스, 인터페이스 순으로 불만족한 것으로 조사되었다.

Purpose: With the first generation of marriage-based immigrant women in East Asia now reaching their middle or old age, the need to focus investigations on their health-related quality of life has arisen. This study aimed to examine the extent to which physical and mental health, and psychosocial variables can predict health-related quality of life among Japanese middle-aged immigrant women. Methods: This study has a descriptive cross-sectional design. A convenience sample of 197 Japanese middle-aged marriage-based immigrant women from two regions of South Korea were recruited between December 2017 and March 2018. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires on health-related quality of life, menopausal symptoms, depression, perceived health status, disease morbidity, social support, and acculturation. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Depression was the strongest predictor of health-related quality of life, followed by perceived health status, social support, and household income. Menopausal symptoms, presence of disease, and acculturation appeared to have no additional impact on participant's health-related quality of life. Conclusion: In times of rapid growth of global migration and the aging of immigrants in new destination countries, nursing interventions and public health policies for aging marriage-based immigrant women should be prioritized to improve their mental health by facilitating social support and disease management. In addition, social and employment policies that can help immigrant women transition to a healthy midlife are needed.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic materials and assistance for developing a nutritional education program targeting marriage immigrant women, and it was carried out on 86 female marriage immigrants living in the Gyeongbuk region. An average age of the female marriage immigrants who participated in this survey were 28.6 years, and their home countries were the Philippines (32.6%), Vietnam (29.1%), and so on. Exactly 59.3% of subjects had been married for 1~5 years, and 40.7% of the subjects had an education status of less than middle school graduation. The majority of them (65.1%) had one more children, and 51.2% of subjects were a part of a nuclear-family, with the husband's age between 40~49 years old (58.1%). Concern for nutrition label was significantly different according to number of children (P<0.01), period of marriage (P<0.001), and education level (P<0.05). It was demonstrated that a higher level of education was associated with a higher need to learn about nutritional information. Understanding nutritional facts and knowledge was significantly higher among the women with two children than no child (P<0.05), period of marriage >10 years than <1 year (P<0.01), and education level of college & university graduation than less than middle school (P<0.05). Sixty percent of the women surveyed participated in the education program of 'Korean language' as they were in their country, and the most preferred education program was 'Korean dietary life and culture' (39.5%). Regarding participation and educational method, the majority of subjects responded that they wanted to learn nutritional education in a cooking academy or school (52.9%) and public health center (34.1%).

이 연구는 2006년부터 한국의 일부 지자체에서 지원된 결혼보조금이 결혼에 미친 영향을 분석한다. 한국 남성과 외국인 여성 간의 국제결혼을 대상으로 한 결혼보조금은 국제결혼에 대한 경제적 유인을 증가시킨다. 2004-2018년 기간의 한국의 인구동향조사의 혼인 데이터를 기반으로 기초지자체(시군구) 및 연도별 결혼보조금 차이 및 이중차분법을 활용하여 분석한 결과, 결혼보조금은 비혼 한국 남성이 외국 여성과 결혼하는 확률을 통계적으로 유의하게 증가시켰다. 한국 여성과의 결혼에 대한 구축효과(crowd out effect)는 나타나지 않았으며, 결혼보조금이 전체결혼에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의하게 양으로 나타났다. 세부그룹 분석 결과 결혼보조금이 나이가 많고 학력이 고졸인 남성에게 있어 가장 뚜렷하게 국제결혼을 증가시키는 효과를 보였다.

This thesis is based on an in-depth interview on participation experience of ten immigrants who reside in S Multi-cultural Family Support Center that is located in Gyeonggi-do in Korea Immigration & Integration Program(KIIP). The purpose of this research is to present through it's basic data for improvement in the operation of KIIP in the future by grasping participation process in KIIP that the immigrants have experienced, problems involved in their operation, and related requirements. Major results of the research are as follows: First, the motive for the immigrants' participation in KIIP was to acquire Korean nationality, learn Korean, and prepare for their future in Korea. Second, as a difficulty in participation in KIIP, access to educational institutions loomed large. Third, regarding improvements in the operation of KIIP, marriage immigrants needed to continue Korean language education, whereas other immigrants revealed a demand for opening evening classes or weekend classes. In the final analysis, it seems that for KIIP to provide an opportunity for the immigrants to have a vision for their life in the future, as well as for its realization in Korean society, policy-oriented institutional support that pays attention to their life situation and demands is badly needed.

이글은 결혼이주여성들의 국내 적응을 위한 교육용 코스웨어 개발과 이의 구현을 위한 'e-사회문화지도(e-ASC)' 설계에 초점을 두고 있다. 여기에는 결혼이주여성들의 문화적응, 사회 구성원으로서 가치관과 태도의 수용 및 사회적 기여 기회의 제공 등과 같은 교육 요소들이 고려되고 있다. 전자문화지도는 3차원의 공간을 통해 이주민과 내국인 모두에게 의미 있는 학습 경험을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 문화적 동질성을 공유할 수 있는 수단으로 유용하다. 전자문화지도를 활용하여 이 글에서 제안하고 있는 'e-사회문화지도'는 다문화인구의 맥락적 경험에 근거한 특정 사건을 중심으로 모국에서 경험한 맥락적 한계를 극복하고 비교문화적 접근을 통해 이주사회에 적응을 위한 능동적인 학습기회를 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 장점이 있다. 'e-사회문화지도'는 이주민들에게 효과적인 교육용 툴로 활용될 것은 물론, 결혼이주여성들이 모국에서 맥락적으로 습득한 한국 사회의 사회 문화현상에 대한 이해를 바르게 전달하고 그들의 사회적응을 돕는 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Our previous studies have demonstrated the inadequate nutritional status of Vietnamese female marriage immigrants in Korea. Major possible reasons include food insecurity due to economic problems as well as a lack of adjustment to unfamiliar Korean foods and limited access to Vietnamese foods; however, no study has investigated food insecurity among such intermarried couples. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity in Korean-husband-Vietnamese-wife couples and to determine whether they exhibit an intrahousehold discrepancy regarding food insecurity. A cross-sectional analysis of the Cohort of Intermarried Women in Korea study was performed with 84 intermarried couples. Among the 84 Vietnamese immigrants, 48.8% and 41.7% had food insecurity due to economic problems and a lack of foods appealing to their appetite, respectively. There was a marked discrepancy in reporting food insecurity between Vietnamese wives (22.6-38.1%) and their Korean husbands (6.0-15.5%). Vietnamese wives were five and two times more food-insecure due to economic problems and no foods appealing to their appetite, respectively, than their Korean spouses. A follow-up study is needed to investigate the causes of this discrepancy and ways of reducing food insecurity among female marriage immigrants living in low-income, rural communities.

Purpose: This study was conducted to survey female Vietnamese marriage immigrants' life stress and to analyze factors influencing their life stress and coping strategies. Methods: As descriptive correlation research, this study conducted a survey with 182 conveniently sampled subjects. Data were collected in June, 2015, and analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The subjects' life stress levels were above average, and significantly varied according to their health, and economic status. Stress coping strategies used by the subjects included assistance seeking, problem avoidance, wishful thinking, problem solving, and emotional alleviation in the order of frequency. As a result of the stepwise multiple regression, economic level, economic activity, and health status were found to be the most significant factors influencing the subjects' life stress, and these variables explained 45.1% of the variation in life stress. Conclusion: Female marriage immigrants were experiencing above-average life stress, and they were coping with it mainly in terms of assistance seeking or problem avoidance. In order to mitigate their stress, therefore, it is necessary to provide extended employment opportunities and economic activities for them so that they can cultivate their abilities in health management.

The purpose of this study was to explore how married female immigrants adjust to their lives in Korea. A total of 15 women from three different countries participated in the study. The major issues that these women faced included communication breakdowns with their husband and other family members, financial problems as well as problems with raising children in a different culture. The findings showed that such problems were usually rooted in a lack of Korean cultural knowledge and skills. Additionally, the inaccurate use of the language by married female immigrants who have lived in Korea for longer than six months was often fossilized. For instance, because they usually learned the language in a local dialect, it took them longer to distinguish the dialect from standard Korean. The results found that married female immigrants who received both Korean lessons and family life education instructions overcame their culture shock and adapted to Korean culture more easily than those who did not receive such instructions.
