본 연구는 GIS 공간분석기법을 활용하여 서울특별시의 각 동별 노인주간보호시설의 접근성 지수를 산출, 비교 분석하여 향후 시설의 신설 또는 확장을 할 경우에 운영의 공간적 효율성과 형평성을 향상시킬 수 있는 입지 후보지는 어디인지를 파악해 보는데 목적을 두었다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 서울시 노인주간보호시설의 분포가 시설을 이용하리라 추정되는 노인인구의 분포를 반영하고 있지 못했고, 특히 강서구와 송파구 등 서울의 외곽경계지역에 해당하는 동들의 접근성이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 노인주간보호시설의 운영정책에 있어서 다음과 같은 함의를 가진다. 첫째, 시설이용 노인들의 복지시설에의 접근성 향상이라는 대전제 하에서는 현재 노인주간보호시설로 부터 상대적으로 거리가 먼 지역에서의 시설 설치가 요구된다. 둘째, 예산의 제약 등으로 추가적인 시설의 설치 없이 기존시설의 정원을 늘리는 정책을 전개할 경우 근접성이 높게 나타난 시설들의 규모를 우선적으로 확장함으로써 보다 많은 수의 노인들이 좀 더 용이하고 빈번하게 이용할 수 있도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 마지막으로 접근성이 중시되는 다른 노인재가시설들과 사회복지시설의 설치와 확대, 평가에 있어서도 본 접근성 분석 기법을 적극 활용함으로써, 이동에 제약이 많은 복지시설 이용자들의 복지권을 보장하는 한편 사회복지 자원 투자의 당위성을 확보할 필요가 있다.

Purpose: This study utilized a strong quasi-experimental design to test the hypothesis that the implementation of a policy to expand dental care services resulted in an increase in the usage of dental outpatient services. Methods: A total of 45,650,000 subjects with diagnoses of gingivitis or advanced periodontitis who received dental scaling were selected and examined, utilizing National Health Insurance claims data from July 2010 through November 2015. We performed a segmented regression analysis of the interrupted time-series to analyze the time-series trend in dental costs before and after the policy implementation, and assessed immediate changes in dental costs. Results: After the policy change was implemented, a statistically significant 18% increase occurred in the observed total dental cost per patient, after adjustment for age, sex, and residence area. In addition, the dental costs of outpatient gingivitis treatment increased immediately by almost 47%, compared with a 15% increase in treatment costs for advanced periodontitis outpatients. This policy effect appears to be sustainable. Conclusions: The introduction of the new policy positively impacted the immediate and long-term outpatient utilization of dental scaling treatment in South Korea. While the policy was intended to entice patients to prevent periodontal disease, thus benefiting the insurance system, our results showed that the policy also increased treatment accessibility for potential periodontal disease patients and may improve long-term periodontal health in the South Korean population.

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the regional characteristics on the accessibility of emergency care and the impact of emergency medical accessibility on the patients' prognosis and the emergency medical expenditure. Methods: This study used the 13th beta version 1.6 annual data of Korea Health Panel and the statistics from the Korean Statistical Information Service. The sample included 8,119 patients who visited the emergency centers between year 2013 and 2017. The arrival time, which indicated medical access, was used as dependent variable for multi-level analysis. For ordinal logistic regression and multiple regression, the arrival time was used as independent variable while patients' prognosis and emergency medical expenditure were used as dependent variables. Results: The results for the multi-level analysis in both the individual and regional variables showed that as the number of emergency medical institutions per 100 km² area increased, the time required to reach emergency centers significantly decreased. Ordinal logistic regression and multiple regression results showed that as the arrival time increased, the patients' prognosis significantly worsened and the emergency medical expenses significantly increased. Conclusion: In conclusion, the access to emergency care was affected by regional characteristics and affected patient outcomes and emergency medical expenditure.

The purpose of this study was to compare the health status of South Korea with those of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and examine the trends. Position vAlue for Relative Comparison (PARC) was used as a gauge for comparison, and five sectors of the health care system were measured: demand, supply, accessibility, quality, and cost. The Mann-Kendall test was used as a statistical analysis method to examine trend of PARC values obtained from 2000 to recent years. According to the results, the demand, supply, accessibility, and quality sectors were higher than the OECD average, while the cost was lower than the average. However, there is a recent trend of sharp increases in health care costs. Some indicators: health employment, quality of primary care and mental health care were lower than the OECD average, and health determinants showed a worsening trend. Therefore, policy-makers need to take this into account and make efforts for sustainable health care.

본 연구는 카셰어링의 대중교통 접근성이 카셰어링 이용수요에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 수원시에서 운영 중에 있는 그린카의 대여이력 데이터베이스와 대중교통 GIS DB를 활용하여 카셰어링 대여소별로 대중교통 접근성에 따른 카셰어링 이용수요 모형을 구축하고 이를 해석하였다. 연구 결과 카셰어링 대여소로의 접근수단은 도보가 73%로 가장 많으며, 자전거 3%, 버스와 도시철도는 20%로 나타났다. 버스와 도시철도의 접근성이 반영된 카셰어링 이용 모형의 적합도는 0.818로 대중교통 접근성은 유의한 변수임을 확인하였다. 즉, 카셰어링의 대여소는 대중교통과의 환승이 용이한 장소에 설치되는 것이 보다 이용수요를 증진시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 대중교통 수단 중 버스 접근성은 유의한 변수로 확인된 반면, 도시철도 접근성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났는데, 타 대중교통 수단과의 상호 이용수요 증진 측면에서 도시철도와 카셰어링간의 원활한 연계를 위한 환승할인 및 편도 반납 정책 등 다양한 보완적 정책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과는 카셰어링에 대한 기초적 연구에 불과하지만, 대중교통간 환승수요를 증진시키는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 서방 선진국을 포함한 주요 아시아 국가의 사회적 취약계층을 위한 정보통신 접근성 향상 관련 정책들을 비교 분석하여 우리나라에서 시행되고 있는 정책 개선을 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 대한민국은 아시아 국가에 비해 법과 표준이 잘 정비되어 실효성이 높은 반면 서방국가들과의 비교에서는 상대적으로 관련 정책들의 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 급변하는 정보통신기술에 대한 새로운 정의들을 관련법이 명확히 반영하는데 한계를 보였으며 웹 및 모바일 애플리케이션 접근성 이외의 정책 및 표준 제정이 미흡하였다. 이에 대한 개선을 위해 법 제 개정 주기를 단축하고 정보통신 접근성 관련 시나리오를 사전에 연구 개발, 필요시 즉시 적용할 수 있도록 정부 산하의 전문연구기관을 설립하는 방법들을 고려해볼 수 있을 것이다. 사회취약계층은 정보통신에 대한 접근성을 보장받지 못하고 정보를 잘 활용하는 사람들과 구별되어 사회, 경제, 문화 등 삶의 많은 측면에서 차별을 받고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 차별 해소를 위해서는 정부의 지원과 관련 업계의 자발적인 참여 및 국민의 관심이 지속이 뒷받침 되어야 할 것이다.
