이 연구는 급속한 디지털 미디어 발달과 한국사회의 디지털 격차(digital divide) 현상에 주목하여, 개인의 사회경제적 지위에 따른 디지털 격차와 삶의 만족도에 대해 세대별, 도시-농촌간 비교 연구를 진행하였다. 정보통신정책연구원의 <한국미디어패널>조사 데이터를 기반으로 전국 규모의 9,647개 샘플 데이터를 토대로 사회경제적 지위가 디지털 격차와, 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 대해 종합적으로 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과, 개인의 사회경제적 지위는 디지털 격차와 삶의 만족도에 각각 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 세대별로 구분하였을 경우, 2030연령대가 디지털 활용과 삶의 만족도 등 모든 항목에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였으며, 60대 이상 연령층이 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다. 또한, 디지털 활용은 모든 계층에 있어서 도시거주자들이 높은 수치를 보였지만, 삶의 만족도는 하위계층과 중위 계층에서는 농촌지역이, 상위계층에서는 도시지역이 더 높이 나왔다. 이 연구는 초연결사회로 진행되어 가는 한국 사회에서 여전히 해소되지 못하고 있는 디지털 형평의 문제를 사회경제적지위와 도시-농촌 간 비교를 통해 재확인하면서 궁극적으로 문제해결을 위한 단서를 제공하고 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

본 연구는 농촌지역 생활공동체 거주 노인들의 생활만족도에 공동체 특성이 미치는 영향을 파악함에 주목한 연구이다. 분석에 활용한 자료는 전라북도 농촌 노인 생활공동체에 거주하는 노인들을 대상으로 수집한 서베이 자료이다(사례 수 670명). 구체적인 분석에는 공동체 특성 변수들은 독립변수, 생활만족도를 종속변수, 개인 특성은 통제변수로 설정한 다중회귀분석모델을 적용하였다. 분석결과는 공동체 특성 중에서는 프로그램, 구성원간 상호지원, 물리적 공간 만족도, 지역공동체 의식, 구성원간 갈등, 가사노동 부담감 등이 생활공동체 거주 노인의 생활만족도에 유의미하게 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러, 주관적 건강, 월평균 소득, 혼인상태(사별) 등의 개인 특성 변수들 또한 유의미 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 분석결과는 농촌 생활공동체의 특성들이 거주 노인들의 생활만족도에 주요한 영향 요인임을 보여주는 바로, 농촌 노인 생활공동체의 성과 제고를 위해서는 거주 노인들간 상호관계 향상, 프로그램들의 개발 및 실행, 물리적 공간의 개선 등 생활공동체 측면들에의 개선이 적극 필요함을 시사하여 준다.

There are direct and indirect approaches to measure the quality of rural life with comparison of urban. One of the direct approach is to survey living satisfaction of rural residents. Survey result is also important factor for the understanding of local needs in rural development. Rural Development Adminstration(RDA) has developed a survey table with 71 survey items for measuring the satisfaction of rural residents. In rural field forum which have conducted for finding the direction of rural development, the understanding of local needs with measuring the satisfaction of rural residents is important. But developed survey table is difficult to be applied in rural field forum not only many survey items but also overlapping in survey range. The purpose of this study is to suggest a field-applicable survey table in rural field forum based on results of RDA. Survey items were selected based on the importance score of RDA survey table, and weighting values were applied to each survey items. Finally, we suggested 31 items based on results with principle component and reliability analysis.

This paper has two purposes. the one was to find empirical patterns of rural and urban elderly's leisure activities, and the other was to test the effects of elderly's leisure activities on life satisfaction. the data were collected for 319 respondents aged over 50s who resided in Jeonbuk rural and urban areas. Through exploratory factor analysis, we found ten patterns of leisure activities. In addition, we conducted multiple regression analysis to test net effects of those leisure activities on life satisfaction. the results indicate that even no one pattern of leisure activities significantly influences the elderly's life satisfaction, controlling for social correlates (consisted of social structural, family relationship, personality, and socio-economic demographic variables). Rather, the respondent's level of health, level of economic status, and positive relationship with adult children have significant net effects on respondent's life satisfaction. This result suggests that the positive relationship between leisure activities and life satisfaction in the existing empirical studies might be spurious. We recommend that the further studies should conduct survey and analyze the data for affluent elderly residing in more urbanized areas.

This study begins with an interest in community capacity, the basis for mobilizing community action and the driving force of community development. The study aims to identify the structural equation model of community capacity, social participation, satisfaction in life, and the impact relationship and to verify the differences between urban and rural areas. The analysis data used the 2018Korean Social Integration Survey, which is the statistical data for national approval. The analysis method was performed by using SPSS was used to perform descriptive analysis and t-test, and the structural equation model. Multi-group analysis of AMOS was also performed to verify the research model. As the result of analysis, both the condition and status of community capacity and social participation, which are products of community capacity, showed a higher average of rural areas than urban areas. As a result of the analysis of the structural equation model between community capacity, social participation, and life satisfaction, differences between rural and urban groups were identified. In rural areas, both the capacity-condition and the capacity-status variables act as positive factors for social participation and life satisfaction, but in urban areas, the path of capacity-condition, social participation, capacity-status and life satisfaction was significant. On the other hand, social participation variables acted as a factor of direct and indirect negatively influence on life satisfaction. Therefore, it can be said that the quality of community capacity in rural areas is superior to that of urban areas.
