Full textForskningen kring välfärdsstatsattityder och dess determinanter är omfattande, men väldigt få studier intresserar sig för hur grundläggande mänskliga värderingar påverkar dessa attityder. Den här avhandlingen syftar till att fylla denna lucka genom att fokusera på relationen mellan värderingar och attityder till välfärdsstaten. Särskilt fokus har lagts på att utforska den modererande inverkan som kontextuella faktorer har på länken mellan värderingar och attityder i olika nationella kontexter. I den bemärkelsen syftar avhandlingen även att bidra till forskningen om hur institutioner och andra kontextuella faktorer är kopplade till formeringen av attityder, där man ännu inte lyckats hitta en tydligt framträdande relation mellan den nationella kontexten formeringen av attityder på individnivån. För att kunna mäta värderingar på ett adekvat sätt, och för att kunna estimera och jämföra effekterna av värderingar på välfärdsstatsattityder i olika nationella kontexter, har konfirmatorisk faktoranalys (CFA) och strukturella ekvationsmodeller (MGSEM) använts. Dessa metoder tillåter testandet av ekvivalens med avseende på de mätinstrument som används, dvs. om måtten för värderingar har samma betydelse i olika grupper, vilket är en förutsättning för att kunna jämföra effekterna av värderingar i olika länder. Data på individnivå beträffande värderingar och attityder har hämtats från European Social Survey (ESS) från åren 2002-08. Dessutom har kontextdata hämtats från en rad olika källor. Resultaten visar att värderingar kan spela en betydande roll i att forma attityder till välfärdsstaten, men samtidigt att värderingarnas inverkan varierar kraftigt mellan olika länder. Flera faktorer i den nationella kontexten, såsom graden av generositet i välfärdsstatssystemen, samt de välfärdsstatliga institutionernas diskursiva inramning och deras socioekonomiska utfall, modererar länken mellan värderingar och attityder. Exempelvis, jämlikhetsorienterade värderingar har större betydelse för attityder till välfärdsstaten i mer generösa välfärdsstater och där omfördelningspolitiska frågor i högre grad präglar den politiska debatten. Vidare finns det klasskillnader i kopplingen mellan värderingar och attityder, i bemärkelsen att de med lägre utbildning och mindre intellektuellt krävande arbeten i mindre utsträckning formar sina attityder baserat deras värderingar. Dessa klasskillnader är särskillt stora i länder där de lägre klasserna är särskilt riskutsatta samt i högre grad saknar resurser att möta dessa risker. Medan värderingar har en betydande påverkan på generella attityder till välfärdsstaten i många länder så är länken mellan värderingar och stödet för specifika omfördelningsstategier svag eller icke existerande i de flesta länder som studerats. Slutligen så visar resultaten att de värderingar som ligger till grund för välfärdsstatsattityder i Östeuropeiska länder är fundamentalt annorlunda än de i Västeuropa. Jämlikhetsorienterade värderingar spelar en betydande roll i Västeuropeiska länder medan konservativa värderingar spelar en mer framträdande roll i Östeuropa. Resultaten föreslår att relationen mellan värderingar och attityder till välfärdsstaten beror på (i) om människor upplever att välfärdsstatens institutioner har betydande konsekvenser för deras möjligheter att få sina värderingar realiserade, och (i) frånvaron eller närvaron av konkurrerande motiv. Därmed är det inte nödvändigtvis så att människor som är mer jämliksorienterade i sina värderingar även är mer positivt inställda till välfärdsstaten och omfördelning. Detta beror istället på kontextuella faktorer, såsom institutioner och deras utfall, och deras inverkan på länken mellan värderingar och attityder. I motsats till tidigare forskning, som haft svårt att hitta tydliga kopplingar mellan exempelvis institutioner och attityder, så visar resultaten i denna avhandling att finns tydliga kopplingar mellan makro- och mikronivån men att dessa inte är så okomplicerade och direkta som man tidigare trott. Istället verkar det vara i samspelet mellan värderingar, attityder och institutioner som denna relations kan hittas.

Full textThe present study tries to understand the causes of the divergent trajectories of three different models of Welfare State: the liberal, the conservative/corporatist and the social-democratic. To reach this goal it is selected three countries that are ideal types of these models: United Kingdom, France and Sweden respectively. Using the tools of the institutionalism is established a relationship of the embeddedness of the values in each selected society and its formal institutions. The trajectories are analyzed in the context of an increasing economic integration and pressure from the European Union to converge the models of social protection. It can be perceived from the research that some models of Welfare State are more resilient than others and that the trajectories are path dependents. The models and its transformations reflect the cultural embeddedness in the selected countries, and this non deterministic relationship makes the convergence of the social policies aimed by the European Union difficult and improbable in the short/medium term. To analyze the cultural values it is used as proxies the answers from questionnaires in the World Values Survey. From these data is established the relationship between the culture/values and the socioeconomic indicators related to the Welfare State. The work found out that the Welfare State is a reflection of a cumulative process and that the aim of the supranational institutions to converge the models will face institutional constraints.

Full textThe purpose of this policy analysis is to critically review the Welfare and Institutions Code§ 369.5, which regulates the authorization of psychotropic medication to treat mental disorders among California's dependent children. While these medications have been proven effective forms of treatment, there is a growing concern about their life threatening side effects.
Research has concluded that children exposed to chronic child abuse and neglect often present with behaviors indicative of trauma. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition has included criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) in children. However, the Welfare and Institutions Code§ 369.5 does not mandate psychiatrists and pediatricians to first rule out trauma prior to diagnosing foster children with one or more behavior, mood, or psychotic disorders.
Results support amending child welfare legislation and policies to reflect a shift toward trauma-focused services, thereby reducing the reliance on potentially dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.

Full textThe report, A Crucible Moment, published in 2012 by the National Task Force on Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement described a crisis in higher education surrounding the lack of civic learning and engagement opportunities for students. This crisis has led to decreased political participation and a general lack of knowledge in civics education (National Task Force on Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement, 2012). Educating students for citizenship in America's colleges and universities will assist with sustaining the country's democracy by engendering a sense of civic responsibility in young adults that will last throughout their lifetime. This qualitative case study examined the relationship between two institutions of higher education (IHEs) and AmeriCorps programs to determine how the partnerships operated and whether they addressed the recommendations for higher education cited in A Crucible Moment.
IHEs are using A Crucible Moment as a guiding document to think about civic learning and democratic engagement. While many are in the process of creating new initiatives and programs to address those issues, this study focuses on two existing programs that may provide a framework for strategically integrating civic engagement into higher education using a readily available government resource—AmeriCorps. With recent budget cuts impacting education, it is difficult for many IHEs to obtain additional funding to support initiatives directly related to student learning. As a result, finding resources to implement civic learning and democratic engagement opportunities that are often perceived as tangential to the education process is nearly impossible. AmeriCorps, now in its 20th year of implementation, has had a steady stream of funding and bipartisan support from the government over the years. IHEs that sponsor an AmeriCorps program have the potential to civically engage students and promote mutually beneficial community partnerships.
Using inteorganizational collaboration theory as a framework, I examined two different models of IHE-AmeriCorps partnerships. Based on the levels of collaboration, I was able to assess the degree to which these types of partnerships could be feasible at distinctly different IHEs given their organizational structure and resources. Although the findings of this research are not generalizable, they provide insights into how IHE-AmeriCorps partnerships operate and demonstrate that, in the cases examined, they do implement the key recommendations of A Crucible Moment. As a result, an IHE-AmeriCorps partnership could be an effective and relatively inexpensive way for an IHE to enhance their civic engagement opportunities.

Full textThe fast and easy global movement of capital throughout the financial system, from lenders to borrowers and through intermediaries and financial market participants, has been recognized as a source of instability associated with illiquidity and financial crises. The purpose of this research was to better understand how regulation either enables or constrains capital movement. The theoretical framework comprised 2 contrasting public policymaking models, Arrow's rational-comprehensive model and Kingdon's garbage can model, which were used to derive opposing hypotheses. The research question addressed the nature of the relationship between Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) regulations and the flow of capital into Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) when lenders share their borrower-related loan risks through intermediaries with other market participants. This quantitative study was a quasiexperimental time series design incorporating an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model using secondary data published by the U.S. government. The 2 independent variables were regulatory periods involving 2 CDSs regulations and the dependent variable was capital in the U.S. financial system that is deployed to CMOs. The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000's ARIMA model (1,2,1) was significant at p < .05 and was negatively correlated to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008's ARIMA model (1,1,0), r = -.91, n = 18, p < .001. These results suggest that regulations cannot be relaxed and then reinstated with predictable results. The potential for positive social change is from stable financial institutions that mutually benefit depositors and borrowers.

Full textFrom the classic Esping-Andersen distinction among the three types of Welfare States that exist in the developed world we try to find the differences in the impact of a stronger supranationality on the Welfare States. For this purpose we select the Swedish case, as the Social Democrat Welfare State per excellence. Analyzing the institutions of the Swedish Welfare State we emphasize the importance of the trajectories of the creation of its welfare state to the weaker vulnerability when faced with the challenges of the European Union. The universality and the strong support of its population makes the Swedish Welfare State vulnerable, but in a lesser degree than other States in Western Europe. The beginning of the 1970´s was a difficult period for the countries of Western Europe. Faced with similar challenges, Sweden chose to follow a path that was directed towards the maintenance of its full employment compromise. This compromise of keeping the unemployment level lower than in other countries in Europe is still valid today.

The incomes of military servicemen are both wages and welfares. On the different orientations of the military servicemen’s incomes, the rate of wages is different. Which are depending on the solider who were recruited from the labor market or civil society. But,the functions of the military welfares are so similar between the different fixed positions of the military servicemen of the States. No matter the resources were provided from the States, markets, or civil society, the policies are focus on the honor of the soldiers or veterans, to maintain the livelihood of the soldiers' family, health cares, and the hazard management policies. The military welfares were provided for the soldiers to inspire the moral, duty, honor, and to improve the national security. This paper discusses the reform of the volunteer welfare institutions of R.O.C.. In 1949, after the civil war of China , the sovereign and military of R.O.C. withdrew from mainland China and stayed with Taiwan area. The old veterans were recruited from the community of mainland China, away from the original community and family. They had sacrificed their life for the national defense's security of ROC with low wage and encompassment welfares. When they retired, the VA of R.O.C. offer the honor and welfares institutions for their income maintenance and life care. The new generations of the military camp and the new veterans, got higher wages and facing the reform of the military welfares. On the first , the military servicemen's pensions, related to the wages system , had burden the public financing, and finally had reform the financing system to the partial funding system. On the hazards management of warfare, set the life insurance for 3.5 million to provide the external benefits on national defenses. On the soldier's family , the higher wage rate had substitute the functions of the subsidies ,and the new family care system are not constructed yet. On the veteran welfare, the new generations of veterans had limited on the ten years constraints, and be exploited the honor and the rights of VA welfare. Nowadays, the VA institutions are not fit for new veterans' needs and national defenses' manpower policy. This Paper suggests the policies must be reformed and take care about the new veterans' ture needs , but keep the quality of life care and income maintenance about the old veterans.

Child welfare issues have been growing continuously in the modern age. Child welfare institutions provide children and teenagers a platform to learn interactively for development and research, which creates the thinking ability to achieve the characteristic of self-respect, self-possessed, sentiment, friendship value, and the cultivation of social skills. The child welfare system and function development are emphasized in order to improve the development of children and teenagers, hoping to train them fit in and survive in the society in the future. Policies related to protection of children and youths are intent to prevent them from being abused or led astray for the premature mind and ability to judgment. While the establishment of protection of children and youths, the temporary alternative measures that provide proper shelter to them are necessary. Child and youths placement institutions are intent to provide places have stable growth, support, sage and reliable healing system for traumatized children and youths to heal and recover from past wound. The study adapted phone interviews as data collection method. Three child and youth placement institutions are phone-interviewed to realize the method of management of each child welfare institutions to interpret comprehension, interpretation, and knowledge of expansion to provide a reference for child welfare institutions in the future. The researcher suggested that prevention tasks are important because it helps reduce the numbers of children and teenagers being placed in service institutions. Also, the relevant laws and regulations ought to re-examined and re-evaluated for further consideration. Lastly, placement organizations should also equip with the ability to self-inquiry, self-awareness, and self-reflection so they are able to support the children and youths progress to the potential.

With an elderly society, low birth rate and low marriage rate, traditional family caring functions have been compromised. Partial disabilities due to post-acute attacks from chronic disease patients incur into even more needs for long-term caring. Institutional caring mechanisms have been normalized and legalized in recent years as a result of high concerns expressed by the authorities. With the regulations only demanding minimum levels of security standards and manpower, there are inevitably some circumstances less than ideal, even some practices that skirt around the law. With funding by the Ministry of the Interior for the induction of intelligent facilities in public buildings, a few institutes have applied for funding and have been renovated with improved caring facilities. This investigation is first based on the conditions of elderly welfare institutions and their use of intelligent facilities, acquired through relevant regulations and documents. The second part of the investigation includes actual cases of renovations, with on site observations and questionnaire summarization. The third part of the investigation incorporates common elderly welfare problems and proposes possible solutions for elderly welfare institutions. In the light of this might serve as a reference for post- inductions of intelligent facilities for elderly welfare institutions. The investigation is relayed in the following five chapters: Chapter One: constitute investigation motives, aims, scopes, contents, proposed research procedure, methods, process. Chapter Two: establish research theoretical framework. Summarize and analyze the cases, regulations and documents concerning induction of intelligent facilities in elderly welfare institutions. Chapter Three: the investigation is based on observations of elderly welfare institutions facilitated with intelligent facilities, questionnaires on the effects, obstacles, before vs. after comparison and recommendations. Chapter Four: verify the common problems concerning the induction of intelligent facilities, and propose the relevant solutions. Chapter Five: conclusion and proposal serve as a reference for post-inductions of intelligent facilities to elderly welfare institutions.

From the standpoint of basic human rights, government and society should share the responsibility of providing various welfare services to the disabled and ensure their opportunities for education, jobs and even basic survival. However, in the time of financial hardship for the government, to rebuild or purchase new buildings to facilitate the welfare institutions for the disabled will surely have impacts on other existing welfare spending. On the other hand, there are many public properties and buildings not utilized, wasting the government resources. How the government agencies can effectively push the reuse of the public deserted spaces for the welfare institutions, the current issues and the strategies for the future are the topics which are worth exploring and may well be the references for the government agencies. This study is based on the research methods such as data collection, case study and in-depth interviews and finds that the welfare institutions to be housed in the public deserted spaces should be community-based. To sustain itself financially and to avoid the management liability and pressure, the scale should not be too small. The role of the welfare institutions for the disabled is to assist the government, support the families, subside, create, profit and provide social education. The government should be responsible for the policies or the affairs beneficial to the people with much less resources, and create incentives for the private sectors to participate in the welfare business. Reuse the public deserted spaces can efficiently utilize and manage the public properties. However, the issues encountered during the remodeling process such as the structures of the site, wheelchair accessibility, building permits for the building expansion and permits for changes of building purposes are beyond these welfare institutions. To resolve these issues requires the coordination of the involving government agencies and the welfare institutions to be housed at the public deserted spaces. If the institutions to be housed at the public deserted spaces are service-oriented, they should be able to use the spaces without paying rents. If the institutions are for profits, the government agency managing the properties should collect rents to enforce a fair, efficient utilization and long-termed planning. Also, the institutions should think about the sufficiency of their staff trainings and marketing strategies for the whole year to maintain smooth and stable business running. This study proposed the following four proposals: 1.Establish a complete and open information network and set up a reasonable rental procedure so that the private sectors can locate the deserted spaces and reuse the spaces for the welfare of the disabled by renting. 2.Help the private sectors to push for the social services for the disabled. 3.While not compromising the public welfare and safety, modify the codes and laws involved to streamline the space reuse process. 4.Regarding the business model of the welfare institutions to be housed at the public deserted spaces, assess and evaluate not only the rental periods and the sizes but also the budget expenses and business strategies, hoping the institutions can be run stably and smoothly and maximize the benefits of space reuse.

In Taiwan, the structure of population gradually moves toward aging society. The health status and ability of elderly are different from normal people. Therefore, the problems of elderly care and living space are important regarding to security valued in the community. Taiwan is located on the hub of the typhoon in the Western Pacific. The summer and fall season each year often suffers by typhoons and tropical depressions. Due to climate change, extreme rainfall happened in recent years. Furthermore, flood areas increases and threaten to many senior citizens’ welfare institutions. However, most of the senior citizens’ welfare institutions cannot refuge by themselves. Furthermore, the elderly requires human assistance and sufficient time to get away although evacuation messages have received. Therefore, this research aims to analyze potential flood levels, make flooding potential investigation, and analyze the 50-year return period flood potential map regarding to the location of the senior citizens’ welfare institutions. Furthermore, case studies and site investigations are applied to understand the present serious problems of most welfare institutions in Taiwan, and propose classification method for risk analysis in flood of the senior citizens’ welfare institutions. Finally, the research proposes method and indexes to establish the emergency mechanisms and the countermeasures using the flooded water depth and the past flooded water records of the 50-year return period flood potential map. These proposed indexes include judged the index of hazard, the index of vulnerability by the building special, the building equipment and the evacuation of human.

The number of the disadvantaged prople in Taiwan is rising by year. They all have the demand of the resettlement of asylum, and the demand of care for both physical and mental problem. European countries and America usually provide “Green Care” to these vulnerable groups, which utilize horticultural plant and animal elements etc. combine with health care concepts, to increase their daily activities, social contct opportunities and keep them healthy. It is very suitable for social welfare organization in Taiwan. There has been little research about Green Care concerned social welfare organizations as their research objects, to understand how social welfare organizations implement Green Care and what achievement they obtain and what difficulties they encounter in Green Care process. Most researches are about the benefits brought from green care in different individual cases. Besides, farms are often used to provide green care by Care facilities in foreign countries. There are more and more applications in Taiwan as well. However, there are only little research about the mode of care farm operation. Therefore, the purposes of this research are as follow. First, to find out the green care situation of social welfare organization in Taiwan. Second, to understand the benefits and the potential difficulties comparing the organization with farm to organization without farm. Third, to go into the green care management strategy and the means to plight of social welfare organization. Fourth, to know the difference of green care operation management comparing different mode of Green Care farm. This research include two studies. Study one is collecting the news of green care social welfare organization and use content analysis on different social welfare organization、beneficial result and potential problem to build up different category. Study two is according to the result of study one and related references. It turns out that disabled persons’ organization has more opportunities using farm activities to give health care and develop farm work in order to protect them the right to participate in society and economic fairly. Therefore, I choose disabled persons’ organization with farm as my study object to interview deeply and compare different cases from the background of setting up farm, the operation of green care farm, the outcome of the farm. The result shows that the most mentioned effects are improvement of mental stress, physical function and more social contact chance. Furthermore, Green Care with farm has personal effect on returning to society, improvement of work ability, access to jobs opportunities more. Above individual benefits could respond to the outcome of second study that the motivation of disabled persons’ organization setting up farm is to increase activities space and provide job opportunities. In addition, most interviewed organizations attribute stable emotion, better physical function, improvement of intellecture and working ability and participation in society are to Green Care farm.On the other hand, Green Care has two effects for organization itself, operation benefit and finance benefit, usually mentioned by those news of social welfare organizations with farm. The self-sufficient operation and revenue feedback are the main benefit results. Furthermore, providing leisure and recreation activities and maintain environment ecology are common social and environment benefits from care farm. When it comes to the plights of social welfare organization implementing green care, lots of news are relate to Green Care with farm, referring to cases dealing with insufficient funds and ability constrains. Organizations in study two point out that constrains on legislation farmland policy. First, private social welfare organization can’t have the property of farmland. Second, organizations are very hard to build suitable farm environment to service objects because the policy of farmland only for agriculture use. Third, when disaster happens, social welfare organization can’t get financial subsidy due to the beneficiary is for normal farmer not for social welfare organizations. To deal with the financial plight the organization can cooperate with others, which will decrease the operation cost, or focusing on project having economic scale to make market segmentation and make the products price stable, these manner may help organization increase their revenue. As for the human resource plight, the organization will train staffs how to gardening and encourage them to improve care knowledge and skill of Green Care so that they can make up the lack of green care profession. Last but not least, the key manners for excuating Green Care are devided service objects several groups according to their physicial and mental condition、dividing workflow、design assisted tool、achievement feedback. The solutions to solve the plight that people participating in green care, are dispatching work which can solve the problem of mental and behavior, however, sometimes the suitable punishment also solutions as well. In addition, the organization will give rules to emergency for the purpose of precaution. According to the result, researcher suggests that the government shold conditionally lift the restriction of agricultural regulations. Organizations could diversify Green Care activities but still need at least one item as major production. Besides organization should encourage staff to participate training course or certification by various Taiwan Green Care associations, and design individual goal of Green Care. Finally, social welfare organizations should investigate what resource and capability they have. Organizations can consider managing a farm by themselves. Undertake the responsibility to raise the benefits for service objects or their own. However, there still are other choices that organizations can also consider to cooperate with leisure farm or private farm so that they don’t need to worry about the lack of resource.

In fact, recovered 454 efficacious questionnaires, the response rate is 89.7%. The data collected was analyzed by SPSS 20.0 for the inference statistical analysis. Result: The institutions of caregivers were female, whose age between 31-60 years. Level of education is university or above is 59.9%. Most of caregivers would see the doctor in the event of a sudden attack of sickness. Close to 60% of caregivers had low medication adherence. The average score of the five core competencies of the correct medication was 79.7. Analyzed by logistic regression, this study pointed out that when age is growing up and the groups haven’t disease, medication adherence is better. And using multiple linear regression, the higher level of education, using drugs or health food, chosen a doctor, fixed medical institutions for medical treatment and medical treatment is not repeated, who have good perceptions on safety medication. Conclusion: Through the study, perceptions on safety medication of the caregiver working in institutions are fair. Suggest institutions can hold drug safety seminar, provide health education leaflets or build e-learning, to increase caregiver’s medication adherence and raise perceptions on safety medication.

The research is based on economic theory to discuss governments’ operation regulation impact on scale economies of Taiwanese elderly welfare institutions. In aging era, deviate from the optimal size under limited scale, the institutions cannot provide appropriate services, and ultimately affect the going concern. Government and the industry effort to set the optimal scale of operation to meet both nursing care quality and financial balance, is the main social welfare issue this research intended to explore. This research analyzes total 95 observations from the 2004 and 2007 government’s evaluation, and the accountants’ financial statement audited on that two year. With one output two inputs Cobb-Douglas cost function model to estimate the economies of scale of the industry. The result reveals the industry’s labor cost has a semi-fixed nature. Its cost structure is similar to that of capital intensive industry; yet their operating scale is limited which the majority of the institutions operate at an inappropriately low scale. The larger institutions are more capable of increasing their return on bed, and thus to reduce their costs. The empirical results of this study may provide the competent authorities and institutions the following recommendations: policy formulation by the government agency may loosen the scale control of the beds. With the market mechanism, rational institutions will choose the most efficient scale of operation.

Taiwan has become an aging society in recent decades. The issues accompanied with an aging society are diverse and tremendous, which include problems of medication, caring, economy, leisure, and psychology, etc. The problems have gradually been concerned nowadays. The Senior Citizens Welfare Act was amended and released in 2012, in which the establishment standard for a senior citizens welfare institution (SCWI) tends to be stricter. Providing appropriate domiciliary care and services from a senior citizens welfare institution is of importance. It became one of the most critical issues for sustainability and management of a SCWI. This research project is mainly to investigate the service design and service quality of SCWIs. The research objective is threefold: (1) Generalize functional indices of SCWIs to locate indices for enhancement. (2) Employ VAHP to calculate the sequence of the service quality improvement indices. (3) Investigate the contradiction issues of service design of a SCWI by utilizing TRIZ approach. The research found the five most important indicators that managers emphasized in SCWIs as follows: (1) facilities practicality, (2) device security, (3) employee professional degree, (4) equipment effectiveness, and (5) staff initiation. The innovation rules and parameters were applied to solve the design problems. A number of possible solutions were derived through the inspiration of TRIZ contradiction matrix. Expert in-depth interview was introduced to validate the feasibility of the indices as well as design solutions for a SCWI.

The development of “welfare pluralism” is a product of the private sector.participating in social welfare. It is same in this country that private welfare groups grows rapidly right after the political discharge and the presentation of non-government policy Accordingly, funding-raising become competitive among private welfare institutions.The sustenance and development of these private institutions are affected due to the limit of government grant and the multiplicity and specialization of obtaining financial support. Therefore, the private institutions, especially the disabled ones, are seeking social resources by fund raising. This study uses the method of deep interview with the managers or coordinators responsible for fund raising activities in seven private welfare institutions. Based on the ground theory, a qualitative research is conducted to collect the information on fund raising programs and their strategies. The research findings show that the financial structure of the private welfare institutions for the disabled rely much on donation, which even involves them in operational crisis. Further analyzing the manager’s belief of fund raising, the public relation of the institution, and the role the institution playing, three models of action strategies of fund raising are constructed: Self-reliance, Business-oriented, and Dependence-trend. The institutions in the self-reliance groups do not depend on government grants for operation, but on donation from social resources. For fund raising, such institutions provide services to certain subjects, they have full time employees and many volunteers for fund raising, their activities are many and with flexible schedule, and their managers are not only active in developing new products and community services but also give reward for effective fund raisers. The second type is the business-oriented model. These kind of institutions serve only a certain type of the disabled. They have many professional workers and the full time or part time workers spend much time for fund raising, their fund is raised for certain service programs, and they can find supports from other departments within institutions. Since their finance is rare from government grants and other sources, they initiate business management and run another business. The third type of institutions can be classified as dependence-trend ones. As they rely much on government grants and donation, their financial condition will undoubtedly be affected by macro-economy. The competitors of these institutions are homogeneous organizations in seeking same resources. No one in these institutions are responsible for fund raising, only temporary mission group is organized for the assignment of fund raising which causes the other problem of staff allocation. The dependence-trend institutions are passive in raising fund and they do not have excellent record in this respect. Concluded from this study some suggestions are provided to government, to the welfare institutions and for the professional development of social work workers as follows: (A)To the government a. The government should take the part as a counselor by organizing only an advisory department to help the welfare institutions in the process of fund raising. Many administrative offices with different regulations will confuse the welfare institutions. b. With regard to the existing inappropriate regulations of fund raising, it is necessary to collect the opinion of professionals and experts for regulation revision. (B)To the Institutions a. The institutions should organize a mission unit with full time staff with different professional background for fund raising. The fund raising is therefore goal-oriented in response to the need of the society. b. To evaluate an institutional financial resources and fund raising policy is essential. The well-designed financial management and planning will assure an effective strategy and a feasible goal for long term fund raising. (C)For Professional Development a. Social workers in welfare institutions should not only develop their creativity and planning ability in practicing welfare programs but also update their knowledge in social work management. Thus, their fund raising programs can meet the requirement of their institutions and accepted by the public as well. b. Welfare institutions can make use of the media to present the speciality of their services and to reflect that they are in demand of fund support. In this way, the institutions will make known to the public and increase their donated fund, i.e. the effect of media. Though they can use their case subject as an appeal to the public, the ethic of a social worker should take into consideration at the same time.

The purpose of this research was to explore the process of initial person-centered planning for an institution for providing residential care. The research was conducted through action research, which included interviews, on the job training, implementing person-centered planning. The collected information analyzed by NVivo 10, and results were as follows: On the stage of preparing PCP: (a) Some members of service provider changed their attitude from the resistance to acceptance and even encouraged users to learn. (b) Understanding ISP should not fix to group curriculum framework. (c) Service users started to express their own expectations of life. (d) Service users and service providers affected each other. At this stage, the support from the higher-level staff member was highly helpful; and the main resistances come from stereotype of members of the service provider, and ISP could not act in concert with PCP. On the stage of implementing PCP: (a) some of members of the service provider changed their concepts because of active feedback from service users. (b) The service user's performance of language, communication skills, and decision making had progressed. At his stage, members of service provider played an important role to resolve the advocacy, poor memory difficulties of service users, as well as stereotype problems of members of service providers.

In recent years there have some serious fire incidence at welfare institutions. Most of the inhabitants of welfare institutions are the disadvantaged group in fire evacuation, and the casualty can be serious. The fire safety of welfare institutions has become a social issue, resulting in the use of performance-based design for fire safety. This study used computer simulation for evacuation and fire smoke analysis in case of fire at welfare institutions. This study evaluated the smoke control system that could provide sufficient escape route and evacuation time in case of fire. In the event of a fire often the air conditioning system is first turned off to prevent the smoke spreading through the air conditioning system. However, the design rules in many countries have made used of air conditioning ducts to exhaust smoke. In this study, Pathfinder was used to simulate the escape time for the nursing aides to assist the inhabitants egressing to a safe space. The longest time to escape from a room was taken to be the worst case. Fire dynamics simulator(FDS) was used to simulate whether the fire smoke has down spread a height that would affect the safe egress. There are two purposes of this study. One was the reasonable fire source growth speed that allow for safe egress. The research results found that in the case of no smoke exhaust and natural smoke exhaust in the bedroom, only slow fire growth would allow for safe evacuation. It is then a necessity strictly stipulate the fireproof grade of indoor furniture and decoration. This study has found that if air-conditioning was used for smoke exhaust it would then increase the fire safety. The simulation results show that medium fire growth rate would still allow for safe evacuation with smoke exhaust. The results show that it is feasible to use air-condition ducts for smoke exhaust, and would elevate the fire safe for the inhabitants dwelling in welfare institutions.
