ABSTRACT

This study explored the essential meanings of experiences that married immigrant women living in rural communities have in their community participation process and analyzed the situations and types of their community participation in order to support immigration women’s community participation and develop strategies for social welfare by type of community participation. For these purpose, we analyzed story outlines, meanings, types and situations of community participation among married immigrant women who had been over 5 years since their immigration. According to the results of this study, the meaning of married immigrant women’s community participation was “Recognize myself as the pioneer of my life and participate in social activities continuously.” In the results of analyzing the types of participation, the subjects were classified into ‘self‐directed growth type,’ ‘self‐content type,’ and ‘social support expectation type.’ The results of this study are expected to be helpful to understand the life of married immigrant women in rural areas not as ‘individuals’ otherized in a foreign country but as ‘participants’ of community that are encountered naturally in daily life, and to develop community‐level services suitable for such women.
