  • Until now, records re-enacting social memories have not been main targets for preservation and management in Korea. However, people have recently begun to focus on forming and maintaining their memories because these personalized records have started to be recognized as social and political issues. In this respect, this study aims to find out how to preserve social memories by comparing various global open archives. For achieving our research goal, we first established the definition of social memories and records and revealed their characteristics. After then, we selected representative open archives' websites to examine their collection polices and compare them according to several criteria. As a result, we distilled insights based on similarities and differences of each archive and discussed considerations in preserving social memories consisting of three phases: analyzing target social memories, establishing collection policies, and collecting actual records. This study has significance in that it examines the characteristics of social memories and records and also suggests preliminary findings for advanced research to develop practical tools for social records management and archives.

  • This study aimed to understand the developmental process of poverty and relief during the reign of Jungjong in Joseon Dynasty. The reason why this study focus on the reign of Jungjong in Joseon Dynasty is that the poverty and relief had been happened most frequently, and that the meaning of social welfare could be profound during the periods of Joseon Dynasty. The data is collected based on Jungjongsilok, and the collected data is analyzed by the perspective of Hermeneutics. Five important meanings are resulted as follows: 1) concreted similar methods of social security had been partly carried out, 2) relief policies had been drawn up by the King's absolute authority, 3) given political and social economical conditions for relief had not been sufficient, 4) relief policies had been temporarily enforced, and 5) the king and the retainers had been charged to responsibility for poverty as well as they had been adapted to nature. In addition, three particulars are proposed for following studies such as comparative studies on poverty and relief before or after the reign of Jungjong, studies based on other historical material except Jungjongsilok, and studies on diseases and crimes except poverty.

  • Financial literacy is one of the sustainable development goals of huge concern of governments. Governments explore solutions addressing policies to improve financial literacy. Nevertheless, financial management has such a broad scope and is not just limited to knowledge. As human nature, individuals are born with different confidence levels that include various financial abilities. This study aims to investigate the household-financial efficacy through the application of psychometric instruments, risk preference, and demographic characteristics toward consumption decision behavior. The research is based on a survey 479 households in the peninsular Malaysia, and utilizes the structural equation model, cluster proportional and systematic random sampling, and two measurements - composite reliability and average variance extracted. Results show that households' financial efficacy is one of the critical factors that explain the households' consumption decision behavior. Also, risk preference, gender and area location (rural or urban) of the household determined the consumption decision behavior of the household. The effectiveness of consumption decision is not only determined by financial literacy, but also financial efficacy. The implications of this paper may help to design policies in narrowing the broad gap between the rural and urban level of financial efficacy. The government needs to take appropriate actions to fix it.

  • There are many institutions, organizations, and sites related to responding to infectious diseases, but as the pandemic situation such as COVID-19 continues for years, there are many changes in the initial and current aspects, and accordingly, policies and response systems are evolving. As a result, regional gaps arise, and various problems are scattered due to trust, distrust, and implementation of policies. Therefore, in the process of analyzing social data including information transmission, Twitter data, one of the major social media platforms containing inaccurate information from unknown sources, was developed to prevent facts in advance. Based on social data, which is unstructured data, an algorithm that can automatically detect infectious disease threats is developed to create an objective basis for responding to the infectious disease crisis to solidify international competitiveness in related fields.

  • This study aimed to present a policy direction that could preemptively respond to urban development by analyzing past trends and predicting future changes in urban logistics in South Korea. In particular, the scope of the study was centered on changes in the national and regional logistics master plans presented in a framework that acted on logistics policy. So, the study examined the policy changes related to urban logistics from the past to the present based on the national logistics master plan and identified a national policy base to respond to the expected changes in the logistics environment in the future. Moreover, by combining this base with the contents of the urban logistics master plan of Seoul, we proposed a logistics policy that should be continued or newly added to the urban logistics master plan. Policy proposals were also presented by dividing the future logistics environment changes into policy, social, and technological changes. In particular, the policies were proposed in urban planning (10 policies), transportation planning and ITS (8 policies), logistics technology and ITS (6 policies), and laws and systems (8 policies). Regarding policy continuity, 15 policies needed to be continued, and 17 policies were to be introduced later.

  • This paper reviews the concept and limits of rural community development, examines the relation between consciousness education and movement, and suggests the model of social consciousness education to rural community movement. Since consciousness education is closely related to social movement methodologically, organizational and systematic community development movements for re-structuring the urban-oreiented policies and education which back up them be followed as natural consequence. Based upon the results of this study, the new paradigm is suggested. As shown in the model, new understanding of urban-rural continuum theory, new roles and concept of social consciousness education should be emphasized to solve the contemporary rural community problems. The organizational community development movement for the rural-oriented policy should be an essential process, and peoples' re-orientation, such as 'breaking stereotype', 'assumming a critical thinking toward social reality' etc., is the indispensible background of successful movement.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the social capital of youth and to draw implications for the policies related to development of the social capital of them. To this end, we utilized the OLS regression model and the quantile regression model exploiting the 12th year dataset of the Korean Education & Employment Panel(KEEP). First, this study shows that the effect on trust is higher than that of the counterpart when the case is a) unmarried, b) with the high level of education, c) with a large asset, d) with high self-respect and the satisfaction for financial situation, and e) social media user. On the other hand, the higher the monthly average income, the lower the trust level. In addition, when the cases are grouped into 25 quantile, 50 quantile, and 75 quantile according to the level of trust, it is revealed empirically that the factors affecting social capital formation are somewhat different. Second, this study also shows that the effect is higher in a specific condition. The effect is higher compared to the counterpart when the case is a) male, b) with children, c) metropolitan city resident, d) non-employee, e) with a large asset, f) with high level of happiness, g) with high expense of purchasing books, and h) social media user. As a result, it is found that there are no personal characteristics that have statistically significant influence on students belonging to the 25th quantile of social capital. This study suggests that, in order to support the formation of social capital of Korean youths, it is necessary to enhance their psychological satisfaction and to provide cultural support or policies. In addition, it suggests that a tailored social capital accumulation program is needed according to the level of social capital, and the support for this need to be changed according to the amount of social capital of young people.

  • Social capital theory provides a robust framework for analyzing economic well being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of social capital on the economic satisfaction of retirees in Korea. The data from the first wave of KLoSA(Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging) were used(n=1,628). SPSS 12.0 was used for descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The major findings were as follows: First, after controlling for gender, age, region, housing tenure, and personal income, the social capital of the retirees, including cognitive social capital(trust and reciprocity) and structural social capital(emotional and economic familial support, and a well-developed social network), contributes to increases in their economic well-being. Second, the degree of effect social capital has on well-being varied by gender and age; the effect was also different according to gender, regardless of the person's age. These empirical results provide a basis for the institution of policies that help bolster economic wellbeing for retirees by creating conditions that increase social capital in this group.
