An index that evaluates the health level of a population group considering both death and loss of function due to disease is called a summary measure of population health (SMPH). SMPHs are broadly divided into life year indices and life expectancy indices, the latter of which comprise healthy life expectancy (HLE). HLE is included as a policy target in various national and regional level healthcare plans, and the term "HLE" is commonly used in academia and by the public. However, the overall level of understanding of HLE-such as the precise definition of HLE and methods of calculating HLE-still seems to be low. As discussed in this study, the types of HLE are classified into disability-free life expectancy, disease-free life expectancy, quality-adjusted life expectancy, self-rated HLE, and disability-adjusted life expectancy. Their characteristics are examined to facilitate a correct understanding and appropriate utilization of HLE. In addition, the Sullivan method, as a representative method for calculating HLE, is presented in detail, and major issues in the process of calculating HLE, such as selection of the population group and age group, estimation of death probability, calculation of life years, and incorporation of health weights, are reviewed. This study will help researchers to select an appropriate HLE type and evaluate the validity of HLE research results, and it is expected to contribute to the vitalization of HLE research.

This study examined the subcomponents of the local environment that have an important influence on the life satisfaction of people living in single-person households and analyzed how the causal relationship between these variables differs between generations. Specifically, the local environment was classified into the following subcomponents: convenience, comfort, safety, healthcare, and neighborhood relationships. This study analyzed the data of 3,260 respondents from single-person households in the 2020 Residents' Quality of Life Survey in Gyeonggi Province. As a result, it was found that the perception of all subcomponents of the local environment had a positive effect on the life satisfaction of people in single-person households. The effect of neighborhood relationships was relatively large compared to other subcomponents. Next, the influencing factors on life satisfaction of people in single-person households showed differences between generations, which were defined by this study as youth (under age 35), middle-aged (35-64), and elderly (65 and older). Convenience and safety for the youth group and neighborhood relationship for the middle-aged group were most important. The elderly group was most affected by healthcare. The proportion of single-person households worldwide, including in Korea, is gradually increasing, and considering this, this study provides important policy implications.

본 연구는 어느 중소도시의 주민을 대상으로 무작위 표본 추출하여 전화로 건강생활실천 행태를 소득계층별로 파악하고 관련요인을 분석하였다. 특히 보건소의 건강증진사업에 대한 긍정적인 인식도와 건강생활실천 행태와의 관련성을 분석하고자 하였다. 한국갤럽(주)을 통해 2006년 10월 11일에서 13일까지 3일간 일개시 19세에서 69세까지의 809명의 주민을 표본추출하여 이들을 대상으로 전화설문조사를 시행하여 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과 소득계층이 낮은 사람들은 보건소의 건강증진사업에 대해 긍정적인 인식을 갖는 것과 건강생활실천의 관련성이 낮았으나 소득계층이 높은 사람들은 관련성이 높게 나타났다. 이는 소득계층에 따라 보건소의 건강증진사업이 미치는 영향이 다름을 시사한다.

Objectives: This study is conducted to identify the effects of the activity program for preventing dementia against depression, cognitive function, and quality of life for the elderly. Methods: A non-equivalent control group with pretest-posttest design was used on 50 elderly who were assigned to the experimental and control group (25 for each group). Results: Cognitive function was significantly different between the two groups of the pretest and posttest (Z=4.217, p<.001). There were significant differences between the two groups of the pretest and posttest (Z=-2.324, p=.020) for the quality of life on the EQ-5D index. Conclusions: These findings confirmed that the activity program for preventing dementia was effective for improving cognitive functions and quality of life for the elderly. Therefore, it is further encouraged to perform the activity programs for preventing dementia within other community health posts and community centers. It is necessary to study the emotional supports from community health posts in the future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of suicidal risk, meaning in life, and life respect in various ages of patients and identify factors influencing their life respect. Method: The participants were 229 patients in a public hospital who completed questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Fisher's exact test, ANOVA with Duncan post hoc test, and multiple regression. Results: There was a negative correlation between the meaning of life and life respect in the old age group (r=-.23, p=.02) and all subjects (r=-.14, p=.01) after controlling for age. Factors significantly influencing life respect were gender (${\beta}$=0.11, p=.050) and educational status (${\beta}$=-0.17, p=.022), and the multiple regression model explained 16.7% of the variance in all subjects (p<.001). In the early adulthood group, factors significantly influencing the life respect were gender (${\beta}$=0.18, p<.001) and suicidal thoughts (${\beta}$=0.21, p=.028), and the multiple regression model explained 6.8% of variance in all subjects (p=.001). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that suicidal prevention and educational programs for increasing an appreciation of life should consider subject's characteristics, such as gender and educational status.

본 논문은 크리스토퍼 알렉산더의 패턴 랭귀지를 이용하여 공공공간의 공간적 특성 분석을 실시하였다. 도시는 인간의 다양한 경험을 제공하는 장소이다. 도시의 공공공간은 역사를 통해 공공생활 번영에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그것은 한 도시 속 사람들과의 관계 속에서 소통, 문화행사, 상업 등을 위한 장소로 이루어졌다. 그러나 오늘날, 공공장소 및 공공생활의 다양한 활동은 감소되었다. 그 이유 중 하나는 도시의 장소가 계획되고 관리될 때 사용자의 요구를 무시했기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문은 문헌 조사를 통해 공공공간의 역할과 유형을 정리하고 패턴 언어의 특징을 살펴보았다. 또한 공공공간의 공간적 특성을 제시하고 전문가그룹인터뷰(FGI : Focus Group Interview)를 통하여 적정한 패턴 언어를 분류하였다. 이를 통하여 서울 도심의 공공공간의 공간적 패턴을 알아보기 위하여 사례대상지를 종로구 기본계획에 기초하여 선정 후 분석하였다. 본 논문은 공공공간의 적합한 공간 구조의 특성 및 방향성을 제시하고 패턴 언어의 적용가능성을 살펴 보다 풍부한 도시공간을 조성하고자 한다.
