Seattle Public School Authority implements Inclusive Education which allows handicapped children to study in ordinary schools. This research is to analyze Inclusive Education system and find characteristics of school network and school planning. Survey was performed on 9 school districts and 54 public schools. The found results are following; 1) 54 schools adopt special education programs and legal barrier free design. All handicapped children groups are divided into level I through Ⅳ including mild level (level I,II) at all schools and multi-handicapped(severe level, level III, IV) at schools specified by school district or Seattle City. 2) Each school groups are transformed into self-contained classroom, therapy room and general room as a set in consideration of user communication and special education program. Also, existing classrooms are rearranged into small study spaces by using partition system. It allows ordinary schools to accomodate Inclusive Education through school network, classroom rearrangement and space partitioning.

Purpose: Despite well-known benefits of walking on cardiovascular health, no structured walking exercise program has been formally tested on elderly Korean immigrants (EKIs). This pilot randomized controlled trial study assessed the effect of a walking program on walking behavior (pedometer steps count), stress (cortisol), depressive symptoms (CESD-10), and cardiovascular disease biomarkers (hs-CRP and fibrinogen) via venipuncture in EKIs. Methods: Seventy EKIs recruited from a Korean community were randomly assigned to a 12-week walking group or control group in a 3:2 ratio. The working program included a pedometer, buddy, monthly coffee card, weekly call for goal setting, and physical activity consultation. Walking group EKIs maintained the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended exercise guidelines and good mental health status over 12 weeks. Results: There was no significant difference in the outcomes between control and walking groups. Conclusion: Social networking with Koreans in the senior center and church from a well-established Korean community might have positive effects on mental health.

The results are as followings. (1)Pedestrian oriented design, (2)Urban street as a part of open space that can accommodate human activities, (3)Integrated, not isolated with outer/ other open space, (4)Organically networked in a hierarchical manner that can promote pedestrian movement, (5)Utilization of regionally identical design elements. And Smart Growth concept lies in the core of 'Blue Ring' project.

The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of 'One Book, One City' community-wide reading campaign by analyzing the characteristics of the books selected during the past fifteen years. According to the lists of 'One Book, One City' Reading Promotions Projects' available from the website of the Library of Congress, the Center for the Books, a total of 1,037 books were selected by 2,220 'One Book' programs. Major findings are as follows: First, 278 books (26.8%) and 759 books (73.2%) were selected by more than two 'One Book' programs and one program, respectively; Second, three most popular books were To Kill a Mockingbird (chosen in 84 programs), Fahrenheit 451 (in 53 programs), and The Kite Runner (in 50 programs); Third, with the wide diffusion of 'One Book' campaigns, the selection of unique books by individual 'One Book' programs has increased, and the impact of the books selected by 'Seattle Reads' and 'One Book, One Chicago' has gradually decreased.
