Recently we could generation of 3-D simulation image by use of various image contents, so I tried advanced methods very easily leads to the location on the GIS environments. Its used basically air photos and satellite sensor images for them. For the generate 3-D spatial be suitable to matching map coordinates using elevation data from digital topographic files, and matching to 3D spatial image contents through perspectives view condition composed to move according to fixed roads until arrive to location. Through this new system which tourists are able to simulate the interest paths or locations and to visit the cultural inheritance was proposed by combining various spatial data with the multimedia contents. This system provides people with guidance to locate the cultural assets in the Web environments. The developed system which is more convenient to provide tourists with the information and they are able to access automatically to location easily. In the future, the visitors are able to use easily the 3d image contents on the Internet or from the public tour information desk by using the simulation images.

'Long-life' which has been the perennial interest to human beings also carries the risk of multiple losses such as the death of the family members and friends, the loss of physical and cognitive functions. In that regards, living a long life to be the 'oldest-old' could mean not only a 'symbol of successful aging' but also a hardship and low quality of life at the same time. Therefore, the issue of the quality of life of the oldest old has been the subject of the much of the public and research concern in recent days. While there has been increased awareness about the importance of the subjective aspects of the quality of life and meanings attached to the extended life, most researches on the quality of life of the oldest-old have focused only on the objective conditions of the quality of life such as health, economic status and housing conditions. To overcome these limitations this study aims to explore the subject meaning of 'living a long life' in Korean society by investigating centenarians and their caregivers' interpretations of aging experiences. Qualitative data were gathered from the forty-nine Korean centenarians and their caregivers through in-depth interview. Each interview was tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Researchers read each transcript a number of times to get some emerging themes. Most striking result was the fact that most of the centenarians express the 'guilty feelings' and try to offer the 'excuses' about their long life. This results were quite contrary to the results of the studies, done in Japan and western countries like Sweden, United States and Germany, where most of the oldest-old express quite positive interpretations about their long-life and take pride in their longevity. Lack of social support, cohort characteristics of the Korean oldest-old and the cultural interpretations linking the death of children to the long life of older generation are given as possible factors to these unique findings of Korean study. The policy implications of the results are discussed.

I think that South Korea's subway system is technologically advanced like industrialized nations compared to its short history of twenty-six years old, but it is still a little behind in terms of artistic point of view. But, as the subway system is becoming to one of the major transportation, the subway passengers can use not only transportation but also new cultural space. In term of this view, many people are getting interested in the subway murals these days, but the murals in the subway system have been produced inconsistently, so the function is not efficient. Therefore, I compared and analyzed the illustration on the Korean subway murals and successful cases of foreign countries, so I tried to indicate the problems and directions on the Korean subway murals. And I also made a try to stimulate the interest on the new cultural space and provide a pleasant atmosphere and an aesthetic sense. And I expect that near future subway murals will be produced well-planned and professional way even on line aide of administrative and real production for the consents of expression, method of expression and colors.

In the every genre of arts we can find the oriental Yin-Yang idea which has been descended from olden time in the Orient. It arouses our big interest especially in the domain of design and plastic arts as well as in the every field of human culture, and its study and application will enrich the qualities of design and plastic arts. I think it is with the Yin-Yang idea that we have to chase to our own cultural activities to make differance from the others. Without it, we cannot advance any more the traditional heritage into better and higher state of level than the West, and our philosophy and spiritual activities be stagnant in the same cultural categories as oter countris have in common. The countries which have no distinguishing feature of their own are very easy to place themselves in the border of world culture, not in center of it only to give an immitatin of others. I would like to put great emphasis on Yin-Yang idea in the field of design and plastic arts because it will give newness and novelty to all the p대ple who are not familiar with the oriental Yin-Yang idea.
