Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to reveal the multidimensional characteristics of poverty and social structural factors of social exclusion experienced by residents of the refugee village in Bokhyeon 1-dong. The result of field research and collecting oral data from residents are as follows. First, the pauperization of the refugee village in Bokhyeon 1-dong was the result of social exclusion due to social structural factors such as industrialization of Korean society and growth-oriented economic policies. Second, the pauperization in this area was investigated as a multidimensional social exclusion in which material deprivation, deprivation of educational opportunities, and deprivation of opportunities to enter the labor market were interrelated. Third, the residents of Bokhyeon 1-dong recognized relative poverty in conjunction with development. Residents felt poverty when their own residential environment and development, which were underdeveloped compared to the development of nearby areas, were frustrated. This study proposes practical improvements in urban development policies that can reduce relative poverty for urban poor people.
