Abstract

we explored the case of 'H-Community', a private organization that supports alcohol-dependent homeless people living in the Jokbang village, based on the awareness that "the key to social assistance for alcohol-dependent homeless may be an influential relationship to replace the role of their families." The data collection and analysis followed the research that Spradley presented, and the result was 'living in the balance rather than the great affection'. However, the density of the relationship and emotional bond appeared different, which had something to do with their respective life processes and their health, age and economic conditions. These differences were categorized and suggested as arguments through 'a family-alternative relationship', 'emotional bond' and 'participation'. Based on the results, the conclusions presented the implications needed for alcohol-dependent homeless people.

본 연구에서는 '알코올 의존 노숙인을 위한 사회복지적 지원의 핵심은 가족을 대체할 만한 영향력 있는 관계'일 수 있다는 문제의식을 바탕으로, 중림동 쪽방촌 일대에서 알코올 의존 노숙인을 지원하는 'H-공동체'의 사례를 스프레들리가 제시한 문화기술지 방식으로 탐색하였다. 연구결과 알코올 의존자들은 H-공동체를 중심으로 '가족을 대체할만한 관계'를 맺고 있었으며, 그 속에서 '정서적 유대감'을 형성하고 있었다. 그리고, 이는 '큰 정은 없어도 잔정으로 살아가기'라는 문화적 주제로 나타났다. 하지만, 그 관계와 유대감 정도는 다르게 나타났으며, 이는 각자의 생애과정과 건강, 나이, 경제 상황과 무관하지 않았다. 논의에서는 이 같은 차이를 '가족을 대체할만한 관계', '정서적 유대감', '참여' 정도를 통해 유형화시키고 논점으로 제안하였다. 결론에서는 연구결과를 바탕으로 알코올 의존 노숙인에게 필요한 함의를 제시하고 제언을 하였다.
