Senior centers in apartment complex have been provided since 1980 according to the Housing Act in Korea. Nowadays these senior centers are model leisure facility for the elderly. However there are no specific guidelines for space composition and usage in a senior center. This study examines the space composition and usage patterns of 16 senior centers in apartment complex, Jangyou New Town. The data were collected by means of an observation, measuring, and interviews. The results are ; 1) A senior center consisted of one living room and two rooms for men and women would be appropriate; A living room is for common activities and two rooms for casual resting of each gender. 2) A kitchen is mainly used for setting the table or making tea. Thus, the living-dining-kitchen type would be appropriate. 3) Many rest rooms are located outside of a senior center and unisex one. The restroom should be separated by gender and located within the senior center. Also, the width of all doors should be more than 80cm and the floor be flat. The grab bars should be installed near the fixtures in a restroom. 4) Design and location of the shoe shelf are not convenient for the elderly to use. It should be designed and arranged for the elderly to use conveniently. Also, space for canes, walkers or wheelchairs should be considered in entrance area.

This paper describes two capstone senior design courses for the Mechanical Engineering program at University of the Pacific. The first course taught in the Fall semester is entitled "Engineering Design/Senior Project I." The second course taught in the Spring semester is entitled "Engineering Design/Senior Project II." All Mechanical Engineering students with senior standing are required to take these two classes in this sequence. At the end of every Spring semester, industrial advisors are invited to assess the final senior projects during an annual Senior Project Day. This assessment is performed using the Program Outcomes and Program Educational Objectives established for Pacific's Mechanical Engineering program. Since all Mechanical Engineering students are required to complete senior projects, this is a 100% evaluation process. After the evaluations are done, the data sets are compiled and reviewed by the faculty for assessment purposes. It is important to note that the industrial advisors perform the evaluations, but the faculty members assess the information to determine if modifications need to be made to the program or courses. In addition to the senior project evaluations, general feedback from Mechanical Engineering Industrial Advisory Committee (MEIAC) members is also useful for the outcomes-based assessment process in addition to the definition and evaluation of Program Outcomes and Program Educational Objectives.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest the preliminary data for the improvement of the senior centers' indoor environment and the upcoming progress located in rural areas. In wanju county, 81.8% of seniors were enrolled in senior centers, and used the facility everyday. Also, most of the users tended to use the facilities between 12 a.m. and 6 p.m. The majority of users had lunch at the senior centers. The facilities of most senior centers were in poor condition, and some had their restroom outdoor. Also, most senior centers are exposed to high concentrations of carbon dioxide during winter. During this season, the thermal environment in the restroom was bad. However, the users' level of the facilities' satisfaction was positive. Senior centers have been operating the facilities with difficulties, due to the low financial support from the local autonomous organization. The indoor temperature in most centers, especially, was above $30^{\circ}C$ during summer on account of lack of funding for airconditioning. Therefore, it could be recommended that the local autonomous entity start regular check-ups and repairs for the poor indoor environment and facilities, with more financial support and active supervision of the management.

본 연구는 경로당을 이용하는 여성 노인들 사이에 친구·이웃 집단따돌림 현상이 어떠한 모습으로 나타나는지를 살펴보았다. 문화기술지를 연구방법으로 선택하였으며, 집단따돌림 현상이 나타나는 A 경로당을 이용하는 여성 노인 16명을 연구참여자로 선정하였다. 참여관찰과 면접을 통해 자료를 수집하였고 Spradley(1979)가 제시한 문화기술지적 분석방법을 바탕으로 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 경로당 이용 여성 노인의 친구·이웃 집단따돌림 현상은 외톨이로 만듦, 피해를 줌, 대응함, 벗어나지 못함이라는 네 가지 영역으로 나타났다. 먼저, 호의적이지 않은 분위기 속에서 집단따돌림 피해자는 의지할 곳 없는 외톨이가 되었다. 가해자들의 '공격함', '차별함', '고립시킴', '경로당 이용을 저지함'으로 인해 피해자들은 불리한 상황에 처하였다. 둘째, 피해자는 피해를 입는 동시에 다른 사람들에게 해를 가하였다. 이는 경로당을 함께 이용하는 사람들을 배려하지 않고, 거짓말로 속이는 모습, 집단생활을 하는 데 능숙하지 못한 측면, 기여가 적거나 통제된 생활을 어려워하는 상황으로 드러났다. 셋째, 경로당 여성 노인들은 '회피함', '지지 않음', '개선하려 함', '다른 관계를 통해 따돌림에서 빠져나오고자 함' 네 가지 방법으로 집단따돌림 현상에 대응하고자 했다. 마지막으로, A 경로당은 지속적으로 집단따돌림 현상에 머물러있는 모습을 보였다. 끊임없이 새로운 따돌림 대상이 출현했으며, 따돌림은 경로당 안뿐만 아니라 경로당 밖까지 퍼져나갔다. 이러한 결과는 경로당 여성 노인의 집단따돌림 현상이 아동·청소년, 직장 집단따돌림과 유사한 역동을 보여주면서도, 상이한 개인적, 환경적 요인으로 인해 이들과 다른 독특한 측면이 나타남을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 경로당 이용 여성들의 집단따돌림 현상의 고유한 전개 양상들에 주목할 필요가 있다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 한국 사회에서 나타나고 있는 집단따돌림 중 경로당 여성 노인의 집단따돌림에 대한 논의를 보다 구체화하고 확대시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Korea is having entered the Ageing Society since 2000 and expected to be the Aged Society by 2019. Proliferation of the nuclear families, attitude shift of supporting the senior people and higher participation of married women in public life as well as the steadily increasing senior population have caused the need for development of the facilities or housings for the senior people. This study is based on the assumption that the congregate housing as one of the options for those senior people who are healthy enough do not need the nursing home. For the questionnaire survey, the preference of 500 Korean pre-senior people on spatial planning elements of units for the senior congregate housing was investigated. The collected data are analysed using SPSS 10.0 for Windows to deduce frequency, percentage, average, Chi-squared test with cross-tabulations. The results of this study were as follows; Most of respondents preferred to the size of 11-15pyung(for single), 21-25pyung(for couple). The type of spatial composition was preferred one-room type(for single), 1-2 bedroom type with kitchen (for couple). And they preferred L/DK type. Also, they preferred furnished units not to bring their own furniture when relocating to the senior congregate housing, which was somewhat different result from previous studies. There were significant differences between preferred spatial planning elements and gender, income, and level of education.

This study conducted a survey of residents living in senior housing in the outskirts of Tokyo metropolitan area where the demand for senior housing is rising. The study examined their motives for moving into senior housing, criteria for housing selection, and their degree of satisfaction with living in senior housing. The analysis results are as follows. First, the majority of respondents gave reasons for moving into senior housing such as wanting to live with more comfort and freedom and not wanting to live with their spouse any longer. Second, in choosing conditions their senior housing, the respondents put priority on the credibility of a management company, and they also valued easy accessibility to the place. In addition, they wanted the environment to be suitable for a stroll. Third, as for the degree of satisfaction with the living facilities, the respondents expressed dissatisfaction with kitchen and storage areas most frequently. This suggests that it is necessary to consider the physical characteristics of elderly people when planning senior housing by securing kitchen facilities that support independent living and provide more storage space. Fourth, in terms of the level of satisfaction with residential services, the respondents were quite content with their consulting services, response to their complaints, and the surrounding environment. However, they were less satisfied with events organized by the management company, or the in-house medical service.
