The purpose of this study is to explore practical intervention strategies by identifying the relationships among digital informatization capacity, level of digital informatization accessability and life satisfaction of disabled people and to determine differences among these relationships depending on perceived level of social support networks. The participants were 1,639 disabled people from the 2017 digital information gap survey and the results, based on structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis, are as follows. First, digital informatization capacity has a positive influence on the level of digital informatization accessability(β=.65), and life satisfaction(β=.08). The level of digital informatization accessability also has positive influence on life satisfaction(β=.44). Second, the analysis result of the mediated effects of digital informatization accessability level between digital informatization capacity and life satisfaction was significant at a level (β=.29) even greater than the direct effect of digital informatization capacity on life satisfaction. Third, digital information capacity and digital informatization accessability have an influence on life satisfaction regardless of their perceived level of social support. The findings suggest that creating online environments where disabled people can enjoy leisure, culture, and social interaction with high accessibility and utility are as important as providing education for improving their digital informatization capacity.

The aim of this study was to identify stress, motivation for a the healthy lifestyle and IADL of the elderly with arthritis. This study examined 117 elderly person over the age of 65 years living in S city. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS Win 12.0 Program. Significant negative correlations were observed between stress and IADL, significant positive correlations between motivation on healthy lifestyle and IADL. The predictors on IADL were the physical area of stress (${\beta}=-0.354$, p<.001) and self-efficacy of motivation on healthy lifestyle (${\beta}=0.250$, p<.001). The model explained 18.5% of the variance. More study will be needed to explore a range of factors influencing the IADL and develop education programs for effective healthy lifestyle of elderly people with arthritis.

This research analyzed the cognitive factors affecting stroke patient's activity of daily living performance and suggests the approaches which can contribute to the effective activity of daily living performance in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients. In this study, Seoul Computerized NeuroCognitive Function Test (SCNT) and MBI have been performed for 21 patients under extensive rehabilitation treatments, hospitalized in the rehabilitation clinic of A hospital after being diagnosed as a stroke caused by cerebrovascular disorders. To assess the effectiveness of the cognitive factors which affect the stroke patient's activity of daily living performance, activity of daily living performance values were set as dependent variables and 10 cognitive factors were included in the model to carry out analysis of the multiple regression analysis. The results show that stroke patient's activity of daily living performance have statistically significant correlations with divided attention, motor control and selectivir attention. In addition, cognitive factors explained 69.8% of the stroke patient's activity of daily living performance. Consequently, if divided attention and motor control are considered as a focal point of training in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients, we can effectively promote the improvement of the activity of daily living performanceroutine activities.

The purpose of this study was to understand the daily life of the residents in Jjok-bang. To achieve this purpose, I conducted an ethnographic approach. I contacted the residents in Jjok-bang, collected data from an in-depth interview, participative observation, documents, and analysed data by an ethnographic approach. In research findings, I presented four dimensions of the daily life: subject, place, time, way of life. Subjects were categorized as 'I', 'We', and 'They'. I investigated the residents' places that were categorized as three places such as Jjok-bang, a Jjok-bang region, and a Jjok-bang service center. I identified the residents' experiences in time of the past, the present, and the future. In addition, I gained a deep understanding of their way of life which was divided to survival, living, and life. Based on the results, I offer suggestions for policy, administration, practice, and further researches.

In this paper, we present a daily activity monitoring system by using a wireless sensor network. The proposed system is installed in glove for activity monitoring. The RFID reader, to send data by using sensor network platform and RFID tag are small size, the shape of quadrangle, and operate in the frequency of 13.56 MHz. The sensor node can read RFID tags on the various objects used in daily living such as furniture, medicines, and kitchenwares. The sensor node reads the data of RFID tags, it transmits wireless packets to the sink node. The sink node sends the received packet immediately to a server system. The data from each RFID system is collected into a database, and then the data are processed to visualize the measurement of daily living activities of users. We provide a web-based monitoring system, and can see the number of RFID tag readings per day as bar charts. The result of experiments demonstrates that the way we propose can help to check the situation of life for people who live alone.

일상생활과 사무실에 거센 바람이 불고 있다. 그것은 근거리 무선접속규격의 신기술인 블루투스(Bluetooth)로서 우리의 모든 생활을 바꾸어 놓을 것이다. 인류의 역사를 바꾸는 신기술인 IMT-2000과 더불어 블루투스가 각광을 받고 있는 시점이다. 일상생활에서 특히 가정과 사무실에서 근거리 무선접속 구간에서의 이동성을 가진 디바이스들 간 상호통신의 새로운 표준으로 자리잡고 있다. 이와 같이, 일상생활에서의 커다란 변화와 산업 정보화시대에서 가장 큰 관건은 정보 고속화와 정보의 정확한 전달일 것이다. 이러한 것과 발맞추어 진행 중인 것이 근거리 무선구간에서의 2.4GHz대 ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) 대역의 주파수를 사용하여 1Mbps 속도(실효속도 721K)로 최대 10m내에서 각종 단말기와 디바이스(예: 전화기, Fax, 데스크 탑, 노트북 컴퓨터, MP3 플레이어, 스캐너..)들을 무선 접속하는 블루투스 기술이며, 이는 기존의 유선에서의 불편함을 깔끔히 해소해 주었다. 필자는 전반적인 블루투스의 흐름을 간략하면서도 필요한 부분을 전달하는 목적으로, 또한 아직 블루투스의 위력을 인식하지 못한 기업과 독자들에게 새롭게 인식할 수 있도록 블루투스의 소개와 함께 기술적인 측면, 시스템적인 면과 회사별 제품현황에 대해 중요한 부분만을 블루투스 스팩을 기준으로 정리하였다.

본 연구는 소비자의 일상생활 행동을 다각적이며 심층적으로 파악하기 위한 하나의 방법으로 다양한 조사방법론을 활용하였다. 본 연구는 디지털 제품 선도 소비자(lead consumer)를 대상으로 구조화된 설문조사법 이외에 심층면접(In Depth-Interview), 쉐도우 서베이(Shadow Survey), 홈비지팅(Home-Visiting) 등의 방법론을 사용하였다. 즉, 일반 소비자와 선도 소비자의 일반적 특성을 파악하기 위해 질문지를 이용한 설문조사방법과 선도 소비자의 일상생활 행동, 행동의 원인, 행동의 결과 등을 심층면접, 쉐도우(Shadow) 관찰조사 방법, 가정 생활을 관찰하기 위한 홈비지팅(Home-visiting) 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 의사소통관련 행동은 가족 및 친구를 위한 활동, 정보처리관련 행동은 사회(3차집단)을 위한 활동, 엔터테이먼트 관련 행동은 개인을 위한 활동 목적이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 추후 연구는 상황(Situation)-차이(Gap)-사용(Use)이라는 Sense-Making Theory로 활용되어지며, 이러한 결과는 신상품 컨셉 개발을 위해 활용되어질 것이다. 그러나 본 연구는 견고한 이론적 틀 보다는 목적 지향적이며 실천 지향적 성격이 강하다. 따라서 추후 연구들은 체계적이며, 다학제적인 연구를 통해 조사방법의 체계를 다져야 할 것이다.
