Since 1980s, 30 years has passed after issues on environmental refugee began to appear. However, why environmental refugee is not considered as refugee officially in international society? Above all, it seems that main point is the responsibility given to those developed countries if they, whom led the climate changes, officially acknowledge environmental refugee. The problem is that environmental refugee has no direct responsibility for causing climate changes. Actually. the responsibility should be granted to the developed and industrialized countries which caused climate changes. In accordance to the refugee protection system established under current international law, it is difficult to include them into refugee category and thus, they can hardly have enough support. It is urgently needed that new refugee treat which have the new standard and solution added to it shall be adopted. To allow new refugee treat to be effective it is compulsory to have constant and binding policy determination and willingness of execution from a united international organization. Of course, before this, countries should try to have common recognition on recognizing new refugee problem and its seriousness as well as solving those problems together. In reality, it is worth considering adoption of semi-forceable type of system as a more effective way, which allocates responsibility of accepting refugee by amount of carbon emitted. Also, as refugee issue has an important influence on mother company and the third countries, execution process of the system has to be defined clearly. For those permanent organizations, they should accurately define environmental factors making refugee and set standards to minimize possibility of abuse and misuse.

Human rights problem of refugee is the most important task to be solved in the international society. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in 1950, with the need for cooperation in the face of the European refugee crisis. In 1951, 'The 1951 refugee convention' was signed for the protection of all refugees. Since the 1951 Refugee Convention, a legal framework has been established for responding to refugees. However, the discrimination and persecution of refugees are still lingering. The interest and the political will of many people in the world are needed to solve this problem. This article analyzes what efforts should be made with respect to human rights issues. This article concludes that, when comparing refugee acceptance and Korea, Korea needs to look at the common denominator of refugee law, human rights law, and international humanitarian law while looking at the treatment of refugees and displaced people from an inclusive approach, and reorganize law and policy. Since Korea is expected to gradually require inclusive policies, Korea should also supplement the legal system and take an inclusive approach. Although Korea as a member of the Refugee Convention, the Geneva Convention, and the Supplementary Protocol, has an obligation to enact domestic implementation laws, it does not reflect all of the obligations required by these conventions, so reorganization is needed.

Refugees who are persecuted can apply for refugee recognition in the Republic of Korea in accordance with the Refugee Convention and the Refugee Act. They can do so either at the port of entry or during their stay in Korea. After undergoing screening, individuals may be recognized and protected under different categories, such as recognized refugees, humanitarian status holders, refugee applicants, and refugees seeking resettlement. Recognized refugees are entitled to the same social benefits and basic livelihood guarantees as Korean nationals. Humanitarian status holders and refugee applicants may receive support such as minimum living expenses, housing facilities, medical care, and education. In the medical field, refugees and their unmarried minor children are eligible for medical support through the "Medical Service Support Project for Marginalized Populations, Including Foreign Workers." This support is in addition to the national healthcare coverage and medical benefits provided by the government. However, there are pressing concerns regarding the inadequate budget allocated to this project and the excessive cost burden placed on participating medical institutions. It is crucial to secure additional funding and implement administrative improvements. Furthermore, it is essential to develop medical support measures that ensure the minimum right to health for individuals who choose not to undergo the refugee recognition process at the port of entry.

본 연구는 Q방법론을 통하여 북한이탈주민에 대한 인식을 분석하여, 향후 북한이탈주민 이미지 제고에 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 32개의 Q 표본을 선정하여 18명에게 분류토록 한 결과 모두 세 가지의 북한이탈 주민의 인식에 대한 유형이 도출되었다. 제1유형 우호적 지지형, 제2유형은 부정적 고정관념형, 제3유형은 중립 추구형으로 구분되었다. 우호적 지지형은 북한이탈주민의 인권을 보장해야 한다는 의견을 보였고, 부정적 고정관념형은 북한이탈주민들에게 차별적 인식을 강하게 가지고 있으며 북한이탈주민에 대한 정확한 지식이 없어서 막연한 편견들을 가지고 있었으며, 중립 추구형은 북한이탈주민에 대한 부정적 고정관념과 편견에는 반대하지만 막연하게 그들에 대하여 동의하지는 않는 태도를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과를 중심으로 향후 북한이탈주민의 사회적 이미지 개선을 위한 세부적인 전략을 개발해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 국제난민의 문제를 해결하기 위한 국제기구로서 국제난민레짐이 어떠한 역사적 변천과정을 거쳐 결정되었고, 각 국가의 난민레짐은 어떻게 운영되고 있는 지를 검토해 보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 주로 문헌연구를 통해 조사 하였고, 대륙간 국가간 비교, 역사적 연구가 병행 되었다. 영국, 독일 등 유럽 국가들은 국제난민레짐 형성을 주도하고 국제난민을 수용하는데 적극적 역할과 긍정적 인식을 가지고 있는 반면 일본과 한국 등 아시아 국가들은 상당한 폐쇄적 난민레짐과 의식을 가지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 즉, 유럽과 아시아의 난민에 대한 세계시민성 의식의 차이를 유추할 수 있다. 이 분석은 각국의 인도주의적 난민정책을 수립하는데 기초 자료가 될 것이다 그리고 현재 분산적으로 시행되는 각 국의 난민 레짐으로 부터 하나의 일반적인 국제 난민 레짐과 제도를 확립하는데 기여할 것이다. 앞으로 본 논문은 각국의 세계난민 정책을 모두 포괄할 수 있는 국제난민 레짐을 수립하고 세계시민성의 난민 포용정책으로 새로운 패러다임을 설정하는데 기여할 수 있다. 따라서 본 여구에서는 이러한 연구를 통해 향후 국제난민정책과 제도의 변동과 법률 및 규정의 합리적인 제정을 유도하게 된다.

This study focused on the increase in refugee-related discourse in Korean society with the recent inflow of asylum seekers to Jeju Island. The purpose of our study was to understand the trends in public opinion concerning the acceptance of refugees by analyzing the content of refugee-related video commentary on YouTube. Topic modeling was conducted to analyze the main points, context, and ideas in the comments. The results indicated that the media mainly focus on the pros and cons of refugees, restricting the refugee issue to the problem of acceptance with a narrow focus on the case of Jeju Island. Refugee acceptance was treated as overwhelmingly unacceptable in the comments. We found that commenters often used negative discourse in the comments as a device for reproducing and amplifying hate speech.

The purpose of this study was to identify the variables affecting parenting efficacy of North Korean refugee mothers. The selected variables were marital satisfaction, social support, and acculturation. The participants consisted of 105 mothers who had defected from North Korea with preschool children living in Seoul, Gwangmyeong-si, and Gyeongsangnam-do provinces. The data thus collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that the marital satisfaction and social support had meaningfully positive effects on the parenting efficacy of North Korean refugee mothers. However, marginalization was found to be a predictor of competence-anxiety in parenting. The selected variables derived from the environmental systems in maternal parenting were significant factors in the parenting efficacy of North Korean refugee mothers and furthermore, their sociocultural environments were also important in parenting. These findings clearly showed that marital satisfaction and social support were the most significant variables of parenting efficacy of North Korean refugee mothers. The results of this study appear to have a great deal of utility as preliminary data to improve the parenting efficacy of North Korean refugee mothers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effects of parenting stress in North Korean refugee fathers on their parenting behavior. Methods: A descriptive study design was used. Data were collected during 2014 and 2015 in a settlement support center for North Korean refugees and 99 North Korean refugee fathers participated. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results: Warmth encouragement parenting behavior received the highest score. The score for parenting stress was 81.98 out of 180, and 32.3% of participants were found to need professional help (${\geq}PSI\;90$). There were significant negative correlations between warmth encouragement parenting behavior and parenting stress. There were also significant positive correlations between rejection neglect parenting behavior and parenting stress. Predictors of warmth encouragement behavior were parent-child dysfunctional interaction which explained 10.1% of the variance. Predictors of rejection neglect behavior were parent-child dysfunctional interaction, number of children and wife's education level which explained 33.4% of the variance. Conclusion: Findings show that North Korean refugee fathers' parenting stress significantly influenced warmth encouragement and rejection neglect parenting behavior indicating a need to identify ways to decrease parenting stress. Parenting education can guide North Korean refugee fathers to strengthen parent-child positive interactions and therefore promote their children's growth and development.
