Background and purpose: Cardiovascular disease will undoubtedly rise along with the aging of the 'baby-boom' generation. The purpose of this study is to find the new index of the cardiovascular aging. Methods: The effects of aging on the heart and the arterial system are surveyed in the point of structure and function. Results: Arterial stiffening is due to the fatiguing effects of periodic stress on the arterial wall and is the main reason for increasing pulse wave velocity. The systolic hypertension is caused by the early return of wave reflection. The increased after-load by the arterial change leads to the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. The reduction in left ventricular compliance cause the impairments of the diastolic function. In contrast to the lower limb, aging effect in the upper limb are almost due to the ascending aortic pressure wave and the reflected wave from the lower limb. Conclusion: We have the following points. (1) The change of physiological pulse pattern by age can be explained by the early returning of reflected wave. (2) The atrial pulse in old age are generated by the left ventricular hypertrophy.

As part of alternative of elderly problems in the future super-aging society, this study aims to extract an improvement plan of interior environment design of Seoul-type day care centers to expand in future by observing day care centers as medical and healing environments, from the perspective of user experience. For this study, after selecting major activity areas of representative cases of Seoul-type day care centers, user behaviors in the space were observed and 4 seniors of baby-boom generation who are potential uses were chosen as personas by reflecting characteristics of healthy elderly, physical aging, mental aging and infirm elderly, from the perspective of user experience. Based on previous studies on healing environments, these characteristics and demands of personas were classified into environmental aspects, physical aspects and mental aspects to extract an improvement plan. The study results are as follows. First, interior environment design reflecting persona characteristics helps the elderly adapt to the environment and provides a comfortable environment like home for stability, treatment and recovery of memory. Second, interior environment design reflecting persona characteristics helps psychological healing through light entering the large windows and natural environment elements. Third, for interior environment design reflecting persona characteristics, finish materials with bright and soft colors should be used to change the images of facilities positively. Fourth, spatial composition should be remedied through division of space and built-in furniture depending on the needs of users for loitering of extra time and programs.

The Korean Population Control Program has been implementing under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs through an existing network of health centers. This arrangement was successful in bringing population growth down to targeted level by the end of the Fourth Five Year Economic Planning, 1981. It is expected, however, that future goal will be harder to reach due to difficulty of reducing traditional family size norms further and to the projected increasing the number of eligible couples as the past Korean war baby boom generation enters the reproductive activity in the next few years. The recognition of the need for modification of population policy is increasing. The 1980 census shows that the total number of population reached approximately 38.5 million with 1.57 per cent of the growth rate. It was projected that the size of Korean Population will reach around 42 million and 51 million in 1986 and 2000 respectively. Furthermore, there is some argument as to whether decline in the birth rate in Korea is too slow to meet government target. Hence, a new development of population policy and greatly increased amount of effort will be needed in order to achieve Zero Population Growth Rate before the year 2050. The development of future national population policy and its related area are recommended as follow: 1. It is highly recommended that the population planning law governing both vital events of birth and death and population migration should be legislated. 2. The National Population Policy Council, Chaired by Deputy Prime Minister should be activated to implement and coordinate population program within ministries. 3. Responsible organization of population and family planning program should be established as a Bureau unit at central government level. 4. For the improvement of national vital registration, an existing system should be studied and developed.

본 연구에서는 MZ세대의 주거환경특성, 주거만족도, 주거소유의식 및 주거이동에 대한 이론적 고찰과 선행연구를 검토하고, 2020년 한국주거실태조사 자료를 중심으로 AMOS를 이용하여 구조방정식 모형을 분석한다. 주거환경특성 14개 항목을 3가지 요인으로 분석하여 주거만족도, 주거소유의식, 주거이동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, MZ세대의 주거환경에서 14개 항목을 대상으로 주성분분석의 Varimax로 요인분석을 수행하였다. 14개 항목 중 주차시설 항목은 유효성을 저해하여 분석대상에서 제외되었으며, 그 결과 KMO는 0.925, Bartlett의 검사결과는 0.01 미만의 유의한 확률을 보여 요인분석 모형이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, MZ세대의 구조방정식 분석 결과를 보면 주거환경특성의 잠재변수인 주변환경성은 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으나 접근용이성, 이용편의성은 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 셋째, MZ세대와 같은 젊은 세대일수록 소비에 대한 욕구가 강하기 때문에 상업시설 접근용이성에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 주거보유의식은 유의하게 나타난 것으로 보인다. 넷째, MZ세대의 전반적인 주거만족도는 주거이동에는 유의하게 나타났지만 주거보유의식에는 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 따르면 MZ세대는 산업화세대, 베이비붐세대, X세대와 다른 주거환경특성의 차이가 나타나고 있고, 그 요인은 주거만족도와 주거보유의식 및 주거이동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 주거실태조사의 주거환경특성 항목들을 시대의 흐름에 맞게 개선하고 보완해야 하고, 정부와 지방자치단체는 주거양극화를 줄이기 위하여 세대의 환경과 특성에 맞는 주택시장에 적극적으로 참여할 수 있도록 지원이 우선시 되어야 한다. 그리고 앞으로 코로나19와 같은 특수한 시간적 상황에서는 어떻게 영향을 미치며 차이가 나타나는지 주거관련 연구의 필요성이 있다는 시사점을 제공한다.

Objectives: There are few studies which reflects of each generation's own features, of the New Middle Age and the Elderly's hearing status and their quality of life even though the population of old age has been weighted as baby boom generation's entering into old age. This study is to identify the effects of the new middle age and the elderly's hearing status on their quality of life and to prepare the customized health policies for their health promotion and quality of life improvement as well as the base line data for hearing enhancement programs. Methods: This study was analyzed using the data of the 7th term of the National Health and Nutrition Survey of the Disease Management headquarters. Out of 8,150 adults over the age of 50 who participated in the hearing test, 3,306 were selected and analyzed. Results: At the result of identifying the correlation of hearing status and the quality of life between the New Middle Age and the Elderly, it was confirmed that hearing loss affects low quality of life. The average of quality of life between the New Middle Age and the Elderly was 0.95 and 0.85 each, resulting in higher quality of life in New Middle Age than in the Elderly. The factors affecting the quality of life of the New Middle Age were the level of the education, household income, the type of health insurance, subjective health status. The factors affecting the quality of life of the Elderly were gender, the type of health insurance, subjective health status. Conclusion: Hearing loss of the New Middle Age and the Elderly affects their low quality of life. Therefore the development and the provision of policy program is needed, so as to maintain and manage hearing through age-specific health education. It is expected that the second half of the New Middle Age's life will be much happier, if not taking the treatment-oriented approach of hearing loss only but strengthening the education needed for the maintenance and the management of healthy hearing at their work place, where 50 and 60 generations' workforce has been increased.

본 연구는 노인일자리사업 정책과정에서의 이용자 참여에 관한 탐색적 연구로서, 정책 결정 및 집행 과정에서 소위 정책대상자이자 이용자인 노인들의 참여는 어떻게 이루어지는가에 관한 연구 질문에서 시작되었다. 노인일자리사업이 비교적 성공적으로 자리잡고 있는 서울시 A구 사례를 중심으로 중앙정부에서부터 사업수행 기관의 실무선까지 정책과정의 각 단계 담당자들과의 인터뷰를 통한 질적 연구를 바탕으로 하였다. 분석 결과, 정책결정과정에서의 이용자 직접 참여는 전무(全無)하다고 볼 수 있으며, 이는 하향식 정책과정의 구조적 한계와 관료들이 파악하는 현재 노인들의 역량 부족에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, '윗선'의 인식변화와 주요 이슈에 관한 '사회적 합의'는 이러한 경직된 정책과정에 변화를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 정책집행 과정에서도 이용자 참여는 근무환경의 개선 등 제한된 범위 내에서 부분적으로 이루어지고 있었는데, 이에는 사업수행기관의 적극적인 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 기관의 적극적 지원이 뒷받침되었을 때 참여노인의 역량 강화에 따라 사업에의 참여도와 만족도 역시 높아지는 것으로 나타나 실질적 지원의 강화가 현 시점에서 이용자 참여를 높이는 데 매우 중요함을 시사하고 있다. 한편, 관련자들은 베이비 붐 세대의 은퇴 이후, 즉 미래 노인들의 참여 행태는 노인들의 역량 면에서나 사회적인 인식 면에서 기존 노인세대와는 다를 것으로 예상하고 있었다. 이는 미래의 활발한 이용자 참여를 위해서는 정부를 비롯한 관련 기관들이 지금부터 정책적인 준비와 지원을 해야 함을 시사한다.

Senior citizens' new life style has appeared according to the massive retirement of the baby boom generation since 2010. Consequently, Senior Welfare Centers, the provider of elderly leisure programs, has been asked for the programs and spaces which are able to meet the changing life style of the elderly. This study focuses on the survey for current status of leisure programs in accordance with the changing life style and on the investigation for sensible usage of space in senior welfare centers in Gwangju Metropolitan city. The result shows the portion of the programs which every center provides is quite different according to the life style. The program types for challenge and utility are provided 192 times a week and the program types for health and sociality 133 times a week. Both types shows high frequency of supply and use of the program especially 85 times of information-oriented education, 64 times of musical instruments, and 42 times of foreign language are supplied vividly. On the contrary, the program types for fashion and self-management and the program types for volunteer work and achievement are insufficient, so It should be reconsidered to establish the programs and to supply the space for the program from now on. The current status for spatial usage shows that most of the centers share a space for several programs. It means that the space of the Senior Welfare Center is limited and various programs should be run in the narrow space. High frequency programs like the program types for challenge and utility secure sufficient spaces not to miscarry the use for the programs. The center of case B has well equipped and large space and provides proper space for each programs to meet the demand of the senior citizens. Like these, Senior Welfare Centers in Gwangju Metropolitan city have supported Senior citizens' Life Style by supplying various leisure programs to meet the demand for it. This research could be used as the basis for the programs about the spatial utilization in accordance with various future life style of Senior citizens'.

Purpose - There is a recent social trend that is focused on the revitalization of business-founding. Business-founding now has an important impact on the progress of the national economy because of youth unemployment and an increase in baby-boom generation retirees. However, the support and infrastructure required for business-founding of the disabled are very insufficient. Since most supporting policies are on youth or middle-aged business-founding, business-founding by the disabled and the socially weak is losing competitiveness. Accordingly, this study diagnosed the issues by analyzing the current status of business-founding by the disabled and suggested a fostering direction for the advance of business-founding by the disabled. An idea for the founding of various business items is required for the competitiveness of business-founding by the disabled and the establishment of a growth-model based on marketing is required so that business-founding by the disabled would advance toward commercialization with growth potential. Research design, data, and methodology - Regarding the study method, the existing study literature on the status and issues in business-founding was mainly explored. In addition, the existing literature on the status and issues in business-founding by the disabled was also studied. The support on business-founding by the disabled by policy enforced by the 'Welfare Service Agency for the Disabled'and the support of related agencies including financial support on the commercialization of business-founding by the disabled were also examined. Results - Existing studies on business-founding by the disabled are very insufficient. It is very difficult to study a viable business-founding by the disabled fostering policy without thorough learning on the difficulties of business-founding by the disabled. Therefore, this study suggested a direction for the resolution of various issues such as market, funds, item, operational matters, and service by analyzing the difficulties in business-founding by the disabled until now. Particularly, this study suggested that building a commercialization model from the aspect of marketing strategy and the effort to change the growth aspect of the disabled into competitiveness are essential. Conclusions - This study examined the aspect of developing an item-development process for the growth and founding of disabled-owned businesses and the requirement of a government support system by multiple policies. Since the number of studies on business-founding by the disabled is very small, it is expected that this study would become an important study in the field of business-founding by the disabled. The revitalization of business-founding by the disabled substantially contributes to the progress of the state of the economy and continuous interest is required from the viewpoint of equal advance in the society. Success models in business-founding by the disabled should be created continuously and active publicizing of them to the disabled business-founders by analyzing the success cases would also be required. In addition, it is believed that a market entry strategy by way of a win-win strategy and cooperative relation with big companies should be also developed in the future.
