A Public Encounter in New York City
This book examines the essence of a particular personal experience within a New York City public space by using the method of a self-report.
"Korean "Comfort Women
Internet Use and Face-to-Face Social Interaction
Using time-use data collected in South Korea and the United States, this study examines what Internet users would do if they did not spend time online and whether these activities would include face-to-face social interaction, an important condition for a sense of attachment, physical and psychological health, and social integration. In contrast to most previous studies, we attempt to control for unobserved individual heterogeneity by either usin…
Immigration and social capital in a Korean-American women’s online community
This study of a Korean-American women’s online community, also known as the “MissyUSA” community, has incorporated the concept of social capital with an important topic within each of three major migration research areas—legal immigration status in assimilation, the retention of Korean culinary culture in cultural pluralism, and transnational plans in transnationalism. The central argument of this article is that this “MissyUSA” community creates…
Koreans in North America
Asian Values, Ethnic Identity, and Acculturation Among Ethnic Asian Wives in South Korea
Aging, neighborhood attachment, and fear of crime
This study attempts to examine the reciprocal effects between fear of crime and neighborhood attachment because aging is a critical factor in both discussions of fear of crime and neighborhood attachment (friendship, neighboring, social cohesion and trust, informal social control, and participation in neighborhood watch program). Using data from the Project on Human Development across 343 Chicago neighborhoods, this study tests the impact of agin…
The Quest to Understand Self-employment in American Metropolitan Areas
The mechanisms shaping a shift in intrametropolitan self-employment remain poorly understood. In response, this study aims to examine shifts in both central-city and suburban self-employment by integrating the changing forces of intrametropolitan economy and population with their economic interdependence within an entire metropolitan area. Using a change-score model, data collected over two time-periods (1980—90 and 1990—2000) are pooled. The ana…
Economic Incentive, Embeddedness, and Social Support
Much of the past research on rotating credit associations (RCAs) in the U.S. Korean community has been conducted in the context of Korean entrepreneurs' success in small businesses. By contrast, little has been known about the significance of RCAs in the lives of Korean immigrant workers. Based on a sample of Korean female workers at Korean-owned nail salons in the New York–New Jersey area, the first aim of this study is to address whether Korean…
Social disorganizations and crime rates in U.S. central cities
Little attention has been paid to the simultaneous impacts of urban economic change, in particular the effects of industrial restructuring from manufacturing to service industries in central cities and the suburbanization of employment, on both central-city social disorganizations and crime rates in central cities. This study first assumes that urban economic decline aggravates central-city social disorganizations (family disruption, and populati…
A Dynamic Approach to Population Change in Central Cities and Their Suburbs, 1980-1990
With the growing concern over the causal relationship between crime and population change, this study readdresses the importance of economic organization in studying population change in a metropolitan area. This study investigates the dynamic influences of internal and external factors on population change in either central cities or their suburbs. The units of analysis in this study are the 142 U.S. central cities and their suburban rings of Me…
Race/ethnicity, homeownership, and neighborhood attachment
Social Bonds and the Migration Intentions of Elderly Urban Residents
Contemporary Asian American Communities
Inequalities in nonfatal work injury
Assessing the Social Bonds of Elderly Neighbors
Starting from the rationale that elderly urban residents tend to be 'neighborhood-bound,' this study examines the relationship between age or aging and local social bonds (friendship, social cohesion and trust, informal social control, and participation in local organizations). Specifically, is the level of local bonding among elderly urban residents (age 65 and over) greater than that of the younger cohorts (17-35, 34-49, and 50-64)? Additionall…

The Quest to Understand Self-employment in American Metropolitan Areas
The mechanisms shaping a shift in intrametropolitan self-employment remain poorly understood. In response, this study aims to examine shifts in both central-city and suburban self-employment by integrating the changing forces of intrametropolitan economy and population with their economic interdependence within an entire metropolitan area. Using a change-score model, data collected over two time-periods (1980—90 and 1990—2000) are pooled. The ana…
