Due to the mass production of housing in Korea, homogeneous current housing may fail to represent residents' preferences, especially for the elderly. The purpose of this study is to identify the preferred properties of consumers for accessible housing and to examine whether cluster analysis can identify groups of residents with similar accessible housing preferences. Using a conjoint method, prospective users can jointly consider all accessible attributes, with cost attributes suggested by this study. Four categories (accessibility, safety, convenience, cost), 7 attributes (clear width, level difference, installation of grab bars, installation of elevators: only for single house type, non slippery floor materials, safety alarms, service control devices, cost) and 2 levels for each attribute were chosen. A total of 374 questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire survey method. This study employed ratings-based Conjoint analysis and the respondents ranked each card, which consisted of a set of accessible housing attributes. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. The findings of this study have identified 3-4 clusters for each housing sub market. Each cluster has a different combination of socio-demographic characteristics and residential characteristics, and showed the relative importance or preference values for each accessible attribute of the segmentation. For the single housing, one group of people strongly preferred installation of elevator. The results suggested that better customization of housing could be more appealing to the different clusters of residents, providing accessible housing with cost limitations.

As society increasingly ages, maintaining an independent lifestyle at home becomes an important issue for older people. This study aims to determine old people's housing needs for maintaining an independent lifestyle despite their health status and living arrangements. A total of 438 residents voluntarily took part in a research questionnaire survey through the quota sampling method. The participants were grouped according to age (60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and over 75), gender (male and female), and house type (apartment houses and others). The results are as follows. (1) The senior residents are mostly within a non occupational, low income, and low subjective living status. (2) They are satisfied with their current residence and hope to manage the rest of their life in the same place. (3) Three out of five residents prefer the apartment housing type to other types of housing. The preferred dwelling size, number of rooms, and preference for use of an extra room all varied depending on gender and housing type as well as whether they were a couple or living alone. (4) The older residents have a higher need for a safety system than do the younger residents. Female residents pay more attention to convenience while male residents pay more attention to safety. The non-apartment residents require more modification to fundamental facilities such as a heating and ventilation system, wind protection, and additional storage than do the apartment residents. This study has thoroughly analyzed request characteristics according to basic qualities of the elderly households.

본 연구의 목적은 고령사회를 앞두고 우리나라 노인들의 신종 중독문제를 예방하고자 노인의 인터넷 중독 실태와 영향요인을 파악하여 양적 증대를 넘어 질적 향상을 도모하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울시에 거주하고 있는 만 60세 이상의 노인을 대상으로, 지역 내 복지관, 문화센터, 경로당, 기타 지역에서 일대일 면접 조사를 통해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과는 노인 인터넷 중독 정도는 평균 36.16점(SD=10.02)이며 최소 20점에서 최대 65점의 분포로 나타났다. 인터넷 중독 정도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 컴퓨터 이용시간(β=.248, p<.001), 월용돈(β=.180, p<.01), 연령(β=.139, p<.01), 사회적 지지(β=.087, p<.05), 자기효능감(β=-.078, p<.05), 주이용 장소(β=-.116, p<.05), 가족관계 정도(β=-.147, p<.01), 주택형태(β=-.153, p<.01),의 순으로 나타났으며, 이 변인들의 설명력은 17.6%로 나타났다. 즉 컴퓨터 이용시간이 많을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 월용돈이 많을수록, 주택이 자가가 아닌 경우, 가족관계 정도가 낮을수록, 주이용 장소가 집이 아닌 경우, 자기효능감이 낮을수록, 사회적 지지가 높을수록 인터넷 중독정도를 증가시키는 예측변인이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 조사결과를 통해서 인터넷 중독 노인을 대상으로 집단 심리치료 프로그램을 실시하고, 인터넷 이용 관련 매뉴얼을 제작 및 배포하여 중독 관련 요인에 따른 사례별 맞춤형 사례관리 서비스가 이루어질 수 있도록 하며, 일반 노인을 대상으로 인터넷 이용 관련 교육을 실시하여 잠재적 위험에 있는 노인들을 대상으로 예방적 서비스가 이루어질 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

본 논문은 65세 이상 고령인구의 수와 노인들의 건강상태 등만을 중심으로 한 기존의 연구에 더하여, 노인장기요양보험제도 제2차 시범사업의 자료를 이용한 계량분석을 통해 장기요양서비스 수요의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 우선 노인장기요양보험제도상 장기요양서비스 이용에 대한 보험 적용 대상자를 정하는 등급판정에 일상생활활동에서의 장애가 노인들이 많이 앓고 있는 고혈압, 관절염, 치매 등의 질환을 통제하고서도 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 노인들의 건강상태, 여성, 기초생활수급자 여부, 노인가구 형태, 노인가구의 월평균 소득 등이 장기요양서비스이용 및 이용 양태에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 노인가구의 월평균 소득을 통제하고서도 장기요양서비스를 무료로 이용할 수 있는 기초생활수급 대상 노인들의 재가서비스 이용확률이 높게 나타나는데, 이는 소득과 더불어 장기요양서비스의 가격도 장기요양서비스 이용을 결정하는 중요한 요인임을 의미한다.
