자치시대에 지방의 기록관리는 지역의 고유한 특성을 반영하여 독립적으로 추진할 필요가 있다. 그러나 아직 제대로 된 지방영구기록물관리기관이 한 곳도 설립되어 있지 않은 상황에서 다각적이고 적극적인 해결책을 모색할 필요가 있는데 지방기록관리의 방향을 '시설' 중심에서 '기록'과 '전문적 관리(사람)' 중심으로 바꾸는 것이 하나의 대안이다. 특히 중앙의 기록관리 프로세스라는 보편성에 매몰되었던 개별 지역의 다양성과 역동성을 찾기 위해서는 새로운 지역 기록화 전략을 적극 탐구할 필요가 있다. 도큐멘테이션 전략은 특정 지역, 주제, 사건 등에 관한 적절한 정보를 기록 생산자, 보존 기록관, 기록 이용자의 상호 협력을 통해 선별하여 수집하는 방법론으로서 80년대에 미국을 중심으로 제안되고 다양한 분야에서 다양한 방식으로 실험되어온바 있다. 이 연구에서는 도큐멘테이션 전략이 지역 기록화를 위한 방법론으로 어떤 의미를 갖는지 살펴보고 우리의 지역 환경에 적용하기 위해서 고려해야할 점과 추진 방향을 모색해보고자 하였다. 서구에서 개발된 도큐멘테이션 전략이 현 상황에서 우리에게 주는 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아카이브즈 및 아키비스트의 능동적 역할을 추구하며 특히 지역사회에서 기록전문직의 가치를 인식시키는 데에 기여할 수 있다. 이 전략은 지방기록관리기관들은 행정사를 넘어서 지역사를 포괄적으로 기록화 하는 주체가 될 것을 촉구한다. 이에 따라 지방의 기록전문직들은 공공기록을 수동적으로 이관 받는 데에서 그치는 것이 아니라 능동적으로 지역의 기록을 수집하고 이를 서비스하기 위해 노력해야 한다. 둘째, 지역 내 기록 수집기관들의 협력을 통해 단일 조직의 기능 재현에서 폭넓은 사회적 재현을 성취할 수 있다는 점이다. 서구에서 이러한 협력 모델은 과도한 업무 부담으로 실패한 경우가 많았지만 디지털 환경은 새로운 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 지역 내에 존재하는 다양한 기록 생산 및 소장기관들과 협력을 통해 지역의 지식역량은 물론 지역정보서비스의 수준을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 셋째, 도큐멘테이션 전략은 다양한 집단들과의 연대를 추구한다. 이 전략은 도큐멘테이션 주제와 관련된 집단이나 공동체로부터 열정과 에너지, 전문지식을 가져올 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 도큐멘테이션 전략은 기억을 남기고자 하는 주체들이 실천적 기록문화운동을 추진하는 하나의 방법론을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구에서는 우리의 지역 현실에 적합한 기록화 방향을 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 첫째, 선택적이고 집중적인 기록화를 지향한다. 지역에 관한 모든 영역에 관한 포괄적 기록화를 추진하기 보다는 지역의 로컬리티를 가장 잘 반영하는 영역과 대상을 선정하여 기록화를 추진한다. 지역을 구성하는 다양한 요소들인 사람, 사회 문화, 조직과 제도, 건조(建造) 환경, 공간 등이 상호작용하면서 만들어지고 변화하는 실체인 로컬리티를 규명하기 위해서는 전문가 집단과 지역민의 의견을 반영하는 구조가 필요하다. 둘째, 분산 보존과 통합적 재현을 지향한다. 기록화 주관기관은 다양한 기록 소장기관들과 소장자들을 연결하는 협력체계를 구축하여 분산 소장된 기록들을 통합적으로 검색할 수 있도록 한다. 즉, 한 지역의 역사 기록을 집중 보존할 기관을 정하기보다는 연계를 통한 기록화를 추진하는 것이 현실적일 것이다. 이를 위한 도구로서 지역 게이트웨이 구축을 제안하였다. 셋째, 열린 구조의 디지털 기록화를 지향한다. 지역 기록화는 맥락 재구성을 바탕으로 기록을 수집하는 방법론을 적용하게 되므로 선별된 기록에는 이미 수집자나 맥락 해석자의 의도가 반영되어 있다. 특히 맥락 분석에 의거하여 스토리를 구성하고 이에 따라 기록을 수집하거나 연계할 경우, 자의적이고 주관적인 선별이라는 비판을 받기 쉽다. 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위해 기록 맥락의 해석과 기록화 영역의 선정 등의 과정에 지역 내 다양한 집단의 의견이 반영될 수 있도록 해야 할 것이며, 디지털 네트워크를 통해 여러 집단 및 개인의 참여가 쉽게 이루어질 수 있도록 보장해야 한다. 넷째, 지역 내 협력기관들의 영역별 기록화 수준을 정한다. 기록화에 참여하는 기관들이 디지털 기록화에 맞는 역할을 분담 받아야 하고, 각 기관은 협력적 기록화에 참여함으로써 자관 이용자들에게는 더 나은 포괄적인 기록 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 도서관의 디지털 장서개발에 활용하는 컨스펙터스 모형을 응용하여 디지털 기록화 방법론을 새롭게 설계할 것을 제안하였다.

I. Introduction Since the 1970's drug abuse among young people has increasingly become a social problem in Korea. In the 1980's, drug abuse, especially glue sniffing, has become the cause of many unfortunated incidents resulting in harm to others as well as the abusers themselves. Taking into consideration of the seriousness of this problem, the Republic of Korea National Red Cross initiated a nation-wide research programme, to understand the present situation and to raise the level of public awareness. The goal of this research was to begin a nation - wide campaign against drug abuse. The research team was composed of the Advisary Committee members and the staff of the Youth Department of the Republic of Korea National Red Cross. The data were collected in February 1988 with the collaboration of the staff and volunteers in the local Chapters. The respondents were allocated nation-wide by the quota sampling method. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in three groups :2, 700 to junior and senior high school students, 605 to working youths, and 916 to delinquent youths. A total of 4, 221 questionnaires were collected. II. Characteristics of the Respondents The respondents in each group were selected evenly from rural and urban areas. The general characteristics of the respondents can be described as follow: in case of students, the proportions between male and female respondents, and between senior high school and junior high school students were almost evenly distributed. In case of working youths, the proportion of females (80.5%) was higher than those of the students and the delinquents groups. Delinquent youths were defined as those currently being under custody of the centers for juvenile delinquents. Of this number, 38.8% and 68.2% were junior and senior high school drop-outs respectively. The majority of them (92.6%) were male. As for the family background of the respondents, the proportion of those residing in poverty - stricken areas, and the proportion of those from broken families were higher in case of working youths and delinquent youths than those in case of students. III. Present Patterns of Drug Abuse The following summarizes the presents of drug abuse, as tabulated from the results of the survey. 1. Smoking The percentage of youths who smoke was 36% in the student group, 32% m the working youths group, and 94.4% in the delinquent youths group. 2. Alcohol 50.3% of students, 71.6% of working youths, and 93.3% of delinquent youths has experienced drinking alcohol beverages. 3. Tonic: non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages popular in Korea and Japan The percentage of those who have used tonic at least once was over 90% in all of the three groups. 4. Sedative About 70% of each group has used sedative with the proportion of working youths use higher than those in other groups. 5. Stimulants Those who have used stimulants comprised around 15% in each group. 6. Tranquilizers Somewhat less than 5% of students and working youths, and 28% of delinquent youths, have used tranquilizers. 7. Hypnotics The users of hypnotics amounted to 0.4% of students, 2.6% of working youths and 7.1% of delinquent youths. 8. Marihuana Those who have used marihuana indicated 0.7% of students, 0.8% of working youths, and 13% of delinquent youths. 9. Glue-sniffing The percentage of glue-sniffing was 3.7%, 5% in the students group and in the youths group respectively, but the proportion was unusually high, at 40.7% in the delinquent youths group. From the results of the survey the present situation of drug abuse in Korea can be summarized as follows: 1. A high percentage of Korean youths have experienced smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages. 2. Tonics (non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages), antipyretic analgesics and stimulants quite regularly used. 3. Tranquilizers, hypnotics, marihuana and glue-sniffing are more widely used among delinquent youths than the other youths. From this fact, there exists a correlation between drug abuse and juvenile delinquency. IV. Time-series Analysis of the First Experience of Drug Abuse and Deviant Behaviour The respoundents were asked when they were first exposed to drugs and when they committed deviant acts. By calculating the average age of each experience, the following pattern was found (See Figure 1). Youths are first exposed to drugs by abuse of tonic(non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages). At the age of 13, they amoke cigarettes, the use of antipyretic analgesics begins at 14 year old, while at the age of 15, they use tranquilizers, and at 16 hynotics. The period of drug abuse which starts from drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking cigarettes and ends in the use of hypnotics takes about three years. During this period, other delinquent behaviours begin to surface, that is, at the age of 13 when smoking cigarettes begins, the delinquent behaviour pattern starts with truancy. Next, they start taking money from others by using physical force. Prior to the age of 15, they are suspended from school, become hostile to adults, begin running away from home, and start using stimulants and alcohol. Soon they become involved even in glue-sniffing and in the use of marihuana. At the age of 15, they begin to see adult videos and carry weapons. Sexual promiscuity and usage of tranquilizers follows the viewing of adult videos. Consequently, by the time they reach the age of 16, they visit drinking establishments, and are picked up by police for committing delinquent acts. And finally, they come to use hypnotic - type drugs. From the above descriptions, drug abuse can be assumed to have a close correlation with delinquent behaviour. V. Social Factors Related to Drug Abuse As for the Korean youths, glue-sniffing is found to he related to aggressive delinquency, in such cases as run - aways, being picked up by the police, and taking money by force. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is found to be related to seeing adult videos and visiting drinking establishments. Hypnotics and marihuana were found to be representive of drugs which are related to degenerational delinquency, irrespective of social delinquency. The social factors connected with these drug abuse are as follows: 1. Individual factors Male students were more heavily involved in the usage of drug than females. Youths who do not attend church were more likely to be involved in drugs than those who attend. 2. Family factors The youths who were displeased with their mothers smoking and those who thought their parents did not love each other, or those whose parents had used drugs without prescription, were more likely to he drug users. 3. School factors Those youths who found school life boring, were unsuccessful in their studies, spend most of their time with friends, feel their teachers smoke too much, those who had a positive perception of their teachers smoking were likely to he drug users. To sum up, drug abusers depend on the influence of their parents, teachers and peers. IV. Reasons for Drug Abuse Korean students have mainly used drugs to release stress (42.8%), to stay awake (19.7%), and because of the easy accessibility of drugs( 16.6%). Other reasons are due to their ignorance of the side effects of the drugs (3.6%), natural curiosity (4.2%), and to increase strength(3.O%). From the above facts, the major reasons for drug abuse among Korean youths are to release stress and to stay awake in order to prepare exams. Furthermore, since drugs are readily available, we can conclude that drug abuse is caused by the school system(such as entrance exams) in Korea. VII. Conclusion Drug usage among Korean youths are relatively less common than those of western youths. In some cases, such as, glue-sniffing and use of stimulants, the pattern of drug abuse is found. Moreover, early drug abuse is evident, and it has a close connection with deviant behaviour, resulting in juvenile delinquency. Drug abuse cannot be attributed to any one social factor. Specifically, drug abuse depends on parents, peers, teachers and other members of the community, and also is influenced by social institutions such as the entrance exam system. Every person and organization concerned with youth must participate collectively in restraining drug abuse. Finally, it is suggested that social agencial working for youth welfare should make every effort to tackle this serious problem confronted by the Korean youths today.
