우리나라는 이미 여러 가지 면에서 본격적인 노령화 사회에 들어섰다고 볼 수 있다. 특히, 우리나라의 노령화는 다른 선진국에 비해 매우 급속히 진행되고 있다는 데 특징이 있는데［1］, 1996년 12월에 발표된 통계청 추계에서는 2000년의 노령화지수를 32.89로 예측하였으나, 실제로 2000년 조사된 바에 따르면 35.0이나 되어 그 오차가 무려 10％에 이르는 사실에서도 그러한 일면을 엿볼 수 있다.(중략)

본 연구는 여성 갱년기장애에 대한 홍삼의 효과를 조사할 목적으로 수행하였다. 홍삼의 효과는 자연적으로 갱년기 장애가 유도되었다고 생각되는 자성 노령흰쥐를 사용하여 홍삼 조사포닌 분획을 투여(20mg/kg,b.w./day) 한 후 그 효괴를 조사하였다. 홍삼조사포닌 분획은 노령쥐의 체지방 축적으로 야기되는 체중 증가를 다소 감소시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. (p<0.01). 노령쥐는 젊은 쥐에 비해 혈중 당, 총콜레스테롤, BUN 함량이 증가하였는데 조사포닌 분획의 투여는 혈당, 총콜레스테롤 함량 및 BUN 함량증기를 유의하게 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. (p<0.05, p<0.01). 노령쥐는 노령화에 따른 간기능의 저하로 GOT 및 GPT 활성이 증가하였으나 사포닌의 투여는 GOT 및 GPT 활성증가를 억제하여 간기능을 젊은 쥐의 수준으로 회복시킴을 알 수 있었다. (p<0.01). 노령쥐의 대퇴골은 사포닌투여와 관계없이 현저한 무게차이가 관찰되자 않았으나 대퇴골중 무기이온 Na+ 함량은 사포닌 투여시 약 2배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 사실로부터 홍삼 조사포닌 분획은 노령쥐의 혈당, 총콜레스테롤, BUN 함량증가를 억제하는 효과를 나타내며 또한 노령화에 따른 간기능 관련 생화학 지수를 개선하는 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 재난 리스크 평가를 위한 집계구 통계자료의 활용방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 인구통계자료, 주택통계자료, 전국사업체 자료는 재난취약성분석과 리스크 평가를 위한 필수 요소이다. 재난의 분석과 평가를 위하여 GIS에 구축하는 자료로는 인구의 총인구, 평균나이, 인구밀도, 노령화지수, 교육수준 등이 있다. 이 자료들을 공간정보로 구축함으로써 기존의 넓은 수준의 데이터를 활용하는 것 보다 정밀한 분석이 가능하다고 판단된다. 또한, 인구와 관련된 데이터뿐만 아니라 집계구 통계 자료는 주택의 건축년도와, 주택의 유형(다세대, 아파트, 연립, 영업용건물주택의 정보를 가지고 있다. 이는 건물의 경제적 평가를 위한 자료로 활용될 것이다. 또한 선정된 지역의 사업체를 분류하여 각 폴리곤의 주요 사업체를 조사하여 공간정보를 구축함. 구축된 공간정보는 리스크 평가를 위한 자료로서 활용될 수 있다 판단된다.

이 글은 강원남부 탄광지역의 쇠퇴와 인구사회학적 변동 양상을 검토하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 우선 탄광지역의 특성을 살펴보고 탄광지역이 쇠퇴하게 된 원인을 규명하고자 한다. 그 다음으로 지역사회에 나타나고 있는 산업구조와 인구구조의 변화를 중점적으로 살피고자 한다. 연구 결과 태백지역이 쇠퇴하게 된 직접적인 요인은 석탄산업 합리화 정책의 시행으로 볼 수 있다. 이와 함께 태백지역은 탄광산업이 지역성장이 유일한 원동력이었다는 사실 즉, 탄광산업의 쇠퇴는 바로 이 지역의 급격한 경기침체와 인구유출의 직접적인 원인이 되었음을 알 수 있다. 급격한 경기침체는 산업구조의 변화에서 잘 드러나고 있으며 인구유출 양상은 지역의 인구변화 추이에서 잘 드러나고 있다. 최근 폐광지역개발지원특별법에 의해 수립된 종합개발계획도 상당 부분 무산되거나 기약 없이 미뤄지고 있다는 점과 지역개발을 강원랜드 카지노에만 지나치게 의존하고 있는 문제점 등이 드러나면서 지역경기 침체와 인구감소 추세는 계속되고 있다. 탄광지역의 주민소득 증대는 물론 새로운 고용창출로 지역경제를 활성화시키는 보다 구체적이고 실질적인 발전 전략이 필요하다.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of population change and makes the population projection in the mountainous area of Korea. Mountainous areas are defined as local towns (eup or myeon) with forest area more than 70 percent of land area, population density less than 111 people per square kilometer, and plowland area less than 21 percent of land area. The population in mountainous areas has decreased dramatically, while the ageing index has increased over the past two decades. To make the population projection, the cohort-change ratios method is applied. The results revealed that a multitude of young people aged 10 to 39 moved to cities to find education and job chance and some people aged 40 and over moved to mountainous areas as the trends of urban-to-rural migration. This continuing trend will culminate in 680 thousand people in population and 1,035 of ageing index in 2030, which will lead to the unequal land development and inefficient forest management. Thus, policy makers need to develop stimulus plans to revitalize and stabilize the economy of mountainous areas.

The purpose of this research seeks to analyze the spatial variations in the sex age structure which have been shown to exist within the study atrea, the Kyonggi province in Korea. In this study it is desired to use the Age Structure Index developed by Coulson in order to describe thi sex age structure of each of 186 tracts that comprise the tracted portion of the Kyonggi province. The mechanics of computing the Age Structure Index are found in the equation describing a linear least squares trend line: y=a+bx. For each census tract, the percentage of the population in each age group(y) was plotted against the middle age of each age group(x). The a is a constant representing the value of y, when x equals zero. The b is the regression coefficient and is a measure of the angle of the slope of the least squares trend line. Thus the value of b is the Age Structure Index for each census tract. The major results of this investigation can be summarized as follows: The spatial distributions of sex age structures in the Kyonggi province are far from random. They have exhibited great regularity with the yonger sex age structures near Seoul and a sharp decline to the older sex age structures out in all derections towards rural region. The results of this investigation should have important general significance for the study of the Kyonggi province Age Structure Index is a flexible, operational definition shich allows sex age structure to be measured, mapped, and incorporated in a wide variety of methods of statistical analysis. Futurer, it has been demonstrated that sex age structure varies spatially within Seoul metropolitan finge and that this variation is relagfed to many other attributes of the population. Especially, Age Structure Index is strongly related to the variables-rate of population growth rate. density, rate of numbers of manufacturing, land price. At the same time, considerably more research is needed before a genmeral body of knowlege concerning sex age structure can be developed.

This study examines the characteristics of population ageing and the employment of aged workers in Seoul. Population indexes such as aged/child ratio and longevity degree are analyzed to identify the time-spatial changes and differentiation of population ageing by Gu. Job offerers, job seekers and employees related to the aged workers are also analyzed using data from Center of Job Placement for the Aged in Seoul. The results indicate that population ageing of Seoul has progressed faster than other regions in recent years. In addition, regional differences in tendency of population ageing is obvious even within Seoul. The percentage of unskilled laborer is much higher in Seoul compared with other regions. There is geographical differentiation in employment of aged workers among regions within Seoul. The employment opportunity of the aged is high in core economic areas of Seoul, while low in the outer residential area. This shows geographical mismatch between job offerers and seekers, which means that it is difficult for aged workers to get the jobs near to their residence. Accordingly, governmental support and intervention is needed considering their lower mobility.

The purpose of this article is to review the current states and future trends in the more developed countries(MDC), the less developed countries(LDC), and Korea. In 2009, the percentage of persons ages 65 and older in the world's population is 8%. However, the ratio of elderly to the total population is higher in MDC than LDC (and Korea). In future, population ageing will be a serious social problem in the LDC (and Korea). Population ageing process will occur at a much faster rate in LDC (and Korea). The reason is that the demographic transition in LDC (and Korea) has occurred in much shorter and recent periods. Though the ageing indices such as the old-age dependency ratio, aging index, and the median ages are higher in MDC, they will change rapidly in LDC. In addition, the oldest old population will increase in LDC than MDC. Therefore, when establishing the government policy related to population ageing, we need to consider the different population ageing process between in MDC and in Korea(or LDC).

The general public's interest in dementia has increased recently as dementia has become a social issue due to its rapid aging. Several dementia prevention and rehabilitation programs are being carried out at the dementia rehabilitation center and at the old welfare center depending on the number of dementia patients. In this paper, a 3 dimensional finger and motion search of the leap motion is utilized and combined with dementia preventive and cognitive rehabilitation programs at various facilities. We suggest technologies that can provide both fun and effective treatment and rehabilitation content for rehabilitation therapists. A variety of cognitive enhancement content is designed using finger tracking and configured to be recorded in the database for rehabilitation programmes to increase the effectiveness of management.

Recently, various industries have appeared which are applied ubiquitous technology. Particularly, health and medical fields, have been focused as future's industry, have been combined with ubiquitous system. This is what we called' u-Health industry. Korean government has encouraged local governments to develop specialized high value-added industries along each local's circumstance. According to the policy, I had an assumption that u-Health industry is Chungbuk province's specialized high value-added industry and studied marketing strategy for the point of penetration into markets. I presented STP strategy for international markets. This strategy referred to developed countries' aging index and based on Modigliani's life cycle hypothesis. Finally, considering none of u-Health has been released, I presented strategies of marketing mix to be utilized when u-Health items march into the markets.
