  • 한국에서 동남아 지역연구는 환경적 요인뿐만 아니라 연구기관의 조직화, 학문후속세대 육성을 위한 학자들의 전략적 노력 덕분에 급속하게 성장할 수 있었다. 특히 '기관 형성자'로서 정치학계의 역할이 두드러졌으며, '연대 형성자'로서 인류학계의 리더십도 발휘되고 있다. 지리학은 해외지역연구와 분리할 수 없는 학문으로 여겨진다. 그럼에도 불구하고 양적인 측면에서 볼 때 지리학계의 기여는 아직 미진하다. 앞으로 지리학계는 동남아연구의 미개척 주제 확장에 기여할 수 있을 것이며, 나아가 인문 사회과학과 자연과학의 분절현상을 극복하는 교량역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 필자는 이러한 지리학의 역할을 해외지역연구의 '지평 확장자'라 부르고자 한다.

  • Area Studies, by definition, conjure ideas of emplaced knowledge; in-depth interdisciplinary understanding of language, history, culture and politics of a nation or region. Where detractors might see this approach as overly empirical, therefore precluding theoretical sophistication, others argue that "places" are either artificially constructed, or that processes of globalisation have obliterated the cultural zone. But what if we turn an ethnographic eye to those very processes and technologies themselves? Can Area Studies take to the air, and if so, what are the attendant challenges and benefits? Based on insights from ethnography amongst airline customer service workers, ground and cabin crews in Thailand and Myanmar, this research examines the airline cabin as a field for ethnographic study, and as an emplaced site for political and cultural processes. With participant observation-based knowledge of Southeast Asian cabin crews, this paper examines the 1990 hijack of Thai Airways TG 305 from an emplaced cultural perspective.

  • The purpose of this paper is to derive attractive items of 'Hanok' in order to preserve 'Hanok' in urban area, focused on the 13 preceding studies which have got in respect of image, satisfaction, preference, awareness and advantage of 'Hanok' in urban area revolved around the latest studies. This study is analysis of questionnaire items and results of 13 preceding studies. And attractive items are classified with general and overall survey items, advantage of 'Hanok' in urban area, and image of Hanok-density urban area. These can also be classified with 5 items which are space, health, material, form, and image of 'Hanok' in urban area. As a result, Space items are composed with 'use of a space', 'cosiness', 'garden' and 'floor and ondol(korean floor heating system). Health items are composed with 'lighting and ventialtion', 'a sense of the season' and 'natural material'. Material items are composed with 'natural beauty', 'wooden', 'changhoji(traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark for doors and windows) and hanji(traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), 'rafter' and 'new materials'. Form items are composed with 'attractive appearance', 'simply decoration' and 'traditional elements'. Image items are composed with 'crowding', 'traditionality and historicity', 'dichroism' and 'warmth'.

  • This paper examines the performances of economics for Southeast Asian studies and finds the relationship between economics and Southeast Asian studies in Korea. Based on this we try to find the direction and the way how economics contributes to Southeast Asian studies. First of all, we look into several journals on area studies, such as Review of Southeast Asia, and find out that economics researches on Southeast Asia are much fewer than expected. This shows that Korean economists are not much interested in the issue of Southeast Asia and reflects the academic differences as discipline in economics and interdisciplinary Southeast Asian studies. However, we could find the common area that economics and Southeast Asian studies can share. Also, we suggest some points that economics contributes to development of Southeast Asian studies toward a independent academic discipline. It includes the theory and methodology of international, and development economics. The rapid development of information and communication technology and the economic integration by globalization needs new and modified economic theory and methodology for research on Southeast Asia. Adopting the objective and statistical methodology of economics could level up Southeast Asian studies as social science. Also, Southeast Asian studies need to recruit more actively economics research topics and methodology. Economics could attribute to the development of Korean Southeast Asian studies.

  • The paper brings together several strands of debate and deliberation in which I have been involved since the early 2000s on the definition of Southeast Asia and the rationale of Southeast Asian Studies. I refer to the relationship between area studies and methodologies as a conundrum (or puzzle), though I should state from the outset that I think it is much more of a conundrum for others than for me. I have not felt the need to pose the question of whether or not area studies generates a distinctive method or set of methods and research practices, because I operate from a disciplinary perspective; though that it is not to say that the question should not be posed. Indeed, as I have earned a reputation for "revisionism" and championing disciplinary approaches rather than regional ones, it might be anticipated already the position that I take in an examination of the relationships between methodologies and the practice of "area studies" (and in this case Southeast Asian [or Asian] Studies). Nevertheless, given the recent resurgence of interest in the possibilities provided by the adoption of regional perspectives and the grounding of data gathering and analysis within specified locations in the context of globalization, the issues raised for researchers working in Southeast Asia and within the field of Southeast Asian Studies require revisiting.

  • Purpose: This paper is a review of interventions designed to promote self-awareness in the nursing area. The specific purpose was to analyze the general characteristics of self-awareness intervention studies, intervention contents, and the effects of the studies in order to present basic information for developing self-awareness interventions in the nursing area. Methods: Using "nurse/nursing" and "self-awareness" as key words, the researchers searched six electronic databases. The method proposed by Whittemore and Knafl was used. Results: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. The most common research design was quasi-experimental. Nine quasi-experimental studies (52.9%), 7 qualitative studies (41.2%), and 1 mixed methodology study (5.9%) were analyzed. Most studies used group intervention and student nurses as participants. The interventions were revealed to be effective in enhancing participants' self-awareness. The reflection method was used in most intervention approaches. Conclusion: To provide therapeutic nursing care, having self-awareness is important. Future research with well-designed clinical trials applying self-awareness intervention needs to be conducted to enhance self-awareness in the nursing area.

  • This study aims a comparative analysis of social stratification in the Great Seoul area using two types of population. One type of population is a resident population(常住人口), and the other is a daytime population주간인구(晝間人口). In most demographic studies, only resident population have been considered. There has been less attention to daytime population. However, a resident population have a character of night population야간인구(夜間人口). In fact, most people move and work in the areas where they do not live in everyday life in the contemporary period, which indicates that the concept of a daytime population is more significant than that of a resident population. This study reveals that a number of people, on the one hand. come together to the downtown area to work or study while they live in other areas. On the other hand, resident population in downtown area do not move so much. When we analyze the social stratification structure of the Great Seoul area using a resident population, we find that the resident population of downtown area consist of those of low social status. On the contrary, the daytime population of downtown area in Seoul consist of those of high social status. This means that most people of high social status live in the southern area of Seoul or outside Seoul, but make a living in downtown area in everyday life. From this study, we find that the concept of a daytime population is as important as that of a resident population. The more residence becomes separate from work place, the more the significance of the concept of a daytime population grows in making policy as wall as in demographic studies. This study implies that we need to pay more attention to the concept of daytime population in demographic and sociological Studies.

  • 알타이라는 명칭은 어족의 이름, 알타이 산맥 일대에 거주하는 민족의 이름 그리고 알타이어족의 사람들과 그들이 거주하는 지역의 이름 등 여러 가지로 쓰이면서도, 그것이 의미있는 단위인가를 둘러싼 논란이 계속되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 알타이 어족의 분포 지역 전체를 포괄하는 주체가 형성되지 않았다는 데에 이러한 논란의 핵심적인 원인이 있다고 주장한다. 일각에서 주장하듯이, 알타이 문화권이라고 부를만한 문화적인 공통성과 역사적인 접촉이 있었을 수 있지만, 그것이 근대를 겪으면서 의미있는 단위인 민족으로 묶어지지 않았고 또 그러한 의식이 형성되지도 않았기에 문화적 유사성으로만 남게 된 것이다. 이는 한편으로 소비에트적인 근대화를 통한 종족 정체성의 재구성과 러시아, 중국 등 주변 강대국의 강력한 개입, 불교, 기독교등 외래 종교의 뒤늦은 전래 등의 요소가 복합적으로 작용한 결과이기도 하다. 그러나 알타이를 지역 연구의 단위로 설정하는 데 따르는 어려움은 이 지역에 특이한 현상만은 아니다. 이는 지역 설정이 물리적 환경에 따른 자연적인 경계 획정이 아니라, 문화정치적 관계에 따라 인위적으로 권력관계가 분배된 결과이기 때문이다. 따라서 알타이의 사례는 그 지역적 특수성에도 불구하고, 지역연구에서 지역을 균일한 "문화"를 지니는 것으로 미리 전제하는 것의 위험성을 알려주는 함축을 지닌다.
