본 연구는 시카고 시와 교외지역에 거주하는 한인이주민 중 65세 이상의 연장자들을 대상으로 그들의 우울증상과 문화동화 수준, 건강상태, 사회경제적 상태의 관계를 그들이 인식하는 존경의 매개역할 또는 조절역할을 통해 살펴보고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구의 목적을 위해 4개의 포커스 그룹과 2개의 심층 인터뷰를 실시하였다. ATLAS. ti.로 분석된 연구 결과는 문화동화 수준은 우울증상에 영향을 미치며 우울 증상은 또한 희망과 상호간의 대화를 통해 영향을 받는 것을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구 결과들은 서비스 제공자들에게 65세 이상의 한인 연장자들의 자기 결정권에 대해 충분한 의사소통과 그들에 대한 존경심을 고려할 필요가 있고, 그것은 그들이 새로운 환경에 적응할 때 다양하게 표면화되는 우울한 감정들에 대한 적절한 대처를 유도하는 매우 중요한 요소임을 보여주었다.

다문화 사회가 도래하면서 많은 국가들은 예전에 구축된 국가(국민) 정체성과 사회구성 원리에 대한 근본적인 수정 혹은 재검토를 고려해야 하는 시점에 이르렀다. 이 시점은 종종 전통의 고수 vs. 다문화주의 도입 사이의 갈등적 상황과 논쟁을 촉발한다. 이 글에서는 프랑스와 브라질의 사례를 통해 이 두 나라가 다문화 시대의 여러 도전(인종주의, 인종차별, 이주민 통합과 공존)에 직면하여 각각의 고유한 사회통합모델의 유지, 폐기, 혹은 근본적 수정을 둘러싼 논쟁적 측면을 고찰해 본다. 특히 양국에서 거의 동시에 일어난 인종 종족 통계 논쟁을 중심으로 다문화주의적 대안모델의 채택(브라질) 혹은 거부 및 유보(프랑스)의 사례를 비교하고 그 정치적 의미를 찾는다.

오늘 날 한국사회는 세계화와 함께 빠른 이주민의 증가를 경험하고 있다. 특히, 급격히 증가하는 국제결혼과 다문화가족의 확대는 한국사회 내 이주민의 사회 적응과 통합 문제를 제기하게 되었다. 이에 본 연구는 이주민의 사회통합과 정보서비스 및 기술교육 서비스와의 관계에 주목하였다. 결혼이주여성에 대한 서베이조사를 활용하여 이들의 삶의 만족과 고용형태에 정보서비스 및 기술교육이 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 다항 및 로짓 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 사회서비스를 사용한 경험은 삶의 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 보이고 있다. 즉 정보서비스 및 기술교육의 경험은 결혼이주여성의 고용기회를 확대하였으며 그들의 창업 혹은 취업의지를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 한국사회 결혼이주여성의 사회통합을 위해 정보서비스, 기술교육프로그램 및 기술교육서비스의 제공이 중요한 역할을 수행함을 보여준다.

본 연구는 지속적으로 구조적 변화를 겪으며 증가하고 있는 외국인의 인구와 주택 소비의 변화가 본국과 이주국의 주택 시장 양쪽 모두에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 밝히는 것에 목적을 둔다. 서울의 조선족 주택 시장의 형성 원인과 변화는 임대료 시장에 있어서 내국인 주택 시장과는 다른 '임대료의 고정 효과'로 인하여 외국인의 유입이 지속적으로 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 순환 이주 의향이 강한 조선족 집단에 의해 분화된 주택 시장의 밀집은 더욱 심화된 형태로 변화하고 있다. 한편 한국에서 이주 경험이 있는 조선족들이 주요 주택 소비자로 부상하면서, 연길시의 부동산 붐을 일으켰다. 조선족의 주택 투자는 연변 대학을 기준으로 '서부'에 집중되어 있는데, 연길시의 주택 공급에 영향을 미치는 도시 기본 계획과 밀접한 연관 관계를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 이주자의 초국가적 주택 소비로 인하여, 본국과 이주국의 주택 시장을 연결함으로써 두 주택 시장에서 발생하는 여과과정을 동시에 일으켜, '초국가적 주택 여과 과정(Transnational housing filtering process)'이 발생하게 되는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study aims to provide base data for designing education and counseling programs for child-raising by identifying the types, characteristics and predictors of parenting behaviors of married immigrant women. Methods: We used a self-report questionnaire to survey 126 immigrant mothers of young children, who agreed to participate, and who could speak Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, or English, at two children's hospitals and two multicultural support centers. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis, K-means clustering, ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, one-way ANOVA, $Sch{\acute{e}}ffe^{\prime}s$ test, and multinominal logistic regression. Results: We identified three clusters of parenting behaviors: 'affectionate acceptance group' (38.9%), 'active engaging group' (26.2%), and 'passive parenting group' (34.9%). Passive parenting and affectionate acceptance groups were distinguished by the conversation time between couples (p=.028, OR=5.52), ideology of motherhood (p=.032, OR=4.33), and parenting stress between parent and child (p=.049, OR=0.22). Passive parenting was distinguished from active engaging group by support from spouses for participating in multicultural support centers or relevant programs (p=.011, OR=2.37), and ideology of motherhood (p=.001, OR=16.65). Ideology of motherhood was also the distinguishing factor between affectionate acceptance and active engaging groups (p=.041, OR=3.85). Conclusion: Since immigrant women's parenting type depends on their ideology of motherhood, parenting stress, and spousal relationships in terms of communication and support to help their child-raising and socio-cultural adaptation, it is necessary to provide them with systematic education and support, as well as interventions across personal, family, and community levels.

Purpose: This study compared maternal age at childbirth, the number of live births, and the weight of live births between Korean women and immigrant women using statistical data from the Republic of Korea for the period of 2008-2018. Methods: The analysis was conducted using data from the Microdata Integrated Service of Statistics Korea (https://mdis.kostat.go.kr/index.do). Results: Korean women and immigrant women showed a higher age at childbirth in 2018 than in 2008. The percentage of newborns of Korean women with a birth weight of less than 2.5 kg increased slightly for 3 consecutive years from 2016 to 2018, whereas for immigrant women, this percentage increased in 2017 compared to 2016 and then decreased again in 2018. Very low birth weight (less than 1.5 kg) became more common among immigrant women from 2016 to 2018. Birth at a gestational age of fewer than 37 weeks increased both among Korean and immigrant women from 2016 to 2018. In both groups, the percentage of women who had their first child within their first 2 years of marriage decreased from 2008 to 2018. Conclusion: Immigrant women had higher birth rates than Korean women, while both groups showed an increasing trend in preterm birth. Greater attention should be paid to the pregnancy and birth needs of immigrant women, and steps are needed to ensure health equity and access in order to prevent preterm births. It is also necessary to identify factors that affect preterm birth and birth of very low birth weight infants among immigrant women in the future.

Recently there was an incident that military radars, coastal CCTVs and other surveillance equipment captured a small rubber boat smuggling a group of illegal immigrants into South Korea, but guards on duty failed to notice it until after they reached the shore and fled. After that, the detection of such vessels before it reach to the Korean shore has emerged as an important issue to be solved. In the fields of marine navigation, Automatic Identification System (AIS) is widely equipped in vessels, and the vessels incessantly transmits its position information. In this paper, we propose a method of automatically identifying abnormally behaving vessels with AIS using convolutional autoencoder (CAE). Vessel anomaly detection can be referred to as the process of detecting its trajectory that significantly deviated from the majority of the trajectories. In this method, the normal vessel trajectory is gridded as an image, and CAE are trained with images from historical normal vessel trajectories to reconstruct the input image. Features of normal trajectories are captured into weights in CAE. As a result, images of the trajectories of abnormal behaving vessels are poorly reconstructed and end up with large reconstruction errors. We show how correctly the model detects simulated abnormal trajectories shifted a few pixel from normal trajectories. Since the proposed model identifies abnormally behaving ships using actual AIS data, it is expected to contribute to the strengthening of security level when it is applied to various maritime surveillance systems.

Purposes: The problem in the recent immigration policy and social policy changes for foreigners is that the preliminary analysis or research on the actual impact of the influx of foreigners has not been done enough in Korea yet.. This study is to examine the impact of the Korean health insurance finances on the influx of foreigners. Approach: This study analyzed the health insurance statistics for foreigners and overseas Koreans of the Health Insurance Corporation from 2013 to 2017. The data is the "Status of Health Insurance Premiums for Nationals, Foreigners, and Overseas Koreans from 2013 to 2017" submitted by the National Health Insurance Service to the Health and Welfare Committee during the 2018 National Audit Period. Findings: To summarize the analysis, first, the proportion of foreigners was only 1% of all subscribers (1.7% at work, 1.9% in regions) until 2017. Second, employees at work have a lower pay-to-pay ratio, and local subscribers have a higher pay-to-pay rate, regardless of nationality. Third, as immigrants are mostly concentrated in younger ages, they are healthy and use of hospitals is relatively low. Fourth, in terms of gender distribution, there are many women of childbearing age due to marriage immigration among foreign local subscribers, and more men use hospitals than workers who have a high proportion of males due to childbirth. In conclusion, the impact of immigration on health insurance finances is not large, and has a positive effect on finances. Practical Implications: If we simply consider the financial aspect, encouraging foreigners to subscribe to health insurance has a positive effect on finances. In particular, the more foreign workers are enrolled, the greater the financial gain. In particular, increasing the employment of foreign women through language education, vocational training, and employment support will help finance health insurance. One of the reasons foreign subscribers have a positive impact on health insurance finance is the low medical utilization rate. It can be said that young and healthy foreigners use fewer hospitals and clinics, but another aspect means that foreigners have difficulty using health insurance for various reasons. Therefore, various supports must be accompanied so that foreign subscribers can use medical services when necessary.

Purpose: This study analyzed the dietary patterns of Central Asian immigrant workers (Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan) living in South Korea to determine the food acculturation and how their dietary practices have changed after immigration. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 186 Central Asian immigrant workers living in South Korea. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to obtain information on the consumption frequency of 22 food items before and after their immigration to Korea. Results: Central Asians switched to Korean meat consumption patterns, which consume mainly pork, chicken, and beef, showing a decrease in the intake of beef and lamb and an increase in that of pork. Their consumption of Namul (cooked vegetable), Kimchi, rice, and marine products increased while that of potatoes decreased during acculturation to Korean food culture. Positive changes were observed in Mongolians' eating habits. Their meat-based diet turned into a healthy one in which nutritional balance was achieved by consuming the various food groups. Negative dietary changes were also observed; intake of instant foods and coffee increased while black and green tea consumption decreased. Intake of Namul (p < 0.01), Kimchi (p < 0.01), rice (p < 0.001), ramen (p < 0.001), pork, chicken (p < 0.01), fish (p < 0.01), seafood (p < 0.001), and coffee (p < 0.001) increased significantly in the group that responded and their health improved after moving to Korea. This result suggests that health improved among those who were well settled in Korea and ate the various food groups. Conclusion: These findings can help understand the acculturation process to Korean food culture and provide a basis for developing policies to help them adjust to Korean food culture.
