노인복지시설은 입소자들의 신체적, 정신적 능력이 쇠퇴하여 화재 등의 재난시 많은 인명피해가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 현재 운영되고 있는 노인복지시설의 건축물 구조적 문제, 소방시설의 설치 및 관리에 관한 문제, 소방안전관리자 업무에 관한 문제점 등 소방안전관리실태에 대해 조사, 분석하였다. 최근 대형화재사고 발생 후 관련법령의 개정에 따른 소방시설의 소급적용 등으로 다소 보완되었으나 전반적으로 소방안전관리실태는 아직도 미비한 상태이다. 따라서 관련법령의 추가적인 정비를 통해 건축물 및 소방시설의 안전성과 소방안전관리실태를 개선해나가야 한다.

Among welfare facilities for the elderly, necessity for the elderly welfare with diverse advantages is rising in the Small-scale Elderly Care Facilities. The government is expecting great demand in the future. However, current the Facilities lack construction plans that consider characteristics of the elderly. Accordingly, 14 case facilities located in JeollaNamdo and Gwangju were selected to comprehensively analyze the circulation of seniors at care facilities by computing spatial depth and visible area variables. As a result of this study, average spatial depth of bathroom, resting room, physical therapy room and dining hall that seniors frequently get in contact with was found to be deep, but visible area appropriate for the function of space was not available. It showed that the circulation for the elderly was deep spatially and long physically, and the spatial rank along circulation which is perceived visually by the admitted the elderly was clear, thus, providing them abundant visual experience supported by high openness as they move from private space to public space. The obtained visibility, however, was observed not to be matched with the function of each space. Since the Small-scale Elderly Care Facilities require various spaces within small surface area, actual functions of each space must be taken into consideration with hierarchical space organization to obtain an environment that stimulates senses such as vision and hearing. In addition, since the circulation of seniors using facilities must consider aging characteristics and delicate care on spatial depth and physical distances, in-depth studies on planning of the circulation in care facilities are deemed necessary.

This study investigated the current oral health conditions of the elderly at home and welfare facilities in their age over 65 years around some rural areas in Gangwon province, which would expect the fewer medical benefits even with lower interest than urban areas, despite of relatively high ratio of elder populations, so that it could prepare a basic document necessary to determine certain planned quantification for the benefit of elder's oral healthcare. As of the end of December 2004 both 50 elders at home and 50 elders at welfare facilities were randomly sampled in their age over 65 years in Samcheok city. As a result of this study, it was found that the elders at welfare facilities scored 15 pts. in DMFT index level typical of oral health conditions, which was higher than the elders at home. In addition, the elders at welfare facilities scored 26.0% in the coexistence of immobile bridge and partial denture higher than the elders at home with regard to the presence of intraoral prosthetic appliance. The results of analyzing the difference in the one-year dental visiting experience of respondents hereof showed that the elders at home were relatively more in ratio(62.0%) than those at welfare facilities, while many of the former group(38.0%) had relatively more handicap in masticatory movement than the latter one with regard to the conditions of dental prosthesis in use. Besides, many of the elders at facilities(30% or more) felt subjective symptoms of periodontal disease including bleeding or swelling, which indicates higher ratio than the elders at home. Finally, the elders at home used to brush their teeth at more frequency on a daily basis than those at facilities, while the latter group suffered general body disease more than the former group. Summing up, it is concluded that a formulated oral healthcare system will become more needed in near future than now for the benefit of the elderly living in welfare facilities, while nationwide policy-level supports would be urgent for them in the aspect of national welfare.

New buildings are to be needed for an aging society. But, there may be a solution on the multi-purpose & mixed-use existing facilities. Therefore this study is focused on verification of mixed-use school facilities's potentialities. If possible, I want to suggest some directions of renewal primary school planning. The results of this study are as follows : 1) It is important to make a policy for improving the educational environment, 2) Future buildings must be planned by the principles based on the lifelong learning, 3) Mixed-use building blocks need to be laid out by the concept of accessibility, 4) We can use existing primary school's areas as a elderly welfare facilities without any renovation and increasing areas.

The aging of the population has a fundamental impact on the national economy, including decline in productive population, atrophy of available funds, slowdown of technological innovation, slowdown of economic growth, and decrease in vitality of society as a whole. Increase of elderly population would lead to increase in elderly welfare consumers, which would also lead to increase the demand for elderly welfare services. However, due to the continuation of the low birth rate, there is a great shortage of human resources who can handle this. In such a situation, the main goal of the elderly welfare system in the future should aim to actively try to design effective policies, prepare systems, and implement services for the problems of the aged society, and to find ways to expand the finances, manpower, methods, and facilities necessary for the welfare of the elderly. Elderly welfare services in Korea have been changed and developed in accordance with socioeconomic changes such as industrialization and urbanization. This study examines the changes in elderly welfare services in Korea by the flow of times and presents a method which utilizes artificial intelligence and Internet of Things in services for the elderly welfare consumers to improve both quality and efficiency.

Germany became a super-aged society which has the number of people aged 65 or older reached 19 percent of population in 1997. Similarly, there is a tendency in Korea to increase the number of older people coupled with an increase in the number of households of the senior citizen who lives alone due to a rapid change of family unit. Research on geriatric in Germany is being carried out in many different ways, like medical, welfare, and social aspects because of the fact that Germany is in the middle of a super-aged society. Therefore, analysis and evaluation of elderly care facilities in Germany will be used as a fundamental resource for overall planning of elderly care and welfare facilities which are expected to grow demand dramatically.

이 논문은 노인의료복지시설의 현황과 시설체계에 관한 논문으로 부산시를 대상으로 하였다. 현황 분석과 설문조사을 통해 그에 따른 문제점을 분석하고, 해결방안으로 새로운 유형의 시설체계를 제시하였다. 현재 노인의료복지시설들은 입소대상자들을 다양하게 수용하고 있지 못하며, 각각 독립적으로 운영되고 있어서 한 시설 안에서 전문적인 치료와 요양을 동시에 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 토대로 본 논문에서는 그 해결방안으로 좀 더 넓은 범위에 걸쳐서 한 장소에서 요양과 전문적인 치료가 가능한 'one-stop service system' 체계를 제언하였다. 설문조사 결과들을 종합하여, 구상한 5가지 유형의 시설체계는 다음과 같다. 1) 무료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원, 2) 유료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병, 3) 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 4) 실비전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 5) 노인전문병원 + 재가복지서비스. 노인관련시설은 더 이상 특수한 시설이 아니라, 누구든 언젠가는 이용 하게 될 시설이라는 점에 착안할 때, 그에 대한 대책 마련은 시급하다고 생각된다. 앞으로 노인의 질환의 종류 및 정도가 보다 중복, 중대화 될 것으로 보인다. 따라서 보다 다양하고 전문화된 시설이 요구될 것으로 예상된다.
