이 연구는 한국형사·법무정책연구원의 2018년 범죄피해조사 데이터를 통해 자치경찰제의 정착에 관한 구체적인 정책적 제언을 위한 실증적 연구결과를 제시하고자 수행되었으며, 연구에서 활용된 데이터는 자치경찰제 시행 이전의 데이터를 통해 기존의 국가경찰 체제에서도 지역 공동체 의식과 거주환경이 경찰신뢰에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인할 수 있도록 했다. 현재 자치경찰제 시행은 과도기이며, 시행기간도 짧아 이전 체제에서 발생된 문제를 토대로 나아갈 방향을 제시하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 주요 변수인 공동체 의식과 지역특성이 경찰에 대한 신뢰에 미치는 영향을 살펴보면, 공동체의식이 높을수록 경찰에 대한 신뢰도가 높아졌으며, 무질서 지역 즉, 사회해체 상황을 경험할 수 있는 거주환경을 가진 사람은 경찰신뢰가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 특이점으로는 거주기간이 길수록 경찰의 신뢰수준이 유의미하게 낮아졌다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 거주환경과 공동체 의식과 관련하여 자치경찰의 정착 관련 정책에 대해 제언했다.

The Effect of Residential Environment on Respiratory Diseases and Pulmonary Function in Children from a Community in Jilin Province of China.

PurposeRespiratory disease is a major and increasingly global epidemic that has a great impact on humans, especially children. The purpose of this study was to identify environmental risk factors for respiratory diseases and pulmonary function in children.Patients and MethodsA population-based, cross-sectional survey of respiratory diseases and environmental risk factors was conducted in Jilin Province, China. Complete questionnaire information was available for 2419 children, while adequate pulmonary function data were available for a subgroup of 627 children.ResultsOur study found that environmental risk factors for respiratory health in children were mainly concentrated indoors. After adjusting for demographic factors, insecticide exposure and passive smoking were risk factors for respiratory disease and industrial pollutant sources, insecticide exposure and the use of a fume exhauster may be independent risk factors for recurrent respiratory infections. The main fuel for cooking in the winter and passive smoking were the main influencing factors of pulmonary function indicators.ConclusionThe primary risk factors differ in different respiratory diseases. Passive smoking remains a critical adverse factor for respiratory illness and pulmonary function in children, and it is important to reduce children’s exposure to passive smoking to increase pulmonary health. Insecticide exposure may be a neglected environmental risk factor, and further investigations are still needed to explore the relationship and mechanisms between insecticide exposure and children’s respiratory health.

The effects of residential environment on the condition and fitness of soccer players in the summer.

Exercise performance is reduced in hot environments due to physiological responses caused by increased body temperature. A proper residential environment is important for improving the performance and maintaining physical condition of soccer players in the summer. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of indoor temperature of the resting space during the summer on the fitness and condition of soccer players. A total of 12 K-3 League semiprofessional players without serious injuries in the last 3 months voluntarily participated in the study. Participants performed speed (10 m, 20 m, and 30 m), soccer-specific coordination skill (dribbling), agility, repeated sprints, Yo-Yo intermittent level 2, vertical jump, and questionnaire (fatigue, sleep quality, muscle soreness, stress, and mood) after staying indoor temperature at 20°C, 26°C, and 30°C for one night, respectively. There was no difference among groups in physical fitness (speed, agility, jump, coordination, Yo-Yo intermittent level 2, and repeated sprints). The differences in fatigue and sleep quality were not statistically significant among groups, but they tended to be different. Muscle soreness was similar among all groups. Significant differences were observed between the 20°C and 30°C groups in stress and mood levels. The present study concluded that, while the physical fitness did not differ among groups, the 30°C residential environment was shown to have a negative psychological effect. Considering that many diseases associated with hot weather occur in low residential temperatures, a room temperature of 26°C is recommended for elite soccer players in hot summer weather.

Effects of the Residential Environment on Health in Japan Linked with Travel Behavior.

This paper aims to clarify how the residential environment is associated with overall health-related quality of life (QOL) via active travel (walking and cycling), by reflecting the influence of different trip purposes in Japan. The health-related QOL includes physical, mental, and social dimensions. For this study we implemented a questionnaire survey in 20 cities in Japan in 2010 and obtained valid answers from 1202 respondents. The residential environment is defined in terms of distances to and densities of different daily facilities extracted from both the survey and external GIS data. We found that the effects of residential environment on active travel behavior are mixed and limited, depending on types of trip makers. Unexpectedly, travel behavior has no direct effects on the health-related QOL. The residential environment, which is only observed indirectly via lifestyle habits for commuters, has limited effects on health. As for noncommuters, neither their travel behavior nor the residential environment influences their health-related QOL.

VALIDATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR HEALTH PROMOTION

The number of patients with heat stroke, sleep disorder and heat shock caused by poor indoor condition increased, becoming a major social issue. As the house is the base of life, the improvement of residential environment that supports resident's health is a pressing issue. This study figured out the effect of residential environment on resident's health and developed the residential environment assessment tool for health promotion. Then, verified the effectiveness of this tool. People recognize the level of their house and notice the risk factors of disease in their house through the evaluation result with this tool. It will be highly motivating for them to improve the residential environment for health promotion.

Residential environments and cardiovascular risk.

The article begins with a discussion of the rationale for studying the relationship between residential environments and cardiovascular health. Existing empirical research relating residential environments to cardiovascular outcomes and risk factors is summarized. The research areas discussed include neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics and cardiovascular disease, the effects of residential environments on physical activity, and the effects of residential environments on diet. Other mechanisms through which residential environments may affect cardiovascular health are also briefly noted. Key challenges in investigating the relationship between residential environments and health are discussed. These challenges include characterizing environments (including definition and geographic scale as well as conceptualization and measurement of relevant features), the limitations of observational studies, and the need to evaluate the health impact of interventions or "naturally" occurring changes in local environments. The need for interdisciplinary work is emphasized.

Poverty, Housing Niches, and Health in the United States

Drawing on psychological, health, and social science literature, a housing niche model is developed that focuses on (a) housing markets and other societal processes that constrain residential choice, (b) effects of residential environments on health and access to human and social capital, and (c) family dynamic effects on health and the intergenerational consequences of particular housing niches for future health and housing choices. The model requires the examination of cumulative risks, mediating and moderating processes, and the use of multilevel statistical models. The health consequences of existing housing policies are explored and future directions for research and policy suggested.
