지역주민의 사회적 자본과 주관적 행복감과의 관계

Abstract

This study is a descriptive study to identify the degree of social capital and subjective happiness and to analyze the influence of social capital on subjective happiness of residents living in 16 districts of Busan Metropolitan City. This is a secondary analysis using raw data from the Community Health Survey (CHS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019. Subjective happiness was significantly different according to age (F=44.17, p<.001), education level (F=135.98, p<.001), and income level (F=168.00, p<.001), subjective stress (F=543.75, p<.001), subjective oral health level (F=213.81, p<.001), sleep time (F=110.55, p<.001), smoking (t=-10.58, p<.001), depression (t=-22.90, p<.001), hypertension (t=-11.67, p<.001), diabetes (t=-8.05, p<.001), social activities (t=19.35, p<.001), trust between neighbors (t=17.75, p<.001), town natural environment (t=10.03, p<.001), town living environment (t=9.39, p<.001) and town public transportation (t=7.01, p<.001). Factors influencing subjective happiness were age, education level, income level, subjective stress, subjective oral health level, smoking, depression, residential area (region), social activities, trust between neighbors, town natural environment, and town public transportation (F=186.05, p<.001). The explanatory power was 24%. In order to devise measures to resolve the regional gap in social capital, it is necessary to investigate and solve problems in each region and prepare measures to improve the dissatisfaction of local residents.
