연구목적: 본 연구는 사회적 취약계층을 고려한 재난문자방송 서비스의 개선에 초점을 맞추고, 특히 고령자에게 필요한 서비스 요인을 일반인과 비교분석을 통하여도출하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 다중회귀분석을 활용하였으며, 종속변수로 재난문자방송 서비스의 전반적인 만족도를 사용하였고, 독립변수로 각각의 서비스 요인들을 선정하여 2개 그룹을 비교분석하였다. 연구결과: 분석결과, 고령자와 일반인 두 그룹 모두 재난문자방송의 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 서비스 요인은 신속한 전달인 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째 요인으로는 고령자의 경우 충분한 내용 전달로 나타났으며, 일반인의 경우 시스템 품질로 나타났다. 두 그룹 간의 분석결과를 종합하면, 고령자는 내용적인 측면을 좀 더 중요하게 생각하는 반면, 일반인은 시스템 품질, 송출기준 등과 같은 기능적인 측면을 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 고령자들은 신속한 전달과 함께 충분한 내용 전달을 중요시하고 있는데, 이는 고령자가 일반인에 비해 이해력과 사고력이 떨어지게 된다는 점에서 고령자 특성을 고려한 재난문자 송출이 필요하다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the relationships between family function and successful aging of vulnerable elderly using the circumplex model. Methods: The participants were the elderly (N=401) who were over 65 years old living in H city under the National Livelihood Security Act. Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III and Successful Aging Instrument were used. Results: The family function perceived by the study subjects was average $43.20{\pm}16.62$ out of maximum 100 points. According to the analysis on family types suggested by circumplex model, there were 183 people for balance family (45.6%) and 218 people (54.4%) for extreme family. The total points on successful aging were $1.67{\pm}0.37$ out of 3 points. When the difference in points on the Successful Aging instrument were analyzed according to the scores on the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale those points of the balanced family were statistically significant (t=2.087, p=.038). Conclusion: In case of the balanced family type, the level of perceiving successful aging was relatively higher. For the improvement of family function, it is advised that the successful aging perception among vulnerable elderly can be uplifted through a program that enables effective communication with other family members.

Disadvantaged from disaster response training and disaster safety education who people are vulnerable to disasters when faced with disasters. The vulnerability of these disaster response will be linked to the desire for disaster information. Therefore, using smartphone to provide timely disaster information will be an effective disaster response service that enables disaster vulnerable people to avoid disaster efficiently. In particular, the importance of using smartphone as a part of the body will become more and more important in everyday situations when information is acquired through smartphone. In this study, Through a survey of traditional market traders, I can find out that the desire of elderly women, who are weak in disaster, to receive disaster information through smartphone text service is relatively strong. Based on the results of this study, I expect that the opportunity to improve disaster response capability through smartphone text service will be provided to elderly women who are weak in disaster.

우리나라는 경제 사회적 구조 변화로 인해 재난에 취약한 계층이 증가하고 있다. 특히, 고령화, 양극화, 국제화 추세가 심화됨에 따라 노인, 장애인, 기초생활수급자, 외국인, 다문화 가정 등 사회적 취약계층으로 불리는 이들이 재난에도 취약한데 흔히, '재난약자'라고 불린다. 재난약자들은 재난 발생시에 일반인과 달리 재난정보 획득에 어려움을 겪는 등, 자력으로 신속한 대응이 어렵기 때문에 특별한 관심과 관련된 정책이 필요하다. 물론, 최근에 재난약자에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만 외국인에 대한 논의는 상대적으로 부족하고, 이는 그들에 대한 재난에 대한 이해나 대처방법에 대한 실태를 정확하게 파악하지 못하게 되어 한국인의 시각과 관점에서 관련 정책을 마련하게 되고, 결국 국내 체류 외국인들은 관련 정보를 얻는데 어려움을 겪을 수 밖에 없는 악순환이 반복되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에 거주하고 있는 외국인 근로자를 대상으로 재난정보에 대한 인식과 획득경로 등에 대한 심층인터뷰를 실시하였다. 인터뷰를 통해 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 국내 체류 외국인 근로자들이 빈번하게 접하는 정보매체를 이해하고, 적극적으로 활용하는 방안 등 실질적인 정보제공을 위한 함의를 도출하였다.

The cross-sectional descriptive survey study was a nationwide randomization sampling among the population of elderly families who have Medicaid. The data were collected during the month of October, 1999 and total sample was 1,027 elderly people. There were major findings according to the studies. In the results of the ADL assessment most of elderly people were within the 24 to 45 point range. Also, 63.3% of elderly people who made 45 points do not need help when performing daily activities according to the 15 areas of activity components, and 4.9% of these people couldn't do their daily activities. The results of the Dementia assessment were 70.6% of elderly people were in the normal range, 21.7% have a mild case, and 2.8% have severe case of dementia. These were found by using instruments for mental states, which simplified to items of detection of early dementia. In the result of these tests, there was a significantly positive correlation between ADL and degree of dementia with the pearson correlation coefficients. As a result of these studies, the author recommend to strengthen function and organization of public health like a visiting nurse center for elderly people who are over 65 years old. In addition, the government should apply early detection and management system for dementia in the community continuously and cost-effectively, especially for elderly people who live alone and are vulnerable elderly as our priority.

앞으로 교통약자의 수가 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상되므로 노인, 장애인과 같은 교통약자를 위한 다양한 정책이 마련되어야 할 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 교통약자들의 보행안전만족도에 보행자의 개인 및 가구특성과 공공시설 접근성이 미치는 영향을 실증분석하고, 교통약자의 보행안전만족도를 향상시키기 위한 방안을 모색하여 포용적 도시환경 조성에 기여하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 노인의 보행안전만족도에는 연령, 성별 변수가 중요하였으며, 장애인의 보행안전만족도에는 학력이 중요한 요소였다. 노인과 장애인 모두 1인가구일수록, 소득이 많을수록, 광역시가 아닌 지역에 거주할수록 보행안전만족도가 증가하였다. 공공시설 접근성의 경우 공공기관 접근성에 만족할수록, 도시공원 및 녹지 접근성에 만족할수록, 대중교통 접근성에 만족할수록 노인과 장애인의 보행안전만족도가 증가하였다. 노인은 상업시설 접근성에 만족할수록 보행안전만족도가 높아졌으나, 의료시설 접근성에 만족할수록 오히려 보행만족도는 낮아졌다.
