한국사회는 2000년 이후 사회서비스 수요의 급격한 증가에 대한 대응으로 사회서비스를 확대, 실시하였고, 현재까지 이용자의 다양한 욕구를 파악하고 충족하기 위한 서비스를 개발해 왔다. 그동안 사회서비스는 가치재로서 준공공재적 성격으로 인하여 민간영역에서 다양하게 확대되어 오는데 한계를 보여주었다. 이에 본 논문은 6대광역시에서 시행하고 있는 사회서비스 중 아동대상사회서비스와 노인대상사회서비스를 중점으로 분석하여, 현 제공되고 있는 사회서비스의 문제점을 파악하고 앞으로의 정책방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 프로그램 분석을 위해 한국보건복지정보개발원, 6대 광역시 시 도 사회서비스지원단 등의 사회서비스 프로그램을 영역별로 표집하여 분석하였다. 프로그램 분석 결과 사회서비스 프로그램 영역의 다양화, 서비스제공인력의 전문화, 지역사회특수성 반영, 서비스 정보 접근성 확대 등의 발전방향이 제시되었다. 또한 개선방안으로는 프로그램 결정과정에서의 이용자 참여 확대 및 서비스 공급자간 네트워크 구축이 필요함이 제시되었다.

본 연구는 우리나라가 초고령화 사회로의 진입을 앞두는 상황에서 공공도서관이 노인이용자에게 편리한 여가시설이자 세대를 통합하는 공간적 기능을 지닌 사회적 기관으로서 인식되기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 시도되었다. 특히 도서관의 공간 및 시설 설계에 대한 시사점과 전략을 찾기 위한 것이 본 연구의 목표이며, 이를 위해 해외 도서관 노인서비스 공간·시설 관련 주요 지침을 분석하여 관련 시사점을 도출하였다. 또한 도서관 서비스 이용경험이 있는 노인이용자를 대상으로 심층면담 조사를 수행하여 노인을 위한 공간·시설 조성 시의 기준과 우선순위 등을 규명하고, 그 결과 공공도서관이 노인서비스 공간을 구성하기 위한 방안으로서 '개방형 노인서비스 공간'과 '통합형 노인서비스 공간'을 제언하였다.

E-government refers to the delivery of government information and services online through the Internet or other digital means. Unlike traditional structures, e-government systems are two-way, and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The interactive aspects of e-government allow both citizens and bureaucrats to send and receive information. Criticism about the provision of e-Government services, however, has proposed a more user-oriented approach. The user needs to be placed at the center of the development and the provision of e-Government services. Furthermore, e-government literatures seldom explore acceptance issues among the aged. Attempting to address this gap, we take the approach based on a combination of Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior, with data gathered via a questionnaire from service users over 50 years and older. The findings indicate that perceived usefulness, ease of use, subjective norms, trust, visibility, facilitating conditions and political efficacy are direct or indirect predictors of citizens‘ intention to use an e-government service. Implications of this study for research and practice are presented.

The purpose of this study was 1) to review communal housing in the UK, 2) to consider the policy implications for elderly communal housing in Korea. The research methods used were 1) literature review about communal housing and related policy in the UK 2) field survey in the UK 3) interpretative suggestion for the proper policy implication to develope communal housing for the elderly in Korea. Sheltered housing in the UK had been developed as communal housing for the elderly with special needs since the 1970s. The type of sheltered housing were category 1 and category 2. Very sheltered housing with more facilities and meal services was added in 1980s. Sheltered housing was evaluated as the most humanistic solution for older people in the UK in 1980s. Because of the policy of moving institutional care to community care, sheltered housing became less in demand because of more options for older people including being able to stay in their own home. So new completion of sheltered housing by registered social landlords reduced saliently. Sheltered housing already totalled over half million units in which 5% of all elderly over 65 still lived and a small quantity of private sector for sale schemes emerged in the 1990s. The reason why the residents moved to sheltered housing was for sociable, secure, and manageable living arrangements. In general the residents were satisfied with these characteristics but dissatisfied with the service charge and quality of meals, especially in category 2.5 schemes. The degree of utilisation of communal spaces and facilities depended on the wardens ability and enthusiasm. Evaluation of sheltered housing indicated several problems such as wardens duty as a \"good neighbour\" ; difficult-to-let problems with poor location or individual units of bedsittiing type with shared bathroom ; and the under use of communal spaces and facilities. Some ideas to solve these problems were suggested by researchers through expanding wardens duty as a professional, opening the scheme to the public, improving interior standards, and accepting non-elderly applicants who need support. Some researchers insisted continuing development of sheltered housing, but higher standards must be considered for the minority who want to live in communal living arrangement. Recently, enhanced sheltered housing with greater involvement of relatives and with tied up policy in registration and funding suggested as an alternative for residential care. In conclusion, the rights of choice for older people should be policy support for special needs housing. Elderly communal housing, especially a model similar to sheltered housing category 2 with at least 1 meal a day might be recommended for a Korean Model. For special needs housing development either for rent or for sale, participation of the public sector and long term and low interest financial support for the private sector must be developed in Korea. Providing a system for scheme managers to train and retrain must be encouraged. The professional ability of the scheme manager to plan and to deliver services might be the most important factor for the success of elderly communal housing projects in Korea. In addition the expansion of a public health care service, the development of leisure programs in Senior Citizens Centre, home helper both for the elderly in communal housing and the elderly in mainstream housing of the community as well. Providing of elderly communal housing through the modified general Construction Act rather than the present Elderly Welfare Act might be more helpful to encourage the access of general people in Korea. in Korea.

본 연구에서는 실제 대상지를 선정하여 비교실험을 통해 신체적 변화를 고려한 노인친화형 공원의 유치거리를 도출하고자 한다. 우선 연령별 500m(도시공원의 설치 및 규모의 기준에서의 근린생활권 근린공원의 유치거리)의 보행시간을 도출해 본 결과, 65세 이하의 청 장년층인 대조군의 평균 보행시간은 536초, 65세 이상의 실험군인 노인층은 889초로 청 장년층에 비해 노인층의 보행시간은 약 1.7배 더 소요되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 성별에 따른 보행시간을 분석해 본 결과, 65세 이후로부터 여성에 비해 남성의 보행시간이 더 많이 소요되는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 대조군과 실험군의 평균보행시간을 활용하여 속력을 도출하였다. 비례공식을 적용한 가중치의 값은 0.6으로 나타났으며, 이를 근린생활권근린공원의 유치거리인 500m에 접목시켜 본 결과, 노인친화형 공원의 유치거리는 300m로 도출되었다. 마지막으로 대구광역시 중 노인인구 비율이 가장 높은 중구를 대상으로 노인친화형 공원 유치거리인 300m를 적용시켜 녹지서비스 소외지역을 정량적으로 검증해 보았다. 도시공원 서비스 지역은 $2,425,747m^2$, 도시공원 서비스 소외지역은 $4,627,700m^2$로 나타났으며, 분배적 형평성에 따르면 행정동 별로 도시녹지의 불균형이 심각한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인들을 대상으로 스마트폰 교육이 그들의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고, 일대일 교육 방식을 적용한 스마트폰 교육의 긍정적인 요소를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 수행 기간은 2018년 5월 14일~6월 11일 까지로 총 5주간 일주일에 1번, 1시간 30분 동안 진행하였고, 노인 1명과 봉사자 1명으로 구성하여 일대일 멘토링 형식으로 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과 노인들을 대상으로 한 스마트폰 교육을 통해 노인들의 자기 효능감이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었으나, 행복감과 삶의 질에는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이를 통해 빠르게 변화하는 현대사회에서 노인들을 긍정적인 삶의 유지를 위해 정보화 교육의 필요성을 인식시키고 노인들의 보다 나은 삶을 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
