The life table is a statistical model for life expectancy and reflects mortality experiences exposed to a particular group of people. The following three issues are prerequisite for constructing the life table : a selection of how to estimate the death probability from observed death rates, a graduation method to smooth irregularity of the death probabilities, and an extension method of the death probabilities for oldest-old ages. To construct the life table that is fittest to Korean mortality experiences, we examine five estimation methods such as Chiang's and Greville's for the death probability, three graduation techniques including Beer's and Greville's formulae, and twelve mathematical functions for the extension of death probabilities for oldest-old ages. We also propose a method to resolve the cross-over problem arising from construction the life table.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among senior dance participants' fun, leisure constraints negotiation and intention to continue exercise of the oldest old. The questionnaires were analyzed 103 of the oldest old in D-city. The measurement tools used were fun, leisure constraints negotiation and intention to continue exercise. Amos 26.0 and SPSS WIN VER 26.0 program were used to analyze the data with correlation analysis, reliability analysis and structural equation model. the results of this study, First, it was showed that the fun of the oldest's old participation in senior dance had a significant effect on the intention to continue exercise. Second, it was showed that the fun of the oldest's old participation in senior dance had a significant effect on the leisure constraints negotiation. Third, it was showed that the leisure constraints negotiation of the oldest's old participation in senior dance had a significant effect on the intention to continue exercise. Fourth, it was showed that the leisure constraints negotiation of the oldest's old participation in senior dance had a partial mediation effect between fun and intention to continue exercise.

Super aged society, Japan actively uses Information Communication Technology(ICT) as one of solving methods for various social problem. Especially, for Korea where soon will become super aged society, it would be meaningful to examine the current policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan. This study explores the policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan through literature review, and then proposes some suggestions as follows. Opportunities for practical use of ICT should be widened in the field of senior support, and efforts are needed to build an information linkage network between institutions for senior support because linkage between care sector and medical sector is important for the elderly support. Besides, simplification of paperwork and easing of burden of care providers or workers in the field should be sought by development and dissemination of various robots. Moreover, the spread of technology for emotional support and stability should be actively pursued by using ICT.

This paper intends to examine spatial patterns and regional variations of aging population in Korea based on census data for 163 areas during 1980~2010. It briefly investigates general characteristics of aging population in Korea from previous studies and clarifies spatial patterns of aging process at regional level with reference of population growth rate at different time periods. Cities in Korea are classified into several stages including aging society, aged society and super-aged society according to the percentages of aging population out of total population every five years. At the regional scale, the stage of aging society was revealed from 1980, while the stage of aged society was shown from 1995 and super-aged society was entered from 2000 in Korea. Eighty cities in the analysis were shown at the stage of super-aged society in 2010. The portions of aging population are highly related to city size and population growth rate. For instance, the cities both in small size and with low population growth rate are revealing high percentage of aging population. As of 2010, most rural areas are staged into super-aged society, while most cities within Seoul metropolitan area and mid-sized cities are kept in the stage of aging society. At regional scale, there are no significant statistical correlations between total fertility rate and aging population.

The objective of this study is to examine whether there are differences in participation in social activities and the effects of social activity types on the levels of happiness of the Korean older adults by age groups. The 5th wave(2014) of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) was used and a total of 3,273 elderly were selected from the 5th wave, who were 65 years old and older and who were not living with their offsprings. Chi-square test, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used. The rate of participation in economic activities declined with age and the levels of participation in leisure activities was higher in the young-old group in comparison to the middle- and the oldest- old groups. The levels of participation in family activities was higher in the middle- and the oldest-old groups in comparison to the young-old group. Socializing activities and religious activities measured by the frequencies of activities were not significantly different among the age groups. The results of a regression analysis of social activity types and their effects on happiness by age groups are the followings: 1) Leisure, socializing, religious, and family activities all (with the exception of economic activities) significantly affected the level of happiness of older persons in the young-old group. 2) However, only socializing and family activities in the middle-old age group, and only family activities in oldest-old group, had a statistically significant impact on the levels of happiness. These results support that the rates of participation in the five types of social activities and their effects on the levels of happiness were different by age groups. The implication of this study was to report that needs and the interests of older individuals are different by age groups based on empirical evidences.

현재 대한민국은 고령 사회이다. 매년 노인인구의 비율을 증가하고 있으며 2025년에는 노인인구 비율이 20%가 넘으면서 초고령사회로 접어들 전망이다. 이러한 사회적 특성으로 우리는 많은 노인 문제를 겪고 있다. 그 중 대표적인 문제는 독거노인의 비율이 증가함에 따라 매년 고독사하는 독거노인이 많아지고, 지방의 농가인구 또한 점점 감소하고 있다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 사회문제를 해결하기 위해 Flutter를 활용한 애플리케이션 개발을 통해 식물과 IOT 기술을 접목하여 이들에게 도움을 주고자 한다. 독거노인에게는 반려 식물 시스템을 제공하여 이들의 우울증을 완화하고, 지방의 농가인구에 효과적인 스마트팜 시스템을 서비스 함으로써 이러한 사회문제를 해결하는 데 도움을 주고자 한다.
