The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship among housewive's backgrounds, laundry practice, laundry concept and interests about environmental pollution. Two separate samples were selected to study a possible relationship among housewive's backgrounds, laundry practice, laundry concept and interests about environmental pollution in rural and urban areas.

But there was no difference in laundry practice between the rural area and urban area. 2. There were significant differences between laundry awareness and age, education, occupation, housing type and income. But there was no difference in laundry awareness between the rural area and urban area. 3. There were significant differences in environmental interest by age, education, occupation, housing type, income. There were significant differences in environmental interest between the rural and urban areas. 4.

The study deals with the empirical research on the condition of nutrient intake of low income class which be represented by urban slum and rural area, with the analysis of the factors which might influence on the prevalent condition of nutrient- intake. The method of the research was based on the spot-survey with questionaires. The result is that the levels of nutrient-intake are below the standard requirement level of nutrients in both of urban slum and rural area. The level of nutrient intake in urban slum lies in approximately 50% of the standard requirement level and 80% of the standard requirement level in rural area. The extent of malnutrition was explained in terms of the amount of calorie, protein, calcium and iron. More than half of the population in the community are below the standard requirement level of the nutrient- intake. The problem of malnutrition was serious in urban slum than in rural areas, which made a good contrast with the result of Peru study. Deficiency in calcium was most serious. The factor analysis of the prevalent condition of malnutrition in low class suggests that 1) The function of local market in supplying food is not so effective in the sense that the quality of the foods purchased id the local market is poor. 2) Low level of knowledge, the consequent ignorance and the indifference to the nutrition and the low income led to malnutrition. The level of income and the education were significantly correlated to the nutrient-intake.

The present study was performed to evaluate dietary behavior, food intake, and satisfaction with food-related life regarding the elderly residing in different regions of Korea. The survey was conducted on 631 individuals over 55 years old in either urban or rural areas. The survey was carried out using a questionnaire including dietary behavior, mini dietary assessment, and a food frequency questionnaire. The average age of the rural elderly was higher than that of the urban elderly whereas, education level and economic status were higher in the urban elderly compared to the rural elderly. The intake of dairy products, meats, instant foods, snacks, and the use of nutrient supplementation were significantly higher in the urban elderly than those of the rural elderly (p = 0.000). The intake of vegetables was significantly higher in the rural elderly (p = 0000). Furthermore, the rural elderly were more satisfied with food-related life and had better balanced diets than those of the urban elderly. Taken together, the results of this study revealed that customized nutritional management and education for adequate meals in different regions should be developed and provided in order to improve the quality of healthy living for the elderly.

This study investigated differences in nutritional knowledge and eating habits of adolescents living in rural and urban areas of Inner Mongolia, China. A survey was conducted on 869 middle school students in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia: 436 from urban and 433 from rural school. Subjects answered a questionnaire about socio-economic characteristics such as parents' education level and family affluence scale, nutritional knowledge, needs for nutritional education and food habits. Levels of parents' education (p<0.001) and family affluence (p<0.001) were significantly higher in urban students. Nutritional knowledge level of urban students was higher than that of their counterparts (p<0.001). However, rural students reported higher needs for nutritional education (p<0.001). Rural students more frequently consumed snacks (p<0.001) and instant noodles (p<0.001) than urban students. However, consumption frequencies of lunch (p<0.001), dinner (p<0.001), fast food (p<0.001), fruits (p<0.001), vegetables (p<0.001), and milk (p<0.001) were higher in urban students. Considering differences in eating patterns between urban and rural students in Inner Mongolia, appropriate nutritional education programs and nutritional policies should be established for rural students to promote a healthy diet.

도시화 산업화로 인하여 도시지역과 농촌지역은 인구 구조, 경제수준, 인프라 등 다양한 특성에서 차이를 보이고 있으나 재난안전대책은 이러한 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 다양한 분야에서 도시와 농촌을 비교하는 연구를 실시하고 있지만 재난 및 안전 관리적 측면에서의 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 지역의 재난관리 대책 마련 시 도시지역 및 농촌지역 주민들의 자신이 살고 있는 지역에 대한 체감안전도, 문제점, 요구사항이 무엇인지 파악하고 주민의견을 반영할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시와 농촌의 재난환경에 관한 이론적 검토를 실시하였으며, 도시지역과 농촌지역에 거주하고 있는 주민들의 재난안전에 대한 인식을 알아보기 위해 주민들에게 재난안전(비구조적요소, 구조적요소, 인적요소, 환경적요소)에 관한 의식조사를 실시하였다. 또한 이를 토대로 향후 도시지역과 농촌지역의 재난관리계획 수립 시 반영사항을 도출하였다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Concerns about regional disparities in heathy eating and nutritional status among South Korean adults are increasing. This study aims to identify the magnitude of regional disparities in diet and nutritional status among Korean adults who completed the 2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). SUBJECTS/METHODS: The participants were a nationally representative sample of Korean adults aged 19 years and older from the 2017 KNHANES (n = 6,126). We employed the svy commands in STATA to accommodate the complex survey design. The relative concentration index (RCI), absolute concentration index (ACI) and index of disparity were used to measure regional nutritional inequalities. RESULTS: Overweight and obese adults were more prevalent among the poor than among the rich in urban areas (RCI = -0.041; P < 0.05), while overweight and obese adults were more prevalent among the rich than among the poor in rural areas of South Korea (RCI = 0.084; P < 0.05). Economic inequality in fruit and vegetable intake ≥ 500 g per day was greater in rural areas than in urban areas in both relative size (RCI = 0.228 vs. 0.091, difference in equality = 0.137; P < 0.05) and absolute size (ACI = 0.055 vs. 0.023, difference in equality = 0.032; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides useful information identifying opposite directions in the relative concentration curves between urban and rural areas. Adult overweight/obesity was more prevalent among the poor in urban areas, while adult overweight/obesity was more prevalent among the rich in rural areas. Public health nutrition systems should be implemented to identify nutritional inequalities that should be targeted across regions in South Korea.

본 연구는 지역사회의 식환경 측정에 대한 시도로, 우리나라 일개 지역의 음식점의 분포와 접근성을 도시지역과 농촌지역으로 나누어 살펴보고, 우리나라 식생활의 특성을 반영하는 한식 음식점과 비한식 음식점의 분포와 접근성에 대해서 살펴보았다. 도농통합시에 해당하는 경기도 일개 시의 도시지역 2개 동과 농촌지역 1개 면을 대상으로, 해당지역에 위치한 음식점의 위치 정보를 수집하였고, 한국표준산업 분류체계에 따라 한식 음식점과 비한식 음식점으로 분류하였다. 조사 대상지역의 일부 거주자를 선정하여 대상자의 거주지를 기준으로 GIS 분석을 통해 단위구역 당 음식점의 밀도와 가장 가까운 음식점까지의 거리를 산출하였다. 그 결과, 도시지역이 농촌지역에 비해 음식점의 밀도가 높고, 음식점의 상권이 거주지를 중심으로 집중적으로 분포하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 도시지역은 한식 음식점보다 비한식 음식점의 접근성이 좋았던 반면, 농촌지역은 한식 음식점이 비한식 음식점보다 접근성이 좋았다. 본 연구는 최근 여러 분야에 접목되고 있는 GIS를 식환경 분야에 처음 도입하여 우리나라 지역사회의 외식환경의 현황을 파악한 연구로서 의의가 있으며, 추후 외식환경과 개인의 식생활의 연관성을 파악하기 위한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
