This study investigated the characteristics of architectural planning in the youth training centers, which were introduced to the magazines from 2000 to 2010. The result are as followings. Firstly, the youth training centers were located mainly in general residential area, that the youth could be easily accessible. And, it were located mainly in green natural area, which is adjacent to the mountain or park. The site area of the youth training center was analyzed to approximately $10,000m^2$ below. Secondly, the placement and the form of the youth training center is divided two types, which are a single and two buildings type. A single building case is found the type of 'ㄴ' and 'ㄷ' shape, and two buildings case is found the type of 'ㄴ + ㅡ', 'opened ㅁ', 'ㅡ + ㅡ' shape. It is found mostly the type of 'ㄷ' shape. Thirdly, the youth training center is planned mostly with fifth stories above ground and three underground levels.

최근 우리나라는 OECD 국가중 1위를 차지할 만큼 고령화사회로 고속화되고 있으며, 한국의 기대수명이 점차적으로 늘어감에 따라 사회에서 노인의 비중은 커져간다. 따라서 주요 노인계층의 행복감은 사회 전체적 분위기 및 행복감에 기여되는 부분이나 신체적, 심리적, 사회적 변화로 인한 노인의 삶의 질적 저하는 우울증, 자살률 증가 등의 사회적 문제로 발전될 수 있다. 이처럼 노인의 삶의 질과 만족도 향상에 대한 사회적 관심이 주어지면서, 경로당은 재가노인 사회활동의 중추적 역할을 담당할 수 있는 복지시설 형태로서 새롭게 주목받고 있다. 그러나 최근 경로당의 역할 부담의 증가로 인하여 노후된 환경개선에 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 물적 인적 자원의 한계로 인하여 정작 사용자를 배려한 실내환경의 질적 논란이 일고 있다. 색채환경은 사용자의 심리적, 정신적 영향이 높은 실내 환경인자일 뿐 아니라, 가장 저비용으로 환경만족도를 높일 수 있는 방안이라는 점에서 경로당 색채환경의 질 향상이 필요하다고 판단된다. 그러나 지금까지의 노인시설지침 중 색채환경에 대한 내용은 미비한 실정이며, 노인관련 시설에 대한 선행연구는 활발히 이루어져 왔으나, 산발적이므로 경로당 색채환경의 현주소 파악과 향후 개선방향의 도출을 위하여 관련 연구를 종합하여 체크리스트를 개발할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 산재되어 있는 경로당 관련 법규 및 가이드라인과 경로당의 주 사용자인 노인의 특성(신체적, 심리적, 선호적) 관련 연구를 종합하여 체크리스트를 도출하며, 이는 경로당 색채환경의 평가도구로 사용될 수 있음을 기대한다. 경로당이 현재 전국적 네트워크를 가지는 주거영역에 기능하는 중요 노인여가시설이라는 점을 감안할 때, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 활성화될 기존의 경로당 환경개선을 보다 사용자인 노인의 심리적, 정신적 만족도 향상을 가능하게 하여 사회적으로 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

Results: Among all subjects, 51.1% reported having depressionMild depression was reported by 29.7% (54 subjects), moderate depression by 13.2% (24 subjects), and severe depression by 8.2% (15 subjects). Activities of daily living, including walking, climbing stairs, standing from a chair and sitting on and using toilets, using a telephone, bathing, shopping, cleaning house, and managing money were significantly lower in elderly subjects who were depressed (p<0.05). The greater the level of depression, the less able they were to engage in activities of daily living. Conclusion: These findings may help us achieve early detection of depression in the elderly and provide mediated arbitration so that they can have better health condition and greater ability to engage in activities of daily living.

Purpose: This research study not only examine the relationship between cognitive function, IADL, depression and quality of life, but also clarifies factors impacting quality of life for the elderly. The purpose of this study is to administer health promotion programs and to improve quality of life for the elderly. Methods: Data were collected from May 20, to June 10, 2014. The participants were 157 elderly persons with mild cognitive injury (MCI), who had under 23 points on MoCa-K from three different senior welfare centers in Daejeon. The questionnaires were conducted by four university students after receiving instruction from the researcher and consisted of general characteristics, cognitive function, depression and quality of life. SPSS WIN 19.0 program was used for data analysis. Results: Cognitive function showed positive correlation with quality of life (r=175, p=.028). IADL did not show correlation with quality of life (r=-.005, p=.947). However cognitive function(r=-.344, p<.001) and depression (r=-.623, p<.001) showed negative correlation with quality of life. In addition, the factors impacting quality of life were cognitive function (${\beta}=.14$, p=.29) and depression (${\beta}=-.61$, p<.001) which accounted for 39% of quality of life. Conclusion: These findings showed that the participants had depression and their cognitive function was low. As a result, the more participants' cognitive function decreased, the more their quality of life decreased. In addition, the more their depression decreased, the more their quality of life improved.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between cognition, depression and leisure activity in elderly people above 65 years of age, and to improve their health and quality of life by providing baseline data for occupational therapy intervention. This investigation was performed on 118 elderly people above 65 years of age who lived in local community and two senior welfare centers. In order to collect the data, we used MMSE-K, KDS, Questionnaire for leisure activity. The depression of elderly people was negatively correlated with their cognition(p<.01) and leisure activity(p<.001), whereas cognition was positively correlated with their leisure activity(p<.01). In conclusion, the correlation between cognition, depression and leisure activity of elderly people appeared statistically significant. Therefore, leisure activity program should be designed through additional research and effectively provided in nursing home and community senior welfare center to prevent depression increase and cognitive decline.

Through an examination of future societal development, it was found that the demographic structure is gradually aging, thus placing higher demands on elderly welfare centers. This study conducted surveys on three elderly day care centers in the entire region, aiming to enhance the pivotal role of elderly day care centers in the welfare facilities for the elderly. The current usage status, interior architectu/ral evaluations, and questionnaire surveys of these centers were analysed. The results of investigation into the architectural environment of the elderly day care centers showed that in terms of physical environment, smaller-scale centers did not lag behind larger ones in internal facilities, but larger-scale centers excelled in spatial utilization. Furthermore, the results of questionnaire survey results revealed correlations between family relationships, health status, level of assistance required, and satisfaction with facility usage, while no correlation was found between usage time, health status, and satisfaction with facility usage. This study conducted basic investigations such as architectural and physical surveys, and questionnaire surveys on elderly day care centers. Based on the survey results, future design practices should continuously explore and innovate to meet the needs of an aging society, further improve the community care system, provide more comprehensive and meticulous services for the elderly, and lay the foundation for enhancing the quality of life for the elderly and providing comfortable services.
