The purpose of current study was to examine how the attitudes toward culture and the experiences of cultural exchanges could influence on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Convenience sampling was conducted for data collection; thus, total 407 health science college students of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University in K province were recruited and asked to complete the survey for this study. As a result, those who had the experiences of contacting immigrants, had the experiences of contacting immigrants via the school activities, and took the classes related with multi-culturalism showed high multi-cultural awareness. In addition, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed positive relationship with a multi-cultural awareness. At last, based on the regression analysis, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed significant influences on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Health science students could play important role in immigrants' physical and psychological health care in the future. Based on the findings of this study, we strongly suggest to provide proper education and various activities of multi-culturalism to those students. It would lead to a high quality of care and firm health care system for the immigrant population residing South Korea.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of the case of France, which has already implemented the social integration policy with the interest of the social integration of migrants in advance of Korea. First, we analyzed the system and system of social integration policy in France. Second, we analyzed the social integration policy promotion system in France, and examined the ministries and the agencies that direct the integration policies of the migrants. Third, the implications for the integration policy of Korean immigrants were derived through the above analysis. As a result, France was promoting a consistent social integration policy at the level of the central government, and all members of the society participated in the social integration program. It also encouraged participation in the program in conjunction with social integration programs. Based on this, we concluded that the social integration policy of our country should be modified somewhat. First, it is necessary to pursue the unity of policy by uniting the ministries that can manage migrant social integration policy in our country. Second, the main target of the social integration policy of our country should include not only immigrants who migrated from abroad but also Koreans. Third, Korea should encourage migrants to participate more in social integration programs and at the same time increase their participation rate by disadvantage of staying.

이 논문은 다문화 가정의 구성원인 결혼이주여성들이 사회통합을 하는데 필요한 교육정책에 관한 논의인데, 그 중에서 한국사회를 구성하는 기존 구성원들과의 정보리터러시 격차해소를 위한 교육정책에 주목하였다. 지금까지 다문화 가정의 결혼이주여성들을 대상으로 한 교육과정들은 대부분 언어격차의 해소를 위한 것이었다. 기본적으로 그들에게 의사소통을 위한 언어격차의 해소도 매우 중요하다. 그러나 정보화 사회에서 정보의 활용능력과 정보의 습득이 곧 여러 가지 삶의 질이나 다양한 기회의 획득에 중요하게 작용하므로 결혼이주여성들이 빠른 사회통합을 할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 언어교육뿐만 아니라 정보리터러시 격차해소를 위한 교육정책이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 결혼이주여성들의 정보격차 해소를 위한 정보교육의 현황을 일부지역을 중심으로 파악하였다. 그리고 정보리터러시 기준에 기초하여 정보교육의 커리큘럼 개발을 위한 구성요소 및 세부항목을 추출하여 정보교육 커리큘럼 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고 정보교육의 활성화 방안에 대해 제언하였다.

This study examines whether citizen's satisfaction with police response to their victimization has an effect on the trust in the police. The data (N = 214) were collected from the North Koreans refugees residing in South Korea. One key finding shows that the North Koreans who were dissatisfied with policemen's response to their crime victimization cases report lower trust in the South Korean police. Also, the people who had ever reported a crime to the police increase their trust in the police. However, sex, education experience, car ownership, household victimization preventive measures, crime trends decrease their trust in the police. The implications and limitations were discussed for the future research.

This study aims to examine heterogeneous acculturation patterns of elite North Korean female defectors in South Korea. The study employed a synthetic comparative analysis. A series of in-depth interviews with 5 North Korean female defectors in South Korea were conducted. In addition, the research team implemented 20 open-ended surveys with other defectors. Through this study, we have found various types of cultural adaptation in the group of the elite North Korean women in South Korea. The study findings imply that it is imperative to establish national policies that support different types of North Korean defectors. Putting all North Koreans into one category might result in alienation and discrimination to some groups. Thus how the participants reframed their social identify in South Korea illuminates essential facets of human-right education, especially education for refugees and immigrants in different global and multi-cultural contexts.

This study analyzes the social integration policy of migrants in Australia and draws implications for Korea. To do this, we first analyzed the literature on the social integration of immigrants in Australia and the Ministry of Justice report. Based on this, I have found out the policy implications for the Korean government on the social integration policy of the Australian government. First, the Australian government's social integration program emphasizes participation in social integration programs for humanitarian migrants, who need more help than other migrants. In Korea, the humanitarian integration program for migrants is very poor. Therefore, it is necessary to raise interest in active social integration of migrants through interest and consideration of humanitarian migrants like the Australian government. Second, the Australian government's social integration policies and programs are mainly established by the Australian Immigration Border Protection Department and the Social Welfare Department, but the implementation of the program is mainly conducted by local governments and emphasizes their role. In our case, we should give more authority to the local government's social integration policy and make them operate various programs according to local characteristics.
