This research tried identifying the current status of Gyongrodangs to find solutions to the problems of the oldest old through revitalization of the existing senior centers. With 31 national and public Gyungrodangs in Seocho-gu, Seoul as research subjects, the research contents include a survey of the facilities including main exit doors, living rooms and lounges, kitchens, and rest rooms in the Gyungrodangs by the checklist, and as the research tool a laser finder, measuring tapes, and cameras were used. The checklist was used as the research method to investigate main exit doors, living rooms and lounges, kitchens, and rest rooms. Based on the research results, the following conclusions are presented. The safety-related items of the public Gyungrodang facilities were reaching a critical level. They need to equip emergency exit routes, install exit lights and alarm bells, and teach how to use them. After that, the issue of rest room would be raised; the oldest old had difficulty in using the rest room with no consideration of universal design(UD), so installation of grab bars is needed around toilets, washstands, and urinals. Besides them, although absence of the western style furniture without consideration of users' ages caused inconvenience of using, there are no solutions due to the limited space. Unnecessary equipment such as treadmills which only occupy spaces without users should be thrown away and replaced with the furniture people would use like tables with supplement of furnitures to lie down and rest. Overall, the current Gyongrodang Facilities lack systems and need standardized management, in which the checklist this researcher developed and used in evaluating the present conditions could be recommended. It is expected that the evaluation system of senior centers would be arranged through this checklist, so that systematic service supply could be possible in the better facility environment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate food safety practices and knowledge of foodservice workers at senior welfare centers. A self-administrated questionnaire was administered to 1200 foodservice workers at senior welfare centers in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi province. Two hundred five responses were returned, with 181 usable for analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS for Windows(ver.14.0). Volunteers of respondents comprised 64.1% while chefs and employees comprised 20.9%. Food safety practices were assessed using a 5-point scale(1: strongly disagree - 5: strongly agree), and the average score of food safety practices was 4.27. For specific practices, 'personal hygiene (4.46)' scored the highest, followed by 'cleaning and sanitizing(4.43)', 'separate handing(4.40)', 'cooking process(4.11)', and 'receiving and storing(4.05)'. There were significant differences in the practice average score by age(p<0.01) and experience of food safety education(p<0.01). The total score for food safety knowledge was 14.43 out of 20 points. In the category of food knowledge, 'equipment and facility(80.5%)' had the highest correct answer rate, followed by 'personnel hygiene(75.9%)', 'cooking process(70.4%)', and 'cleaning sanitizing(65.8%)'. There were significant differences in the knowledge total score by job type(p<0.05), age(p<0.05), working experience(p<0.05), chef certification (p<0.01), and frequency of food safety education(p<0.01). The knowledge and practice scores were significantly correlated(p<0.01). This study suggests that food safety education for foodservice workers should be conducted continuously and repetitively, and the development of proper education materials is needed to improve the effectiveness of food safety education for chefs, employees and volunteers at senior welfare centers.

고령화시대를 맞아서 한국은 2008년부터 노인장기요양보험을 실시하면서 노인부양부담을 가족으로부터 국가의 책임으로 인식하기 시작하였다. 데이케어센터(주간보호센터)는 사회적 보살핌을 제공하는 시설 중의 하나로 입소생활시설과는 다른 주간이용시설인데 설립초기 자원부족 및 서비스 질 향상 등의 문제가 지적되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 데이케어센터를 지역을 중심으로 접근하면서 그 발전방향을 논의하였다. 또한 전문가심층면접분석을 통해서 데이케어센터의 차후 비전을 제시하였다. 심층분석 결과로는 데이케어센터에서 제공하는 건강케어 프로그램은 지역사회의 문제 및 특성을 반영하여야 하고, 사용자 중심이어야 하며 지역통합적 방식을 취해야 함이 제시되었다.

본 연구는 노인여가복지시설 중 하나인 경로당을 중심으로 고령자의 공간이용행태를 조사하여 공간이용도 및 만족도 개선을 위한 조건을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 경로당을 이용한 경험이 있는 만 65세 고령자 300명(남성 104명, 여성 196명)을 대상으로 경로당 공간이용행태 및 선호이용행태를 파악하기 위하여 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 고령자의 경로당 이용빈도는 월 1-3회가 가장 많았고, 선호 이용빈도는 주 1-3회로 나타났다. 즉, 경로당을 자주 이용하고 싶지만 실제로는 자주 이용하지 못한다는 결과가 나타났다. 경로당에서 건강증진을 위한 활동프로그램의 선호도가 높은 것을 볼 때, 건강증진을 목적으로 하는 공간프로그램이 제공된다면 이용도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 파악된다. 두 번째, 경로당 이용시간이 최소 1시간에서 최대 5시간으로나타남에 따라 다양한 개인적 활동을 지원하는 공간이 제공된다면 만족도 및 이용도가 향상될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 세 번째, 경로당 이용하지 않은 이유에 대하여 친목의 어려움, 접근성의 어려움으로 나타나 친목을 강화시켜줄 수 있는 프로그램 또는 공간구성이 개선되거나 접근성을 제고시켜줄 수 있는 다양한 편의를 제공하는 것이 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.

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.

The results of this study showed that most respondents were somewhat actively preparing toward work in later life and the level of preparation differed by the individual characteristics such as age, health and occupation. They preferred various work items specially managing facility center, raising animals and plants, and managing educating center, which were different from what current elderly workers were mainly involved in. Similarly to the work, most respondents cared for the kind of leisure activities to continue and saved money for the leisure expenses in later life. The better the economic conditions, the more actively prepared for leisure in later life. They were strongly expected to participate in public leisure facilities and programs for the elderly as a user, volunteer, and/or activist. Over two thirds of the respondents preferred to work and live together in later life and over two out of five had intention to move to the senior community available to work. The more active in work and/or leisure in later life, the higher intention to work together and/or to move to the community. Those results generally supported the previous research showed that the needs of work and leisure in later life would be increased and varied, therefor housing for the elderly should considered work space and program as well as leisure.

The study was initially designed to look into the soon-to-be senior citizens' preferences for the life after retirement in aging society. Its outcomes are to be contributed to grading up the quality of housing culture through examining the expected changes of housing types in the future. The increasing number of the soon-to-be senior citizens becomes leading subjects in information, culture and consumption areas. Therefore it is significant to present a model of housing types for those citizens by analyzing their preferred residence after retirement. To complete those objectives, a set of questionnaires concerning sex, age, district, education and income of those subjects in 40's-50's, who are expected to be more than 20 percent of national population by 2030, were collected and analyzed to find out their preferences over housing types, residential welfare facilities, and co-housing. The results show that the preferences over the residential welfare facilities and co-housing for those who are able to move for themselves are low, while the preferences over single-unit houses in the suburbs within 2 hours from a city are very high. Preferences for apartments in the urban areas are high for those with high income and education. In contrast preferences for life in their hometowns are high for those whose income and education are relatively low. Most of those with some difficulties in moving for themselves want to get help with welfare facilities for the elderly people. And the preferences of those who want to receive help from assistants are different from those preferring to get help from their offsprings, which tells a need for further study of the convertible housing types according to their family members.
