최근 국내 해양레저 인구의 급속한 증가에 따라 해양 레저산업이 발달할 수 있는 좋은 기회를 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 배경을 바탕으로 해양레저 용품 중 가장 범용성 있는 제품인 공기주입식 튜브데 대한 아이디어 상품개발은 국내 해양레저기업의 매출확대와 신시장 개척을 도울 수 있을 것이다. 연구방법으로는 크게 4단계로 나누어, 기초 선행연구조사(Investigation) - 조사결과의 분석과 종합 (Analysis & Synthesis) - 제품 디자인 개발(Development) - 제품 디자인개발안 평가(Evaluation)로 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 공기주입식 튜브에 패브릭 커버를 씌워 쿠션 또는 아동용 놀이 가구로써 365일 가정에서 이용할 수 있는놀이형 튜브쿠션 디자인을 제안 하였다. 커버로는 촉감이 좋은 감성적 소재의 네오프렌(Neoprene)과 에어메시(Air-mesh) 패브릭을 사용하여 지퍼를 달아 씌우고 벗기기 쉽도록 하였다. 그리고 튜브끼리 끼워 조립하고, 스냅단추가 부착된 스트랩으로 연결하여 의자, 테이블, 터널, 기차 등 다양하게 응용할 수 있어 창의적인 놀이 활동이 가능도록 배려된 디자인이다. 본 연구는 해양레저 상품의 장기적 안목의 관점에서 차별화된 아이디어 상품으로 해양레저 용품 뿐 만 아니라 가정 및 어린이 놀이시설 등 크로스오버(Crossover)된 새로운 블루오션(Blue Ocean)시장을 창출 할 것으로 기대한다.

This cross-sectional study assessed household food insecurity among low-income rural communities and examined its association with demographic and socioeconomic factors as well as coping strategies to minimize food insecurity. Demographic, socioeconomic, expenditure and coping strategy data were collected from 200 women of poor households in a rural community in Malaysia. Households were categorized as either food secure (n=84) or food insecure (n=116) using the Radimer/Cornell Hunger and Food Insecurity instrument. T-test, Chi-square and logistic regression were utilized for comparison of factors between food secure and food insecure households and determination of factors associated with household food insecurity, respectively. More of the food insecure households were living below the poverty line, had a larger household size, more children and school-going children and mothers as housewives. As food insecure households had more school-going children, reducing expenditures on the children's education is an important strategy to reduce household expenditures. Borrowing money to buy foods, receiving foods from family members, relatives and neighbors and reducing the number of meals seemed to cushion the food insecure households from experiencing food insufficiency. Most of the food insecure households adopted the strategy on cooking whatever is available at home for their meals. The logistic regression model indicates that food insecure households were likely to have more children (OR=1.71; p<0.05) and non-working mothers (OR=6.15; p<0.05), did not own any land (OR=3.18; p<0.05) and adopted the strategy of food preparation based on whatever is available at their homes (OR=4.33; p<0.05). However, mothers who reported to borrow money to purchase food (OR=O.84; p<0.05) and households with higher incomes of fathers (OR=O.99; p<0.05) were more likely to be food secure. Understanding the factors that contribute to household food insecurity is imperative so that effective strategies could be developed and implemented.

As number of old and handicapped passengers is increasing in an aging society, it is becoming more and more important to provide safe and convenient subway interior design and direction. In this research, we study basic indispensable conditions for subway chair and propose a chair design direction for old and handicapped people considering their use. In this study, we elicit the rational result based on analysis of Seoul subway design direction. This study should be expanded into universal design for not only old people but also pregnant people and children. The chair for old people is needed to have side partitions and a safety bar for safe walking and to be made of soft materials which has some cushion.
