연구개발 지원산업은 연구개발 활동을 직·간접적으로 지원하는 산업을 의미한다. 이러한 산업에 대한 개념화는 연구개발 활동의 전문화(professionalization), 분업화(division of labor)가 진행되고 있음을 의미하는 동시에 연구개발체제의 유연성 제고 및 고도화, 효율화가 이루어지고 있음을 나타내고 있다. 우리의 경우 (과학기술혁신을 위한 특별법) 제 15조 등을 통하여 연구개발 지원사업에 대한 특별지원제도의 시행을 명시하고 있으나 현재까지 연구개발 지원사업자를 지정·육성하기 위한 기본현황 파악이나 분석이 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 본고는 이러한 수요를 반영하여 국내에서의 연구개발 지원산업에 대한 수요를 중심으로 실태를 파악 ·분석하는 동시에 산업지원 육성방안을 제시하고 있다. 국내 연구개발 지원산업의 규모를 추정해 보면 97년 현재 약 3,000억원에서 4,000억원의 규모로 나타나며, 이중 기술정보서비스업이 약 27.0%, 연구장비 및 시험 ·평가 ·검색 ·분석업이 약 38.4%, 연구개발 설계·자문업 등 기타사업이 34.6% 로 나타나고 있다. 연구개발지원 기능은 시험·검사 기능과 기술정보제공 기능이 대부분을 차지하고 있고, 전자의 경우는 내부처리의 비중이 높고 후자의 경우 외부의 전문기관을 이용하는 비중이 높게 나타나고 있다. 특히 기업이 연구개발활동 수행시에 필요한 지원기능을 외부에 위탁할 경우에 느끼는 애로사항은 첫째, 외부 전문위탁기관의 부족 및 정보 미흡이 가장 크고, 둘째, 전문기관의 해외정보력·경쟁력 부족이 다음이며, 공공기관의 지원기능이 미흡하다는 애로사항에 대한 비중이 상대적으로 낮게 나타나고 있다. 연구개발 지원산업을 특별지원·육성하기 위한 기본관점은 특별법의 시행령을 구체적으로 실행하기 위한 시행계획의 수립과 연구개발 지원산업의 육성 시책의 추진 절차의 결정, 사업자 선정, 지원 사항 등으로 제시될 수 있다. 먼저, 기업 연구개발활동의 고도화·효율화를 위해 연구개발 및 기술개량에 필요한 업무 중 기술정보서비스와 연구시험·평가·검사·분석 그리고 중소기업 기술집약화를 지원하는 사업 등을 연구개발 지원산업으로 범위를 정할 필요성이 있다. 다음으로 연구개발 지원사업자를 별도로 선정·인정하는 방식으로 지원해야 할 필요성이 있다. 기존의 산업 지원방식으로는 연구개발 지원기능이 주된 활동으로 인정받을 수 없으므로 국내 연구개발 지원기능의 발전에 한계가 있다. 따라서 취약한 여건을 감안하여 연구개발 지원산업을 육성하지 않게 되면, 각 분야별로 민간사업자의 참여가 거의 이루어지지 않거나, 참여해도 연구개발 지원 기능의 발전보다는 기존의 사업이 주가 될 가능성이 크다. 연구개발 지원 사업자의 지정 지원방식과는 별도로 이루어질 수 있는 지원활동에 대한 지원은 기업회계처리상의 문제와 일관성이 있는 시책추진 및 효과를 기대하기 어렵기 때문에 사전에 동산업의 참여 자격·능력을 갖춘 사업자에 대해서는 제한없이 참여할 수 있도록 Positive System으로 추진해야 할 것이다. 그리고 연구개발 지원사업자에 대한 지원내용을 조세·금융 등 직접적 지원과 타 제도와의 연계지원 그리고 정부구매 등 시장지원 등이 아울러 다양하게 추진될 필요가 있다.

Objective : The typical decline in function due to aging includes limitations in vision, hearing, cognitive function, and activities of daily living. Therefore, this study evaluated the mediating effect of cognitive function on the relationship between vision and hearing and activities of daily living. Methods : The participants in this study were 36,767 persons from the long-term care database on older adults provided by the National Health Insurance Sharing Service. The extracted variables were: (i) independent variables: visual and hearing; (ii) dependent variables: basic and instrumental daily living activities; and (iii) mediator variables: cognitive function. Regression analysis was performed evaluate the mediating effects of the extracted variables. Results : Cognitive function showed a mediating effect of 30% on the relationship between vision and basic daily life activities and 42% in the relationship with instrumental daily life activities. The mediating effect was 50% in the relationship between hearing and basic activities of daily living, and 53% in the relationship with instrumental activities of daily living. Conclusion : Prevention programs for functional decline due to aging are in progress in Korea. Based on the results of this study, establishing a prevention program would help promote successful aging.

Aim: This study investigated the association between leisure activities and cognitive impairment in Korean community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Among participants of the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans, 10,055 (male=4,277, female=5,778) were included in this cross-sectional study. To better identify the association between late-life cognition and leisure activities, individual leisure activities were categorized into 3 types including productive, consumptive, and unclassified activities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between participation in leisure activities and cognitive impairment when controlling for possible covariates evidenced by previous studies. Results: Male participants were more likely to be cognitively impaired than female ones with significant differences in all the covariates. After controlling for confounding variables, involvement in productive leisure activities was found to be associated with cognitive function in both male and female groups, along with age, educational level, depressive symptoms, subjective hearing problems, and occupational status. Conclusion: Involvement in productive leisure activities might be associated with decreased risk of cognitive impairment in later life. Appropriate strategies to encourage older adults to participate in productive leisure activities should be established to help them maintain their cognitive function.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the housing tenure choice decisions of older households, with focus on the activity constraints of the householders. For analysis, the probit model based on the data of the householders over 55 years of age from the 2015 KLIPS data was implemented. The research findings indicate that the ownership choice probability decreases when the head of the household has activity or social activity constraints. If there is an activity restriction, it is considered that the possibility of self-residence will be low due to the increase in medical expenses, the possibility of participation in economic activities will be low, the possibility of early retirement will be high, and the income will decrease. Therefore, if the head of the household has a personal or social activity constraint, such case is more likely to be categorized as falling under the poor residential group. This result suggests that the activity constraint can be utilized as a useful index for the housing welfare policy considering physical vulnerability.

The present study examined whether the relation between relative handgrip strength and cognitive function varied by paid employment status and participation of social activities among Korean older adults. A total of 3,376 Korean adults aged 65 or older were drawn from the 2016 Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). Weighted hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine moderating effects of paid employment status and social activities on the relation between relative handgrip strength and cognitive function. After adjusting for covariates, results show that relative handgrip strength has a positive association with cognitive function. Both paid employment status and social activities have positive associations with cognitive function and moderate the relationship between relative handgrip strength and cognitive function. These significant moderating effects show that participating in paid employment and social activities buffer against the effect of lower handgrip strength on cognitive function. Findings from the present study highlight the significant role of active aging in older adults'cognitive function. Implications are discussed in a cultural context.

The subjects of this study were 463 people aged 65 and older in the senior welfare center in Seoul and Gyeonggi. The purpose of the study is to analyze the differences between physical fitness factors and cognitive functions, activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and psychological variables in the participation of the elderly in physical activities. Data ware analyzed by frequency analysis, reliability analysis, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation analysis, with SPSS 25.0 statistics program. The results of this study are as follows. First, there are statistically significant differences in physical fitness, cognitive function, activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and psychological factors such as depression and quality of life, depending on whether the elderly participate in physical activity. There were statistically significant differences in physical fitness, cognitive function, ADL, IADL, depression and quality of life, depending on the frequency of participation of older people in physical activity. A statistically significant difference in physical fitness appeared depending on the participation time of the elderly who participated in physical activity. Second, a study of the correlation between physical fitness and cognitive function, ADL, IADL, depression, and quality of life revealed a correlation for most factors. Based on these research results, it is necessary to develop a systematic arbitration strategy including physical activity for the successful aging of the elderly and the independent life of old age.
