우리나라의 가정형 호스피스는 고령화의 가속화에도 불구하고 여전히 낮은 공급 수준을 보이며, 지역 간 격차에 대한 실증 연구도 제한적이다. 본 연구는 2016–2024년 전국 호스피스 공급 자료, 지역별 고령화 지표, 사망 장소 통계를 활용하여 공급 수준, 증가 추세, 고령화 고집중 지역, 잠재수요–공급 불일치에 관한 네 가지 가설을 검증하였다. 가정형 호스피스는 전국 39개 기관으로 가장 낮은 공급을 보였으며, 2019년 이후 증가가 정체되어 있었다. 전남·경북·강원·전북은 높은 고령화율을 가진 연속적 고집중지역으로 확인되 었으나, 이들 지역의 가정형 서비스 접근성은 매우 낮았다. 잠재수요 대비 공급 부족도 확인되었으나, 세부 지역 자료 한계로 부분적 검증에 그쳤다. 한국의 호스피스 체계는 병원 중심에 머물러 있으며, 가정형 호스 피스는 지역의 인구학적 요구와 충분히 부합하지 못하고 있다. 지역 간 형평성을 고려한 자원 재배치와 지역사회 기반 호스피스 강화가 필수적이다.

This study was conducted to understand the current status of regional health inequalities and nurse supply and demand policies, and to suggest ways to supply nurses to regions where nurses are scarce. Secondary data such as academic papers, government announcements, and related laws were analyzed, and the results were reviewed from various perspectives to derive policy proposals. Health professions were distributed around large cities including Seoul, and those regions had relatively high health levels. However, the number of hospital beds increased steadily, mainly in the non-metropolitan area. This seems to be one of the reasons why there is always a shortage of nurses in the local medical field despite the supply of nurses, and it can be a factor that aggravates regional inequalities. In order to solve the chronic shortage of nurses, supply-oriented policies such as increasing the admission quota and utilizing inactive nurses, and demand-oriented policies such as regulations on the nurse staffing level and improvement of the incentive scheme for quality evaluation of hospital service have been implemented. In the past, the focus was simply on the quantitative expansion of nurses, but recently, policies that emphasize the qualitative aspect of nursing are being promoted. However, the policy for the distribution aspect of nurses is still somewhat incomplete. Therefore, to solve this problem, strengthening the nurse staffing level in medical institutions, promoting nursing policies led by local governments, developing standard wage guidelines, and training nurses as public health personnel were proposed.

Most of countries are trying to increase the supply of renewable energy as the substitute of the fossil energy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, renewable energy sources account for only about 3.86% of the total Korea primary energy supply. To increase the rate of renewable energy in Korea’s energy consumption, various policies for expanding the use of renewable energy should be applied. Also these policies should be consider renewable energy resources distribution and regional inequality. In this study, the potentials of photovoltaic, wind power and bioenergy from rice straw, livestock waste and food waste are calculated and the distribution characteristic and regional inequalities are analyzed using Gini’s coefficient and Gini decomposition method. As the results, technical potentials of photovoltaic and wind power of city region(Gu) has more potential rate than theoretical potentials. Livestock waste has the most unequal distribution (Gini’s coefficient: 0.617) among renewable resources.

This research aims to identify regional inequitable development through the analysis of facilities distribution pattern. This study describes the concepts underlying the application of the Gini's coefficient and decomposition method to measure the regional inequitable development in Sun-chang County, Jeonbuk Province, Korea. We used the facility data surveyed for three years, from 2010 to 2012 for facility distribution pattern that RDA surveyed. These data have been serviced on the web. The Lorenz Curve presents a graphical view of the inequitable facility distribution and the Gini's Coefficients quantifies the distribution pattern. And furthermore, Gini Decomposition represents intra regional inequalities. These applied techniques can describe how the local development affects other district and change regional inequalities.
