최근 과학기술의 사회적 역할이 강조되며, 고령화 대응 과학기술에 대한 관심도 증대하고 있다. 특히, 고령화 관련 연구를 수행해온 기존의 과학기술영역은 현대 노인들의 요구를 충족시켜주기에 한계가 있는 등 새로운 과학기술의 발전방향성을 제시하기 위한 연구의 필요성이 증대하고 있다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우 고령화 대응 R&D를 총괄할 컨트롤 주체가 부재하며, 아직까지 관련 연구가 일부 영역에 편중되어 있다. 이에 본 연구는 WoS에서 제공하는 서지정보를 이용하여 키워드 네트워크분석을 수행함으로써, 고령화 대응 과학기술 분야의 지식구조를 국가별, 기간별 비교분석하였다. 분석결과, 최근 10년간의 연구동향이 직전 10년간의 연구동향과 비교하였을 때, 과학기술의 사회적 역할을 강조하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 일본과 독일, 그리고 우리나라 연구동향을 비교분석한 결과, 우리나라의 경우 노인의 사회적 지위 및 삶의 질 등, 그리고 과학기술의 사회적 역할에 대한 연구가 상대적으로 늦게 나타났다. 위 분석결과를 토대로 향후 우리나라의 고령화 대응 과학기술 R&D 추진 방향에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다

A sudden increase of old people's free urban railway transportation resulted from the acceleration of aging trend causes the chronic deficit. As continuous deficit caused by the free urban railway transportation of old people is expected, a fairness problem about the fare system of using public transportation is issued because only the urban railway provides free-rides to them, which is contrast to bus-riders paying full payments. Therefore, the study intends to draw an alternate to solve the problem of the free urban transportation uses by calculating an appropriate fare ratio between the two transportation modes, which is expected to alleviate the fairness issue between the urban railway and the bus.

This study was purposed to examine the effect of the parental care burden on the labor force participation of the middle aged and older women. For this, this study used 2,125 samples aged from 50 to 70 years old that were extracted from 1st and 2nd wave of the Korean Retirement and Income Study(KReIS). In order to examine the causal relationship between two variables, Generalized Estimating Equation(GEE) and Multi-nominal Regression analysis were performed. The results showed that there was a positive effect of the parental care burden on the labor force participation of the middle aged and older women. However, this effect was limited only to the employment to the unpaid family workers. In addition, the effect was varied according to the level of caring time to the old parents. Based on that, several policy and practical implications were suggested.

Out of the OECD countries, Korea is showing the fastest growth of elderly population. Taking into account the rate of increase of the elderly and average lifespan, we can deduct that the future society will be an elderly society . Therefore, the market in Korea targeted to this group will quickly increase into a large market. Leading nations already into the elderly society , have actively pursued studies into silver generation product design and compared to these countries, Korea is far behind them. There is an immediate need for a detailed overall study on the design of products used daily by the elderly, This study has based its focused on the elderly society and silver generation products and was accompanied by thorough interview research method through questionnaires. The result showed that the Korean elderly were very aware about silver generation industry. However, they Pointed out that there are many Problems regarding silver generation products. Therefore, a need for a new design reflecting more of the lifestyle of the elderly is required. Also, there is an immediate need for development of more comfortable products and a well-structured system that enables easy access to these products.

의료기술과 생활형편의 향상에 의한 평균수명의 연장으로 우리 나라 노인 인구는 전 인구의 7$\%$를 넘어섰다. 이른바 고령화 사회가 된 것이다. 이처럼 노인 인구수가 급증하면서 눈에 띄게 늘고 있는 노인병 중의 하나가 당뇨병이다. 보고에 따라서는 20세에서 44세 사이의 연령대에 비해 65세 이상의 연령에서 10배나 더 높은 유병률을 보인다. 당뇨병이 있으면서도 노인이기 때문에 진단을 받지 않고 있는 경우를 합하면 더 늘어날지 모른다.

Recently in Korea, the percentage of the population that is elderly has been increasing rapidly because of lower national birthrates, improvements of medical technologies and techniques, and improved diet. The trend toward an aging population has exceeded the capabilities of the existent Korean welfare system and has caused economic problems such as a lack of new jobs. The government's policies in welfare and infrastructure are insufficient. The fire-fighting administration provides special services for the elderly, including "silver ambulances." In addition, using modem technology, the administration is working on emergency contact devices for the elderly in case of accidents. The aim of this paper is to analyze the services provided for the elderly and to examine improved solutions for the fire-fighting administration.

현재 우리나라 노인복지정책은 도시노인 중심으로 집중되어 있어, 농촌지역 노인은 또 한번의 소외와 어려움에 직면해 있다. 이러한 농촌의 고령문제는 단순히 노인문제로 그치지 않고, 농촌의 존폐를 가르는 심각한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 침체된 농촌사회에 활력을 불어넣기 위한 사업으로 농촌진흥청은 지난 1993년부터 노인생활지도마을 육성사업을 실시하여, 농촌노인의 역할개발과 건강하고 보람 있는 노후생활을 보낼 수 있도록 하였다. (중략)

우리나라의 평균 수명이 77.5세로 지난 20년새 8.4세가 늘어난 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 고령화 사회의 진입은 저출산 문제와 맞물려 우리나라의 산업전반에 큰 영향을 끼치고 있으며, 특히 노령화에 따른 주거의 변화가 빠르게 이루어질 전망이다. 절대 평균수명(2005~2010년)으로 세계 제일을 자랑하는 일본의 경우 '유료 노인홈'이나 '공동간호형 특별보호 노인홈' 등 다양한 주거시설을 채택, 고령화 인구의 유입을 꾀하고 있다. 본지에서는 日經아키텍쳐에서 "고령자 복지시설의 트렌드가 하루가 다르게 변한다"고 진단하고 '고령자 주거의 바람직한 모습'을 제시한 특집 '고령자 주고'를 통해 일본 실버주택의 현주소를 점검해 본다.
