다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to explore factors influencing distribution of social welfare facilities for the elderly, children, the disabled, and the poor in South Korea. This study uses spatial autoregressive model(SAR) analysis to determine factors affecting relative sufficiency of social welfare facilities in the 230 regions. The units of analysis are the number of social welfare facilities and the number of target population in each region. A dependent variable is Location Quotient(LQ). Independent variables are (1)region, (2)population rate, and (3)financial autonomy rate.
Results from the SAR model show that variables of social welfare facilities are supplied regardless of the size of demands. In particular, there are no statistically significant factors explaining the distribution of welfare facilities for the disabled and the elderly using facilities while there exist statistically significant factors for the elderly using local senior centers. Findings suggest that policy makers need to consider making criteria for distributing social welfare facilities based on regional resources and needs.
