공공공간에서 노숙청소년의 대인관계와 일상생활에 관한 연구 = A Study on Interpersonal Relation and Everyday Life of Homeless Youth in Public Spaces

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to understand the hardship, the danger and social exclusion with which hidden homeless kids are faced in public spaces. Interpersonal relation and everyday life of homeless youth, who are supposed to be out of the place where they should be, are analysed by in-depth interviews. This paper defines homelessness as the discontinuity between old interpersonal relation and the new relation and the transformation of everyday life space from private to public spaces. Unlike adult homeless people, homeless kids try to be invisible (undistinguishable) in public spaces, because they have experienced several dangers, social exclusion and discrimination as well as severe hardship in the public spaces. Despite hoping to terminate their homeless life in the future and to have a safe home and interpersonal relation like a family, they just have another tough day in the street.
