The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers' personal experiences providing social support to multi-cultural family in a multi-cultural family center. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 social workers at the multi-cultural family center, and were analyzed using a phenomenological research method. The major findings were as follows : The social workers' personal experiences with and understanding of social support were classified as 4 categories : 'source of emotional support to the multi-cultural family', 'diverse and systematic educational support', 'excessive demands on material support', and 'daily life support and connection with community network'. The social workers recognized emotional and educational support as essential factors in providing social support to multi-cultural family. However, the social workers' perceptions of material support derived from negative personal experiences stemming from excessive demands and misunderstanding for material support. These results showed that social workers at the multi-cultural family center provided multi-cultural families with social support and that they interacted with community support system and multi-cultural families to increase their satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to review the conceptual framework of social constructionism and critical social constructionism in the research area of multi-cultural family homes, using a literature review. Fopp argued that social constructionism had an objectivation problem that only considered the actor side as a policy object; therefore he suggested a weaker social constructionist perspective with moderate relativism and the application of feminist epistemology to marginal life for maximizing objectivity. This article explores a conceptual framework for studying the reality of housing of multi-cultural families in Korea in the light of constructionist ideas and presents a review of empirical positivist data to support the framework. Based on results, using the social constructionist framework, five contexts (structural, institutional, organizational, operational, and intersubjective) were reviewed and ideas were suggested to develop an appropriate future situation for multi-cultural family homes. For a weaker social constructionist framework, three National Survey of Multi-Cultural Family Homes data sets were reviewed to determine the real condition of multi-cultural family homes. Further, from a feminist perspective, the empirical data of marginalized multi-cultural family homes were reviewed from the perspectives of gender inequality of decision making, cultural adaptation, and differentiation in housing related areas. In conclusion, two perspectives were useful for understanding multi-cultural family housing in Korea but must be compensated with substantial empirical data for a holistic approach.

우리나라가 점점 다문화사회로 진입하면서 여러 정부 부처는 다양한 다문화서비스를 시행하고 있다. 특히 공공도서관을 관장하는 문화체육관광부는 문화다양성의 증진을 다문화 서비스의 주목적으로 하고 있으나, 문헌정보학계의 다문화서비스연구는 다문화인의 적응/동화에 초점을 맞춘 서비스 방안에 집중되어 있으며, 문화다양성 및 지역주민의 다문화서비스의 인식에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공공도서관 다문화서비스에 대한 지역주민의 인식을 이해하기 위한 탐색적 접근을 시도하였다. 이를 위해 지역주민을 대상으로 한 심층면담을 통한 질적 연구를 시도하였다. 그 결과 응답자들은 다문화서비스의 사회적응과 사회문제의 예방 및 대비 등에 가치를 두고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 지역주민들에게 공공도서관은 지역사회교육기관으로 간주되고, 이를 기반으로 다문화 관련 문제에 기여할 수 있다는 공통적인 인식을 기반하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 공공도서관은 적응 및 동화뿐만 아니라 문화다양성 등에 기반한 다문화서비스에 대한 당위성을 지역주민에게 인식시키고, 이를 위해 지역 내 다문화인과 비다문화인 모두가 참여할 수 있는 서비스를 모색할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 공공도서관 다문화서비스에 대한 공공도서관 이용자의 인식을 조사하기 위해 설문조사를 통한 통계분석을 실시하였다. 정부의 다문화정책은 부처에 따라 크게 동화/적응, 사회통합, 그리고 문화다양성을 지향하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 설문조사 결과 공공도서관의 다문화서비스를 바라보는 인식은 크게 사회통합과 동화의 관점에서 이해되고 있으며, 공공도서관의 다문화서비스에 대한 홍보 및 참여와 같은 마케팅활동이 다문화서비스의 인식 및 필요성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석을 기반으로 지속적인 공공도서관의 다문화서비스 제공을 위하여 1) 다양한 다문화정책 지향점, 2) 지역의 다문화 관련기관과의 관계, 그리고 3) 지역주민의 공공도서관 다문화서비스에 대한 인식 등을 고려할 필요성을 논의하였다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of health behavior and self-esteem and the relationship between the two factors among elementary school students with multi-cultural family background. Participants: Survey participants were 87 multi-cultural family children who lived in Seoul and Kyoungi areas and were registered in the local elementary schools. Methods: Data collection was conducted by face-to-face interview survey. Elementary education majored undergraduate students who participated in the education support program for multi-cultural family children in the Ministry of Education and Science and primary researcher of this study interviewed the target students and finished the survey questionnaire based on the students' responses. Survey included general characteristics, multi-cultural family characteristics, self-esteem, and (physical, mental, and social) health behavior. Results: 1. The self-esteem scores of the multi-cultural families children were greater in girl than boys among the children whose parents were graduated from college or more, and whose father had his job. The participants' health behavior scores were different by mothers' educational level. 2. The better they speak in English the greater the self-esteem scores. There was no statistical difference in health behavior scores by the participants' multi-cultural family background. 3. Self-esteem had moderate level correlation with health behavior (r= .56, p= .00) including all sub-categories of physical, mental, and social health. Conclusions: Positive self-esteem level is more sensitive to explain multi-cultural family children's health behaviors, which means that self-esteem is an important factor determining multi-cultural children's health behaviors and their health status in future. Therefore, more research to identify the factors related to health behaviors should be supported and the health promotion programs utilizing self-esteem should be developed for the child and youth with multi-cultural family backgrounds.

The purpose of this study was to establish strategies that support multi-cultural children' development and adaptation in day care centers. The subjects were 61 young children, 49 parents from multi-cultural family and 550 Korean young children. The instruments utilized were the Sukemune-Hiew Resilience Test for parents and the Danaka Deveopment Test for children. The statistical instruments used were the t-test and the Pearson product correlation coefficients. Our results indicated that : (1) In the case five or six years old children from multi-cultural families, language development lagged behind that of Korean children. (2) Social support systems were insufficient for parents of multi-cultural families. Our cnclusions suggest that establishing strategies is necessary for not only supporting the linguistic development of children from multi-cultural families, but strategies aimed at supporting their parents in day care centers need to be developed.

This study examines multiple functions of the complex cultural center. Recently, the importance of the complex cultural center has been growing, as peoples desire for cultural activities diversified. In order to effectively accommodate the general publics interests in various cultural activities, the complex cultural center tended to be multi-functional. At the same time, I argue that it is necessary to reexamine its functions in terms of how the multi-complex cultural center fits into local environment. Only when both peoples demand and local environment are fully integrated into its design, can the multi-complex cultural center accomplish the goal of multiple functions in a true sense.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the attitude toward multi-cultural families. Method: The Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. Thirty nurses classified the 34 selected Q-statements into a normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using the Quanl PC program. Result: Four types of attitudes toward multi-cultural families were identified. The first type(value-neutral acceptance) considered multi-cultural families as individual's choice so they accepted it as one type of families and they persisted that nobody can oppose or blame for it. The second type(inevitable acceptance) considered multi-cultural families as a necessary evil that can solve the problem of old bachelors' seeking marriage. The third type (NIMBY: Not in my backyard) understood various advantage of multi-cultural families but they opposed their own family's intermarriage. The fourth type(negative prejudice) considered intermarriage as trading for the benefit of each other and they had strong antipathy against multi-cultural families. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that different approaches of educational program based on the four types of attitudes toward multi-cultural families are recommended.
