The purpose of this research is to examine ways to improve the quality of life of elderly people living alone in urban areas by identifying their stress, social support, and quality of life as well as analyzing the relationships between these factors. In this research, a questionnaire survey was conducted for approximately two weeks including 232 elderly people aged 65 years and above who were using 10 senior welfare centers in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions. The results of the analysis based on the collected data showed that of the stresses experienced by elderly people living alone in urban areas, the stresses of health, family, and psychological and social stresses had negative effects on social support and quality of life. Also, it was found that the social support of elderly people living alone had positive effects on the quality of life. Additionally, it was found that social support had a mediating effect in the relationship between stress and quality of life of elderly people living alone in urban areas. In other words, social support plays a buffer role in enhancing the quality of life regarding health, family, economy, and psychological and social stresses. This research has significant implications in that it was conducted on elderly people living alone, since elderly people living alone are not only under more stressful circumstances in a vulnerable environment than other seniors but also their quality of life is much lower. The implications of this research are that, from a social point of view, these elderly people living alone should no longer be neglected and that differentiated policy interventions for elderly people living alone is required.

홈 네트워킹(home networking)이란 용어는 가정(home)과 장비들 간의 통신이 가능하도록 하는 망구성(networking)이란 두 가지 용어가 합쳐진 말이다. 가정에 있는 모든 장비들을 연결해 서로 통신할 수 있도록 함으로써, 가족 구성원이 현재 위치에 관계없이(가정 내의 위치 또는 가정 밖의 위치에 무관하게) 가정 내 장비를 제어하거나 통신할 수 있도록 해주는 기술이다. 예를 들어, 거실에 앉아서 잠자리에 든 아이들 방의 불을 끈다거나, 외출하다가 도시 가스 밸브를 열어놓은 것이 생각나면 휴대폰으로 가스차단기를 작동시키는 등 일상생활에 즉시 적용할 수 있는 기술이다[1].
