The purpose of the study was to investigate assisted living residents' perception of foodservice experience using a qualitative approach. A total of 14 residents who lived in assisted living units of a continuing care retirement community participated in interview sessions. The interviews were semi-structured with open-ended questions. The interviews were transcribed and coded to identify themes from the responses. The residents perceived the availability of choices, variety of foods, and service positively, but expressed concerns about food preparation, food quality, and repetitive menus. They were particularly concerned with tough and dry meats. The foodservice department should consider the older residents' ability to chew and their changing taste buds when determining quality of food purchased and preparation methods. The residents considered the service pleasing and described it as satisfactory. They stated that the service staff was friendly but needed more training in proper service techniques. Communication between the foodservice department and the residents was an area to be improved. The foodservice department should increase the residents' involvement in the menu planning and evaluation of the foodservice on a routine basis. Foodservice managers and dietitians working for the older adults can utilize the findings of the study to identify strategies to improve foodservice at their facilities.

In analyzing the effect of the central place improvement projects, this study classifies subject residents into two groups of the residents of the project target regions and those of surrounding villages, and conducts verification. As a result of analysis, Variety of cultural programs is the only factor that positively affects the satisfaction level of the residents of the project target region, and it has been analyzed at the significance level of 10% that a one-unit increase in securing rest areas lowers the satisfaction level of the residents of surrounding villages. This shows that the effect of the central place improvement projects currently promoted is at a low level, and there is also a risk of conflict between the residents in the target region and those in surrounding villages. Although there is no statistical significance, analysis shows that a method to provide the residents in surrounding villages with the project-related information and to guarantee their participation in the project enhances the satisfaction level of the residents of surrounding villages. Therefore, institutional improvements reflecting this need to be made.

The government is in the process of pursuing various resident-driven rural development projects for rural development. Accordingly, the government is promoting various software projects to enhance social capital in order to effectively involve residents in rural development projects. However, residents' participation in rural development projects is still passive, while passive residents' involvement creates various problems such as conflicts among residents in the process of project implementation and poor operation after project implementation. This study is intended to be a basis for inducing voluntary community participation in rural development projects by disclosing the intention of residents to participate in the community's internal solidarity with social capital and connection with external communities. According to the analysis of 195 rural residents, three groups were divided according to the level of social capital awareness. While individualist groups with low integration and social capital were 25.1%, they were more integrated, but the average family-oriented group was 42.5%, and social-development groups with high integration and linked social capital were 32.3%. This study is meaningful in that it revealed that the social capital of the resident community is an important factor in both the internal solidarity (integrity) and the external community connection (connectivity) in the rural area development project.

악취로 인한 유해물질의 배출과 이에 따르는 사회적 문제를 해결하는 가장 확실한 방법은 정부기관이 이 문제를 얼마나 적절하게 취급할 수 있는가에 달려 있다고 할 수 있다. 개인마다 악취에 대한 수용성이 다르고, 악취문제 해결을 위한 사회적 비용의 지불의사도 다르기 때문이다. 이는 악취와 같은 부정적 외부효과를 공공부문의 개입에 의해 해결해야하는 이유이기도 하다. 이 연구는 오창산업단지에서 발생하는 악취문제에 대한 주변지역 주민들의 인식을 경험적으로 측정함으로써 행정규제에 대한 인식과 악취수용성의 상관성을 분석해보았다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 법적규제에 대한 인식은 악취 수용성에 부정적인 효과를 나타내는 것으로 증명되었다. 즉, 법령과 규제에 대한 문제점을 더 강하게 인식할수록 악취에 대한 수용도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 악취물질 배출에 관한 규제를 개선해야한다고 인식하는 주민일수록 악취수용성 판단에 더 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 지방정부의 민원해결에 대한 지역주민들의 만족도는 악취관련 규제에 대한 인식에 영향을 주어 악취 수용성과도 상관관계를 만들어내는 것으로 나타났다.

식수부족문제는 지표수와 지하수의 오염, 수처리의 어려움, 기반시설의 부재로 인해 많은 개발도상국에서 주로 발생하고 있다. 이에 빗물을 모아 식수로 이용하는 빗물식수화시설(RFD)이 매우 효과적인 대안으로 떠오르고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 빗물식수화시설 사업이 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 빗물식수화시설은 지역주민이 사업 종료 후부터 스스로 시설을 운영하도록 하기 때문에 빗물식수화시설 사업에 대한 지역주민의 인식이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 베트남에서 빗물식수화시설을 사용하는 총 209명의 현지 지역주민을 대상으로 설문조사와 면담을 실시하여 지역주민의 인식을 조사하였다. 지역주민들은 빗물식수화시설 사업의 효과성에 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있으며(41.9%), 빗물식수화시설 사업에 참여의향이 있는 것으로 나타났다(58.9%). 지역주민이 빗물식수화시설 사업에서 가장 기대하는 세가지 요소는 '안전한 식수의 공급', '마을공동체의 활성화', '빗물식수화시설의 확산'순으로 나타나 빗물식수화시설 사업에의 참여를 통해 안전한 식수를 공급받는 것을 가장 기대하는 것으로 파악되었다. 빗물식수화시설 사업에서 가장 우려하는 세가지 요소로는 '빗물의 수질', '빗물식수화시설의 설치 기술', '지역주민의 참여도'순으로 나타났으며, 특히 빗물식수화시설 사업의 종료 후의 빗물 수질과 시설의 유지관리를 우려하는 것으로 파악되었다. 빗물식수화시설 사업의 종료 후에도 지역주민이 성공적으로 빗물식수화시설을 운영하기 위해서는 빗물식수화시설의 수질을 용이하게 측정할 수 있는 간편한 수질 측정 도구의 개발과 지역주민 스스로가 빗물식수화시설에 관심을 가지고 유지관리를 할 수 있도록 빗물식수화시설에 대한 정기적인 교육을 진행하는 것이 필요할 것이다.

신안군 반월·박지도는 2019년도 '가고싶은 섬' 사업의 일환으로 지붕과 건축물, 시설물 등을 보라색으로 칠한 컬러마케팅을 시작했다. 이러한 경관 변화가 '위험하지만 아름다운 시도'로 평가되면서 2021년 '세계 최우수 관광마을(Best Tourism Village)'로 선정되어 국내외 관광객들의 관심을 한 몸에 받았다. 그러나 실질적 경관 조성의 주체이자 향유자인 반월·박지도 주민은 경관 계획 및 사업 추진 단계의 변두리에 위치한다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경에서 새로운 경관이 지니는 의미와 기호를 실존적 내부자인 주민을 통해 읽어내었다. 경관에 담긴 상징적 의미와 기호화된 이데올로기를 해석했던 신문화지리학의 문화경관 틀을 활용하였으며, 내부자로서의 다층적 환경인식을 파악하기 위해 총체적 접근을 시도했다. 이로써 섬의 주요 색상인 보라색에 대한 인식, 전체적인 경관과 개별 공간들에 대한 인식, 퍼플섬 사업에 대한 전반적인 인식 변화를 분석했다. 퍼플섬 사업 이후 마을을 인지하는 주요 감각이 시각 중심으로 재편되는 양상을 보였고, 낙후된 마을 환경을 개선할 수 있게 해준 보라색 경관에 만족하고 있었다. 색에 대한 가치판단보다는 부속섬으로서 오랜 시간 경험했던 부정적인 기억이 판단의 근거가 된 것이다. 또한 장소에 대한 인식이 사회적이고 보편적 체계를 지닌 상징적 경관(langue)이 관광 기능을 포함하여 세분화 및 재편되었다. 이는 코스모폴리터니즘(cosmopolitanism) 속에서 등장한 스펙터클 경관의 양상이라고 이해할 수 있다. 그러나 관광지로 변모하는 과정에서 지역 자원의 가치를 새롭게 인식하고 참여를 통해 새로운 문화경관을 만들어가는 모습 또한 발견되었다. 더불어 반월·박지도 사이의 관계 인식이 관광 기능을 중심으로 변화되었다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the influence of local residents' nature environment attitudes for National Park development impact perceptions and to examine application possibility of nature environment attitude for resolution information of National Park management conflicts. Thirty items of residents' perceptions and opinions were designed from previous tourism impact studies. The new environmental paradigm(NEP) was used to measure local residents' nature environment attitudes. In April, 2003, 239 questionnaires were obtained from interview survey in local residents' villages near Gyearyongsan National Park. Generally, most of the local residents perceived low economic effects and negative environment impacts for National Park development. Nature environment attitudes levels were significant differences with socioeconomic variables of local residents, specially high in age, education level and influenced their perceptions toward National Park development impacts. The results were suggested that the nature environment attitudes could be provided a useful reverential framework in resolution of National Park management conflicts.

The direction of Urban regeneration is changing toward holistic regeneration with residents' participation all over the world. While world leading projects in holistic regeneration such as "Ballymun of Ireland" and "Buffalo of U.S.A" appeared, recently in Korea, "Rainbow project" is getting paid attention as a similar example due to its Socio-Physical approach. The purpose of this study is to find the Effect of Socio-Physical Regeneration on Social Network characteristics of Elderly Residents in a public rental apartment. The subjects of the study are elderly residents who have resided since much before the environmental intervention. The research methods is in-depth interview. Specific features of social network included awareness of the physically improved surrounding environment, awareness of and participation in welfare programs, social interactions, identity, and vandalism behavior. As results, most of elderly residents recognized environmental improvement and felt very positive enough to enhance their attachment and pride in their residences. Physical environment changes had a considerable impact on the social network characteristics and also had a strong influence on their relations with community. Considering that permanent public rental housing has been a socially isolated place, it is significant to notice that residents' perception of being excluded and behaviors are changed gradually being influenced by environmental improvement.

This study analyzed the recognition of local residents surrounding farmland conversion area. The details of the survey on the residents included recognition of farmland conversion, the usage and reason of farmland conversion in the surrounding area, impacts of farmland conversion on the local region and agricultural production, and change in farmland prices. According to the analysis, the aging of the local residents progressed, and the ratio of farming population was high in the case study area. There were many warehouse facilities and small scale factories in terms of farmland conversion in the case study area, due to the surrounding area characteristics of industrial complex and relatively cheaper land prices. The farmland conversion affected the local area and residents both positively and negatively, and the surrounding area's land prices rose. The policy implications, based on the findings in this study, indicate the following need to be carried out: the consolidation of action on farmland pollution upon farmland conversion, review of planned collective conversion mode, and return of the land price hike profits to the affected local area and residents. Actually, farmland conversion should be conducted, after a comprehensive and systematic review, because it affects the local area and residents in a complex way.
