This study aimed to explore how the Korean people accept refugees as members of the local community and Korean society. Previous research indicated that factors contributing to positive attitudes towards refugees differ from those that induce negative attitudes, which motivated the current study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 individuals who had ongoing interactions with refugees. By identifying the conditions necessary for accepting refugees as residents of the local community, this study suggests policy approaches to improving attitudes towards refugees: a) raising intercultural awareness and b) supporting refugee settlement and integration.
