Through investigating the life of retired teachers in preschool, elementary, and middle schools, authors wanted to explore the meaning of retirement and the process of adaptation to find out their personal and social needs in post-retirement life. Studies have shown that their experiences at childhood have greatly influenced the performance of one's profession, such as contributing to setting limits on behaviors of their students. In the period of interdependence, they have contributed to serving society and the nation beyond as a professional, and in the second half of his teaching career, they have learned that their painful experience was a resource and have realized that changing mind can make the world changed. Since teachers' behavior affects on many subjects unlike other jobs, rewards or satisfaction from the job was bigger than any other jobs. However, after retirement, they felt a sense of emptiness in life without any sense of belonging or accomplishment, while feeling happiness and infinite freedom in other hand. Thy still go forward for life challenging to new study.

Being one of the municipality belonging to a large metropolitan city, there are areas with a special environment of rural characteristics that are different from general urban areas. Gijang-gun of Busan Metropolitan City is a good example. Although it maintains the highest level of the number of patrons per public library and the number of books per capita in Busan, and is also promoting various projects to strengthen the knowledge and cultural competitiveness, in Gijang-gun, a Complex Area where rural and urban areas coexist, most of the resources are concentrated in urban areas, and cultural facilities that provide public services are lacking in relatively few rural areas. In this regard, this research strives to enhance the vision and strategy of the Gijang-gun's public libraries, reflecting the characteristics and needs of the patrons as viewed through their urban-rural complex environment.

This research aims to develop the companion robot experience design for elderly in korea based on needs-function deploy matrix of robot and emotion expression research of robot in multimodal interaction. First, Elder users' main needs were categorized into 4 groups based on ethnographic research. Second, the functional elements and physical actuators of robot were mapped to user needs in function- needs deploy matrix. The final UX design prototype was implemented with a robot type that has a verbal non-touch multi modal interface with emotional facial expression based on Ekman's Facial Action Coding System (FACS). The proposed robot prototype was validated through a user test session to analyze the influence of the robot interaction on the cognition and emotion of users by Story Recall Test and face emotion analysis software; Emotion API when the robot changes facial expression corresponds to the emotion of the delivered information by the robot and when the robot initiated interaction cycle voluntarily. The group with emotional robot showed a relatively high recall rate in the delayed recall test and In the facial expression analysis, the facial expression and the interaction initiation of the robot affected on emotion and preference of the elderly participants.

The subjects of this study were 641 people over 65 years old around 4 metropolitan area. Structural Equation Modeling in AMOS 18.0 was adopted to examine measurement model and mediating effects of self-esteem by using Bootstrapping method. The results were as followings. First, subjects who had higher education, higher income, married, religion, higher marital satisfaction, no chronic disease, voluntary work participation showed more higher happiness. Second, the analysis resulted confined the full mediation effects of self-esteem in the relations between the economic status and happiness of the elderly.

Based on Rawl's Justice Theory, the author examines the rationales for educating older adults and advocates for their needs for just distributions of educational resources and opportunities. The author also seeks policy implications for establishing just educational systems for older citizens. On the basis of Rawl's Justice Theory, the essential principles for realizing social justice are presented. The author points out the Veil of Ignorance and Rational Indifference. As the practical methods for achieving social justice, the author presents Exclusion of Coincidence, Difference Principle, Democratic Equality, and Common Asset. Implications for establishing just education systems for older adults include: 1) The least advantaged groups such as older adults, females, and the disabled should not be discriminated in the distribution of educational resources; 2) People with higher capacities are obliged to serve less capable people; and 3) Older adults should mobilize all resources to empower themselves and to develop their potentials. The author concludes that Rawl's Justice Theory can be tapped into as a useful ideological framework in order to expand educational resources and opportunities for older adults.

The purpose of this study is to critically review recent discourse on aging appeared in Korean newspapers. For this purpose, 1,725 articles on 'aging' or 'elderly' appeared on three major Korean newspapers during 1997- 2006 are analyzed. It is shown that there is a recent surge of articles portraying the positive images of aging in Korean newspapers emphasizing the importance of productive, successful aging and active life style of the elderly. This trend is a welcomed change from the negative images of elderly as dependent burden of society. However, it seems that over emphasis on positive aging and 'New Elderly' might have created another stereotype about the elderly and unintentionally marginalize the certain group of the elderly. By focusing on individual responsibility, it also overlooked the constraints imposed by social structure on disadvantaged elderly group, such as women, elderly in low socio-economic strata. Theoretical and policy implications of this trends are discussed.

The study identifies the major themes for integration education program which enhances the relationship between the north Korean refugees and their south Korean hosts. The themes were selected based on qualitative analysis of the socio-cultural conflicts experienced by the refugees and the hosts in the acculturation process. Twenty-eight north Korean refugees over age 20 participated in semi-structured interviews, and two south Korean groups in close contact with the refugees, police and volunteer teachers, were interviewed in focus groups. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for categorization and coding. The study views the acculturation issue as the two-sided integration task for both the north Korean refugees and the south Korean hosts rather than as the one-sided acceptance and assimilation task for the refugees.

본 논문은 재난관리의 성과에 대한 근원적 의문에 대한 문제제기에서 출발하였다. 재난관리의 성과는 재난에 대한 정부의 관리적 측면, 즉 행정관리 역량이나 산출지표 등으로 평가되어 왔다. 재난은 일상의 삶에 대한 도전이자 생존의 문제와 직접적으로 연계되어 있다는 점에서 재난에 대한 정부의 책임 요구가 지속적으로 강조되어 왔다. 정부 역시 재난에 대한 책임과 역할을 위하여 다양한 정책적 노력과 전문성을 강화하기 위한 노력을 지속하여 왔다. 그렇다면 재난에 대한 책임을 모두 정부에 물을 수 있는 것일까? 여기에 대하여 상황을 고려해야 하며, 반드시 정부가 책임이라고 답하기에는 분명 한계가 존재할 것이다. 즉, 재난에 대응하는 과정에서 정부의 노력과 함께 개인적 차원의 관심과 노력 역시 필요하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 재난관리의 성과가 정부 조직의 책임역량이 증진되는 것과 함께 시민들의 참여도 증진 역시 그 성과로 이해할 수 있을지를 검토하고 실증분석하는데 목적이 있다. 분석을 위하여, 기존 연구들에서 재난관리의 주요한 독립변수로 활용되던 재난경험, 재난위험, 조직특성 등을 주요한 독립변수로 사용하고자 하며, 종속변수는 재난조직의 책임역량과 재난현장에의 시민들의 자원봉사 참여도로 구분하여 설정하였다. 즉, 기존의 재난관리 성과와 대안적 성과로서 시민참여도 증진을 실증분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 재난성과는 조직의 내부적 책임역량의 증진과 함께 외부적으로 시민들의 참여를 이끌어 낼 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 시민 참여는 재난관리의 성과로서 정부의 새로운 지표가 될 수 있다. 시민들의 참여는 지역에 대한 재난의 위험 인식이 높을수록 그 참여도가 증진되는 것으로 나타나며, 이는 재난에 대한 대국민 인식개선 및 환경에 대한 위험도 증진의 정책적 노력이 필요함을 의미한다.
