This study was conducted to examine elderly users' satisfaction with welfare services and the environments of the senior citizen centers in mid-sized and small cities in Korea. Three hundred and two elderly users were surveyed for this study. Age and gender differences in the level of satisfaction were found. The male elderly users and older users were more satisfied with the education programs than the female and younger users. The elderly people who reside in single-family residences were more satisfied with the educational programs and part-time job opportunities offered at the center than the elderly users who were living in apartment buildings. This could be explained by the fact that dwellers of single housing had more freedom and more room for self-regulation in scheduling their program participation, whereas the apartment building residents had rarely experienced social exchanges with their neighbors. There were significant differences in satisfaction with the environments of the centers by gender, marital status, age, level of education, religion, and housing type. The group differences were explained by the abundance of community activities that are centered around younger and female participants. Based on these findings, it is suggested that more specialized educational and social programs should be developed for the younger users in their early 60s, that co-ed religious activities and hobby programs should be expanded, and that the home-visiting welfare staff should regularly provide the elderly users the information on programs and activities.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of socio-economic status of potential consumers on the types of senior congregate housing(SCH) among 4 urban areas(Seoul Metropolitan area, Busan, Gwangaju, and Daejun). This study was part or a research series to develop SCH which meets the korean situation. The Questionnaire used for the final analysis involved 1006 people and SPSS Windows program was used for statistical analysis. The opinion about SCH should differ among the 4 urban areas according to Socio-Economic Status(SES). The results of this study were as follows: The opinions on SCH varied in each region according to SES indicating that diverse constructions of senior housing to meet selective needs of the old can create high demand in a construction market. In order to induce active participation of the private sector, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, rather than the Ministry of Health and Welfare, should be in charge of the development of SCH. This is desirable in the perspective of developing new types of housing as for general housing. In this case, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation should consider geographic locations and environmental factors of each city. Moreover, the successful development of SCH needs an effort to reexamine an appropriate development plan rather than adopting the cases of developed countries without criticism. In terms of policies, the government should provide financial support for building sharing space, give an exception on a measurement rate, assist in the education of supervisors and establish a management system and so on.

This paper examines the changes in housing characteristics occupied by two or more households from 1995-2005, as a replicated follow-up study done by the previous decade of 1985-1995. The data analyzed were based on the Population and Housing Census in 1995, 2000, and 2005 by the Korean National Statistical Office. Results showed decreasing trends in the percentages of housing units occupied by multi-households and of households sharing a housing unit, while the average number of households for a shared housing unit was increasing. Detached dwellings in dongs (neighborhood) including ordinarily single-family detached ones, mainly multi-family houses, were the most often shared with other households even in the trend of the decreasing number of the detached housing. Further research is suggested to focus on housing circumstances of households sharing a detached dwelling in Dongs by the type of detached dwellings.

The result of this study were as follows; in unit-based facility plans, Single room type can be used for elder who lives alone or an elderly couple. Senior Congregate Housing type can be used for four to five people. These two types have equal sunlight and ventilation conditions for each room, and are for an old man in relatively good health. Membership resort type is for the healthy senior who lives in the rural area or lives in the city who wants short-term residence. In case of a Nursing home type, the existing one-sided corridor was converted into a central corridor and each classroom is divided into four rooms.

평균수명의 증가 및 출산율의 저하와 함께 수반되는 급격한 인구고령화는 단기간에 우리나라의 경제 사회 문화 전 분야에 걸쳐 중대한 변화를 야기하고 있다. 단순히 노인의 비율이 늘어나는 것뿐만 아니라 평균수명이 계속해서 증가하여 많은 국민들이 장기간의 노후생활을 영위해야 하는 상황이다. 이와 같은 배경에서 노인들이 인간으로서의 존엄과 가치를 유지하면서 품위 있게 인생을 마무리할 수 있도록 노인복지 관련법제의 역할과 기능이 특별히 강조될 수밖에 없으며, 사회보험 및 공공부조와 기능적 연계성을 토대로 사회복지서비스를 목적으로 하는 노인복지법의 역할도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 노인복지법은 노인을 위한 사회복지서비스의 내용을 제시하고 있는데, 그중에서도 소득보장, 보건의료서비스, 요양 및 주거복지를 중심으로 하는 복지조치 그리고 일자리 등 사회참여지원 등을 핵심요소로 하며, 그와 같은 복지서비스의 유기적 결합을 통하여 노인이 살아가는데 적합한 생활조건을 실현할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위하여 노인복지법은 기초노령연금법과 노인장기요양보험법 등 관련법제와 밀접한 규범적 네트워크를 형성하면서 효율적인 노인복지시스템을 구축하게 된다. 그러나 우리 현행 노인복지법 및 관련법제는 21세기의 고령사회, 장수사회를 대비하는데 여전히 미흡하다고 하지 않을 수 없다. 노후소득보장과 다양하고 수준 높은 노인의 사회참여의 결합, 보건 의료와 요양의 효율적 연계 및 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 비용부담수준, 복지조치의 효과성 제고를 통한 품위 있고 존중받는 노인복지의 실현을 위해 더 많은 노인들을 포괄할 수 있는 다양하고 구체적인 개선방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
