전세계적인 고령화 현상 및 베이비붐세대의 고령층 진입에 따라 시니어 대상 비즈니스에 대한 관심과 기대가 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 수요층에 대한 이해 부족 및 한정적인 내수시장 규모 등 때문에 국내 관련 산업의 성장이 더디게 이루어지고 있다. 이의 활성화를 위해서는 국내 및 해외 시니어에 대한 이해 제고와 이를 기반으로 한 제품 및 서비스 콘텐츠 전략 제시가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 소비가치 개념을 적용하여 연령대(20대 vs. 50대) 및 국가간(한국 vs. 중국) 행동을 탐색함으로써, 각 집단이 중요하게 인식하는 소비가치를 베이비붐세대이자 예비시니어층인 50대 소비자를 중점으로 비교분석하고 이들을 위한 제품 및 서비스 콘텐츠 개발 방향을 제안하였다. 연령 및 국가간 소비가치 비교분석을 위하여 설문을 진행하였으며, 설문문항은 12개 소비가치의 하위차원인 총 40개의 문항으로 구성되었다. 분석결과를 통해 예비시니어층인 50대에 대한 이해 제고가 가능하며 이는 타겟에 적절한 콘텐츠 기획, 개발, 유통, 홍보 등의 전략 구축에 활용될 수 있다.

본 연구는 질병관리청 주관으로 시행된 2019년 지역사회건강조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 수도권과 비수도권 노인의 행복감에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하여 지역별 노인복지 정책 수립 및 노인 복지 프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 도움이 되고자 시행하였다. 연구 대상은 2019년 65세 이상 노인으로 수도권 17,423명, 비수도권 57,124명으로 총 74,547명이 선정되었으며, 자료는 SPSS 26.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 수도권의 경우 행복수준에 75세 이상에서, 배우자가 있는 경우, 소득이 높을수록, 노인이 경제활동을 하는 경우 행복감이 높아졌으며, 비수도권 지역의 경우 75세 이상에서, 학력이 높을수록, 배우자가 있는 경우, 소득이 높을수록, 노인이 경제활동을 하는 경우 행복감이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 건강행태 및 주관적 건강수준은 수도권과 비수도권 모두 현재흡연을 하지 않는 경우, 주관적 스트레스가 없는 경우, 주관적 건강수준과 주관적 구강건강수준이 좋은 경우, 의료 미충족 경험이 없을 때 행복감을 느꼈다. 그러나 비수도권의 경우에는 중증도 신체활동을 하는 경우, BMI 수치가 낮을수록 행복감에 영향을 주는 요인으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 노인들이 보다 행복한 노년을 계획하고 맞이하기 위한 지역별 노인복지 정책 수립이 절실히 요구된다. 또한 고령자 특성에 맞춘 질 높은 일자리 창출을 위한 평생 교육의 기회를 확대하여 신체적 정서적인 행복감을 향상시키기 위한 지속적인 기회제공과 프로그램 개발을 위한 노력이 필요하다.

Designing environments for the elderly includes studying changes in the elderly themselves, changes in their environment, and changes in the intercommunication between the elderly and their environment. The purpose of this study is to provide guidelines for a ubiquitous environment in which seniors can "age in place," using an environment-behavioral approach. 305 subjects aged 45 to 78 take part in the survey research. Temporal sequence (age groups) and behavior (daily activities) are considered as the significant variables to design digital services for the elderly in the perspective of an environment-behavioral approach. Several conclusions can be made. (1) The characteristics of subjects in the over-65 age group shows that they manage an independent lifestyle even if they realize some body functions deteriorate as they age. (2) Over-65 age group is more engaged in healthcare and pastime activities. The male subjects of it are most inactive. (3) The IDA (importance of daily activities) and FDA (frequency of daily activities) are classified by five to six factors in each group. The IDA and FDA of the group aged over 65 differ from other age groups. (4) Five affordance dimensions of digital services for the elderly are proposed: Healthcare, Domesticity, Mobility & Security, Network, and Recreation & Pastime. These affordance dimensions will help research groups or companies design ubiquitous environments to enhance the quality of life of seniors.
