The purpose of this study was to investigate spatial characteristics and using behavior of activity room in skilled nursing facilities for the elderly and to provide basic guidelines about its space planning. The activity rooms in the most of the research facilities were arranged by usage modification of unnecessary spaces after the foundation of the facility, and were used not only for the program service but for the staff lounge. It decreased space speciality and resulted in limited area of the space and crowded furniture arrangement. The design guidelines for activity room were as follows. First, the space plan of activity room is based on the use of once to twice per week and for 30 minutes per use, and is mainly for the human knowledge and art programs that are appropriate for small group. Second, the activity room of the facility with less than 3 stories needs to be in the same floor as elderly individual room, but should be independent and easy to be controlled by the staff. On the other hand, in more than 4 stories facility, it is better to be in the different floor as the elderly living area such as administrational area close to the lounge and garden. Third, at least $5.9m^{2}$ per user for the area of the activity room is recommended including the elderly, staff, furniture, equipments and restroom. Fourth, the furniture of activity room includes the shelves, big table with enough knee space, wheel, and stopper, and stackable chairs. Toilets and water closet are needed for the emergency, and the windows to the corridor and curtain door should be avoided for soundproof and easy access of wheelchair users.

Most of the furniture in the past was dedicated to its original use such as storage and accommodation of articles or sitting tools, but the concept of furniture in contemporary indoor spaces is gradually increasing in its meaning while exchanging close impacts with other spatial components. Indeed, in contemporary furniture, a component other than furniture constituting a space would sometimes serve the common roles of furniture or sometimes furniture would include all indoor objects used to make people's living more convenient. This study reviewed the meaning of furniture and changes in its roles in contemporary indoor spaces and summarized the characteristics presenting a few examples. First, in contemporary indoor spaces, furniture as an independent object does not having a meaning any more. The fusion of functions with other components constituting indoor spaces is the most important characteristics in contemporary furniture and it has been already attempted in diverse ways through fusion with buildings surpassing fusion with other pieces of furniture or electric home appliances. Second, the arrangement conforming to the roles required by spaces and diverse forms of attempts are essential. Since furniture is an item the most closely related to human residential life, studies on human behaviors in spaces must precede. The efforts to enhance work efficiencies and used limited spaces more efficiently will be continued and explorations of new forms should be also continued. Third, with regards to manufacturing methods, new technologies should be applied more widely and furniture materials must be diversified through the use of new materials including not only cutting-edge new materials but also all the materials that can be applied to furniture such as conventional natural materials and environment friendly materials that can be recycled.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine how children's transition to adulthood might be related to their parents' marital satisfaction and relationship satisfaction with children. Specifically, we investigated if the numbers of children who (1) graduated from 4-year college, (2) were employed, (3) were married, (4) moved out of parental homes and lived independently, and (5) had at least one child might be associated with better marital satisfaction and higher relationship satisfaction with children among midlife and older parents. We also evaluated if the associations might differ by gender of the children (sons vs. daughters) as well as by their gender and birth order (first-born son, later-born son, first-born daughter, later-born daughter). Method: The analytic sample was drawn from the 2006 Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The sample consisted of 1,905 parents whose children were aged between 25 and 35. For analysis, regression models with robust standard errors were estimated using Stata. Results: Results suggest that sons' (especially first-born sons') transition to adulthood exerted more consistent impacts on parents. More specifically, first-born sons' completion of higher education, marriage, and independent living arrangement were associated with either higher levels of parental marital satisfaction or relationship satisfaction with children. With regard to later-born sons, their completion of college education was linked to higher levels of parental marital satisfaction and relationship satisfaction with children. Conclusion: Korean parents appear to place greater importance on first-born sons' successful transition to adulthood compared to those of other children. Overall, however, transition to adulthood may have limited influence on Korean parents.

본 연구는 한국 청소년의 주관적 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 청소년의 주관적 행복감 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. '2014년 제 10차 청소년건강행태온라인조사'를 원시자료로 이용하였으며, 청소년 72,060명을 빈도분석, t-test, ANOVA, 다중회귀분석을 SPSS 18.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 한국 청소년의 주관적 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 정서적 지지체계(t=44.335, p<,001), 성별(t=27.730, p<.001), 학교급(t=25.347, p<.001), 경제상태(t=-25.345, p<.001), 주거형태(t=-6.158, p<.001), 학교성적(t=-7.512, p<.001), 아버지의 교육수준(t=-2.378, p<.001), 주관적 건강상태(t=46.062, p<.001), 우울(t=-23.837, p<.001), 수면(t=19.871, p<.001), 스트레스 정도(t=-78.685, p<.001), 알코올(t=-13.481, p<.001)과 약물사용(t=-2.671, p<.01)과 흡연(t=-11.988, p<.001), 아침식사(t=4.443, p<.001) 및 신체활동 유무(t=4.757, p<.001)로 확인되었다. 즉, 정서적 지지체계가 있으며, 남학생일수록, 고등학생보다 중학생일 때, 경제상태와 학업성적이 상위계층일수록, 가족과 함께 동거하며, 아버지의 교육수준이 높을 때 행복감을 느꼈다. 또한 주관적 건강상태가 좋을 때 우울하지 않고 수면이 충분하며, 스트레스가 낮을수록, 음주, 흡연 및 약물 경험이 없을수록, 신체활동과 아침 식사를 할수록 행복감이 높아지는 것을 확인하였다.
