Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a satisfaction evaluation survey tool that reflects the characteristics of the program for housing welfare supported in long-term public rental housing in Seoul. Research design, data and methodology: The main research methods of the study were review of previous studies, literature review, and expert consultation. Results: First, the characteristics of each housing welfare program being promoted by Seoul City were summarized, and the characteristics were reflected in the evaluation survey tool. Second, the SERVOUAL model, a service quality model, was used to measure satisfaction with the housing welfare program and modified to suit the characteristics of the program. Third, an evaluation survey tool was constructed by dividing the evaluation tool into common questions and individual questions, and for the operation and sustainability of the housing welfare program, rather than just evaluating satisfaction, program loyalty was used as a survey item. Fourth, through expert advice, more than 10 evaluation questions for each housing welfare program were revised. Conclusions: The results of future research are expected to be used to prepare practical operation plans through annual monitoring of housing welfare programs and comparative analysis between programs.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to develop a Korean version of an ICF e-Learning tool (KICF e-Learning tool). Methods: The process of translation and adaptation of the ICF e-Learning tool was followed: two translators developed the Korean versions independently, and a consensus version of the translation was then produced. An expert committee, which was composed of five experts from physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and social welfare, reviewed the consensus Korean version to make a beta version of the tool. A field test was conducted to determine if the Korean version of the tool was easy to understand and suitable to use in ICF learning. Feedback from the field test were used for the final adaptation of the KICF e-Learning tool. Results: One-hundred and twenty-six volunteers (40 males and 76 females) were invited to examine the KICF e-Learning tool. The participants reported various levels of ICF knowledge from none to very good. Forty-eight participants reported no knowledge of ICF. The majority of participants (n=84) reported that Korean terms or expression in the tool were easy to understand and one-hundred fourteen participants would recommend the tool to another person. The Korean cases would be helpful for a Korean audience to study the ICF using the tool. Conclusion: The KICF e-Learning tool was developed and is ready for use by the public for the consistency of ICF education. On the other hand, development of an advanced module will be needed.

In general, every welfare state is to be productive. If not, the welfare state itself cannot be sustainable because resource for the development of welfare only comes from a sound level of economic development However, how to mix welfare and production differs from country to country. This article tackles this phenomenon as a starting point. Granted, contemporary studies of comparative welfare state often starts from the theory of welfare regime which has been suggested by Esping-Andersen. This article also regards the framework as an analytic tool to elaborate upon the concept of productive welfare and to categorize different types of conception of productive welfare. In liberal regime, the concept is so narrowly interpreted that they emphasize micro-efficiency of specific welfare programs. On the contrary, the other two regime types recognize the concept of productive welfare as relatively wide. Therefore, conservative and social democratic regimes underscore macro-efficiency of the welfare state as a whole. Empirical analyses of this article explores each regime's success and failure in terms of achieving fundamental goals of the welfare state, i.e. economic development and enhancement of equality. A series of evidence show that liberal regime fails in achieving both goals, while the other two regimes seem to be relatively successful. In conclusion, it may be pointed out that current tendency of neo-liberalism and anti-welfarism in Korea should be overcome, which must be the prime task of social welfare academia of this country.

Asymmetric regulation as applied to mobile termination rates refers to regulatory arrangements in which different mobile operators charge different termination rates, even though the services provided are essentially identical. The asymmetric regulation has been frequently used as a regulatory tool to support new entrants to a mobile market. This paper examines the economic effects of asymmetric regulation of mobile termination rates using a theoretical model and its simulation. The result shows that when there is no noticeable difference in brand loyalty between mobile operators with the high degree of substitutability between services provided by mobile operators, and the costs of new entrants are low, a reduction in the asymmetry of mobile access prices results in an enhancement of consumer welfare. These findings provide positive evidence for the argument that in certain situations asymmetric pricing of mobile access services may be counterproductive for consumer welfare.

본 연구의 목적은 마셜의 사회권 개념을 역동적으로 해석하여 현실 복지국가에서 작동하는 사회권의 성격 및 발달 정도 등을 구체적으로 조망할 수 있는 분석 틀을 탐색적으로 모색하는 것이다. 최근 들어 마셜의 시민권 개념이 주목을 받음에 따라 한국에서도 그와 관련된 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있으나 사회권을 포함하여 마셜의 시민권을 논의하고 있는 대부분의 기존 연구들은 주로 개념의 내용과 근거 그리고 권리의 정당성을 명확히 하는 연구에 주목하다 보니 개념의 구체화 및 활용에 대해서는 상대적으로 소홀한 편이었다. 이에 본 연구는 마셜의 사회권이 가진 발생학적 역동성에 주목하여 사회권의 발생이 민주주의, 자본주의, 복지주의라는 현대 자본주의의 복합적 발전 속에서 탄생한 역사적 개념임을 논증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 마셜이 시민권의 성격을 논의하며 제시한 복합사회 개념에 주목하고 이 개념이 현대 민주복지국가의 성격을 논의하는 정치철학적 개념과 정합성을 가지고 있음을 보인다. 이러한 논의에 기초하여 본 논문은 마셜의 사회권이 가진 복합성과 역동성은 시장과 국가와의 관계, 개인과 공동체의 관계라는 정치철학적 쟁점을 통해 유형화가 가능하며 이러한 정치철학에 근거한 유형화는 에스핑-앤더슨에 의해 제시된 복지국가 레짐 개념을 통해 현실분석의 도구로 전화될 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

본 연구는 한국인 대부분이 공유하고 있는 전통적 가치관이라고 알려진 가족주의 가치관이 한국인으로 하여금 복지제도와 복지정책에 대한 인식을 갖게 하는데 어떤 관련이 있는가에 대한 연구이다. 가족간의 결속력이 유난히 강하고 가족중심적인 사고가 모든 사회관계에서도 지배적으로 자리잡고 있는 한국사회에서의 가족주의 가치관은 다른 가치관이나 이념 및 의식을 구축하는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 특히 가족이 그 구성원을 돌보고 양육, 부양하는 것을 당연한 의무와 책임으로 여기고 있는 가족주의적 사고가 복지의식을 형성하고 구체화하며, 복지국가 형태의 수준을 갖게 하는데 제한을 가한다는 비판의 소리가 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국인의 복지의식을 전통적 가족주의 가치관과의 관련성 속에서 재조명해보고 그 특성을 파악하고자 하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 분석을 위하여 서울지역의 기혼 여성과 남성을 체계적 층화표집과 할당표집으로 표본추출하였으며, 총 1,131명이 분석대상이 되었다. 분석결과 한국인의 복지의식은 가족주의 가치관과 많은 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 복지제도에 관한 인식에서 가족주의 가치관은 부적 관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 집단에서 복지제도 인식이 높게 나타난 것이다. 복지책임주체에 관해서는 가난한 사람과 노인영역에서는 가족주의 가치관이 높은 경우 가족책임 성향도 높게, 그리고 장애인과 실업자의 경우에는 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 경우 정부책임 성향을 높게 지적하였다. 그러나 복지정책 욕구에서만은 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 경우 정부책임 성향을 높게 지적하였다. 그러나 복지정책 욕구에서만은 가족주의 가치관의 관련성이 뚜렷이 나타나지 않았다. 가족주의가 높은 집단에서조차 복지정책 욕구가 크게 보여졌다. 이 같은 결과는 가족주의 가치관이 한국인들의 복지의식에 영향을 주는 개념으로 자리잡고 있다는 결론을 내리게 하며, 그럼에도 불구하고 이 전통적 사고가 국가의 복지제공 의무를 회피하는 수단으로서가 아니라 오히려 가족의 기능을 긍정적으로 강화하는 기제로 활용되어야 하는 정책적 함의를 제공한다. 이는 한국인에 맞는 복지모형의 개발을 시사한다.
