Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to prepare policies related to ‘North Korean children’s rights and welfare’ by examining the social perception of North Korean children’s rights and welfare through keyword network analysis. Based on the Big Data provided by Textom, we collected rawDATA with the keyword ‘North Korea + children + rights’ and ‘North Korea + children + welfare’. The collected data were subjected to a first and second refinement process, and 20 keywords were selected based on the extracted word frequency. A 1-mode matrix was created and a keyword network analysis was conducted. As a result of the research, it was found that ‘North Korea’, ‘child’, ‘protect’, ‘support’, ‘government’, ‘children’, ‘youth’, ‘relation’, ‘nation’, and ‘society’ were common keywords in the social awareness of North Korean children’s rights and welfare. On the other hand, ‘human rights’, ‘South Korea’, ‘United Nations’, ‘UN Convention on the Rights of the Child’, ‘female’, ‘world’, ‘convention’, ‘Japan’, and ‘discrimination’ were important keywords in North Korean children’s rights, while ‘North Korean defectors’, ‘symbol’, ‘disabled’, ‘song’, ‘welfare’, ‘business’, ‘history’, ‘mother-child’, ‘user’, and ‘object’ were important keywords in North Korean children’s welfare. In the future research, it is proposed not only to grasp the tendency, but also to prepare various policies related to North Korean children’s rights and welfare be prepared.
