This study analyzed the impact of securing nature-friendly public spaces on the healthy growth of children. Additionally, it examined the case of Germany to extract implications for Korea. The natural environment enhances children's play, physical activity, cognitive abilities, and overall happiness. Therefore, it is generally considered a necessary space that must be provided for domestically, especially for children who experience high academic stress and low levels of happiness. However, as evidenced by Germany's "Nature Experience Area Project," creating nature-friendly spaces for children requires legal support at the national level. Additionally, such projects should be integrated with key national policies. Furthermore, beyond interdisciplinary collaboration, caregivers must have a positive perception of the natural environment.

This research was conducted to verify the relationships among mental health, self-forgiveness, and psychological well-being. Participants were 232 college students in an university in Seoul. Methods of data analysis were ANOVA, regression analysis, and path analysis. As a result of analyses, first, MMPI-2 clinical scales which showed significant correlation with psychological well-being were as follows: Hs, D, Pd, Pa, Pt, Sc, Si. Second, PSY-5 scales which showed significant correlation with psychological well-being were as follows: PSYC, NEGE, INTR. Third, stepwise regression analysis revealed that Sc, Si and Pd among clinical scales of MMPI-2 were associated with psychological well-being. Fourth, PSYC, NEGE and INTR among clinical scales of PSY-5 scales were associated with psychological well-being. Fifth, self-forgiveness had a significant mediating effect in the relationship between mental health and psychological well-being. Based on the results, implications related to importances of mental health and self-forgiveness were discussed for increasing psychological well-being of college students.

This research examines the effect of area level characteristics on individual health, particularly focusing on the vulnerable populations in Seoul. We consider adult individuals whose family income is under 1.5 million won, who are aged 65 and over, or who have neither spouse nor job but aged 40 and over as vulnerable populations. Using the 2005 Seoul Citizens' Health Interview Survey, we conducted multilevel analyses to simultaneously investigate the effect of area and individual level characteristics on health. Between-area variance of self-rated health status was greater for the elderly population than for all populations. Area material deprivation index and happiness index were associated with the self-rated health of economically disadvantaged populations. Vulnerable populations showed greater between-area variances in emotional health than the same for all populations. Area happiness index, material deprivation index, the proportion of households below poverty line and street safety showed statistically significant association with emotional health. The effect of area characteristics were particularly salient for the emotional health of elderly population and its between area variance was also notable.

Cities have complex system composed diverse activities. The activities in cities have complex relationship that creates diverse urban phenomena. Big Data is emerging technology in order to understand such complex network. This research aims to understand such relations by analysing the diverse city indexes. 28 indexes were collected in 25 of districts in Seoul city and analysed to find a weighted correlation. By defining the correlation values of certain years, it tries to predict the missed index values, "happiness" of each districts in other years. The result presents that the overall prediction accuracy 70.25%. However, for further discussion, the result is considered that this methods may not enough to use in practice, since the data has inconstant accuracy by different learning years.

본 연구의 목적은 건강한 결혼생활을 예견할 수 있는 사회인구학적 변인 및 심리적 변인들을 규명하여 부부의 행복유지 및 증진에 방향을 제시하고자 함에 있다. 우리나라 대도시에 거주하는 부부 550쌍을 대상으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 결혼 유형을 건강한 결혼, 형식적 결혼, 유약한 결혼, 상황적 결혼으로 구분하여 조사한바, 도시부부의 52%가 건강한 결혼 즉 순기능 결혼 범주에 속하고 48%가 정도의 차이는 있지만 역기능 결혼의 범주에 속하였다. 2) 남편들의 결혼관계 건강지수가 아내들보다 의미있게 높게 나타나 결혼관계에 대한 부부간의 차이를 알수 있었다. 3) 건강한 결혼을 예견하는 변인으로 남편에게는 존경과 대화가, 아내에게는 애정, 문제해결능력, 성생활이 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 이는 곧 심리적 변인이 사회인구학적 변인보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것임을 의미하는 것이라 하겠다.

비만은 단순히 개인의 게으름의 문제가 아니라 하나의 위험한 질병으로서 치료를 위해 전문가의 도움이 전적으로 필요로 한다. 개인만의 극복해야 하는 문제가 아니라 사회적 문제로 거론되어 국가 차원에서의 규제와 같은 적극적인 도움이 필요하다. 비만으로 생기는 경제적 손실 또한 무시할 수 없다. 의료비용, 생산성 감소, 사회 보건 문제, 질병 예방 비용 등이 있다. 이 연구는 전 연령층을 대상으로 하되, 아시아, 북아메리카, 남아메리카와 같이 대륙별로 근처 나라들의 2009년에서 2019년까지 10년의 비만 지수와 경제지표를 R을 활용한 회귀분석, 상관관계 분석, Pearson 회귀분석으로 비교하여 가치 있는 결과를 찾는 데 있다. 비만의 해결은 개인의 행복뿐만 아니라 국가의 경제 성장 그리고 회복에 큰 핵심적 요소가 된다는 걸 검증하는 연구이다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of regular participation in physical activity on personal happiness by analyzing the "2014 National Leisure Sports Participation Survey". By using cross-tabulation and the binary logit model, it is found that there is a positive correlation between those two variables. The effect of positive affect on happiness index was found to be influenced by age, education level, occupation, income, marital status, appear. The results of the analysis of the relationship between the presence of sports facilities and the participation of regular physical activity using crosstab analysis and the analysis of physical activity showed positive relationship between two variables. Hence, it is expected that providing more opportunities to participate in sports programs can lead the public to more regular participation in physical activity.
