The purpose of this study is to review a good sample for a healthy city to adapt its strategy. People has interested in the urban environment and their health in the region with a step-up in income and the improvement of living conditions. They has realized that urban environment is closely related to their quality of life, concentrated on development of clean city and healthy city from the point of urban planning. The movement of healthy city has been spread out from Europe on 1986, and WHO(World Health Organization) has been supporting the practical work to improve upon the physical or social condition on each regional level. The policy of healthy city has promoted centering around each local government which is made up of networking with others globally to interchange informations. This study reviewed a successful case of Kobe city in detail and will provide further useful insights into planners in building appropriate policies.

최근 삶의 질이 향상된 것과는 다르게 만성질환을 겪게 되는 사람의 수는 점점 증가하고 있으며 만성질환은 꾸준히 관리해야 하는 질병이지만 일반 사람들이 스스로 모든 것을 관리하면서 꾸준하게 동기를 부여하기에는 쉽지 않다. 본 논문은, 이에 관해 관심을 가지며 사람들이 항상 사용하는 핸드폰에서 쉽게 개선을 할 수 있는 식습관을 계획하고 실천할 수 있는 동기를 부여하며 최종적으로 사람들의 식습관을 개선함과 동시에 건강개선도 할 수 있는 애플리케이션을 제작했다.

노후주거시설의 개보수의 필요성이 대두 되고 있으나 관련법규의 제약에 의해 내 외부 미관수선 정도에 그치고 있는 것이 현실이다. 그래 조금 나은 동선과 공간으로 수선시 법을 위반하여 불법 건축물로 낙인되어 지는 것이다. 경제적인 여유가 없는 노령층등 사회적 약자가 거주하는 공간은 더욱 더 열약하여 화장실, 주방, 수평이동 통로, 승강기등의 편의시설과 붕괴, 침하, 화재, 폭발, 오염등의 안전을 위협하는 위험요소의 제거등이 당장 필요하여도 미봉에 그치는 경우가 다반사이다. 또 이러한 노후 건물의 개보수는 신, 개축 보다 어렵고 비용도 많이 들면서 그 효과도 미미한 것이 사실이나 당장 신, 개축하기에는 관련 법규에 저촉되거나 주변 여건에 부합하지 않아 실시 할 수 없는 경우가 많아 이를 개선하고 합리적인 롤 모델을 만들고 필요하다면 관련법령도 정비할 필요가 있는 것이다. 노후되지 않아도 현시점에서 생활의 불편함을 느껴 개선할 필요가 있는 경우도 관련 법규의 유연함이 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 노후 주거 시설 및 현실 여건에 맞지않는 주거 시설을 보다 쉽고 합리적으로 개 보수할 수 있는 여건이 조성되도록 관련 건축법령의 개선, 또 경제적 여유가 없는 저소득층의 개보수여건을 개선할 수 있는 정부지원방안, 이러한 노후 주거시설의 개보수가 부동산 시장에 어떠한 영향을 초래할 수 있는지를 기존 연구들과 비교하여 합리적인 방안을 도출하고저 함.

Air pollution due to vehicle exhaust gas is considered to be a main contributor to the issues of transportation & environment. Furthermore it is raising concern over life quality and public health and is also perceived as a global issue. This research aims at providing helping hands for both central and local governments to set up and promote efficient atmospheric quality improvement policies, with the help of the travel demand forecasting model and GIS. More specifically, it tries to produce the overall emission level with time and space-based high resolution framework. This research, based on bottom-up approach reflecting vehicular traffic characteristics, suggested an improved approach to estimating emission level, by using a traffic model with a total of vehicular mileage revised by surveyed value and atmosphere model. Summing up, using the method proposed, the improvement of the reliability of the emissions inventory from the mobile pollutions sources is expected by the proposed integrated paradigm of transportation and atmosphere modeling approach as a new alternative.

This study aims to examine the moderating effects of band circuit training for the mortality improvement of elderly women to provide an effective exercise moderating program for the enhanced quality of life of the elderly. To achieve the purpose of this study, the moderating effects of 8 weeks of band circuit training in the Senior Fitness Tests (SFT) and Sitting Rising Tests (SRT) of elderly women ages 65 and older in Y city were examined and the following results were gained. The functional fitness of elderly women according to the moderating effects of band circuit training (sitting down in a chair and standing up, lifting 2 kg dumbbells, walking in place for 2 minutes, sitting in a chair and bending forward, hand holding behind one's back, walking back and forth for 2.44 m) and the Sitting Rising Test (SRT) displayed statistically significant interaction effects among measurement times and groups and positive improvements were shown in the test group after band circuit training moderation. These research results show that band circuit training moderation has a positive effect on functional fitness and SRT, which are associated with the mortality rate of the elderly, and thus it can be applied as an effective exercise moderation program for the improvement of quality of life through the mortality improvement of the elderly.

This study was conducted to identify differences between qualities of health related to quality of life according to the general characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis patients. Overall, 275 patients who were older than 19 years, drug-maintained for over 4 weeks from Jan 13th to Feb 12th and diagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis at C university hospital participated in this study. Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffe's-test and multiple regression. The results of the present study revealed that Age (p=.008), Job (p<0.001), Number of comorbidity (p<0.001), Surgery for Ankylosing Spondylitis (p=0.002), Disease duration after onset symptom (p=0.010), Disease duration after diagnosis (p=0.027), Alcohol drinking (p=0.002) and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p=0.049) were meaningful factors to the quality of health-related life for ankylosing spondylitis patients, and multiple regression analysis showed that level of education, income, comorbidity and alcohol consumption was a significant variable. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that, to improve quality of life, arbitration programs for improving general characteristics and considering demographic social characteristics and clinical features need to be provided. Therefore, it is expected that the results of this study would be used as actual grounds to develop integrated arbitration programs.

Purpose: This study was aimed to develop a new vaginal applicator(Shin's Applicator) for 2-channel high-dose rate vaginal brachytherapy to evaluate uniformity of surface dose, and to present 3-dimensional dose distribution of the applicator. Methods: Shin's Applicator was inexpensively constructed using human soft tissue equivalent acrylic bar. We evaluated dose uniformity along the applicator surface using film densitometer and performed vaginal intracavitary brachytherapy after insertion of the applicator using HDR brachytherapy planning software and brachytherapy unit(Ralstron-20B). Results: Shin's Applicator allows improved dose distribution than the existing 1-channel cylinder and achieves diminished urinary bladder and rectal dose by 20%. Conclusions: From the above results, it can be concluded that Shin's Applicator may be an improved form of a vaginal applicator. Furthermore, it can be suggested that this applicator has an advantage, for it prevents vaginal stenosis after radiation therapy and can be used as a disposable vaginal dilator. Further follow up examination with radiological study may be helpful to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of this applicator.

This study is conducted to find ways to develop design and research activities on personal belongings for the aged generation and aims to promote the industry and improve welfare of the elderly population by enhancing their quality of lives. Researches on policy papers, journals and published books show high growth potentials for elderly related industries due to rapid aging, retirement of baby boomer population and quality-oriented life styles. Regulations and standard, however, are lacking and, with shortage of R & D investment, human resources have not been secured in this industry. This is a niche market that has definite consumers. Therefore, it has been confirmed that when design and research efforts are made in this field, it can contribute to the benefit of aged generation as well as the development of the national economy.
