This study started by examining 24 newly-built elementary schools in Sejong City with regard to their present conditions of in-between space. After categorizing the space according to its spatial composition, 5 schools were selected and analyzed in relation to the current status and frequency of use of their in-between space. Among the (other schools, the analysis gave the following results: 1) There was much higher usage of the in-between space for rest/play than for learning, which suggested that more rest/play area and apparatus should be provided. 2) Piloti areas were preferred, and a greater number of activities took place in these places than in the adjoining open areas. 3) When the in-between space was combined with a passage (as in the case of E2 and E3), a separation must be provided in order not to interfere with the rest/play activities. 4) In planning the in-between space, priority should be given to activities over landscape purposes. 5) Diverse and easy access to the space must be planned, particularly as the main entrance is not directly connected to the space. Entry at the end of an adjacent building could be a possible solution.

The purpose of this study was to conduct pan play counseling that contains Korean cultural characteristics to see if it affects college students' anxiety reduction in coronavirus situations. Counseling was conducted for 40 minutes once a week. The associations of participants were recorded for each session. The score of anxiety test decreased in the participants' pre-and post-anxiety tests. The effectiveness of pan play counseling was verified. Case analysis applied phenomenological research method. Structural decisions through case analysis were in the order of regression, expression, differentiation, and integration. In the results of case analysis, participants feel confused through encounters in the early stages and regress unconsciously. Emotions of negativity that could not be erupted in the expression structure appear as consciousness, and the participants awaken. Participants expressed emotions such as fear, anxiety, loneliness, anger, and irritation. Consciousness of the unconscious causes a transformation of ego. The ego gains discernment as the great drama emerges from the differentiated structure. In other words, it builds confidence. The goal of counseling is to reinforce the ego, realizing the potential to overcome anxiety. In the last integration's structure, a wedding, a baby, and a old wise man appeared, showing that a transformation took place. In the results of this study, it was verified that pan play counseling has a healing effect.

With the popularity and the advanced graphics hardware technology of mobile devices, various mobile applications that help children with physical activities have been studied. This paper presents SandUp, a mobile application that guides the play of building sand castles using artificial intelligence and augmented reality(AR) technology. In the process of building the sandcastle, children can interactively explore the target virtual sandcastle through the smartphone display using AR technology. In addition, to help children complete the sandcastle, SandUp informs the sand shape and task required step by step and provides visual and auditory feedback while recognizing progress in real-time using the phone's camera and deep learning classification. We prototyped our SandUp app using Flutter and TensorFlow Lite. To evaluate the usability and effectiveness of the proposed SandUp, we conducted a questionnaire survey on 50 adults and a user study on 20 children aged 4~7 years. The survey results showed that SandUp effectively helps build the sandcastle with proper interactive guidance. Based on the results from the user study on children and feedback from their parents, we also derived usability issues that can be further improved and suggested future research directions.
