This paper is the design for the welfare robot of apple artificial pollination by a survey for 25 elders' needs of Daegu-Gyeongbuk rural region. The results are summarized as follows. 1) In the apple farms of the region, most of farmers are the couples of 50 years thru 70 years to plant the apple trees only. The apple farm requires the senior farmers lots of painful works including their bone and muscle system problem to result in safety accidents. 2) For the aging progress of rural area, the senior farmers spend lots of labor hours and cost to do artificial pollination, a proper deletion of small fruits, and a speed spray, etc.. Most of them agree to the development of the welfare robot for an apple artificial pollination. 3) The survey results could be applied to the conceptual design in the users' point of view. Therefore, they are used as the important effects for the detail design and commercial design to develop the welfare robot for the rural seniors.

Rural houses are losing their original shape as they mimic the spatial composition of urban houses. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to extract the design elements needed for rural housing by applying Christopher Alexander's "A PATTERN LANGUAGE" to Standard Rural-House Design (SRHD). The scope and method of research was to compare and analyze the standard designs (SD) produced and distributed by the 'Korea Rural Community Corporation' from 2009 to 2014. The research result is summarized as follows. 1) The housing layout in the SD ignored the site conditions of various rural areas. 2) Most of the houses were not actively planned, considering that they contain various activities of rural life. 3) There was no room for children and the kitchen was planned to integrate the interior into a flexible space in the form of L.D.K. 4) There was no space plan that could be used as both a leasable annex and office space for the farming community. 5) Many small area plans were made because of the SD plan for couples only in 2014. Although the rural environment and living patterns were ignored in the SD, the diverse pattern language provided by the pattern language was developed as a SD element for rural houses, which is the most suitable housing plan for the farmers' livelihood pattern.

본 연구는 국내로의 혼인이주와 그 가정에 대한 연구로 국내로의 혼인이주의 추이와 현황을 살펴 본 후, 혼인이주자의 특성 및 혼인이주 가정의 문제와 대응방식을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 자료를 활용하였는데, 우선 통계청과 법무부의 나료와 그간 국내 선행연구의 2차 자료를 활용하였다. 그리고 본인에 의해 수행된 2004년 7월 국제결혼중매업체에 대한 인터넷조사와 2004년 3월부터 12월 사이에 수집된 서비스부문 이주여성 인터뷰 자료를 이용하였다. 이 연구의 주요 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1990년대 이후 우리 국민의 혼인이주보다 외국인의 국내로의 혼인이주가 증가하였고, 특히 중국교포를 위시한 외국인 여성의 혼인이주가 증가하였다. 둘째, 외국인 여성의 혼인이주는 90년대 초반에는 농촌 노총각의 배우자로 90년대 중반이후에는 도시 재혼자의 배우자로 선호되었다. 그리고 지방에서는 통일교를 통한 혼인이주가 많으며, 수도권에서는 국내입국을 위한 위장결혼도 많은 편이다. 셋째, 혼인이주 가정의 문제로는 가정경제의 어려움, 부부관계의 계급화, 그리고 서로 다른 기대차이를 살펴보았다. 넷째, 다른 외국인 주부에 비하여 중국교포 혼인이주 여성들은 국내에서 일자리를 쉽게 찾을 수 있으므로 가출이 더 용이하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 중국교포 여성의 혼인이주는 국가간의 노동이동의 범주로 파악될 수 있음을 지적하였다.
