퇴소청년의 주거경험에 관한 질적 연구 - 주거양태에 따른 장점과 단점을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study explored the advantages and disadvantages according to the‘residential pattern’of the youth who were discharged from the facility. Participants were 19 people who were discharged from the child care facilities. The data analysis induced 18 topics (5 related to advantage and 13 related to disadvantage) based on five residential patterns: Living with those who were also discharged from the facilities was ‘cost-effective’ and ‘collapsed together’. Living alone in a rented room was ‘unstable’ and ‘satisfied with receiving housing benefits’. Child care facilities (extension of protection) were ‘psychological stability’, ‘limitations of language training and leave of absence from school’ and ‘life discipline’. Independent living centers have been found to be ‘can save money’, ‘can get management and support’ and ‘can't play as much as I want’. Houses provided by the Korea Land & Housing Corporation(LH) were found to be ‘low cost of housing’, ‘restrictions on eligibility and timing of applications’ and ‘can be misguided’. Permanent lease among houses provided by LH was found to ‘take time to permit’ and ‘poor housing conditions due to aging’. Lease on a deposit basis for children without parents among houses provided by LH was found to be ‘unable to continue residence’, ‘the landlord is reluctant due to complicated procedures’ and ‘I don't like it even if I find it difficult’. Based on the results of the study, a policy proposal was made to support the discharged youth.
