In Korea, playgrounds have been developed quantitatively and qualitatively. However, there is a lack of interest in the play needs of children with disabilities. With this in mind, this study is concerned about the planning and design process of the inclusive playground constructed in 2016 at Seoul Children's Grand Park. The case study covered the Kkumtle Kkumtle playground in Seoul Children's Grand Park and was completed in December 2015. This playground is the first case of an inclusive playground ever built in Korea. The concept of the inclusive playground established in this study is: (1) a playground where not only children with disabilities but both children with disabilities and children without disabilities can play together; (2) a playground for both children with disabilities accompanied by their families and children without disabilities accompanied by family members with disabilities; (3) a playground that ensures universal accessibility to the entire space including play facilities; and (4) a playground where the most essential functions of a playground-fun, curiosity, and adventure-are centered on various activities. In conclusion, we presented limitations and opinions for improvements to design and policy proposals for social expansion of inclusive playgrounds. There are three ways to overcome limitations in design. First, there is a need for an in-depth study of play characteristics by type of disabilities of children. Second, it is necessary to develop facilities suitable for the actual situation of Korea through various social experiments. Third, if the inclusive playground centered on facilities is presented in this study, then several types of integrated playgrounds should be implemented in the future.

아이를 키우고 있다면 세균 번식이 용이한 봄철, 더욱 긴장의 끈을 늦출 수 없다. 봄날의 불청객 황사를 비롯한 각종 환절기 질병이 아이를 주시하고 있음은 물론 더 많은 세균들이 야외활동이 많은 성장기 어린이들의 건강을 위협하고 있기 때문이다. 그 가운데 특히 주목해야 할 곳은 날씨가 따뜻해진 요즘, 아이가 자주 오가는 어린이 놀이터다 과연 안전할까.

The importance of play from a Children's Rights perspective has been continuously emphasized, and the need for play facilities and spaces has been reiterated. Meanwhile, in South Korea, despite the continuous increase in the number of play facilities, efforts to improve children's play spaces are required. Therefore, this study reevaluated the current regulations and policies concerning play and play spaces from the perspective of securing the right to play. An analysis of the legal concept of domestic playgrounds, related laws, construction standards, and regulations was conducted. The systems and characteristics of the related regulations in the UK, Canada, and Germany were analyzed. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, our directions for improving the system of playgrounds to ensure the children's right to play were proposed. First, a legal definition of the concept and scope of playgrounds should be established. Second, beyond safety-focused facility regulations, there is a need for institutional enhancements to ensure the right to play. Third, comprehensive management of playgrounds is required as a spatial concept rather than as individual facilities. Fourth, qualitative management is needed through specific guidelines and guidelines related to the establishment of playgrounds. These results can serve as a basis for establishing systems and promoting policy projects to ensure children's right to play in various fields, including urban planning, child welfare, and education in the future.

The prevalence of Toxocara canis eggs in the public places in the city of Gwangju were studied through examination of 800 soil and 123 fecal specimens. Toxocara canis eggs were found in 15% of soil samples. In 25% parks and 17% residential quarters, these eggs were detected with higher contamination rate than other places. The soil contamination rate of playgrounds in spring and autumn was higher than that of summer and winter, and the variation range of the rate was high in parks and residential quarters. The contamination rate of eggs in 123 samples of dogs' feces was 31%, it was higher than that of soil samples(21%).

The children's playgrounds have been installed almost from the beginning when the first apartment complex was built. The brightness of a playground has not been considered in the architectural plan. The site of the playground has been chosen based on availability without making a detailed review on its daylight environment. The purpose of this study is to provide the Sky Ratio Diagram for the evaluation of daylight environment at the children's playground in apartment complexes. the Sky Ratio Diagram has 100 points, each point has a value of equal to the sky ratio 1%. Through case studies, the Sky Ratio Diagram was verified whether it could be practically applied to the actual playgrounds. This research is meaningful in that it suggests a way to quantitatively evaluate the brightness of a playground. The Sky Ratio Diagram suggested in this study can be practically used when choosing a site for a playground within an apartment complex.

A study was conducted to evaluate isolation rate and distribution of mating type of M.gypseum complex Arthroderma(A.) gypsea and A.incurvata. Seventeen(17) strains were isolated from children patients and sixty(60) strains were from elementary school playgrounds, flower beds, and childrens playgrounds in Taegu area. The strains were crossed with test strains of A.gypsea and A. incurvata which were provided by Tokyo university. The results were summarized as follows; Of seventeen(17) strains, thirteen(13) were isolated from male children and ten(10) were A.incurvata and three(3) A.gypsea, and four(4) were from female children and all iou, strains were A.incurvata. Face(Tinea facial) was more frequently affected to compare with other clinical type. Of seventeen(17) strains isolated from patients, six(6) were A.incurvata "+" type and eight (8) were "-" type, and two(2) were A.gypsea "+" type and one(1) was "-" type. Of sixty (60) strains isolated from soil, sixteen (16) were A.gypsea "+" type and fifteen(15) were"-" type. and fifteen(15) were A. incurvata "+" type and fourteen(14) were "-" type.) were A. incurvata "+" type and fourteen(14) were "-" type. &"-&" type.t; type.
