This research paper explores selected behavioral outcomes of a multi-sensory environment. An experimental study was conducted at a specialized facility for the ageing in Sweden. The objective was to explore the effects of agitated behaviors of ageing residents with dementia and to identify any short-term effects. Appointed nursing staff was instructed to record physically and verbally agitated behaviors on three occasions; pre-session, mid-session, and post-session. Over seven months, nine participants received sixty-one sessions in the multi-sensory room. ANOVA and Post hoc multiple comparisons were performed to identify the differences in mean between each session. Generally irritated/frustrated behavior and eating/drinking non foods revealed statistically significant differences, while there were no significant results in verbally agitated behavior. One short-term effect was observed in one agitated category; a reduction of generally irritated/frustrated behavior. These results suggest that the multi-sensory environment can have positive effects on some manifestations of agitated behavior. This study proposes that a multi-sensory environment may be recommended as an alternative intervention for physically agitated behavior among this category of residents. However, more research is needed to understand the specific effects and the best use of the multi-sensory environment for this population.

When rate of stated and public owned demesne in residential environment improvement is low under the limited resources of revenues, the new infrastructure for the maintenance of the existing estate has increased land reduction rate thus the place where lot of small estate find it difficult to accept as the feature of residential environment improvement. Although 'Diffusion model of residential environment improvement' which designed to overcome existing residential environment improvement, is middle of progress, there is not any suggestion made to solve problem caused by short of estate in order to maintain small estate and total Infrastructure. In feature of resident, we also notice ageing not only facilities and building. 'Elderly housing' can be presented as an alternative living style to solve housing and elderly matter which are caused by accumulation of individual estate and aging at once. Therefore, this research identifies resident's perception about elderly housing and recognizes task and potentialities that has to be solved in order to apply virtually to residential environment improvement.

This study examined whether structural (coresidence, proximity) and associational (frequency of face-to-face contact, frequency of contact via phone, email or letter) solidarity between adult children and older parents may influence older parents' cognitive functioning. Adult children may help delay older parents' cognitive decline by promoting healthier lifestyle, engaging parents in complex everyday problem solving, and providing emotional support. The data consisted of men and women 65+ at Wave 1 who had at least one child 20+ and participated in at least two waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, N=3,961). Cognitive functioning was measured with the Korean version of the Mini Mental State Examination. Fixed effects models were estimated using the xtreg procedure in STATA. Findings suggest that increases in proximity with at least one adult child may lead to enhanced cognitive functioning among older parents. Neither transitioning to coresidence with at least one adult child nor increases in frequency of contact with at least one non-resident adult child was associated with changes in older parents' cognitive functioning. With older parents' increasing preference for living close by, but not necessarily living with adult children, greater proximity may provide more opportunities for reciprocal support exchanges between the two generations, leading to better cognitive functioning of older parents.

산업 및 사회발전의 고도화를 통해 국내 도시는 주택 및 각종 시설이 개선된 반면, 농촌은 그에 크게 미치지 못하고 있다. 또한, 주민의 고령화로 인한 유지보수를 적기에 실시 못하는 문제나, 경제적으로 어려운 상황 속에서 제대로 된 공법, 기술, 재료를 이용한 개축 등을 하는 것을 기대할 수 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 농촌주민의 고령화 및 농촌주거의 노후화에 따른 문제점에 대한 현황조사를 통해 지역실정에 적합한 농촌주거의 재생방안을 모색하였다. 그 결과, 주거양식은 한국의 전통가옥양식이 절반가량을 차지하고 있었으며, 서구식 주거양식의 농촌주택에 비해 상대적으로 주거수준이 열악한 것으로 나타났다. 구조형식은 순수구조와 복합구조가 각기 절반씩을 차지하고 있었으며, 그 중에서 한국의 전통가옥양식은 순수구조보다는 복합구조가 많았다. 이는 본래의 모습으로는 내구성능, 거주자의 용도 등의 기능을 충족시킬 수 없기 때문에 거주자에 의해 지속적인 변화가 계속되었기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 문제점에 대해 농촌지역의 특성에 알맞는 농촌주거 개선이 필요하다.

Objective: This study examined correlates of residential proximity between parents and non-coresident married children. A majority of existing studies on intergenerational living arrangement has focused on exploring factors that are associated with intergenerational coresidence only, despite an increasing number of parents and children who do not live together but close by. Because residential proximity facilitates frequent contacts and support exchanges between the two generations, it is important to understand its correlates. Method: The data were drawn from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 3,950 parents with 10,946 non-coresident married children. Both regression with robust standard errors and sibling fixed effects regression models were estimated using the reg and xtreg procedures in STATA. Results: Younger, less depressed, and more physically impaired parents lived closer to at least one of their married children (within a 30-minute distance by public transportation). Fathers (compared to mothers), parents living in cities (compared to those living in rural areas), parents with at least one co-resident child or fewer numbers of married children tended to have at least one married child living nearby. With regard to child characteristics, married children who were less educated, homeowners, and had more children lived closer to their parents. Also, sons (compared to daughters) lived in closer distance to their parents. Conclusion: Overall, findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may primarily be motivated by the childcare needs of married children or parents' needs for assistance with functional impairment. Also, the traditional patrilineal norms of intergenerational support may still be a critical factor in residential decisions as observed in the difference between married sons and daughters in proximity to their parents.

농산어촌지역은 전체국토의 80%이상을 차지하고 있으나 대부분 낙후되고 생활환경이 불편하여 청년층의 도시로 이동 및 고령화로 인구가 감소하여 마을 공동화현상은 물론 지역사회의 침체가 가중되고 있다. 이 연구는 농산어촌지역 중하나인 충청남도 부여군 외산면 면소재지를 대상으로 면소재지 종합정비사업에 있어서 단순한 거점기능강화를 위한 계획이 아닌 지역특성을 고려한 복합적 개발계획의 방법론을 제시하였다. 읍면소재지 기능강화 측면에서 하드웨어 중심의 계획수립이 불가피하나, 대상지역 주민의 역량강화 역시 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 즉, 계획에 의해 추진된 각 사업은 지역주민이 중심이 되어 운영될 것이므로, 이에 대한 관리체계 확립이 필요하다. 수립된 계획의 성패는 대상지역에 대한 현안와 수요에 대한 정확한 조사가 바탕이 되며, 이는 대상지역 주민들의 참여와 호응에 달려있다. 즉, 계획수립지역의 주민참여효과를 높이기 위하여 '지역주민 연결망'분석과 같은 방안이 필요하다.

본 연구는 중 고령 노인의 우울과 연관이 높은 사회적 배제 요인 7가지를 새롭게 정의하고, 각 사회적 배제 요인과 노인의 우울의 연관성을 성별 차이를 중심으로 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이에 고령화연구패널조사(KLoSA) 6차년도(2016년) 자료 중 50세 이상 중 고령 노인을 추출하여 분석에 활용하였다. 자료의 분석은 SAS 9.4를 이용하여 기술분석, 카이제곱검정 및 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 노동, 주거, 건강, 관계가 배제된 노인이 우울과 연관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 남성은 주거 배제된 노인이 그렇지 않은 노인보다 우울과 연관이 있는 것으로 나타나 우울 연관 요인에서 성별 차이가 확인되었다. 이에 사회적 배제가 높게 나타난 요인인 노동과 문화에 대해 노인이 참여할 수 있는 지역 사회 프로그램 개선이 필요하며, 다양한 문화 프로그램의 참여 기회를 높여 노동과 문화 배제 해소를 통해 우울을 개선해야 한다. 또한 전반적인 노인의 사회적 배제 해소를 위한 구체적 지침의 마련이 필요하다.
