The purpose of this study was to investigate in the residence and the income preference and purchase satisfaction of Bakery Product Purchasers. The findings of survey showed that in general characteristics of respondents, Out of the total 1,235 people, 59.6% of them were women, 40.4% of them were men, so the number of females was slightly higher than that of males, and the number of consumers living in big cities was 53.0% and that of small & medium-sized cities was 47.0%. In their preference of bakery products, bakery products liked the most 'plain white bread'(56.5%), 'sandwich products'(26.0 %), 'naturally fermented bread and health bread'(24.5%), and 'cakes'(20.6%) and 'Bread and coffee, and beverages'(I7.2%) in order. In terms of income, they preferred 'naturally fermented bread and health bread' as income rose(p<0.001), and they preferred 'cakes'(p<0.001) and 'sandwich products'(0.001) as income went down. In bakery products satisfaction, bakery products were satisfied with its 'quality and taste'(M=3.76), 'freshness'(M=3.64), 'good quality of materials'(M=3.40), and 'functional products for sale'(M=3.31), and 'nutrients'(M=3.24) in order. In residential areas, both people in big cities in Seoul and small and medium sized cities considered the 'quality and taste'(p<0.05) and the 'freshness'(p<0.05) to be important.

The purpose of this study is to deduce key indicators in evaluating the pedestrian environment for the elderly in Busan, which has entered an aging society, and to propose policy improvement measures. The key indicators were selected based on prior research and surveys, and the effectiveness of those indicators were measured through evaluations conducted on three places which have the highest proportion of the elderly population in Busan. The summaries of analysis are as follow. First, the three places are hillslide residential areas, and areas of activity that the elderly have were very narrow due to the restrictions on their movement caused by slope. Second, the areas were filled with a number of illegally parked vehicles. And the degree of segregation of pedestrian and vehicle and the level of safety were very low. Third, the streets with steep slopes of the target site force the elderly to move vertically, and for this reason, the elderly are expressing difficulties in outdoor activities. Fourth, it was found that the target site lacked a space for relaxation during outdoor activities. The poor walking environment not only limit the essential and social activities of the elderly, but also adversely affects the health and quality of life of the elderly. In order to maintain the health of the elderly and improve the quality of life, actions should be taken to improve the walking factors that affect the movement and external activities of the elderly.

The purpose of this study is to examine major factors that affect patterns of living arrangements of older Korean noncitizens in the United States using the 1990 8% Public Use Microdata Sample(PUMS). In order to do so, I analyzed the effects of four factors including acculturation(English proficiency and Age at migration), economic circumstances(Personal Income and Supplemental Security Income: SSI receipt), health status(Mobility and Personal care limitation), and the ethnic community. The results show that acculturation and economic circumstances play an important role in determining the patterns of living arrangements among older Korean aliens, whereas the health status and the ethnic community do not show consistent effects. Regardless of marital status, the impact of age at migration is positively associated with solitary living of older Korean noncitizens, though, the effect of English proficiency show the opposite direction in accordance with marital status. That is, among nonmarried elders, those who cannot speak English are more likely to live alone. The case is reverse for married elders. The impact of economic feasibility is also positively associated with independent living arrangements. Those who receive SSI are much more likely to live apart from family, and elders whose annual personal income between $5, 001 and $10, 000 have the greatest propensity of solitary living-a large proportion of their income source is SSI. Individuals who receive SSI are also qualified to collect Medicaid, food stamps, rent subsidies, and other welfare benefits. In a sense, the economic feasibility provided by welfare benefits is the key determinant of independent living of older Korean noncitizens. Therefore, the recent welfare reform which denies legal aliens welfare benefits such as SSI and food stamps will severly affect the present living arrangements of older Korean aliens, and give economic burden to their family member The findings also show that there are significant differences within the elderly Korean Americans in terms of demographics, income, fertility, health status, and patterns of living arrangements by U.S. citizenship status. In particular, after controlling for age at migration as a proxy for acculturation, there is a statistically significant variation in living arrangements between elderly Korean noncitizens and naturalized citizens. For both theoretical and methodological reasons, future research on minority aging needs to investigate the concept of U.S. citizenship status for its impact on patterns of living arrangements among the minority elderly.

This study introduces trends on silver care implemented with the fourth industrial revolution technology, and discusses the use of digital technology for elderly health and rehabilitation by reviewing relevant literature to examine and present directions for future digital-based silver care commercialization. First, health smart home, which is a smart residential service available through digital technology or IT technology that supports independent living in your home, is available. Second, there are technical services using artificial intelligence(AI) and robots. Robots based on advanced intelligence can serve as an assistant for the health and rehabilitation of senior citizens by supporting services that enable the daily lives of senior, checking their health conditions, and high-quality medical care. For the commercialization of these silver care systems, information and services appropriate to the current situation, such as the physical ability and health status of the elderly, should be provided, and it would be desirable to gradually expand the use of essential technology to reflect the needs of the elderly in use so that the digital alienated.

악취는 사람의 후각을 자극해 심리적, 정신적 피해와 건강상의 피해를 주는 감각오염의 한 형태로 생활환경과 사람의 심리상태에 따라 악취에 대한 인식이 달라지는 특성이 있다. 최근 악취민원 경향을 살펴보면 과거 주요한 악취발생원이었던 산업시설과 축산시설보다 음식점, 세탁시설, 인쇄사 등 주거지역 주변에 위치한 시설에서 발생되는 악취로 인한 민원 건수가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세다. 이는 국민의 소득증가와 더불어 쾌적한 생활환경의 요구로 인해 지금까지 신경쓰지 않았던 생활환경 주변의 냄새를 악취로 느끼는 경향이 강해졌기 때문이다.

최근에는 실내공기질에 관한 관심이 매우 높아지고, 주거 공간의 재실자들은 좋은 실내환경에서 거주하고 싶은 기대감이 증가되면서 실내환경 개선을 위한 노력과 함께 그 중요성을 새로이 인식하고 있다. 특히, 인간이 실내에서 생활하는 시간이 하루 중 90 % 이상을 차지하며, 실내공기가 오염될 경우 쉽게 정화되지 않아 Sick House 등 재실자들의 건강을 위협하기 때문에 이에 대한 대책 마련이 시급하다. 본 연구는 실내공기 중의 주요 문제로 인식되고 있는 악취성 물질의 효과적인 제어를 위하여 광화학 반응이 적용되는 필터 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다.

우리나라노인들의 수명은 식생활, 의료, 위생 및 주거환경의 향상으로 계속 증가되고 있다. 수명의 증가는 노인의 건강에는 오히려 위험요인으로 작용하여 현실적으로 60세 이상 노인들의 2명중 1명이 질병에 걸린 것으로 나타났으며 많은 수의 노인들이 고혈압, 고지혈증, 당뇨, 관절염에 시달리고 있다. 그 중에서도 고지혈증은 심혈관질환, 특히 관상동맥질환의 중요한 인자이며 동시에 뇌혈관질환의 중요한 인자이다. (중략)

자동차의 주행에 의한 이산화질소(또는 부유 입자성 물질)의 환경영향평가는 인간의 건강과 생활환경의 보전의 관점에서 주거 등을 대상으로 하고 있다. 조사는 예측에 필요한 background 농도의 설정을 위해 현 상태의 농도파악과 예측에 사용되는 기상data의 설정을 목적으로 하며, plume식 및 puff식을 사용하여 이산화질소(또는 부유 입자성 물질)의 연평균을 예측한다. 예측결과로부터, 환경영향이 없거나 삭은 경우로 판단되지 않는 경우에 환경보전조치를 검토한다. 이러한 예측을 보다 손쉽게 하기 위해서 본 시스템을 개발하였다.

일반적으로 노동의 주무대인 작업장의 작업환경은 주거실내환경과는 다르다. 작업장에서는 유해물질을 다량으로 사용하거나 농축된 상태로 사용하므로 납과 수은, 카드뮴, 먼지 등 발암물질이나 인체에 유해한 물질에 노출이 용이함으로서 근로자들의 건강을 크게 위협하고 있다(김, 1999). 노동자는 작업환경에서 발암물질과 유해물질이 포함된 각종 먼지를 흡입하기 때문에 폐에 섬유증식을 일으키거나 폐기능을 저하시키는 직업병을 겪기도 한다. (중략)
