Nowadays, the change of the social structure such as the elderly society and the broken traditional family conception is progressing rapidly. The social change produced a lot of problems, and the welfare from among these is the urgent problem. The welfare for the aged is very important problem in an aging society. The changes of industrial and economic structures also caused the increase of double-income families. The numbers of schoolchildren decreased rapidly because of the low birth and elderly society. So, many idle spaces of existing school facilities have emerged, and these left spaces is being blamed for the fiscal waste. If these idle spaces were used for the welfare-facilities, it will be of assistant to solve the problem about welfare and use the school facilities effectively. And then, the big profit from these enterprises can be used for the better welfare for education.

This study explored genetic and environmental contributions to optimism, depressive symptoms, and the association between the two using a genetically informative sample from the Nonshared Environment and Adolescent Development project (NEAD: D. Reiss; J. M. Neiderhiser; E. M. Hetherington; & R. Plomin, 2000. At Time 1 of the longitudinal NEAD study, the sample consisted of 720 samesex twins and sibling pairs from two parent families. The study used parent, adolescent, and observer ratings of depressive symptoms as well as adolescent ratings of optimism. The results revealed that genetic influences explained approximately half of the variability in optimism and depressive symptoms. Nonshared environmental influences also substantially contributed to optimism and depressive symptoms. Bivariate genetic analyses (which partitioned the covariance between optimism and depressive symptoms into genetic and environmental components) indicated that genetic influences accounted for a moderate percentage of the association.

In an aging society, the mobility and the accessibility are considered sincerely for the elderly and the handicapped person. The slide-up seat system, which helps board and disembark a car via electric power was developed for the elderly, the handicapped and the families who accompany them. In this paper, critical factors and methods to design the mechanism and controller for safety and comfortableness are suggested. The performance of the system including linkage, electrical, and electronic parts was improved by changing the detail design and some parts after durability test for them.

This study analyzes the servicescape of a dog-friendly hotel, which is the most important element of travel with a dog, which is increasing as the types of families diversify, and intends to suggest implications for servicescape strategies to enhance competitiveness in the future. The number of households with companion animals is increasing in line with the aging of the population, changes in the demographic structure due to the rapid increase in single-person households, and increase in income. In order to successfully operate a hotel with companion animals, which cannot have all the facilities like a large hotel, we would like to segment the market according to the user's pursuit of convenience and propose an appropriate servicescape design method.

Initiating dialysis at an advanced age is both a clinical challenge and an ethical dilemma, because the benefits in older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease may be offset by high rates of dialysis-related morbidity. Geriatric conditions, such as aging, frailty, functional impairment, and cognitive impairment, significantly influence the prognosis of elderly patients. Therefore, it becomes important to provide patients and families with prognostic information regarding timing of initiation, which is further complicated by the competing mortality risk. Shared decision-making by clinicians and patients can yield better clinical outcomes and quality of life. Through this approach, patients can opt for the most appropriate treatment based on their personal values, which often entails conservative management.

The purpose of this study is to make a model of Family Life Cycle in Korea now. Answers to a questionnaire were collected from 724 housewives in Seoul area, 232 housewives in big cities, 203 housewives in small cities. The questionnaire contained 10 items about family situations,. Analyzing method employed for modeling to family life cycle are frequency, percentage, X2 -test . Results and findings are as follows; 1) The mean of first marriage age is 22.4yrs old. 23.5yrs old is the result of statistical materials published by E.P.B. 1975. The age of first marriage is higher according to the age, education & residential area. 2) The mean of first baby bearing age is 24.2 yrs old (generally 1 year after marriage). This age is the same as the result of statistical materials published by E.P.B. 3) the mean of last baby berating age is 32.6 yrs old compared to the E.P.B. statistical materials 3 yrs. low. This age is very different according to the age, education & residential area. 4) The mean of first child marriage age is 46.4 yrs old compared to the E.P.B. statistical materials 2.5 yrs old low. 5) the mean of last marriage age is 52.7 yrs old. this age is also 2.3 yrs low compared to the result of E.P.B. materials. 6) The number of child & interval is quite different according to the result of family planning generation of not. 7)According to the wife's employment, it does not show and difference. 8)The result of analyzing by F.L.C.,, we don't have launching stage & middle age stage apparently. So, we can make model of F.L.C. in Korea as follows (it will be change). 1) Establishment stage; from marriage to first baby born (23yrs old -24yrs old). 2) Child bearing & rearing stage; form first baby born to first child enter primary school(24 yrs old-30 yrs old). 3) Families with children's education stage; from first child primary school to high school graduation (30 yrs old-42yrs old) 4)Families with adult children stage; form first child got army college or stay at home(42 yrs- 48 yrs old). 5)Families with children's marriage stage; from first child marriage to last child marriage (48yrs old-57yrs old). 6) Aging stage; from last child marriage to self dying.

본 연구는 룩셈부르크소득연구의 가구소득자료를 이용하여 1980년대 이래 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤의 실태는 어떻게 변화하고 있는가를 분석하고, 빈곤의 변화추세를 인구집단별 및 소득원별로 분해함으로써 경제사회구조 및 공적소득이전제도의 변화가 빈곤의 추세와 어떠한 관련을 맺고 있는지를 탐색하였다. 연구결과는 먼저 대부분의 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤이 심화되는 추세에 있음을 보여 준다. 이처럼 빈곤이 심화되는 추세에 있는 것은 노령층이나 편부모가구 등 전통적으로 빈곤의 위험이 높은 인구집단이 증가하고 있는 때문만은 아니다. 노령층의 경우 연금제도 등 공적소득이전의 영향으로 인해 생산연령층에 비해 빈곤상태가 낮은 수준을 보이고 있으며 시장소득의 빈곤도 점차적으로 감소하는 추세에 있다. 편부모가구는 전반적으로 생산연령층 일반가구에 비해 빈곤의 정도가 심한 편이나 빈곤의 변화추세는 노동시장정책 및 공적소득이전제도의 차이에 따라 국가별로 크게 다르게 나타난다. 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤이 심화되는 것은 무엇보다 생산연령층 인구의 빈곤, 특히 시장소득 빈곤이 심화되고 있는데서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 경제의 세계화와 노동시장 유연화에 따른 실업 및 비정규직의 증가, 저임금 노동자의 증가 등 최근의 경제환경 변화가 생산연령층 인구의 빈곤을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용할 가능성이 높은데, 이에 대한 구체적이고 깊이 있는 분석과 함께 이 계층에 대한 빈곤정책이 확대될 필요가 있다.
