The residential and welfare facilities for the elderly are continuously increasing due to change of value on family under situation of aging population increase. And it is predicted that accommodation capacity of facilities for the elderly and its rate those facilities takes compared to whole social welfare facilities will be accelerated considering past increase speed. On the other hand, about 60% of the elderly have low physical and mental level almost close to disabled people therefore special environmental concerns helping their independent living are necessary. Among them, color application is one of the most important factors for smooth understanding, communication and psychological remedy effect for them. The purpose of this study is to analyze the interior color status in assisted living facilities for the elderly in America which is a leading country in terms of the understanding and policy for the elderly as a part of the research project to suggest the developed solution about the Korean residential welfare facilities for the elderly For this purpose, not only importance and effect of color and visual characteristics and reaction to color in elderly environment but also general concept and policy of the ‘assisted living facility’ in America were researched through documents review. And measuring of color on 5 main spaces such ; lobby/lounge, corridor, dining room, bedroom, stairway/ramp of the 10 facilities in America were performed under analysis of its functional and aesthetic level based on Moon & Spencer's color theory.

Comfortable sleeping largely depends on human mental state, physical condition, the temper. ature and humidity in bedrooms, and qualities of quilt and bedcover. Of the qualities of quilt, thermal insulation effect plays the most important role in keeping bedroom in ample temperature and preventing human body from giving off heat. In the present study, which is a sequel study to research on the thermal insulation effect, the real-size quilts with the following items of filling materials in them are designed to research on the variation of each item, and to measure the effect of the weight variation in inner covers on the thermal insulation effect of quilts, the results are as follows: 1. The coefficient between the weight of filling materials and the thermal insulation effect of quilt is shown to be a significant $0.91\~0.97$. 2. The thermal insulation effect of the quilts with in size of $0.5\;Kg/m^{2}$ is surveyed to be high in order down > polyester > cotton > wool. 3. The effect of the texture of inner covers on the thermal insulation effect of quilt is shown to be ignorably low. 4. The weight of filling materials is shown to be in correlation with the thermal insulation effect of quilts, and the estimated regression line has been obtained.

본 연구는 CFAST를 이용하여 아파트 화재가 발생하였을 때 인체에 끼치는 위험요소를 예측한다. CFAST 소프트웨어는 National Institute of Standards Technology 산하기관인 Building and Fire Research Lab에서 개발되어진 모델이다. 본 해석 시나리오는 아파트 화재 재현 실험결과에 의해 검증되었다. 해석결과를 요약하면, 침실뿐만 아니라 거실과 작은방의 상황도 실험 데이터와 정성적으로 같은 경향을 보인다. 화재 당시 거실과 작은방에 사람이 있었다면 산소와 이산화탄소의 농도로 인하여 어지러움을 호소하거나 심하게는 구토, 마비 같은 증상이 발생되었을 것으로 예측되었다.

Purpose: As the need for a hospital specializing in infectious diseases has increased, construction is being promoted. Hospitals specializing in infectious diseases receive some state subsidies, but in the case of private hospitals, hospital operation efficiency should be considered to prevent cost loss. Therefore, we aim to derive a building plan for a general ward in a hospital specializing in infectious diseases that can be used not only in normal times but also in times of crisis. Methods: In this study, relevant literature review and field interviews were conducted with medical staff working in facilities designated as infectious disease hospitals. Results: The general ward building plan of the hospital specializing in infectious diseases was classified into three categories and presented. 'Spatial composition' for nursing unit and ward zoning, 'Spatial plan' for ward space conversion in normal times and crises, 'Bedroom plan' for effective dimensions and area of the ward. Implications: It can be used as a guideline when designing an infection-facility ward. And it can be a basis for inducing improvements to prevent infection in the ward of existing medical facilities.

본 연구에서는 고령자주택의 조명실태를 알아보기 위해 고령자만이 거주하고 있는 주택 50가구를 대상으로 실태조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고령자가 느끼는 주택조명의 밝기는 거실과 부엌은 보통정도이며, 침실과 화장실은 조금 어두운 것으로 느끼고 있었다. 그리고 주택조명에 대한 만족도에서는 대체로 보통이상으로 만족하고 있었다. 둘째, 고령자주택의 조명환경 문제점은 밝기와 관리라고 생각하며, 조명환경 개조 시 밝기와 설비의 노후를 고려하였으며, 개조 시 밝기에 가장 중점을 두기를 원하였다. 셋째, 조명의 사용방법은 침실과 화장실은 전반조명만의 사용이 압도적이며, 부엌은 전반조명과 국부조명의 병용이 압도적이다. 거실은 전반조명만을 사용하는 경우가 많으나, 전반조명과 국부조명을 병용하는 경우도 약 4할을 차지하였다. 그리고 광원의 사용을 보면, 침실과 거실에서는 주로 형광등을 사용하며, 부엌과 화장실에서는 국부조명의 광원으로 백열등을 사용하였다. 넷째, 침실의 평균조도는 104.17[lx], 평균균 제도는 60.22[%]이며, 거실의 평균조도는 116.15[lx], 평균균제도는 51.48[%]이며, 부엌의 싱크대 평균조도는 236.40[lx], 식탁의 평균조도는 160.73[lx], 화장실의 세면대의 평균조도는 109.81[lx], 변기의 평균조도는 74.33[lx]로 나타나 대체적으로 기준보다 어둡다.

Purpose: Injuries are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in the childhood population worldwide. Thus, this study was down to investigate the type and the severity of injuries according to the age group in childhood. Methods: A survey of injury information and a chart review were done on 378 children (257 boys, 121 girls) who visited the Emergency Departments of Asan Medical Center from March 1, 2009, to March 31, 2009. To determine differences in injury mechanism, accident place, injury site, New Injury Severity Score (NISS) and Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS), we divided the 378 patients into 4 group: under 1 year, 1 to 4 years, 5 to 9 years, and 10 to 15 years. Results: The mean (${\pm}SD$) age of the study group was 5.1 (${\pm}4.4$) years. Two year olds formed the largest group of injured children, with 77 cases (20.4% of the total). The most common cause of injury in childhood was being hit by an object (26.2%). Falls were frequent in the under-1-year group (22.2%) and slip downs (30.1%) were more frequent in 1-to-4-year group. More than half (53.4%) of the injuries occurred in the home, and the most common places of home-related injuries were the living room (41.1%) and the bedroom (31.2%). The mean (${\pm}SD$) NISS was 1.5 (${\pm}1.8$), and traffic accidents had the highest NISS ($2.8{\pm}5.1$). Injuries occurred most frequently during the evening. The peak period was 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (33.7%). Conclusion: Patterns of childhood injury by age group were considerably different, and less severe and nonhospitalized injuries were common. Thus, need to improve surveillance of a variety of injuries, promote intersectional collaboration, build institutional capacities and mobilize community support and policy as an investment in prevention.

This research is the survey result of the retirement house in Ochiai area that is a famous as mountain village of Japan. This area is being formed in a steep slope and be arranged the building long a side along the contour line. As for the plan type of a main house 'the middle bedroom three-madori(bay) type' and 'the parallel two madori(bay) type' occupy many. As for in the retirement custom of Ochiai area the independence family style (separation/ separate meal/separate household economy) is a principle and a parents family builds the retirement house and move out. The plan. of the retirement house is two-room type of 'Omote(public room) and Uchi(kitchen and living room)' and agree with the plane prototype 'plan constitution of a necessary minimum' of farmhouse of this area.
