This study aimed to develop Korean types of the university-based continuing care retirement community. CCRCs (Continuing care retirement communities), where senior residents are guaranteed to get continuous cares without moving out even under their deteriorating health condition, has been identified as the appropriate residences that can accommodate aging-in-place needs. Aging-in-place may be ideal for the increasing senior population and older households. Recently in the United States, as many retirees looked for intellectually and physically active environments that also offer intergenerational programs, university-based retirement communities (UBRCs) became popular and their number reached 60 campuses nationwide. This numbers is expected to grow significantly over the next two decades. We conducted case studies that targeted two representative UBRCs and identified four categories of main features. They were general characteristics, architectural features, services or programs, and management system. This study result highlighted key features of the UBRCs that can be the foundation for the future UBRCs development in Korea.

China has already entered the aging society and is predicted to become a super-aged society in 2020. The recent studies identified that the elderly has more interest in 'Aging-in-Place' which emphasizes deinstitutionalization since welfare facilities such as care homes and silver towns have separated the elderly from their local communities where they used to live in. The aim of this research is to propose a promising way for smart housing services who support the elderly's living in their homes, China. This research is to investigate the elderly's life and to identify their demands on housings for implementing such smart services. The elderly's living in apartments in Luoyang city, China, were investigated through interviews using a questionnaire survey. The results show that smart housing services should be provided to support the elderly's health, safety, leisure activities, comfortable living, and social relationships sustainably. In addition, such smart housing services should be intuitive since the elderly need to use easily smart services for their autonomous life in their homes. The smart housing services should be developed in the direction of enhancing the elderly's healthy and desirable life, and lessening their discomforts due to aging.

The study was initially designed to look into the soon-to-be senior citizens' preferences for the life after retirement in aging society. Its outcomes are to be contributed to grading up the quality of housing culture through examining the expected changes of housing types in the future. The increasing number of the soon-to-be senior citizens becomes leading subjects in information, culture and consumption areas. Therefore it is significant to present a model of housing types for those citizens by analyzing their preferred residence after retirement. To complete those objectives, a set of questionnaires concerning sex, age, district, education and income of those subjects in 40's-50's, who are expected to be more than 20 percent of national population by 2030, were collected and analyzed to find out their preferences over housing types, residential welfare facilities, and co-housing. The results show that the preferences over the residential welfare facilities and co-housing for those who are able to move for themselves are low, while the preferences over single-unit houses in the suburbs within 2 hours from a city are very high. Preferences for apartments in the urban areas are high for those with high income and education. In contrast preferences for life in their hometowns are high for those whose income and education are relatively low. Most of those with some difficulties in moving for themselves want to get help with welfare facilities for the elderly people. And the preferences of those who want to receive help from assistants are different from those preferring to get help from their offsprings, which tells a need for further study of the convertible housing types according to their family members.

초고령사회 진입을 앞두고 우리나라는 노인인구의 급속한 증가로 노인주거 문제가 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 특히, 노인인구의 살던 곳에서 노후 맞이하기(Aging in Place: AIP)는 노인복지의 지향점으로 꾸준히 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 2008-2020년 고령화연구패널 자료와 임의효과 로지스틱 회귀분석 모형을 사용하여 자녀와의 교류가 노인 주거이동에 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자녀와의 교류가 수도권과 비수도권에 무관하게 노인인구의 주거이동을 촉진시킬 확률이 높다는 점을 발견하였다. 둘째, 연령이 증가할수록 자녀와의 교류는 노인인구의 주거이동을 더욱 촉진시키는 경향을 보였으나, 그 영향력은 연령과 변수에 따라 일정치 않게 나타났다. 셋째, 자녀와의 교류 변수들의 상호작용 효과를 통해 노인인구의 주거이동을 더욱 촉진시킬 가능성이 높아짐을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 자녀와의 교류가 노인인구의 주거 안정성을 증진 시켜 독립적인 정주 환경을 구성할 수 있는지, 즉 노인인구의 살던 곳에서 노후 맞이하기 측면에서 정책적 시사점을 제시한다.

As a result of rapid aging speed in our society, many problems related to elderly people have happened in many parts of our society. Among them, supply for elderly housing is one of the biggest problems. To solve these problems, 'long-term care insurance' has been put in operation from July 2008. By the time of the insurance operation, Ministry of Health and Welfare is increasing facilities every year according to '10-year expending plan of Care service infra' from 2002. As a result, the supply rate of elderly facilities has been raised. But the differences of facility supply rate between regions are very high in some cases. Therefore older people who need care sometimes cannot get proper care services in some areas. In that case, the frail older people have to use other care facilities of other regions. This is not a proper situation from the point of "Aging in Place". In order to prevent that case, it is necessary to set up proper 'Daily Living Spheres' and establish elderly care plan for it. Considering the points above, this study proposes the size of 'Daily Living Spheres' for the elderly, the kind and amount of elderly care facilities in it for the construction of Community Based Elderly Care System.

Aging and failure of motor insulation depend on the stresses imposed on it. The insulation life time depends on the severity of the stresses. The electrical aging by transient surge is very important to traction motor in EMU(electric multiple unit). This paper presents the insulation characteristics of stator coil by transient surge from inverter. There are several nondestructive tests available for checking the condition of motor insulation, the probable extent of aging, and the rate of which aging is taking place. So the insulation characteristics of stator coil were each analyzed by measurement of leakage current, dielectric loss($tan{\delta}$), capacitance, polarization index(PI) and partial discharge. The method of diagnosis is able to analyze the aging condition and predict the life of the traction motor in EMU.
