The purpose of this study is to propose ways to improve the space of the National Youth Healing Center through interviews with experts, namely the operators of the National Youth Healing Center. For this, six space planning procedures and items were established, including planning of location, layout, space program, operation, facility utilization, and community. The results showed that location planning is necessary to consider regional characteristics, site access conditions, public transportation, and pedestrian accessibility. Layout planning must examine the connectivity with surrounding facilities, the landscape, and the flow of external traffic. Space program planning, divided into communal living facilities, educational activities facilities, professional treatment facilities, relaxation facilities, and operational support facilities, should identify room size, function, equipment, circulation, and demand for common use space. Operation program planning must design demand-based operations programs, associate them with the space programs, and reflect the requirements of the times. Facility utilization planning should consider safety and convenience by preventing the need for emergency rescues; this will include items such as safety windows, handrails, screens, and fences. In addition it should include a review of spatial variability by maximizing the requirement for spatial efficiency. Community planning must perform its organization role in consideration of the regional base space of the external and public space. Overall results are expected to serve as a plan to improve the space when the National Youth Healing Center is built in the future.

This study examined the influence of single-parent families’ residential environment on adolescent children’s Internet addiction during the COVID-19 pandemic, together with the mediating effects of single parents’ depression and parenting stress. A representative sample from the raw data of the Survey of Single-parent Families in 2021 was used, and main variables were measured with scales included in the survey. Direct and indirect influences of residential environment were analyzed by utilizing Model 6 of the Process Macro. The following results were yielded from data analyses. First, single-parent families’ residential environment had a negative influence on adolescent children’s Internet addiction. Second, single parents’ depression had a simple mediation effect on the influence of residential environment on Internet addiction. Third, single parents’ parenting stress did not have a simple mediation effect. Finally, single parents’ depression and parenting stress had a dual mediation effect. That is, the level of residential environment decreased the level of depression, which in turn decreased the level of parenting stress and finally decreased the level of Internet addiction. This study has a point of contribution in that it examined the influence of single-parent families’ residential environment on the development of adolescent children and mechanisms behind the influence. Diverse strategies to support the healthy development of adolescents in single-parent families were discussed based on the findings of this study.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of college students' planned serendipity skills and career resilience on career preparation behavior and to analyze the moderated mediation of grit. The subjects of this study are 508 college students attending 4-year universities including Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. To verify the model of this study, we randomly sampled college students attending a four-year university and conducted a survey online and offline. The survey period was from May to July 2023, and 508 cases were used for analysis. The main results of the study are as follows: First, as a result of examining the impact of college students' planned serendipity skills on career preparation behavior, planned serendipity skills were found to have a significant impact on career preparation behavior. In other words, the higher the level of planned serendipity skills of college students, the higher the level of career preparation behavior. Second, as a result of examining the impact of college students' career elasticity on career preparation behavior, it was found that college students' career elasticity had a significant impact on career preparation behavior. In other words, the higher the career elasticity of college students, the higher the level of career preparation behavior. Third, as a result of analyzing the mediating effect of career elasticity in the relationship between planned contingency skills and career preparation behavior of college students, it was found that career elasticity perceived by college students had a significant effect on the relationship between planned contingency skills and career preparation behavior. In other words, it can be seen that planned contingency technology has a direct effect on career preparation behavior, but also has an indirect effect through career elasticity. Therefore, it can be seen that career elasticity plays an important role as a mediating variable in the relationship between planned contingency skills and career preparation behavior.

This study was conducted with the aim of verifying the mediating effect of social support in the impact of cultural adaptation stress on career decision-making in teenagers from multicultural families and making theoretical, practical, and policy suggestions to strengthen their career decision-making. The summary of the findings of this study is as follows. It has been confirmed that cultural adaptation stress of adolescents from multicultural families has a complete mediating effect that affects career decision-making through social support. These results are supported by previous studies that claimed that cultural adaptation stress causes low social support, and are in line with previous studies that low social support negatively affects career decision-making. This means that efforts are needed to increase social support to strengthen the career decision-making of teenagers from multicultural families.

The purpose of this study is to broaden the theoretical debates on youth volunteering by examining the terrains of the debates on the nature of youth volunteering that revolves around the discourse of 'service-learning' and revealing differences in perspectives on the meaning of service-learning. Already, interest of many researchers in volunteering has moved beyond the practical and pragmatic and has been theorized around the concept of 'service learning'. Service-learning has emerged from the institutionalizations of youth volunteering and has driven the enactment of volunteer legislations. Meanwhile, critical service-learning theories have been raised from a different perspective from policy discourses and mainstream service-learning theories. Both of the existing service-learning theory, which sees youth learning citizenship as a responsibility and duty for social integration through volunteering, and the critical service-learning theory, which recognizes the structural inequalities of neoliberalism and seeks critical citizenship for social justice, require an understanding of the political, economic, and social context surrounding youth volunteering. It is hoped that through the dialogues between the two perspectives, youth service learning for democratic citizenship will be explored.
