Abstract

The primary purpose of this dissertation is to suggest a better way of the networking community-based welfare service delivery systems in Korea. This topic has recently been highlighted as a new way of providing welfare services in the communities, which could be instituted as a politically feasible, economically affordable, and socially acceptable welfare delivery systems. In order to build a proper network systems, we tried to critically review the some of the previous studies in connection with the governance theory, networking models, social welfare delivery systems, community-based welfare service delivery systems, so forth. As a result of reviewing the previous papers, we come up with some conclusion that the community-based welfare service delivery systems with networking among the public institutes, the private welfare service providing agencies, and the corporative committees for regional social welfare services can be a truly viable alternative welfare model. The success of the new networking model is largely depend upon participation and partnership among the three-welfare-related-parties. In fact, the capabilities of local community members and the extent of community organization determine the level of welfare services, while the partnership among varieties of welfare service suppliers being the driving force behind the community-based welfare system. This dissertation has been constructed with the five chapters, each of which can be depicted as follow. Chapter one serves as introduction of this study, which reveals the purposes and methodologies of this dissertation. As mentioned, the purpose of the study is to suggest the networking model of community-based welfare service delivery systems among the public institutes, the private welfare service providing agencies, and the corporative committees for regional social welfare services. To accomplish the purpose, first of all, in Chapter two, we review the previous studies, and extract some of the meaningful variables and concepts that will play pivotal role in the model. Acturally, we build a model for the community-based welfare service delivery system by networking the three-welfare-related-parties. Chapter three examines the reality of the community-based welfare delivery systems with related to the public institutes, the private welfare service providing agencies, and the corporative committees for regional social welfare services. As a result of examining the cases of the three-party-welfare delivery systems, we have arrived at some of the problems in connection with the levels of funds, recruting the social welfare professionals, networking with other social welfare resources. In chapter four, we have suggested some of the strategic plans that could overcome the shortcomings of the social welfare delivery systems in Korea. Above all, We suggest the way of networking the social welfare delivery systems. In order for the networks to work as intented, appropriate level of funds should be given to both the public and private sectors. Secondly, Social Welfare professionals should be recruited to meet the needs of the social welfare customers. Lastly, Social welfare officials engaged in the networks should be activated in generating the goods and services. By way of conclusion, It should be noted that citizen participation is the key to the social welfare networks. Therefore, the specific methods of mobilizing the citizen on the community of the network should be generated.
