Subsidiary welfare facilities in an apartment complex are one of the most important factors for consumers when they buy an apartment due to an increase of consumers' consciousness level, increase of leisure time, and increase of cultural life. This study aims to analyze layout types and characteristics of subsidiary welfare facilities at the apartment complexes in the second phase new towns, investigate the current situation and find out the improvement direction. For this purpose, this author investigated three "second phase new towns" which were designated as a new town at similar time, and selected a total of 15 apartment complexes by selecting 5 complexes in each of the three new towns. Literature survey, case visit, photo shoot, user observation survey were used as study methods. The results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that a mixed type was the most common type of plane layout types in the subsidiary welfare facilities. This type improves accessibility and equity of the residents as the facilities are appropriately placed based on the functions and the user characteristics. Second, it can be considered that a distributed type for senior citizen centers and daycare centers may give independence to specific users, but it may give a sense of alienation to the elderly. Moreover, it does not have enough community so that it is necessary to make proper supplementation. Third, there were two lay out types. The first one is that the subsidiary welfare facilities are placed with step difference and the second one is that they are placed in sunken places using the underground space. Fourth, all layout types of outdoor facilities are distributed types, and it is considered that measurements for a proper balance of accessibility and equity are required.

China has already entered the aging society and is predicted to become a super-aged society in 2020. The recent studies identified that the elderly has more interest in 'Aging-in-Place' which emphasizes deinstitutionalization since welfare facilities such as care homes and silver towns have separated the elderly from their local communities where they used to live in. The aim of this research is to propose a promising way for smart housing services who support the elderly's living in their homes, China. This research is to investigate the elderly's life and to identify their demands on housings for implementing such smart services. The elderly's living in apartments in Luoyang city, China, were investigated through interviews using a questionnaire survey. The results show that smart housing services should be provided to support the elderly's health, safety, leisure activities, comfortable living, and social relationships sustainably. In addition, such smart housing services should be intuitive since the elderly need to use easily smart services for their autonomous life in their homes. The smart housing services should be developed in the direction of enhancing the elderly's healthy and desirable life, and lessening their discomforts due to aging.

소득수준 향상으로 삶의 질이 중시되는 시대로 접어들면서 건강과 여가에 대한 사회적 관심이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구는 도시환경과 도시민의 여가의 관계에 주목하여 공원, 하천과 같은 도시 오픈스페이스가 거주민, 특히 고령화 사회의 사회적 관심사인 노인 거주민의 옥외 여가활동에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하였다. 여가소비에 영향을 미치는 수요와 공급요인 중에서 선행연구는 주로 수요측면의 개인 특성에 초점을 맞춘 반면, 본 연구는 공급측면의 환경적 지역적 특성을 함께 고찰하는 특성을 지닌다. 분석자료는 개인의 거주지역 정보가 행정동의 근린수준까지 세분화되어 있는 2010년 국민여가활동조사자료를 활용하였으며, 개인 및 지역특성을 동시에 고려하기 위하여 다중회귀분석과 함께 위계선형분석을 수행하였다. 두 모형에서 일관되게 발견되는 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도시 오픈스페이스 공급은 거주민의 옥외 여가활동 증진에 유의미한 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 이러한 오픈스페이스 공급효과는 노인계층에서 더욱 크게 나타난다. 셋째, 도시 오픈스페이스가 제공하는 옥외 여가활동은 상대적으로 소득수준, 교육수준이 낮은 사회경제적 취약계층에게 더욱 유용하다. 종합하면 도시 오픈스페이스가 옥외 여가공간으로서의 기능뿐만 아니라 노인시설, 공공보건시설, 사회복지시설로서의 기능을 복합적으로 발휘할 수 있음을 의미한다. 이러한 점에서 도시오픈스페이스는 도시계획시설의 관점에서 고령화사회에 대응하고 건강도시와 복지사회를 구현하기 위한 지방공공재 공급계획의 일환으로 확장될 필요가 있다.

This study was conducted for the purpose of analyzing volunteer workers' perceptions of and attitudes toward the behavior problems of the elderly residents after caring for the residents voluntarily at low-income nursing homes. Eleven male and female volunteers ranging from age 19 to 52 were asked how they felt about the elderly residents' behavior problems and what kind of behavioral problems they had experienced after doing volunteer works in the three chosen facilities. In particular, they were expected to explain what emotional changes they experienced during their volunteer service. In this study, it was observed that most of the elderly subjects experienced three categories of behavior problems: habitual, repetitious and unreasonable activities caused by the elderly residents' life span backgrounds, unexpected and/or abrupt behaviors resulting from gradual cognitive impairments, and physiological, awkward activities caused from gradual senility. The volunteers tend to believe that the elderly residents are naturally expected to act positively, since they have been provided with well- planned, regular care services such as bathing, counseling, activity programs, and religious guidances. On the other hand, some respondents stated that their experiences at the nursing homes caused them to form negative images of the elderly; they feel that the elderly are not helpful for giving advices on critical decisions, guiding and encouraging their daily lives, and offering any positive influences toward their own lives. Rather, they find themselves getting too much stressed as a result of their intimate contacts with demented or senile residents. Overall, in this study, it is proposed that education for confronting sudden abrupt behavior problems should be intensified more for female volunteers, since they tend to be more susceptible to emotional harassment resulting from the problem behaviors. It is also proposed that young volunteers who have not been systematically trained for confronting aggressive behaviors need to be separately assigned their roles in order to minimize the potential of confronting unseemly situations resulting from male residents whose mental health has deteriorated. Furthermore, it is also suggested that the combination of leisure-related activities for healthy residents and stressful intimate services for the frail residents be systematically planned and implanted for the volunteer program so that the volunteers can lessen the chances of suddenly finding themselves confronted with extremely abrupt agitations.

The purpose of this study is to explore social supports for elderly housing and their residential lives in small cities along rural counties of the United States and Canada, and suggest future implications for age-concentrated rural villages in Korea. In this study, five small and medium cities in non-metropolitan counties of California and Ontario province were visited and elderly residents and service experts were interviewed about their perceptions of community integrated social support networks for senior residences. The senior housing complexes were built due to influx of both metropolitan and rural residents seeking warm localities, traffic connections, business purposes in active production areas. and leisure attractions. There are five main social support networks for senior housing issues in these areas. First, the areas are claimed for senior zones and accordingly health industries are encouraged by local authorities. Second, the community is homogeneously constructed as a senior friendly environment and include features such as an RV park and mobile cottages. Third, senior-helping seniors are offered active work through golf-cluster active retirement communities. Fourth, traditional theme production camps are mobilized by the elderly workers. Lastly, an information system is maintained for screening volunteers and for senior abuse prevention. On the other hand, residential lives are occasionally negatively influenced by unbalanced concentrations of elderly facilities such as nursing stations and funeral homes. For the future of Korean rural elderly policies, suggestions are made as follows: first, an integrated urban and rural township that contains attractive places for early retiring people who seek a warm atmosphere in later life needs to be constructed. Second, an integrated model retirement village of urban and rural retirement life needs to be initiated as a measure of evaluating the adaptation process of movers in senior concentrated zones. Third, a cooperation system among governmental ministries needs to be formed with the long- term goal of establishing a traditional rural town of independent housing districts and medical facilities in rural areas. Fourth, productive and active lifestyles need to be maintained as the local community and government develop successful retirement rural villages, by limiting the expansion of nursing related facilities. Finally, generation integrated visiting welfare programs and services need to be further developed for the housing areas especially in the winter, when social integration and activity are relatively low.

The purpose of this study was 1) to review communal housing in the UK, 2) to consider the policy implications for elderly communal housing in Korea. The research methods used were 1) literature review about communal housing and related policy in the UK 2) field survey in the UK 3) interpretative suggestion for the proper policy implication to develope communal housing for the elderly in Korea. Sheltered housing in the UK had been developed as communal housing for the elderly with special needs since the 1970s. The type of sheltered housing were category 1 and category 2. Very sheltered housing with more facilities and meal services was added in 1980s. Sheltered housing was evaluated as the most humanistic solution for older people in the UK in 1980s. Because of the policy of moving institutional care to community care, sheltered housing became less in demand because of more options for older people including being able to stay in their own home. So new completion of sheltered housing by registered social landlords reduced saliently. Sheltered housing already totalled over half million units in which 5% of all elderly over 65 still lived and a small quantity of private sector for sale schemes emerged in the 1990s. The reason why the residents moved to sheltered housing was for sociable, secure, and manageable living arrangements. In general the residents were satisfied with these characteristics but dissatisfied with the service charge and quality of meals, especially in category 2.5 schemes. The degree of utilisation of communal spaces and facilities depended on the wardens ability and enthusiasm. Evaluation of sheltered housing indicated several problems such as wardens duty as a \"good neighbour\" ; difficult-to-let problems with poor location or individual units of bedsittiing type with shared bathroom ; and the under use of communal spaces and facilities. Some ideas to solve these problems were suggested by researchers through expanding wardens duty as a professional, opening the scheme to the public, improving interior standards, and accepting non-elderly applicants who need support. Some researchers insisted continuing development of sheltered housing, but higher standards must be considered for the minority who want to live in communal living arrangement. Recently, enhanced sheltered housing with greater involvement of relatives and with tied up policy in registration and funding suggested as an alternative for residential care. In conclusion, the rights of choice for older people should be policy support for special needs housing. Elderly communal housing, especially a model similar to sheltered housing category 2 with at least 1 meal a day might be recommended for a Korean Model. For special needs housing development either for rent or for sale, participation of the public sector and long term and low interest financial support for the private sector must be developed in Korea. Providing a system for scheme managers to train and retrain must be encouraged. The professional ability of the scheme manager to plan and to deliver services might be the most important factor for the success of elderly communal housing projects in Korea. In addition the expansion of a public health care service, the development of leisure programs in Senior Citizens Centre, home helper both for the elderly in communal housing and the elderly in mainstream housing of the community as well. Providing of elderly communal housing through the modified general Construction Act rather than the present Elderly Welfare Act might be more helpful to encourage the access of general people in Korea. in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 경로당 이용경험(이용중, 이용 중단, 이용경험 없음)에 따른 노인들의 특성을 조사하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 경로당의 발전 방안을 모색하는 데 있다. 전국에 거주하는 65세 이상 재가노인을 대상으로 한국보건사회연구원과 보건복지부가 공동으로 실시한 2004년도 전국 노인생활실태 및 복지욕구조사 결과 수집된 자료를 카이검정, 분산분석, 다항로지스틱회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다(n=3,005). 연구 결과 사회경제적 여건이 좋지 않은 농어촌지역의 고령노인이 주로 경로당을 이용하였고, 비교적 젊고 사회경제적으로 안정된 도시지역의 중산노년층이 경로당을 이용하다가 중단하거나 경로당을 이용하지 않는 것으로 나타나 경로당 이용경험에 따른 노인간 연령, 거주지역, 사회경제적 여건에서 확연한 차이가 있었다. 남녀노인간 차이는 있지만, 경로당 이용을 중단하거나 이용하지 않는 가장 큰 이유는 '경로당을 이용하는 노인들과 맞지 않아서'였다 즉, 노인들간 인구 및 사회경제적 차이 때문에 발생하는 교류상의 문제와 그로 인한 경로당 이용노인 모두의 여가복지욕구를 만족시킬 수 있는 프로그램의 제공이 현재 우리나라 경로당 운영에서 가장 시급히 해결해야 할 과제였다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 경로당에만 한정하는 협의적 차원의 경로당 발전 방안(보건, 재활 및 건강 관련 프로그램의 활성화, 여성노인의 여가복지욕구를 반영한 프로그램의 운영, 보육시설의 운영 등)과 중장기적이고 종합적인 노인여가복지정책 수립을 위한 광의적 차원에서의 경로당 발전 방안(정부가 추진하고 있는 저출산 및 고령화정책의 인프라를 위한 복지시설로의 경로당 기능전환, 노인복지관과 유료노인여가복지시설의 활성화 등)이 제시되었다.
