강주희,윤순덕 한국지역사회생활과학회 2007 한국지역사회생활과학회지 Vol.18 No.3

This study purposed to examine elderly welfare facilities by type, to analyze their local variations, and ultimately to contribute to the expansion of elderly welfare infrastructure. The results are expected to help inspect elderly welfare infrastructure for providing the aged with social services before the execution of 'the insurance for elderly longterm care' and establish welfare facilities by area in the future.For these purposes, we used the national data “The Current State of Elderly Welfare Facilities in 2007” produced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. We digitized elderly welfare facilities in 163 cities and counties by type and analyzed them by area. We also examined the differences in the local distribution of representative elderly welfare facilities such as elderly welfare centers, homebased facilities (home helper centers), asylums for the aged and elderly care facilities in 16 cities and provinces. Furthermore, we analyzed differences and problems in their local distribution urban areas, mixed areas of urban and rural communities, and rural areas. In addition, we studied the current state of institutionalized care and homebased care, which are two major directions of current elderly welfare policies, based on the local distribution of facilities and analyzed differences in the trends according to area. According to these results, the urban had more home based care facilities than the rural. However, the rural had more institutionalized care facilities than urban. Also, each local self-governing body showed unique characteristics. Therefore, these results suggest that we need to establish elderly welfare policies based on the distribution of facility types by area.

Yoonhwan PARK,Hyunchul LIM 한국유통과학회 2022 유통과학연구 Vol.20 No.3

Purpose: This study aims to not only measure the elderly welfare supply index but investigate spatial patterns and determinants of local elderly welfare services in South Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: The index for local elderly welfare services is measured by employing standardized scores for critical variables related to elderly welfare. The present study utilized the GIS technique and Moran’s I index to examine spatial patterns of elderly welfare services. The determinants of local elderly welfare service are analyzed by a series of regression models using R. Results: Spatial imbalance and asymmetric distribution were serious in the supply of elderly welfare service. It was also confirmed that the factors affecting the level of welfare services for the elderly vary depending on the type of service. In particular, the higher the proportion of the elderly population and the social welfare budget, the lower the level of welfare services for the elderly. Conclusions: Given the circumstance of spatial mismatch between supply and demand for elderly welfare services, it is necessary to consider and provide policy tactics about how the economic benefits and welfare budgets generated in the region can contribute to strengthening the welfare service system for the elderly.

It should be noted that the program of Sport of All for the elderly is an important mode in life only for the elderly, and those programs should be researched and developed in the view of the creation of a culture with scientific significance and reasonableness.

한국과 일본의 노인복지제도에 관한 비교 연구

박명숙 ( Myung Suk Park ),남영신 ( Young Shin Nam ) 아시아.유럽미래학회 2010 유라시아연구 Vol.7 No.1

노인복지란 노인의 생활 곤란으로 인한 경제생활의 안정, 심신의 건강유지, 사회적 참가와 역할수행, 취업기회 정책 및 제도와 복지 서비스를 통해서 노인이 하나의 독립된 인간으로서 기본적 욕구와 문화적 생활을 유지하도록 하는 사회적 활동이며, 사회복지 실천의 한 분야이다. 세계적으로 노인 인구의 빠른 증가 추세와 최근에는 더욱 노인인구의 고령화 현상이 심각한 양상을 보이고 있어 지구촌 모든 국가가 직면한 노인문제의 해결이 큰 과제로 대두되고 있다. 또한 의료기술의 발달로 평균 수명의 연장은 고령화 사회로 변화하는 과정이며, 이 과정에서의 노인층은 사회적 소외감과 경제적 어려움이라는 이중고를 겪게 된다. 이러한 문제들은 어려움의 주체인 노인 개인의 책임수준을 넘어 사회에서의 큰문제화가 되고 있다. 한국인의 평균수명도 의술의 발달, 의식주 등의 기본욕구 충족 등에 힘입어 빠른 속도로 연장되어 왔는데 1960년에서 2000년까지의 40년 간 OECD 회원국의 평균수명에 대한 변화를 살펴 본 결과, 대부분의 서방 선진국들의 경우에는 10년 이상 높아지지 않았다. 반면 한국의 평균수명은 23.1년이 높아져 같은 기간 내 평균수명 상승폭이 가장 높은 국가로 나타났다. 또한 2007년에는 평균수명이 79.4세로 OECD(경제개발협력기구) 회원국의 평균 수명 79.0세를 넘어섰다. 이처럼 한국의 인구 고령화는 그 내용이나 속도에 있어서 급속하게 진행되고 있으며 전문가들은 한국의 고령화 속도가 세계 신기록을 수립할 것으로 보고 있다. 이러한 현상에 대한 대응 방안으로 고령화를 일찍 경험한 선진외국들은 노인의 소득보장제도, 노인보건의료 서비스, 장기보호 문제 등의 노후생활에 필요한 복지 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 막대한 재정을 투입을 하고 있으며 특히 복지 선진국가중에서도 우리와 비슷한 정서를 지닌 동양 문화권에 속한 일본은 효율적인 고령화 정책을 수립하고 시행하고 있는 나라이다. 하지만 한국의 경우, 노인을 위한 소득보장제도는 수혜대상이나 급여수준이 제한적이라서 실질적인 도움을 주지 못하며 주택보장 정책에서도 저소득층의 주택유지능력에 관계없이 주택공급에만 치중을 하고 있어 노인들이 주거생활을 영위하는데 어려움을 겪고 있으며 전달체계가 연계되지 않으며 여러 노인시설이나 인력에 대한 관리의 미흡 등 체계화 되지 못한 부분이 산재되어 있다. 한국과 일본에 있어서 고령화의 특징은 다른 선진국과 비교할 수 없을 만큼 급속히 진행되고 있는데 두나라의 복지 정책을 살펴보면, 일본의 사회복지정책은 신자유주의(neo-liberalism)의 영향을 받아 지역의 책임, 수요자의 자기 선택권, 수익자 부담 원칙 등을 강조하고 있는 반면 한국의 경우에는 사회복지의 공공성(비영리성), 국가의 책임, 정부의 조치권이 강조되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 한국과 일본의 노인복지 제도를 비교함으로써 현재 한국의 노인복지 제도의 문제점을 파악하여 개선방향을 제시함으로서 향후 노년기의 행복한 삶으로 가는 길에 도움이 되고자 한다. 한국과 일본의 노인복지제도를 둘러싼 사회문화적 환경 특성에 대한 분석 및 각각의 제도가 갖는 장·단점에 대한 심층 분석 없는 단순한 비교에는 한계점을 갖는다. 그러나 한국의 노인복지제도보다 선두주자로 복지제도를 실시하였던 일본의 제도를 기초로 한 한국의 노인복지제도 발전을 위한 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라의 노인복지제도는 일본에 비하여 복지혜택의 수준이 낮고 대상도 한정된 감이 있으나 지속적인 노인복지제도 정착을 위한 시책이 다양한 방면에서 추진되고 있는 실정이며, 정부의 노인복지제도의 현실화를 위한 예산책정이 단계적으로 확보되어야 하겠다. 둘째, 사회복지 실천의 한 분야인 노인 복지제도를 이용하기위한 인정 신청자의 범위 확대가 시급하다. 한국의 경우 노인복지제도의 한 분야인 노인요양보험을 위한 인정신청자의 범위가 대상자 본인신청, 또는 가족 및 친척, 사회복지공무원, 시장.군수.구청장이 별도 지정하는 자로 되어 있다. 그러나 일본의 경우에는 성년후견인, 민생위원(한국 ``복지위원``)까지 포함하여 신청자의 범위가 한국에 비해 확대 시행하고 있다. 셋째, 노인의 자존감 향상 및 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 가정환경과 사회 환경을 위하여 자라나는 청소년의 부모 효도와 노인 공경에 대한 실천의 내용을 포함시켜 경로효친으로 우리나라의 아름다운 전통적 가치관이 유지될 수 있는 분위기조성도 복지향상에 큰 기여가 될 것이다. 넷째, 노인복지향상을 위한 다양한 정책개발이 지속적으로 이루어지도록 하여 노인의 생활 곤란으로 인한 경제생활의 안정, 심신의 건강유지, 사회적 참가를 통한 역할수행, 노인 일자리사업을 통한 취업기회가 주어지도록 해야 할 것이다. 이상과 같이 아직은 초기 단계에 놓인 한국의 노인복지제도가 일본의 노인복지제도와 비교하여 살펴보면 많은 부분에 대한 보완이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 한국의 노인복지제도가 단계적으로 확대 시행되어 현실에 맞는 효과적이고 광범위한 복지제도로 실시되기를 바란다. 또한 지속적인 노령인구의 증가에 따라 노인복지예산확보의 필요성도 절실할 것이며, 이에 필요한 정부의 대책 수립도 함께 수반되어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 제한점을 가진다. 첫째, 일본의 경우 한국보다 사회보장제도가 약 40년 전에 시작되었으며, 그동안 많은 변화가 있었기 때문에 한국과 일본의 사회보장제도를 직접 비교하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 둘째, 전통 문화적인 풍습이 다르고 오랜 역사의 제도적인 차이로 한국과 일본을 객관적으로 비교할 수 있는 기준이 없다. Elderly welfare is what is the social activity and one field of social-welfare practice that allows the elderly to maintain basic desire and cultural living as one independent person through the stability of economic life caused by the elderly``s difficulty in living, the maintenance of health in body and mind, the social participation and role performance, and the policy and system for opportunity of employment, and the welfare service. In addition to the global tendency of a swift rise in the elderly population, the aging phenomenon of the elderly population is recently showing more serious aspect. Thus, solution of elderly problem, which every nation faced in the global village, is being emerged as a big task. Also, the extension of the average longevity caused by development in medical technology is the process of a change into aging society. The elderly bracket in this process comes to suffer from the double torture called social alienation and economic difficulty. These problems are becoming a big issue in society beyond a level of responsibility in an individually old person, who is the main subject of difficulty. Even Korean people``s average longevity has lengthened rapidly by virtue of development in medical art and of satisfaction of a basic desire such as food, clothing and shelter. As a result of examining a change in average longevity of OECD member countries for 40 years from 1960 to 2000, most of the Western advanced countries haven``t been prolonged over 10 years. However, Korea was increased 23.1 years enough, and was a nation that is the highest in width of a rise in the average longevity during the same period. In this way, Korea``s populational aging is being progressed swiftly in its contents or speed. Experts are considering that Korea``s aging speed will establish the new world record. As a plan of coping with this phenomenon, the foreign advanced countries, which early experienced aging, are injecting huge finances in order to offer the elderly``s income security system, elderly``s health medical service, and welfare service necessary for the old life such as long-term protection problem. Japan, which belongs to the Oriental cultural area with similar emotion to us even among the advanced welfare countries, is a country that is enforcing by establishing the efficient aging policy. However, in case of Korea, the income security system for the elderly fails to give substantial help because of being restrictive in the beneficial subjects or allowance level. Even in the policy for housing security, the weight is being attached only to the housing supply regardless of the housing maintenance ability in low-income brackets. Thus, old people are suffering difficulty in managing residential life. A delivery system is not connected. Non-systematic parts are scattered such as insufficiency of managing the severally elderly facilities or manpower. The aging characteristic in Korea and Japan is being rapidly progressed enough to be unavailable for comparison with other advanced countries. Given examining welfare policy in two countries, Japan``s social welfare policy is emphasizing the regional responsibility, user``s self-option, and User Pays Principle due to being influenced by neo-liberalism. On the other hand, in case of Korea, it is the real situation of being stressed the publicity in social welfare(non-profitability), the nation``s responsibility, and the government``s powers. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to be conducive to a way of going to happy life in the senescence hereafter by grasping problems about Korea``s current elderly welfare system and suggesting improvement direction through comparing the elderly welfare system between Korea and Japan. There are limitation to the analysis on socially-culturally environmental characteristics of surrounding the elderly welfare system in Korea and Japan, and to the simple comparison without in-depth analysis on merits and demerits that each system has. However, the following are the suggestions for development in Korea``s elderly welfare system based on a system of Japan, which had carried out welfare system as a front-runner prior to Korea``s elderly welfare system. First, our country``s elderly welfare system has a sense of being low in welfare benefit and of being limited even subjects, compared to Japan. However, a policy for continuous settlement of elderly welfare system is in the real situation of being driven in diverse directions. The government``s arrangement of budget for realization of elderly welfare system needs to be secured step by step. Second, the expansion in range of applicants with recognition is imminent for using elderly welfare system, which is one field of social-welfare practice. In case of Korea, the range of a recognized applicant for Elderly Recuperation Insurance, which is one field of elderly welfare system, is set for the subject``s own application, or family and relative, social-welfare public servant, and a person designated separately by mayor, county governor, or ward chief. However, in case of Japan, the range of applicant is being expanded and enforced by including even guardian for adult and committee member for people``s livelihood(‘welfare committee member’ in Korea), compared to Korea. Third, even the formation of atmosphere that our country``s beautiful traditional value can be maintained by the respect for the aged and the devotion to parents will greatly contribute to enhancement in welfare, by including the contents of practice on devotion to parents and respect for the aged in the growing adolescents, aiming at family environment and social environment that can improve the elderly``s self-esteem and enhance quality of life. Fourth, diverse policies for enhancing elderly welfare need to be continuously developed. Thus, there will be necessity for making it available for the stability in economic life caused by the elderly``s difficulty in living, the maintenance of health in body and mind, the performance of a role through social participation, and the offer of an employment opportunity through Elderly Employment Promotion Project. As the above, given examining by comparing Korea``s elderly welfare system, which is in the initial phase yet, and Japan``s elderly welfare system, the supplementation can be said to be necessary for many parts. Korea``s elderly welfare system is desired to be carried our as the effective and extensive welfare system in line with the reality by being expanded and enforced step by step. Also, according to a constant rise in the elderly population, even the necessity for securing welfare budgets for the elderly will be desperate. The establishment of a governmental measure necessary for this will need to be also accompanied. This study has the following limitations. First, Japan was begun the social security system about 40 years earlier than Korea. There have been many changes in the meantime, thereby being followed difficulty in directly comparing social security system between Korea and Japan. Second, there is no standard available for objectively comparing Korea and Japan owing to difference in traditionally cultural customs and to institutional difference in long history.

대만(臺灣) 노인복지정책의 현황과 과제

임춘식 ( Choon Seek Rim ) 한국민족연구원 2012 민족연구 Vol.0 No.51

Taiwan has created the Taiwanese-styled elderly welfare service model with a joint effort in the government and people aiming at expansion in social security·expansion in a support for public assistance·establishment in welfare-service delivery system, and development in the balanced community. Given seeing the characteristics in the elderly welfare even among those things, the Taiwanese-styled elderly welfare policy service system can be understood to proceed with being established by driving the preponderant projects in the government`s consistent pursuit for the elderly welfare policy of the social development and subbase construction·productive welfare·mental morals·the increased amount in the elderly-welfare budget·expansion in the beneficiaries of elderly welfare service·qualitative enhancement in elderly welfare service. Taiwan`s elderly welfare service policy system started from public assistance for senior citizens whose livelihood is poor, and proceeds with being developed into the elderly welfare system for the whole elderly. In addition, there is characteristic that several projects for the elderly welfare are being driven in a joint effort of the government and the private.

고령사회 주거복지정책의 법적 쟁점과 개선 방안- 국민연금기금의 활용 방안을 중심으로 -

As of the end of August, 2017, Korea entered an aging society, and it is expected to become a super aging society with unprecedented speed in the world. The problems of aging that Korea will face includes job problem, poverty problem and housing welfare problem. Our future depends on how we prepare now. Therefore, this study focused on elderly housing welfare problem, and confirmed that housing welfare for the elderly is closely connected to the elderly poverty and other medical welfare services due to the income status and the characteristics of the elderly. Among 5 elderly housing welfare related legislative bills drawn up in accordance with the Constitution, Low Birthrate and Aging Society Basic Law, Long-term Care Insurance for the Elderly and The Elderly Welfare Act, which are under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Health and Welfare, mostly regulate the contents of medical welfare promotion of the elderly and partly regulate elderly housing welfare problem. The Act on Support for the Underprivileged in Housing, which is under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, puts rules regarding establishment and enforcement of policy that can guarantee safe and convenient residential lives of the underprivileged in housing such as the handicapped and the elderly, and Housing Basic Law guarantees citizens' right to housing and establishes policies that contribute to people's resident stability and resident condition, which indicates that the objects these laws protect are comprehensive rather than limiting the elderly and the handicapped. However, these housing welfare policies need liaison with welfare services such as medical welfare services. Therefore, this study claimed the importance of connection among related laws, and of collaboration and cooperation among the ministries and offices concerned, and in this regard, it is necessary to avoid overlapped investment of government budget and to make continuous efforts for effective resource distribution when the government executes policies. Especially this study focused on the fact that the elderly poverty leads to housing poverty, and the housing poverty becomes the big burden of the government budget of elderly housing welfare. The government injects a considerable portion of finance and gives basic pension to low income elderly citizens, and the amount is supposed to increase gradually. For this reason, the government's finance for policies like housing welfare road map is in a bad condition. The government presents plans using Urban Housing Fund, but it is not enough for stable execution of housing welfare road map, which is large scale of national project. In addition, there is limitation in the elderly housing welfare improvement policies such as public silver towns due to concentration on housing supply for the youth and newly married couples. Therefore, this study suggested the method that Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport issue tentatively named ‘Housing Welfare Special Bond’ and National Pension Fund purchase the whole quantity. 2017년 8월 말 현재 우리나라는 고령사회에 진입하였고, 세계에서 유례가 없을 정도로 빠르게 초고령사회로의 진입이 예측되고 있다. 초고령사회에 우리가 직면하게 될 노인문제는 일자리 문제, 빈곤 문제, 주거복지 문제로 집약할 수 있는데, 지금부터 어떻게 준비하느냐? 에 따라 우리의 미래가 달라질 수 있다고 생각한다. 이에 이 논문에서는 노인주거복지 문제를 중심으로 논의하였고, 고령자 소득수준·생애주기의 특성상 노인주거복지는 노인빈곤과 기타 의료복지서비스와 밀접한 연관이 있음을 확인하였다. 헌법에 근거하여 만들어진 노인주거복지 관련 5개의 법안 가운데, 보건복지부 소관 법령인 저출산·고령화기본법, 노인장기요양보험법, 노인복지법 등은 주로 노인의 의료복지증진 관련 내용을 규정하면서 노인주거복지 문제도 부분적으로 규정하고 있다. 국토교통부 소관 법령인 주거약자지원법은 장애인·고령자 등 주거약자의 안전하고 편리한 주거생활을 보장할 수 있는 정책 수립과 시행에 관한 규정을 두고 있으며, 주거기본법은 국민의 주거권을 보장하고 정책 수립에 국민의 주거안정과 주거수준에 이바지하도록 한다는 점에서 노인이나 장애인에 한정하지 않고 보호 대상이 포괄적이다. 그런데 이러한 주거복지정책은 기본적으로 의료 등 복지서비스와의 연계가 필요하다. 따라서 정부가 정책을 수행함에 있어 관련 법령의 연계 노력, 소관 부처 간의 협력 및 협업 관계가 중요함을 주장하였고, 그러한 연장선에서 정부 예산의 중복 투자를 자제하고, 효율적인 자원 배분이 될 수 있도록 지속적인 노력을 기울여야 한다고 보았다. 특히 이 논문에서는 노인빈곤이 주거빈곤으로 이어지고, 주거빈곤은 정부의 노인주거복지 재정에 커다란 부담이 될 것임을 주목하였다. 정부는 이러한 상황에서 재정의 상당부분을 투입하여 기초연금을 저소득층 고령자에게 지급하고 있으며, 단계적으로 그 지급액을 증액하기로 하였다. 이로 인해 주거복지로드맵과 같은 정책의 추진에 필요한 정부의 재원은 충분한지 의문이다. 국토교통부는 주택도시기금을 활용하는 방안을 제시하고 있으나, 대규모 국책사업이라 할 수 있는 주거복지로드맵의 안정적인 추진을 위해서는 새로운 재원 방안을 검토해야 한다고 본다. 또한 청년층, 신혼부부를 위한 주택공급에 정부 정책의 집중으로 공공실버타운 같은 노인주거복지 개선 정책의 추진에도 한계가 있다. 이에 이 논문에서는 국토교통부가 가칭 “주거복지특별채권”을 발행하고 국민연금기금이 전량 매수하는 방안을 제언하였다.

유니버설 디자인 원칙 관점에서의 노인의료복지시설 안전성 연구 : 낙상사고 예방을 중심으로

나정자,고정훈 한국상품문화디자인학회 2023 상품문화디자인학연구 Vol.73 No.-

Currently, Korea is living in an aging society, and it is said that it will enter a super-aged society by 2025. Along with this increase in the elderly population, structural changes in society have led to an increase in family support, care, and care problems. One of the welfare policies to solve these problems is the elderly welfare facility service. Welfare facilities for the elderly are facilities that promote the welfare of the elderly, and in the Elderly Welfare Act, they are classified into residential welfare facilities for the elderly, medical welfare facilities for the elderly, leisure welfare facilities for the elderly, home elderly welfare facilities, and specialized agencies for protecting the elderly. The elderly medical welfare facility is a facility where the elderly 65 years of age or older who are in need of medical treatment mainly due to significant physical and mental disorders such as geriatric diseases are provided with meals, medical care, and other conveniences necessary for daily life. Divide by household In recent years, as demand increases in an aging society, medical welfare facilities for the elderly are also increasing. However, when looking at the installation standards of medical welfare facilities for the elderly, the characteristics of physically aging elderly are not sufficiently taken into account, so safety accidents in elderly care facilities are also increasing, and the use of the facilities is limited.Therefore, this study tried to suggest improvements in terms of the principles of universal design for the safety of medical welfare facilities for the elderly. In other words, by suggesting the relationship between the principles of universal design and improvement in bedrooms, bathrooms, and stairs that cause falls in elderly care welfare facilities, the need for establishment of facility design and product development processes and institutional support is raised. did.installation standards in the installation stage of facilities is necessary. 현재 우리나라는 고령사회에 살고 있으며 2025년에는 초고령 사회에 접어든다고 한다. 이러한 노인 인구의 증가와 함께 사회의 구조적 변화는 가족 내 부양이나 케어, 돌봄 등의 문제가 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 복지정책 중의 하나는 바로 노인복지시설 서비스이다. 노인복지시설은 노인의 복지를 증진 시키는 시설로써 노인복지법에서는 노인주거복지시설과 노인의료복지시설, 노인여가복지시설, 재가노인복지시설 그리고 노인보호전문기관으로 분류하고 있다. 노인의료복지시설은 주로 노인성 질환 등 심신의 상당한 장애로 요양이 필요한 65세 이상의 노인이 입소하여 급식·요양 그 밖의 일상생활에 필요한 편의를 제공받는 시설로 노인요양시설 즉, 요양원과 노인요양공동생활가정으로 나눈다. 최근 고령사회에 따른 수요가 증가함에 따라 노인의료복지시설도 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 노인의료복지시설의 설치기준으로 볼 때 신체적으로 노화하는 노인들의 특성을 충분히 고려하지 않아 노인요양시설에서의 안전사고 또한 늘어나고 있으며 시설 이용에 제한적이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노인의료복지시설의 안전성을 위해 유니버설 디자인의 원칙 측면에서 개선안을 제시하고자 하였다. 즉, 노인요양복지시설에서의 낙상사고를 유발하는 침실, 욕실, 계단 등에서의 개선사항을 유니버설 디자인의 원칙 측면의 연관성을 제시함으로써 시설의 설계와 제품 개발 프로세스의 확립 그리고 제도적인 뒷받침의 필요성을 제고하였다.

17개 시⋅도 노인복지예산 결정요인에 관한 연구: 퍼지셋 질적 비교분석을 중심으로

장은하,홍석호,김헌진 한국노년학회 2021 한국노년학 Vol.41 No.1

It is critical to secure stable financial resources and efficient financial management for local governments to promote elderly welfare. Using the Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis method, we empirically examined the conditions under which the 17 metropolises and provinces in Korea increase or decrease their budget for elderly welfare. After examining previous studies, socio-economic variables(ratio of elderly people, ratio of elderly welfare recipients), financial variables(financial independence ratio), and political administrative variables(number of regulations on elderly welfare) were included in the analyses to determine the causal conditions of elderly welfare budget perperson. Fs/QCA resulted in three combinations of elderly welfare budget per person: first, the combination of low ratio of elderly people, high ratio of elderly welfare recipients, and low number of regulations on elderly welfare; second, the combination of low ratio of elderly welfare recipients, low financial independence ratio, and high number of regulations on elderly welfare; and lastly, the combination of high ratio of elderly people, high ratio of elderly welfare recipients, and low financial independence ratio. Implications for elderly welfare were made considering socio- economic, financial, and political administrative circumstances based on the study results. 노인복지증진을 위한 지방정부의 안정적인 재원확보 및 효율적 재정운영은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 17개 시⋅도를 대상으로 퍼지셋 질적 비교분석 방법론(Fs/QCA)을 적용하여 노인복지예산 결정요인의 원인조건을 탐색하였다. 선행연구를 토대로 원인변수를 사회경제적 요인(고령인구비율, 노인국민기초생활보장 수급비율), 재정적 요인(재정자주도), 정치행정적 요인(노인복지조례 수)으로 선정하였고, 결과변수는 노인 1인당 복지예산으로 설정하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 노인복지예산을 결정하는 원인변수의 조합은 세 가지 형태로 나타났다. 첫째, 고령인구비율이 낮으며, 노인국민기초생활보장 수급비율이 높고, 노인복지조례 수가 적은 경우였다. 둘째, 노인국민기초생활보장 수급비율이 낮고, 재정자주도가 낮으며, 노인복지 조례 수가 많은 경우였다. 셋째, 고령인구비율이 높고, 노인국민기초생활보장 수급비율이 높으며, 재정자주도가 낮은 요인이 결합되어 노인복지예산 결정요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 지방정부에서는 사회경제적 요인, 재정적 요인, 정치행정적 요인 등을 고려하여 실질적인 노인복지예산 결정이 이루어질 수 있는 방안을 모색하기 위한 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.

This paper explores the role of church in solving the problem of the elderly and the role of the laymen can be absolutely crucial in the effective administration of elderly welfare. In recent years, The population of the aged is increasing rapidly, but the government`s social security system is very poor, while traditional filial piety and respect for the aged are gradually weakening. The life span of the aged is getting longer and welfare demands are becoming more varied and complicated. So the problem of the elderly is rising higher as a social problem. This study demonstrates that churches should inspire laymen to pay attention to the social problems and to participate in elderly welfare. This study also insists that churches should provide actual help for practicing elderly welfare like early Korean churches practiced the the love of God. But most churches in Korea are only interested in growing the church. They are not only indifferent to elderly welfare but also their activities are passive. Therefore the contents of services of the churches are insufficient for elderly welfare. This paper proceeds as following. First, this paper examines the problem of the elderly and the importance of elderly welfare in aging society. And this part emphasizes the responsibility of the churches for elderly welfare through analyzing the problems of the elderly. Second, this paper suggests the activation of elderly welfare through the survey of the status of current condition of elderly welfare and the practical plan for elderly welfare. Thirdly, this paper indicates the role of the churches for elderly welfare as a part of Christian mission. Fourth, this paper emphasizes the importance of laymen`s help to prepare for the aging society and elderly problems. I hope this study will contribute activation of elderly welfare from the view of church mission. So not only church ministers but also laymen will understand the problem of the elderly, practice the love of God, serve the neighbors and take th e role of light and salt to be the true church which shows the love of the Lord.
