This study examines the human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors that influence social participation among the elderly in the future. The data, 'Survey on the Elderly in 2014', were collected from 'The Ministry of Health & Welfare' and the 'Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs'. The samples included 10,279 elderly people who were over 65 years of age. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings are as follows. First, the highest participation awareness level of all was for the hobbies and leisure activities, and the lowest participation awareness level was for volunteer activities. Second, human capital factors such as age, education level, and health status, and economic capital factors such as household consumption expenditure and standard of living signigicant affected social participation awareness among the elderly. Psychological factors such as self-esteem, depression, and the subjective age of becoming elderly, also affected the social participation awareness. Third, awareness differed by sex. In particular, age and depression were restrictions of social participation awareness that were more common among elderly women than among elderly men, although single women were more likely to participate in religious, learning, and hobby and leisure activities. In contrast, chronic diseases and household consumption expenditures were more restrictive of social participation awareness among elderly men compared to elderly women. These results show that human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors heavily influence the social participation awareness of the elderly, although the degree of influence of these factors differs by sex.

Objectives: While the risk of depression is expected to substantially increase among older adults receiving community care, leisure life satisfaction can be regarded as a key component in enhancing the mental health of those receiving community care. However, it is not yet known whether community care utilization increases the risk of depression, or what role is played by leisure life satisfaction in these settings. This study investigated the relationship between community care utilization and depression, as well as the main effect and the moderating role of leisure life satisfaction on the link between community care utilization and depression among older adults. Methods: This study, using the 2019 Korean Welfare Panel Survey, conducted multiple regression analysis on data from 4494 elderly people aged 65 years or older. Results: After controlling for potential covariates, older community care recipients were more likely to report symptoms of depression than those who did not receive community care. Meanwhile, leisure life satisfaction was negatively associated with depression in older adults. The test for interaction between community care utilization and leisure life satisfaction revealed that leisure life satisfaction significantly attenuated the link between depression and community care utilization. Conclusions: The findings of this study imply that leisure life satisfaction could play a meaningful role in improving the mental health of older adults receiving community care. Welfare policies affecting older adults should consider leisure life satisfaction as an important resource for reducing depression in community care settings.

Elderly welfare housing refers to a residential facility with diverse medical and welfare services for cohabitation of elderly. Especially, community shared spaces in the elderly welfare housing plays an important role as a place for community and leisure activities that enhance vitality of elderly life. The purpose of this study was to investigate types, planning characteristics and actual utilization of community shared spaces in for-profit elderly welfare housing. Eight for-profit elderly welfare housing facilities in Seoul and Gyeonggi province were selected for this study and categorized into small-, medium- and large-scale facilities based on the number of housing units. Community shared spaces in the elderly welfare housing were classified into six space types: social space, education space, exercise space, medical space, convenience space and leisure space. Findings are as follows. Small-scale elderly welfare housing facilities with less than 100 housing units had fitness centers, clinics, restaurants, convenience stores and hobby rooms which were required by law. All community shared spaces were planned on a single level. Fitness centers was found the most frequently used while the other spaces were not used very frequently. Medium-scale facilities with 100 to 299 housing units had multi-purpose halls, libraries, swimming pools, indoor and/or outdoor driving ranges, physical therapy centers, saunas, karaokes and so on. Most community shared spaces were found frequently used. Large-scale facilities with 300 or more housing units had religion rooms, community halls, hair salons, pharmacies, etc. In most facilities, community shared spaces were planned in distributed locations.

The time management and allotments for various activities of daily life is much different by age groups. This study analyzes time allotments of different age groups for various activities of daily life to figure out the change of main activity by aging through 2009 time use survey by National Statistical Office. Especially we focus on time allotments of rural elderly population and intangible factors for life quality of people instead of physical and environmental elements. The results show that there is a large gap of time allotments for paid and unpaid working time of rural and urban elderly population. Whereas the time for leisure of elderly women in rural areas is much shorter than that of urban elderly women and rural elderly men spend more time to provide community services and help to other households. However, the percentage leisure time of rural elderly people for passive activities such as TV, radio, magazine etc. is longer than that of urban elderly people. We hope that our analysis data could be used for developing new policies and project to improve the life quality of rural elderly population.

본 연구는 고령자연구패널조사 자료를 사용하여 노인들의 신체적 운동과 사회적 네트워크 참여가 우울증상 경험 가능성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 살펴본다. 본 연구는 로지스틱 모형을 기반으로 분석을 수행하였다. 노인의 우울에 영향을 미치는 광범위한 통제변수들을 분석모형에 포함시켜 누락변수편이를 최소화 하였다. 또한 서로 다른 여가활동 방식이 우울에 미치는 복합적인 영향을 분석하였다는 점에서 기존 연구와 차별성을 가진다. 실증분석 결과는 신체적 운동과 사회적 네트워크에 참여하는 노인은 그렇지 않는 노인들에 비해 우울증을 경험할 가능성이 더 낮음을 보인다. 본 연구는 신체적 운동이나 사회적 네트워크가 노인들의 정신 건강에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 실증적 근거를 제시함으로써, 여가활동이 노인의 신체적, 정신적 건강에 영향을 미치는 메커니즘을 분석하는 연구에 기반을 제공한다.

본 연구는 고령자의 삶의 만족도를 높이기 위해 가상현실(Virtual Reality: VR) 기기 및 콘텐츠를 활용하고 체험하는 것에 초점을 두었다. 여가 활동은 일자리가 없는 고령자의 주된 활동이다. 결과적으로, 여가 활동의 다양성과 질이 고령자의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미친다. 동영상 콘텐츠를 포함한 가상현실 서비스는 고령자들에게 발전되고 흥미로운 경험들을 제공할 수 있다. 전세계에 걸쳐, 인구 고령화는 각 사회에서 가장 중요한 문제들 중 하나가 되었다. 고령화에 따른 사회적, 경제적 부담은 한국을 포함해 세계의 지속가능성에 심각한 도전이 되고 있다. 저자들은 고령 피험자(50세부터 90세까지)를 대상으로 VR의 사용을 연구한다. 본 실험에서 저자들은 시스템 품질, 인터페이스 품질, 현존감, 즐거움, 재이용 의도, 첨단과학기술 인식을 포함한 요인들을 연구하고 측정한다. 회귀분석에서 근접감(t=5.381, p<.01)과 선명감(t=4.494, p<.01)은 VR의 현존감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인이다. VR의 현존감(설명 변수)은 즐거움(t-4.312, p<.01)과 재이용 의도(t=3.323, p<.01)에 유의미한 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 고령 피험자는 VR에서 현존감을 더 느낄수록, 더욱 높은 즐거움과 재이용 의도를 느낀다고 볼 수 있다. 결국, 새로운 과학기술에 익숙하지 않은 고령자도 가상현실 서비스를 이용해 여가 활동의 질을 개선할 수 있음을 시사한다.
