지역사회 주거돌봄의 상호협력적 제도형성 : 서봄하우스 사례

초록

This study investigates how an community-based care-housing model emerged and operated through collaboration between a social economy organization and a local government in the absence of established institutions. Focusing on Seobom House in Mapo-gu, Seoul, we conducted a qualitative single-case study combining in-depth interviews, document analysis, and participant observation during 2023-2024. We identify five mechanisms that jointly enabled model formation and early stabilization: (1) an institutional void that loosened path dependence and created design latitude; (2) embedded social capital trust, reciprocity, and local networks accumulated through the Seongsan community movement; (3) collaborative governance among the social economy, local administration, and health-welfare providers from problem framing to operational coordination; (4) institutional bricolage that recombined existing policy fragments and assets; and (5) legitimacy acquisition through early outcomes including operational stability and resident satisfaction with mutual care practices. These findings articulate an emergent collaborative model under weak institutionalization and suggest that the interplay among institutional voids, social capital, bricolage, collaborative governance, and legitimacy is pivotal for local institutionalization of service-integrated housing for elderly.
