`살기 좋은 지역만들기' 정책은 노무현 참언정부가 추구하는 삶의 질 정책의 주요 수단으로 알러졌다. 이는 지역정책의 방향이 물리적 요소 투입형의 하드웨어적 성장정책에서 거버넌스 등 휴멘웨어를 중시하는 정책전환의 징후로 이해된다. 이 정책이 효과를 얻기 위해서는 시민사회의 참여와 같은 '역동적 사회관계의 제도화'가 중요하다. 한국 남부의 중소도시인 진주시의 사례를 보면, 혁신도시 유치와 같은 대외적 경쟁을 통한 성장전략은 지방정부와 성장연합의 주로도 진행되었다. 노동조합과 시민단체의 연대에 의한 버스교통회사의 공영화가 이루어졌다. 그러나 역사적 장소의 복원은 개발이익 추구와 상충되어 실패하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서, 시민사회단체의 참여를 제도화하는 휴먼웨어적 차원을 지역정책에 도입하는 것이 '살기 좋은 지역 만들기'의 핵심이라고 주장한다.

Background: Smokefree laws aim to protect employees and the public from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Waterpipe premises have significantly increased in number in the last decade, with anecdotal reports of poor compliance with the smokefree law. The literature is bereft of information pertaining to waterpipe premise employees. This study aimed to opportunistically gather knowledge about the occupational health hazards associated with working in waterpipe premises in London, England. Materials and Methods: Employees from seven convenience-sampled, smokefree-compliant waterpipe premises in London were observed for occupational activities. Opportunistic carbon monoxide (CO) measurements were made among those with whom a rapport had developed. Observations were thematically coded and analysed. Results: Occupational hazards mainly included environmental smoke exposure. Waterpipe-serving employees were required to draw several puffs soon after igniting the coals, thereby providing quality assurance of the product. Median CO levels were 27.5ppm (range 21-55ppm) among these employees. Self-reported employee health was poor, with some suggestion that working patterns and smoke exposure was a contributory factor. Conclusions: The smokefree law in England does not appear to protect waterpipe premise employees from high levels of CO. Continued concerns surrounding chronic smoke exposure may contribute to poor self-reported physical and mental wellbeing.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate a clinical effect of Coo-Sun activity focusing on improvement of quality of life in female cancer patients. Methods: The subject of study consisted of 5 female cancer patients at the East-West Cancer Center of OO Oriental hospital. The survey methods of this study are Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Patients performed Coo-Sun activity 6 times a week and filled out FACT-G and STAI questionnaire after every 3 times training. Results: In FACT-G questionnaire, physical well-being and emotional wellbeing was improved significantly after Coo-Sun activity. And change of social/family well-being and functional well-being score were not significant statistically. In STAI questionnaire, STAI1 was improved significantly after Coo-Sun activity. And change of STAI2 score was not significant statistically. Conclusion: After Coo-Sun activity, quality of life (QOL) in female cancer patients was improved and anxiety was decreased. But this study have limitation to prove effects of Coo-Sun activity completely in female cancer patients. So well designed prospective cohort study will be needed to prove its benefits.

This paper describes a Q-methodological study on the Perception of comfort in hospital in-patients. The participants completed a 37-item Q sort made up of statements which could be ranked in terms of their relevance to the subjective meaning of comfort. Three interpretable types of comfort were identified through this Q study : Type I, positive medical action style, feel secure and satisfied when medical staff show a positive attitude towards them as patients. They put a high value on prompt responses from medical staff and physical aspects of care like non-invasive procedures or comfortable position. Type II, social relation style, experience a state of comfort when they perceive support or concern from medical staff, relatives or other patients suffering from similar diseases. They feel safe and secure when medical staff are kind and have a good reputation or when the size of the hospital is big enough, Type III, emotional wellbeing style, feel that hope for a healthy life or maintaining self-care activities are highly valuable. They feel safe and comfortable when their privacy is protected. They put worth on independent thinking, strong will, and emotional or psychological comfort. The results of this study can be used as a basis to develop nursing measures for comfort. Further studies on factors which influence perception of comfort and intervention strategies according to the above types of comfort need to be done.

본 연구의 목적은 무엇이 여가다운 여가인가를 되짚어 보고, 속도경쟁 사회에서 우리에게 진정으로 필요한 여가는 무엇인가에 대한 성찰의 기회를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 주요 여가개념을 분석하여 이 개념 안에 함축된 우리 사회의 가치판단을 읽어내고, 여가 본연의 가치를 회복하기 위해 필요한 논의를 전개하였다. 결론은 다음과 같다: 첫째, 자기계발과 사회통합 등 사회 순기능적 효과를 가져 오는 진지한 여가의 상대적 우월성을 강조하다보니 일상적 여가가 지닌 본연의 가치는 하향 평가되는 오류를 범하였다. 일상적 여가는 그 자체를 수행함으로써 삶의 균형을 이루려는 인간 본연의 욕구를 충족시켜줄 뿐 아니라 신체적, 심리적으로도 긍정적인 효과를 동반한다는 점을 간과하지 말아야 한다. 둘째, 진지한 일상적 여가의 이분법적 구조의 오류를 극복하기 위해 여가행위의 재연방식으로 정의한 빠른 느린 여가 개념에 대한 이론적 검토가 좀 더 세밀히 이루어져야 할 것이다. 셋째, 우리가 구태의연하고 생산적이지 못하다고 배척해온 삶의 방식도 그 자체를 구현함으로써 충분히 의미가 있다는 의식의 전환이 필요하다.

Before the start of the North Borneo Company administration in North Borneo (now Sabah, Malaysia) in 1882, the Timugon Murut of today's interior Tenom District lived in longhouses, and practiced head-hunting during wars with other Murutic ethnic groups. Their economy revolved around swidden agriculture of hill rice, sago, and cassava. Wet rice cultivation and water buffaloes were introduced just before 1885. Wet rice was planted on the alluvial plains around the Pegalan and Padas Rivers, while dry rice was planted on hillside swiddens that had been cleared by slash-and-burn methods. Today, wet rice cultivation and cash-cropping on the plains are the main Timugon socioeconomic activities, while some families also plant dry rice on the hills as a back-up. The Timugon believe that the physical world is surrounded by the spiritual world, and everything was made by the creator Aki Kapuuno'. The focus of this field research paper is on the beliefs and ritual practices of the Timugon connected to their traditional rice agriculture. This study found that for generations, the Timugon believed that since animals were created by Aki Kapuuno' for the wellbeing of humans, various types of animals and birds convey omens to guide people. Thus, the older Timugon rice cultivation is strongly influenced by good and bad omens and taboos, and also involves symbolic practices and ritual offerings to guardian spirits of the rice. After the 1930s and especially since the 1960s, most Timugon became Roman Catholic Christians. Hence, this paper also examines changes in the traditional Timugon rice cultivation related beliefs and practices due to religious conversion and other factors.
