위험의 사회·심리학적 속성 = Socio-Psychological Characteristics of Risk

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 위험시설의 입주와 그로 인한 긴급사황의 발생에 따른 주민의 대피행위를 분석함으로써 위험관리를 위한 합리적인 정책적 접근이 무엇인지 모색하였다. 위험에 관한 일반적인 시각은 사회심리학적 의미성을 강조하였음에도 불구하고 막상 위험사고가 발생하였을 때 나타나는 개인 혹은 집단적 지역주민들의 반응을 단순히 사고지점으로부터의 거리의 함수관계로 보는 경향이 있었다. 거리보다 더욱 중요한 사회심리학적 요인 혹은 사회체계상의 요인은 무엇인지에 대한 심도 있는 논의를 찾을 수 없다. 위기상황하에서 어떤 요인이 대피의 원인변수로서 의미를 지니고 있는지를 살펴보는 것은 실효성 있는 위험관리 정책을 위하여 기본이 된다. 로지스틱 통계분석기법을 사용하여 분석한 결과 대피에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수로 위험에 대한 인식이나 위험관리체계적 요인으로서의 위험정보네트워크가 매우 중요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 사회적 신뢰성의 확보 여부가 위험사고발생시의 주민들의 이성적이고 합리적인 행동을 유도하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다.

such as non-for-profit organizations and youth institutions, while their owners are the City and Ku government. This method of operation is also known as contracting out and is a form of privatized management. The methods of analysis for this study include literature reviews, interviews with employees and public officials, and survey and field research. Important findings and policy implications are as follows: First, youth centers that are managed by the third sector provide better services by optimizing their expertise but generally are driven by profit-oriented motives rather a desire to enhance service quality.
Thus, through the expansion of youth programs, youth participation should be increased. Second, to enhance the accessibility of youth centers to local youths, the location of new facilities should take into consideration the distribution of the youth population. Third, to increase the effectiveness of the management, the actual adniinistrativc costs should be reflected in fees.
Finally, through a mutual-cooperation among youth centers, the efficiency of facility utilization should be maximized.
This study searched for what could be a right policy approach for risk management. A model for decision-making about evacuation during the explosion of the LPG gas recharge factory in the urban residential area was tested by a logistic modeling. The important assumption was that the social experience of risk cannot be confined to the technical definition of risk, i.e., the product of probability and magnitude. What human beings perceive as threats to their well-being may be influenced by various factors such as their values, attitudes, social influences, and cultural identity. However, in such a imminent hazardous situation people's behavior are functioned more by psychological factors rather than by economic calculations in the rational choice framework. Emergency risk communication system, for instance, was found to be a very important variable helping peoples' decision-making in that case. Likewise, the results shows that evacuation behaviour seems to be shaped by various socio-economic factors, i.e., income, education, dwelling pattern, ect..
