Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the usage of child care community center and explore the needs for space and services through child-rearing mothers’ experiences about exchanges. For this, two focus group interviews were conducted with residents of apartments and multi-family houses (nine residents each) in Cheongju. Participants were mothers in their 30s and 40s of infants aged four years or younger. The results are as follows.: (1) Mothers had expectations about affective, informational, sociable, and instrumental aspects of exchanges among child-rearing mothers. (2) Mothers actually wanted to give and receive help, preferring to exchange help with neighbors over part-time care services. (3) Spatial needs for childcare community centers included plays, floor-seating, safety, facilities, division of areas, accessibility. (4) In relation to desired services and programs, mothers showed a strong need for affective (psychological counseling of parents, childcare counseling experts, psychological comfort of child-rearing mothers), informational (information magazines in child care community centers, parent education, father training), sociable (exchanges and self-managed activities of child-rearing mothers, Pumasi among child-rearing mothers), and instrumental (child development programs, donation and exchange of toys and books, talent donation) support. This suggested the need for a well-organized service plan based on the social support theory in order to revitalize child care communities.
