다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

After the division of the country, not only the geography of Korea but also its people, the peaceful unification of the fatherland has been the supreme task of the Korean people. So they has continuously explored the best ways toward peaceful Unification.
But above all, it's the most important that how well all of the Korean people understand and support the unification policy of the Republic of Korea, that is to say, the consciousness of unification and security of the Korean people. So it is very necessary to discuss the consciousness of the unification and security of all the Korean, even the number of Korean resident aboard.
In case of Korean resident aboard, we cannot help paying a serious attention to Korean resident in Japan where 75% of Korean residents aboard live and subversive activities by Jo Chong Rhun, a pro-Pyongyang Korean residents' organization in Japan, expanded at first hand.
Therefore this paper is designed to examine and analyze the consciousness of the national unification and security of Korean residents in Japan based on public opinion survey by question-aires. Respondents were selected at random among the Jejuans in Japan, all of them live in Tokyo or Osaka. The following questions were asked: (1) their views on the unification of Korean peninsula; (2) cognizance of possibility of a committment to war by North Korea; (3) Knowledge about the communist society of North Korea; (4) their views on the Japan.
It is very hopeful that respondents in general had a relatively realistic point of view on the North Korea, but it's worth consideration in their views on the unification of the Korean peninsula resulted from the lack of understanding it.
To summarize findings briefly, they are as follows:
(1) In their views on the unification of the Korean peninsula that is Korean peoples' heart's desire, most of them pointed out that the impediments on the unification of the Korean peninsula is in North Korea communist group (32.3%) and dynamic relationship of powerful countries (26.9%), that is United States of America, Japan, China, Russia and etc.;
(2) 66.9% of them showed their support to the unification policy of Republic of Korea;
(3) Respondents tend to overlook the important role of U.S. 1.oops in Korea that restrain a new aggresive action by North Korea;
(4) Almost every respondents hope to resume the stalemated inter-Korean dialogue but it is expressed as a serious problem that 34.6% of them thought Republic of Korea should be accept even a part of the North Korean proposal for a resumption of the dialogue;
(5) 90.8% of respondents recognize the dangerous possibility of a committment to war by North Korea;
(6) Understanding the .eat aspects of North Korean society, 84.1% of them depend upon Japanese Mass Com. as the main source of knowledge;
(7) The number of respondents regard the focus of the Japan's policy toward the Korean peninsula is in its economic growth;
(8) In the light of national security in Korea, their reliability on Japan seems to be very low;
(9) At the mention of these opinion related to a standard of education, the higher they educated the more they are critical and negative in the actual-in the unification policy of Korea, the future prospect about the national unification and their life in Japan;
(10) In connection to generation, the old generation has a proper consciousness of national unification & security than new generation does And as generations go by, this consciousness tends to be weakened.
Accordingly, it is necessary to reappraise public relation about unification policy of Republic of Korea and to consider an epoch-making counterplan in order to realize our effort toward unification in Korean residents' society in Japan.
But above all there's a matter calling for prior settlement, that is, as we had seen from their answer of questionaire, the betterment of legal position of Korean residents' in japan. By doing in that way, they can maintain their dignity as Korean and propel the unification and security policy of Korean, that is supreme task of their fatherland, with patriotism.
