노인을 위한 지역사회 자원연계사업 관한 한·일 비교연구

Abstract

This study examined Korean-type community-linked care projects whose concept has a structure different from Japan's publicly established community asset-linked process based on the linkage between its comprehensive community support centers and home-care support centers. This is also the problem surrounding Korea's pilot care projects which have started without establishing Japan's community's residential area conceptfor elderly care insurance. Specifically, these problems include a failure to activate network meetings through the existing formed community networks due to the nature of communities, and a lack of local governments' positive support and publicity efforts. These problems were examined and the following proposals are presented. First, to overcome the limits of access to the free public services of the current community asset-linked projects, it is imperative to explore available resources by city and province, and to form a close-knit networking thereof. Second, there is a need to standardize care plans so as to boost professionalism of the care services, to improve welfare devices and visit-and-care services, and to organize an effective system for the prevention of various diseases. Third, there is a need to prepare measures for expanding beneficiaries of the care projects, for raising finances, and for effectively operating the services in order to improve the quality of managing team-accessed casesthough the development ofprofessional manpower.
