Micro-data from The 2009 Korean National Multi-cultural Family Survey are analyzed. Results reveal that the ethnic compositional environment exerts an independent effect on social activities and the type of adaptation, apart from socioeconomic and demographic variables. The level of social activities ceteris paribus rises substantially among foreign wives who live in an area with a large population of transnational couples. However, increased accessibility to and interaction with other foreign wives tend to lead to more ‘isolated’ type of adaptation rather than ‘assimilation’. These effects tend to be stronger when a foreign wife lives in non-metropolitan area. It is also found that higher proportion of the same ethnic population in the residential area is likely to be associated with the ‘isolated’ type of adaptation among foreign wives.??? ????????? 2011??? ??????(?????????????????????)??? ???????????? ????????????????????? ????????? ?????? ????????? ?????????
