The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the dimensions and patterns of the perception of traditional food for Koreans living in Yanbian, Mongolia and Uzbekistan. Items representing the perception of traditional food were combined into a dimension and a pattern based on underlying perception of the Koreans living in the area. Any difference in the perception of the Koreans living in these areas likely reflects their different dimensions and patterns. Thus, it is important to determine if Koreans living in Yanbian, Mongolia and Uzbekistan should be treated as a homogeneous group when defining their perceptional structure of traditional food. Factor and cluster analysis of the data generated in this study revealed two different dimensions and patterns for each group of Koreans living in Yanbian, Mongolia and Uzbekistan. However, the structure of the dimensions and patterns of the perception of traditional food differed, indicating that Koreans within and between the countries are not a homogeneous group. Similarities and differences in perceptional dimensions and patterns among Yanbian, Mongolian and Uzbekistan-Koreans are also discussed. Moreover, future implications for food and nutrition specialists, especially for those who have an interest in Korean traditional food in Asia and those who have an interest in globalization of Korean traditional food are provided.

Kimchi and Jang (bean paste) are essential for most Koreans and most Koreans are making these at home. 5) Most Koreans have maintained a good relationship with the Uzbek people and Koreans are very active in gelling along well with all. This enables them to exchange their culture eventually in various parts. This study could be the first step to supply basic information for the study of the Korean diaspora in Uzbekistan. Deeper research over a wider range is needed in Russia.

The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of generation on the traditional food culture of Uzbekistan-Koreans. The generation of Uzbekistan-Koreans was divided into two groups i.e., the second and third generation. The second generation suffered from the compulsory emigration during 1930s because of the minority racial breakup policy by the Soviet Russia. The third generation was born after the compulsory emigration and the economic condition was much better for them. In terms of identifying traditional food culture, generation was an important factor because each generation had different social environments and different life styles. Data were collected from 634 Koreans living in Uzbekistan and analyzed by chi-square and correlation analysis. The results of this study revealed that the impact of generation was an important factor regarding the traditional food culture. Chi-square analysis showed that factors related to making a menu, food priority, and consideration of the person preparing the food were likely to vary depending on the generation. Also, reasons for preferring traditional food and preparing foods for family events as well as national holidays were different between the second and the third generation. The second generation preferred traditional food because of flavor, while the third generation preferred traditional food because of nutrition. For family events and national holidays such as New Year's Day, the second generation was more likely to prepare traditional foods than the third generation. The correlation analysis indicated that the relationship between preference and intake frequency of traditional foods was positively related, and the degree of correlation was higher for the second than the third generation. Similarities and differences between generations were discussed, and implications for food and nutrition specialists and food marketers were provided.

Uzbekistan has been gradually integrating into the world economy since gaining its independence back in 1991. The need to integrate stems from the desire to advance the national economy and social well-being of population through importing advanced technologies or stimulating exports. However, opening up the country also meant exposure to increase in the mobility of its human capital. As a result, Uzbekistan has witnessed labor migration in and out of the country in the past couple of decades, driven by various causes, which is having inevitable social and economic implications for the country. Intensifying processes in contemporary international labor market make migration as a mechanism, which has a back-to-back impact onto and from economic development of a country. From developing countries' perspective, international labor migration is an instrument for reducing tension in national labor markets, decreasing high rates of unemployment and expanding sources of income. From developed countries' perspective, international labor migration helps solve demographic problems like decreasing number of population, aging of population and shortage of labor force. Thus, this processes turned into a mechanism or a system, which is not possible to ignore. Uzbekistan, in particular, is increasing its participation in the international labor market due to its high rates of population growth and young population.

본 연구는 중앙아시아 한인의 생활 실태를 밝히는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 중앙아시아 한인의 인구학적 특성을 살펴보고, 그들이 지니고 있는 사회문화적 특성과 문제점을 전반적인 사회변동의 맥락에서 검토하고자 한다. 본 연구는 중앙아시아의 우즈베키스탄, 카자흐스탄 한인 사회에 대한 현지조사를 기초로 진행되었다. 현지조사는 설문조사와 심층면접으로 이루어졌다. 설문조사는 타쉬켄트와 알마타에서 러시아어로 준비된 질문지를 통해 수행되었다. 이와 함께 한인 및 단체에 대한 방문, 면담, 관찰 등으로 얻은 질적 자료도 활용되었다. 연구결과 중앙아시아 한인들이 당면하고 있는 가장 심각한 문제는 구소련이 해체되면서 급속히 진행되고 있는 체제변화 속에서 어떻게 적응해야 하는가라는 과제와 직결된다. 예컨대, 경제적 기반이자 정신문화의 구심점이었던 집단농장이 붕괴돼 가고, 한글을 모르는 세대가 성장하면서 신구세대간의 갈등이 빚어지고, 정신적 보루였던 고려일보, 조선극장 등 각종 문화단체들이 변화의 소용돌이 속에서 생존의 몸부림을 치고 있다. 이와 함께 각 공화국의 자민족 중심정책에 따른 언어문제도 한인들에게 또 다른 적응의 고통이 되고 있다. 이들에게 필요한 것은 한인들이 다민족 사회에서 자기의 말과 문화를 간직한 채 상당한 정도의 동질성을 유지해 가며 주위의 다른 민족과 잘 살아 나아가는 것이다. 현지어의 습득을 위한 노력도 게을리 하지 말아야 하며 각 공화국 개혁에 능동적으로 참여하는 주인역도 맡아야 한다. 이러한 노력과 함께 한국인 및 한국정부도 이들에 보다 많은 관심과 정책적 배려를 아끼지 말아야 한다. 특히 정부 및 민간 차원의 경제적·문화적 교류 활성화와 그 결과로서 현지 한인들의 생활기반 안정과 지위 향상을 도모하는 노력이 지속적으로 전개되어야 할 것이다. 한국어와 한국문화에 대한 제도적 지원, 그리고 한국경제의 지속적인 발전에 따른 한인들의 자부심 고양 등이 한인들에 대한 자극제로 작용할 때 한인과 한국인 사이의 인식의 공감대가커질 수 있으며, 이는 다시 조국과 민족의식을 되찾아 주는 계기가 될 것이기 때문이다.
