The objectives of this research are to find the problems in the courtyards of the elementary schools and to provide the new design guidelines on the environmental design applicable to the court yard of the elementary schools. To analyze the current usage condition of the court yards of the elementary schools, sixty-three elementary schools in Seoul were investigated through the architectural drawings, and then nineteen of them were selected for the detailed investigations. The survey findings testified that the orientation of the courtyard's open direction and D/H ratio would be critically important for the architectural design of the courtyard in elementary schools. From these analyses, the following guidelines would be proposed on the courtyards for the improved elementary school design. Firstly, to increase the environmental condition of the courtyard, the orientation of the courtyard's open side would not be north. Secondly, to make the environmentally friendly courtyard, it is necessary to increase the D/H ratio. Sooner or later, the courtyard of the elementary schools would be introduced very largely. Thus, it is important to figure out the elements of the environmental design of the courtyard in elementary schools. The continuous research on the elements of the environmentally friendly design of the courtyard will provide the proper direction for the better design of the elementary schools.

This study compared and analyzed the affective areas between innovative elementary schools and ordinary elementary schools for the development of Bitgoeul Innovation School in Gwangju Metropolitan City. The subjects of analysis were 318 freshman who graduated from innovative elementary school and 435 freshman who graduated from ordinary elementary schools. Students' self-esteem, antisociality, anxiety, and stress were compared between innovative schools and ordinary schools, and multiple regression analysis was conducted using the correlation between variables with self-esteem as a dependent variable and the others as independent variables. The results of study were as follows: First, the correlation of affective variables of freshman who graduated from each of the two types of schools showed a similar tendency. Second, in both schools, as the independent variable antisociality, anxiety, and stress increased, the dependent variable self-esteem decreased. Third, the difference in affective factors between the freshman who graduated from Bitgoeul Innovative Elementary School and the freshman who graduated from ordinary elementary schools was analyzed, and the results showed that there was no significant statistical difference in all variables. Based on the results, a plan for the development of Bitgoeul Innovation schools was suggested.

The purpose of this study was to examine nutrition management conditions of lunch with the elementary schools and middle schools in the Changwon area. 292 students (5th and 6th graders) from three elementary schools and 330 students from three middle schools (boys, girls, and co-ed) participated in the aggregate selective plate waste measurement for 5 days. Planned menus, serving sizes and plate waste amount data were collected. Nutrient analyses for the planned, served and consumed menus at school lunches were performed by using CAN-PRO 3.0. Nutrient analyses of the planned, served and consumed menus were compared with nutrient management standard (former edition) for school lunch and 1/3 Korean Dietary Reference Intakes (KDRIs). Significant difference was found in the average consumption rate between the elementary schools (82.2%) and the middle schools (71.8%). Specifically, the consumption rates of steamed rice (p < 0.001), side dish 1 (p < 0.001), and Kimchi (p < 0.01) at the middle schools were significantly lower than those of the elementary schools. When the nutrient contents in the served menus were put into percentages to the nutrient contents in the planned menus, middle schools (92.3%) showed bigger serving loss than the elementary schools (95.4%). In the nutrient assessment comparied with nutrient management standard (former edition), middle school lunches showed comparatively less energy or less some nutrient contents against the standard than the elementary school lunches. Specifically, in case of boys in middle schools, Vitamin C was the only nutrient content that satisfied the standard in the planned menus, served menus and consumed menus. In the 1/3 KDRIs based assessment, middle schoolers were found not to be provided proper nutrients with school lunches. To improve nutrition management at middle school foodservices, dietitians should reinforce nutrient assessment for menu planning, and try to decrease serving loss and plate waste.

Purpose: To analyze the current status of health education and problems of elementary, middle, and high schools by national health education guideline. Methods: Study subjects were 991 school health teachers of elementary, middle, and high schools in one province and the data was collected by mail. The data was analyzed by $x^2$-test and Fisher's exact test. Results: The rates of school health education implementation were 99.6% in elementary school, 98.1% in middle school, and 96% in high school. The rates of school health education were reported much higher than former studies. The most barrier in providing school health education was 'health room management during health education'. During health education by school health teachers, the health rooms were managed by other teachers in elementary schools or by locking the health room with announcement memo in middle and high schools. Conclusion: To improve the school health education, higher school health teacher placement and administrative supports for health clinic were recommended.

Background: The study investigated the causes of safety accidents by facility, focused on safety accidents caused directly or indirectly by school facilities at elementary schools in S City. Purpose: The objective of this study is to provide materials for planning the construction of school buildings and the installation of school facilities and for improving existing facilities and ultimately to minimize mental and Physical losses from safety accidents caused by school facilities and to create pleasant education environment. Method: We selected 10 elementary schools in S City, analyzed the factors of safety accidents caused by facilities inside and outside the schools, and presented the results of the analysis including the factors of safety accidents caused by elementary school facilities. Result: It was found that safety accidents caused by elementary school facilities can be prevented to some degree by considering safety accidents in facility planning. As the safety accident rate is higher at elementary schools than at middle and high schools, it is essential to consider safety accidents in planning the construction of an elementary school and to execute safety accident prevention education in order to reduce safety accidents at elementary schools. In addition, as the curriculums are revised and new facilities are introduced for the new curriculums, elementary students' physical, psychological and environmental factors should be analyzed and studied closely and the results should be reflected in establishing the standards for the installation of elementary school facilities.

Currently, this city includes nine Korean-chinese schools. This research has been processed with regards to three broad aspects. Firstly changing processes of school systems, secondly local distributions and networks of school facilities, and thirdly site plans, floor plans and elevations of school buildings were analyzed and examined for finding their characteristics. For this study, seven Han-chinese Elementary schools were also analyzed. The study result are as following: 1. Korean-chinese schools have followed national education policies and also maintained Korean-chinese native education methods. The schools have undergone merger and separation with Han-chinese Elementary schools. Three Korean-chinese Elementary schools in Japan Colonials, two schools in the period of the Republic of China foundation and its growing, and four schools in 1980s were founded. 2. Yanji city administers the networks of Korean-chinese school districts and Han-chinese districts separately. All school districts apply to lkm standard as attending distance. The networks are adjusted as per population change. 3. The characteristics of buildings' site plans, floor plans and elevations are simple. Layouts of the schools are - type or -type centered playground. Building plans show one side corridor type and 5 stories mostly. Elevations stress central parts. Various forms such as finger types do not appear in mass planning since the school curriculum and extracurricular activities are not seemingly active. Han-chinese Elementary schools have similar conditions.

Food procurement practices in elementary schools were evaluated to provide basic information for the efficient foodservice management. Total 85 self-completed questionnaires were collected out of 134 dieticians working for elementary schools in Kyungkido, and analyzed for demographic background, purchasing activities and processing-food utilization status. The results were as follows: 1. The elementary schools were located in urban (22.0%), provincial (58.5%), and isolated areas (19.5%). 2. 62.4% of them were conventional schools and rest of them were commissary schools (37.6%). 3. As the total meals produced in schools increased, the number of meals served per foodservice staff and the workload increased, and more foods were purchased through wholesalers and competitive bids. 4. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in food procurement practices by the location, type of foodservice systems and the size of schools. 5. As the number of total meals in schools increased, the level of FPI (Food Processing Index) points for meat products, fish products, kimchi and sauce decreased.

This study is carried out to understand application type and change of learning space and to find out actual situation of management in open planned elementary schools. The twelve elementary schools were selected based on case studies and fundamental data of the agencies performing basic plan, the actual situation of management was studied by interviews of principals and teachers. By the results, open planned elementary schools have been notably reduced after the year of 2004 and corridor expending type was broadly chosen as a plane type for open space. It was also shown that learning space was transformed to the independent type integrating open space to the unit classroom in most part of twelve cases. In addition, whole sliding doors fixed in open classrooms by some Provincial Office of Education didn't need certain physical shut-offs, and it was considered as one of useful alternatives to manage open space.
