The promotion of walking and bicycling is recently a hot topic in the urban planning and design field. Many planners have already examined the many components of the land use-transportation connection and built environment-physical activity link. A rapidly growing area of urban form research is to measure the level of walk-ability in urban environments. With this background, this research conducted a preliminary study to develop the evaluation indicators of pedestrian environments. Based on the literature reviews on walking or pedestrian environments, we proposed the seventeen indicators related with pedestrian facilities, road attributes and walking environment. We also performed a questionary survey to evaluate the satisfaction of their neighborhood pedestrian environments for 302 randomly selected adults living in the City of Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do. Finally, this research provided the valid model to evaluate the effects of physical environmental factors on the walking satisfaction using factor analysis and multiple regression analysis.

본 연구는 중국 대리시의 근린공원인 얼허공원(洱河公園)을 대상으로 공원 내 환경요소들이 노인의 만족도에 미치는 영향 요인을 도출하고 만족도를 분석하여 개선 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 먼저 노인을 대상으로 한 공원 및 외부 공간의 환경 평가와 관련된 선행연구를 통해 평가 지표를 선정하였으며, 설문조사와 요인분석을 실시하여 영향 요인을 도출하였다. 다음으로 노인들의 만족도를 알아보기 위해 퍼지 종합 평가를 실시하였으며, 개선 방안을 제시하기 위한 중요도와 성취도분석(IPA) 을 수행하였다. 연구 결과를 살펴보면, 요인분석을 통해 공원 환경요소들을 시설적합성 및 쾌적성, 이용편의성 및 안전성, 자연쾌적성, 도로편의성 4가지로 유형화하였다. 이를 바탕으로 얼허공원 환경요소에 대한 전체 만족도 등급은 만족과 보통 사이로, 자연쾌적성의 등급은 만족이고 시설적합성 및 쾌적성, 이용편의성 및 안전성의 등급은 보통으로, 도로편의성의 등급은 만족에 가깝게 나타났다. IPA 분석 결과 중요도는 높지만 만족도가 낮아 중점 개선이 필요한 항목은 휴게시설의 적절성, 편익시설의 적절성, 시설의 관리 상태, 진입의 안전성, 조명시설로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 노인 친화형 공원을 신설하거나 재정비할 때 활용 가능한 기초자료를 제공하여 만족도를 높이고자 하는데 의의가 있다.

Health information-seeking behavior (HISB) is active need-fulfillment behavior whereby health information is obtained from diverse sources, such as the media, and has emerged as an important issue within the transforming medical environment and the rise of medical consumers. However, little is known about the factors that affect HISB and its associations, and the health outcome of HISB. The aim of this study was to examine individual and social contextual factors associated with HISB and to systematically review their effects on health status among post-treatment cancer patients. Individual determinants of HISB included demographic factors, psychosocial factors, perceived efficacy and norms, and health beliefs. Contextual determinants of HISB encompassed community characteristics, neighborhood social capital, and media advocacy. Improving through factors on these two levels, HISB raised individuals' self-care management skills and medical treatment compliance, and enhanced shared decision-making and medical treatment satisfaction. Moreover, because HISB can differ according to individuals' social contextual conditions, it can give rise to communication inequalities. Because these can ultimately lead to health disparities between groups, social interest in HISB and balanced HISB promotion strategies are necessary.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the community well-being of residents through empirical analysis. Rather than just identifying the variables that promote residents' subjective happiness, we focused on factors affecting residents' living condition. In order to empirically investigate the influencing factors, we constructed the analysis data using the Gyeonggi-do survey. We analyzed it by using linear regression analysis. Through the effects of influencing factor analyzed, we could find implications for public project's priority in budget distribution. It could be suggested that local public projects for residents should be focused on improving programs such as job satisfaction, resident health, and neighborhood relations in order to effectively raise community well-being level.

In contemporary Korean society, urban community environment is often associated with high-density and high-rise residences that make people's relationships superficial, instrumental and impersonal. Furthermore, urban community consistently interplays with neighboring residents and childhood emotional experience are influential on their unconscious images and attitude about their current neighborhood environment, while affecting the environmental attitude and the formation of community sense. Previous research found evidences that increased level of community sense is fostering more feeling of living in so-called "real neighborhood environment." This study aimed to cross-culturally examine what the respondents' emotional perception and their attitude were about the community environment in their childhood through environmental autobiography method and to examine the effects of the results on adults' formation of sense of community for their current community environment. Extensive literature review explored a few important theoretical framework which are closely related to sense of community (SOC) as a result of emotional experience: membership, influence, integration and fulfillment of needs, shared emotional connection and community satisfaction. Chi-square and GLM analysis revealed that there were no demographic, and socio-economic differences between two groups of Korean and US residents. Correlation analysis indicated that childhood emotional experience of Koreans and US citizens was statistically significant on sense of community for their current living community. Multi-regression analysis also found that the degree of influence were the main predictors for building strong sense of current community throughout a cross-cultural group. Furthermore, the relationship between various emotional experience of each factor in previous and current community environment were statistically significantly related. It is concluded that as the positive childhood experience of influence in their past community was going up, the level of sense of community for their current community was strengthened across their cross-cultural background.

본 연구는 노인이 거주하는 지역의 주거환경만족도가 노년기 우울 증상에 미치는 영향을 신체활동을 중심으로 분석하고, 노인을 둘러싼 환경이 우울에 영향을 미치는 메커니즘을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2017년 노인실태조사 자료를 활용하여 본인이 직접 설문에 응답하고, 주요 변수에 결측치가 없는 10,059명을 대상으로 주거환경만족도와 우울의 관련성에 대한 신체활동의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 연구방법은 Baron & Kenny 접근법을 적용하여, 세 단계의 로지스틱 회귀분석과 Sobel test를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 주거환경만족도가 높아질수록 우울 증상을 경험할 확률이 감소하였다. 둘째, 주거환경만족도가 높아질수록 노인들이 집 밖에서 신체활동에 참여할 확률이 증가하였다. 셋째, 주거환경만족도와 우울 간의 관계를 신체활동이 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 주거환경에 대한 만족도가 증가할수록 노인들의 신체활동 참여가 증가하고, 이에 따라 노인의 우울 수준이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 주거환경에 대한 주관적 만족도와 신체활동이 노년기 정신건강에 중요한 영향요인임을 설명하고, 정신건강증진을 위한 개입 전략과 Aging In Place를 실행하기 위한 실천적 관점을 제시하였다.
