The purpose of this study is to identify the physical safety factors and indicators needed to create an age-friendly city where elderly people can live safely and continuously in the era of aging and to evaluate the differences between the five urban communities. For the study, AHP analysis was conducted to calculate the importance of factors and indicators, based on a checklist was made this. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the degree of physical safety perceived by the elderly people aged 65 and older living in Seoul, the difference between the five urban communities in Seoul was confirmed. The research finding are summarized as follows: The score of evaluating grade was the highest in the northwest, northeast was the lowest followed by the northwest, downtown, southeast, southwest, northeast. Among the physical safety factors, the safety of outdoor spaces and buildings was the highest in the downtown and the lowest in the southwest. On pedestrian safety, the downtown was the highest and the lowest was northeast. Regards to the transportation safety, the northwest was the highest and the northeast was the lowest.

The number of elderly citizens has risen in Korea and resulted in an aging society. Correspondingly, the social interest in the aging population has escalated immensely; however, research or product development on the quality of life for seniors has shortcomings. Healthcare smart clothing is required to help the elderly with changes and weaknesses that follow aging; however, there is unfortunately insufficient amounts available. This study explores the feasibilities of smart clothing for seniors based on a universal design. Based on previous research, we analyzed the universal design theory, body shape characteristics and design requirements for seniors, and heart rate measurement method. The design is different according to body shape and body shape is different between sex, age, and body race; therefore, subjects were limited to 70-74 year old Korean males in this study. This study proposes a guideline for heart rate sensing clothing that satisfies the 'universal design' aspects as well as the functionality of heart sensing, senior's physical characteristics and needs. It has broadened the range of smart clothing, which was once limited to the younger generation and provided a foundation for the development of specialized smart clothing for seniors.

Recently, In Korea, diverse elderly facilities have increased by geometric progression cope with rapidly aging society. But, there haven't been enough systematic understanding about elderly housing. To approach the concept of elderly housing, the clear theory of its definition and types should be established. Thus, the purpose of this study is to set up the concept of elderly housing and clear definition, and to recreate criteria fit our situation. This study was proceeded by contents analysis of elderly housing environment in prior research. First, we understand the use of terms about elderly housing in references and redefine. Then, analyze the cases of categorizations in developed countries. Finally, the research point out current problems and make criteria in housing environmental aspects. This study leads new perspective to consist synthetic services according to special conditions of elderly, far from the economical point of view. It will contribute to understand elderly housing designing aging friendly environment.

우리나라의 고령인구는 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으나, 고령친화식품에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 현 고령자와 향후 고령친화식품 구매 가능성이 큰 중장년층을 대상으로 설문을 진행 및 분석하여 고령 친화 Home Meal Replacement(HMR) 식품개발의 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 HMR 구매 경험은 중장년층이 높았으며, 간단 조리 후 먹는 음식을 선호하는 응답자가 많았고, 오프라인을 통한 구매 비율이 더 높게 나타났다. HMR 선택속성 요인은 5개로, 식생활 라이프스타일은 4개로 나뉘었으며, 군집분석 결과 고관여, 중관여, 저관여 집단으로 분류되었다. Napping^® 분석 결과, 제품을 HMR과 밀키트, 국물이 맑은 제품과 진한 제품으로 구분하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 고령친화 HMR 식품개발 시 차별적인 방안을 제시하는 데 도움이 될 것이라 기대한다.

Since aging has become one of most hot and serious issues in the whole global world, universal design as a strategic concept to enable the elderly age in place has received much attention and its importance is getting recognized. Japan has undergone the Aging phenomenon much earlier than Korea and other countries. During that time, through much trials and errors, it accumulated the wisdoms and techniques to precede aging friendly environment and products. Therefore current Japan house is a comprehensive setting which embraces lots of universal design features that has a valuable implication for Korean development that faces fast aging future. The purpose of this study was to delineate characteristics of universal design features appeared in Japanese Model houses. One site of housing park in the city where various model houses of representative housing construction companies was selected as a cluster area for data collecting. Data were collected mainly through field survey at the housing park of Tokyo during November, 2006, and additional data were collected through website and company information of relevant company. Universal design features were extracted for 17 houses of the housing park and sorted and analyzed according to the analysis frame. The frame were made using 2 major clusters; space area, and 8 universal design principle. Results showed a range of universal design feature and its detail universal design principle satisfied. The 8 principle currently developed became to house realistic practical examples and theory became proved its impractical power. The academic, educational and industrial implication were documented.

우리나라는 2000년 이후 EU의 지구온난화에 따른 환경 규제 강화, 고유가 추세 그리고 농촌 인구분포의 고령화 등에 따라 친환경에너지를 기반으로 하는 농촌 소상공인을 위한 다목적 전기차에 대한 니즈 강화가 시장의 큰 흐름이 되고 있다. 농촌 소상공인을 위한 다목적 전기차는 적은 비용으로 유지가 가능하고 친환경 에너지의 활성화를 통한 온실 가스를 감축할 뿐 아니라 고령화 되어가고 있는 농업 종사자의 노동 강도를 줄이고 야간작업 및 물류 운반을 위하여 매우 혁신적인 운송수단이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 친환경 에너지 정책 시행과 함께 영세 규모의 농촌 소상공인들이 비포장도로와 웅덩이가 많은 농로환경에서 쉽게 운행할 수 있고, 농작물 운반 시 노동 강도를 줄일 수 있으며, 사고 시에도 저렴한 비용으로 간단하게 부품을 교체할 수 있는 농촌 다목적 모듈형 전기차를 제안하기 위하여 기존 문헌들을 고찰하고 국내외 전기차를 벤치마킹하여 12개의 모듈형 부품을 제시한다. 본 논문은 모듈형 전기차의 산업계는 물론 디자인계의 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

최근 전자제품에 납이나 크롬, 수은 등 중금속을 사용하지 않고 환경친화적으로 대체해 가는 업체들이 늘고있다. 선진국에서는 납을 사용하지 않는 무연솔더가 개발되면서 납땜 공정이 거의 사라지고 있으나 무연솔더의 경우 친환경적이지만 가격이 비싸고 납에 비해 접착성과 내구성 등이 떨어져 개량이 필요한 것이 현실이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 TIG 용접을 이용하여 실내등의 도입선과 베이스부에 대한 이종금속 용접기술을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 기존의 실내등 제작공정을 파악하여 용접 공정으로 대체할 수 있는 방안을 마련하였고 TIG 용접 파라미터의 최적값을 선정하기 위해 시험을 수행하였다. 마지막으로 전구 수명 시험과 내진성 평가를 실시하여 용접된 실내등의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to develop quantitative usability evaluation criteria for senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot. Background: The Republic of Korea has become the most rapidly aging society, and is anticipated to enter the post-aged society in 2026. To raise the quality of life of a senior with limited mobility and to reduce the burden of caregivers, many high-tech assistive products with information technologies are developed nowadays. The senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot is one person robot vehicle to move a senior to the destination for hospitals, nursing homes or silver town complex. With built-in navigation system and environmental monitoring censors, it automatically seeks the path to the destination and avoids collision to obstacles and pedestrians on the way. Due to the early stage of the product, few usability studies in this field have been done, mostly on general service robots to assist seniors, power wheelchairs and delivery robots. ISO and KS standards for the service robots are focused on safety. Method: Based on the reference usability index, the early draft of the usability evaluation questionnaires was developed. After small group tests and interviews, the experts modified the initial draft to the Usability Evaluation Criteria for Senior-Friendly Autonomous Transportation Robot (UEC-SFATR). Result: UEC-SFATR consisted of 4 subscales - Safety, Controllability, Efficiency and Satisfaction. All of the 4 subscales of UEC-SFATR were passed the reliability criteria by 4 groups of seniors, divided by gender and familiarity of smart-devices. Conclusion: UEC-SFATR covers wider area of user experiences of the SFATR and is a good measurement tool to help both the users and developers of the robot. Application: This study provides guide to the future product development and product competitiveness evaluation by quantifying user experiences for the SFATR.

광노화의 주요 요인인 자외선으로부터 피부를 보호하는 것은 피부노화를 막는 중요한 해결책 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 자연친화적 친환경적인 다양한 형태의 소재개발이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 미세조류(Chlamydomonas hedleyi.)로부터 Mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA)를 분리 정제 하여 인간 피부세포에서 UV protection 효과를 확인하였다. MAAs 중 porphyra-334를 분리하여 피부세포에서 UV protection 및 항염 효능을 시험하였고 그 결과 porphyra-334가 UV로부터 피부세포를 보호하여 cell viability가 약 26% 정도 증가하였고 COX-2 발현 40% 이상 저해함을 통해 항염 효능을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 porphyra-334의 자외선 차단용 소재뿐 아니라 항염 관련 소재로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
