강원지역 다문화수용성 결정요인에 관한 연구 : 접촉 경험, 정체성 인식 및 경제적 요인을 중심으로

초록

This study empirically examines the determinants of multicultural acceptance among residents in the Gangwon region in order to identify conditions for regional sustainability in an era of population decline and the consolidation of a multicultural society. Using data from the 2024 National Survey on Multicultural Acceptance, the analysis shows that positive contact experiences mediated through digital and mass media serve as a key driving force that enhances all dimensions of multicultural acceptance. In contrast, exclusive identity based on bloodline and perceptions of economic threat arising from resource competition function as strong structural barriers to social integration. In particular, the findings suggest that positive perceptions of the economic utility of migrants do not automatically translate into the formation of meaningful social relationships or the acceptance of universal values. This result highlights an important limitation of current multicultural policies in the Gangwon region. Accordingly, future policy should move beyond the quantitative expansion of physical contact and simultaneously promote strategic message framing through digital platforms and a redefinition of community boundaries that fosters a more inclusive understanding of citizenship. This study is meaningful in that it provides foundational evidence for building an integrated, evidence-based model that reflects the specific regional characteristics of Gangwon.
