본 연구는 사업장과 지역사회에서 이루어진 PAR, CBPR을 중심으로 국내 외 문헌을 체계적 고찰을 하였다. 검토된 10개 논문의 연구 참여자는 보건전문가, 지역사회 네트워크, 근로자, 대학 연구자가 포함된 연구가 80%였고, 적용된 실행연구 기반 건강증진 프로그램은 안전 건강관리인식, 금연, 당뇨관리, 신체활동, 자기효능감 증진, 심혈관 질환, 근골격계 질환, 정신 건강 등 다양했다. 건강증진을 위해서는 지역사회 공동 작업을 통해 연구에 주도적으로 참여하는 것이 필수적이며, 이런 과정을 통하여 지역사회 차원의 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 또한 협력하며 건강증진프로그램을 개발하고 적용했을 때 지속가능한 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. PAR, CBPR은 개인과 조직, 지역사회, 제도적 차원의 범위를 조정하여 지속적인 변화를 추구할 것으로 사료되므로 다양한 사업장에서 근로자를 대상으로 활발히 수행되길 기대한다.

Objectives: This study aims to explain the process of photovoice, to review relevant research cases, and to discuss the issues in photovoice applications for community health promotion. Methods: Literature review is performed on photovoice manuals, systematic review literature on international photovoice research, and Korean photovoice studies. The review was based on 8 research papers and 6 practice manuals. Results: Photovoice so far has specified its orientation to participatory research. Its implementation includes photovoice training, photo taking and sharing, interviews and discussions, photo exhibit, and social action planning for policy change. SHOWeD questions and the like guide photovoice discussions while they face some challenges in application. Social action planning for policy change part of the photovoice needs attention in implementation and evaluation. Conclusions: Adherence to the participatory principles and action research orientation in photovoice requires persistent efforts. Process and impact evaluation with development of photovoice research infrastructure will enhance photovoice application.

Community-Based Participatory Research(CBPR) has gained attention as a public health approach to develop community health interventions to address health disparities in recognition of the community relevance of specific health issues associated with social determinants of health. It emphasizes community involvement in equal partnership with researchers and public health professionals to address community-identified needs. The characteristics and principles of CBPR discussed in this paper highlight participatory nature, capacity development, partnership building, and process-orientation of CBPR. A 6-step process model for community empowerment is then introduced as a CBPR operationalization strategy. Mixed methods research approaches are valuable in CBPR as well as process evaluation. For the application of CBPR in Korean contexts, the Diffusion of Innovation theory is suggested as a theoretical framework for implementation. Building public health partnerships between public and private sectors to create partnership synergy is a necessary condition for successful CBPR for health promotion in Korea. Accompanying critical factors for the CBPR application include: common understanding of CBPR and its values, establishment of the definition of 'community,' 'community-based' and 'participation' in community health, development of accommodating research infrastructure for CBPR, recognition of the importance of program evaluation (particularly process evaluation), and training CBPR specialists.

본 연구는 장기간의 활동을 통해 다양한 변화 과정을 경험해온 빈곤 한부모여성 자조집단을 대상으로, 정체기 이후 자조집단 참여자들이 변화를 주도하게 된 동기와 과정 및 전략을 살펴보고 그 변화가 참여자들과 소속집단, 기관에 주는 시사점을 분석함으로써 자조집단이 지향해야 할 실천방향을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 참여자와 실천가가 협력적으로 대안을 모색하는 참여실행 연구방법(PAR)을 적용하여, 문제도출, 지역조사 및 계획, 실행, 평가 및 검토의 4단계에 걸친 연구과정을 통해 변화의 과정과 내용을 분석하고 그에 따른 사회복지실천의 함의를 고찰하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 자조집단 참여자들의 변화 동기는 주체적으로 활동방향을 결정해야 한다는 문제인식에서 비롯되었으며, 그 결과 자신들의 역량을 고려한 활동모색을 변화의 필요성으로 도출하였다. 둘째, 변화를 모색하는 과정에서 참여자들은 변화의 범위와 내용을 주도적으로 결정했으며, 그 결과 정서적 지지를 넘어서 '목적성 있는 활동'을 지향하고자 하였다. 셋째, 변화를 위한 구체적인 전략으로 '의미있는 활동'이 제시되었으며 이는 지역자원봉사활동과 한부모 참여자 강사활동으로 계획·실행되었다. 결론적으로 자조집단이 지향해야 할 변화는, 참여자들의 주체적 인식의 변화를 기반으로 실천가 중심에서 참여자 중심의 실천으로 실천주체가 변화해야 할 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 통해 자신의 삶을 조성하는 사회적 조건에 대한 통제력을 갖도록 사회적 차원의 임파워먼트를 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가 자조집단의 한계를 극복하기 위해 공동체적 접근으로의 변화를 고려해보아야 할 필요성이 있는 것으로 제시되었다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 본 연구가 사회복지실천에 주는 함의를 제시하였다.

Thailand's tourism industry contributed to over three trillion baht in 2019. Tourist attractions across Thailand attract tourists around the world with their natural scenery, lifestyles, and cultures, especially in those called "second-tier cities". Community enterprises play a vital role to drive the tourism industry to local areas. However, most community enterprises lack professional accounting knowledge. This research aims to provide guidelines for ecotourism cost management of community enterprises in Thailand. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was employed to investigate the current circumstances of the Banlaem enterprise by using in-depth interviews to identify problems in cost management. Then, the focus and small group meetings were organized to monitor and evaluate solutions. The results reveal that the cost of VIP-Two Days trip was generating the highest net profit and margin, followed by VIP-One Day trip, but net losses were detected on the Students-One Day trip, even though income was greater than the variable costs, revenues didn't cover fixed costs. Thus, accounting knowledge could be a major concern of these enterprises. They should systematically record revenues and expenses, set appropriate labor costs, reduce production costs by using seasonal seafood and make use of vegetables in their gardens, and price products according to their production costs.

A high prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini infection is usually found in wetland geographical areas of Thailand where people have traditional behavior of eating uncooked freshwater fish dishes which results in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) development. There were several approaches for reducing opisthorchiasis-linked CCA, but the prevalence remains high. To develop community participation as a suitable model for CCA prevention is, firstly, to know what factors are related. We therefore aimed to investigate factors associated with the community participation in CCA prevention among rural residents in wetland areas of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. This was a cross-sectional analytic study. All participants were 30-69 years of age, and only one member per house was invited to participate. A total of 906 participants were interviewed and asked to complete questionnaires. Independent variables were socio-demographic parameters, knowledge, health belief and behavior to prevent CCA. The dependent variable was community participation for CCA prevention. Descriptive statistics were computed as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Associations were assessed using logistic regression analysis with a P-value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Of all the participants, more than 60% had regularly participated in activities to prevent CCA following health officials advice. Age and health behavior to prevent CCA were factors associated with community participation for CCA (p<0.001). Both factors will be taken into consideration for community participation approaches for CCA prevention through participatory action research (PAR) in future studies.
