This study recognizes it as a social problem that can be prevented by basic research on safety security design for the elderly, and aims to clearly analyze risk factors for injury. For this study, raw data from the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey were employed and analyzed. Their social characteristics were classified with standards including gender, education, EuroQoL(human locomotion, normal activity and pain uncomfortableness), the quality of life(PHQ-(1)(2)(4)), recognition on stress, activity restriction status and associated causes(bone fracture and joint injury). Their epidemiological traits were chronic diseases, 'diabetes and hip-joint pain', and health-behavioral traits were 'smoking, breakfast frequency and high-level physical activity status.' In conclusion, it can be found that damage risk of elderly rose in case of female, lower education, inconvenience or limitation, pain or discomfort in locomotion and daily activities, higher recognition of stress, lower interest in work, feeling of depression, despair, and weariness, restriction in activity caused by bone fracture and joint injury, having diabetes and hip-joint pain, smoking, low frequency in having breakfast and high-level physical activities. Based on this study, we envision that an effective solution for injury risk factors caused by the organic relation can be reached in the near future.

Beyond the millennium industrial development affects all of our life, and the growth of the automobile among them provides us with convenience of the living. One, however, was regarded as important to recognize the safety of the parking rather today than any past, getting together with the increasing auto population into the popularization gradually. It was needed to develope an active system and safety equipment in order to protect against an accident because there were so many accidents during the parking about which one felt relief. The objectives of this study was to develop a supporting structure with high static friction, adapt to various road environments, such as an unpaved road, a wet paved road, controling an angle, considering a portable and moveable device in order to prevent an accident during parking. As it mentioned above, the novel supporting structure had four strengths rather than a previous supporting structure, a practical new design (1998 084336 B60C) The implication of the study was the inspiration from warning of the parking accident almost 10 % of the total traffic accident in Korea, tries to find a solution to a problem in order to decrease the parking accident, in addition, makes it regulation ,and it was implied to the orientation about the popularization and the practical use of the new supporting structure which was developed

This study was performed to develop children's food quality certification system as part of the children's favorite foods safety management projects. As a component of the research, we developed a quality certification logo to build up brand image which is familiar with children, as well as to offer the right standard and opportunity for food selection. The age level contains elementary graders from 8 to 13. The logo concept was focused on 'Safety', 'Certification, Guidance' and 'Health' in accordance with the vision of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), "Safe food, good nutrition and healthy children". The logo name was proposed as "Best Food for Children", "Safety Food for Children" and "Children Good Food", which was decided by public subscription in the KFDA. The 36 tentative plans for a seal were proposed depending on names. We conducted a survey for the 12 logo samples, designed by the name of "Children Good Food", to use as the basic material for the development of logo to convey the meaning of children's food quality certification system effectively. This survey was conducted among 321 elementary graders and 331 parents of elementary graders. We selected the most favorite design through the survey and applied it for products practicality. It is expected that a steady policy may be possible to implement by applying the basis of the children's food project.
