Korea has entered to 'aged society', which the elderly people over 65 years old is over 14% of total population. This paper aims to analyze the traffic accident by aging level. In pursuing the above, this paper focuses on modeling the traffic accident severity based on three aging levels. The main results are as follows. First, the ratio of fatal and serious injured persons (FSI) is judged to increase according to increasing aging level. Second, the null hypothesis that there is no difference in FSI among three aging levels (aging, aged, and super-aged) is rejected. Four accident severity generalized linear models which are all statistically significant have been developed. Third, the common variables are analyzed to be median age, the number of hospital beds per persons, and turn signal usage ratio. Fourth, the differentiated traffic safety policies fitted to aging levels are required. The enforcement of traffic law violation and safety enhancement of motorcycle in the region of 'aging society', improvement of traffic facilities in the region of 'aged society', and expansion of transportation facilities in the region of 'super-aged society' are evaluated to be indispensable.

본 연구에서는 소방청의 119 구급서비스 통계연보와 통계청의 인구동향조사 및 장래추계인구를 활용하여 저출산 고령화와 같은 인구 변동이 미래의 구급 이송 서비스 이용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 우리나라의 인구는 2031년 정점에 이룬 후 인구 감소가 시작될 것으로 추계되나 70세 이상 노인 인구는 계속 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면, 인구 변동을 반영한 이송률, 즉 인구 1,000명 당 이송 환자 수는 최근 추이와 비교해 큰 폭의 변화는 없으나 70세 이상 노인 인구에 대한 구급 서비스는 기하급수적으로 늘어날 전망이다. 따라서 저출산, 고령화에 따른 인구 변동은 구급 서비스의 양적, 질적 변화를 수반하게 되며, 장기적인 관점에서의 대응이 요구된다. 특히 고령화에 따른 구급 서비스의 효과적 대응은 물론 인구 변화에 따른 기존 관할 영역의 조정과 인력, 자원의 재배치 등이 고려되어야 할 것이다.

Along with the heightening development of modern medical technology in the world, the economy and quality of lifestyle has contributed to the increase in the average lifespan. Therefore the issue to deal with the aging population is becoming an important social issue. As aging population becomes a serious social problem, the issue of supporting the senior citizens is confronted with a more difficult situation. From the perspective of senior citizen's physical and social and economic situations, there are great difficulties to deal with, like lowered physical ability compared to the rest of population. Therefore the supply of senior welfare facility that is based on senior citizen's physical characteristics yet provides the opportunity to be independent needs to provided rather than just planning a simple facility that provides living accommodations. This research examines thereinto welfare center's usage of residential circulation system from the senior welfare facilities' type classification to understand the actual usage problem and presents a circulation plan that will resolve the problem.

빠른 고령화로 고령층의 증가는 인구구조 변화와 인구고령화에 영향을 미친다. 예전부터 선진국은 인구고령화를 주요현안으로 간주하여 고령화로 인한 연금 재정건전성, 건강 및 노인 복지 시스템의 지속 가능성에 집중하고 있다. 이처럼 고령층의 증가로 인구구조 변화와 인구고령화에 미치는 사망률 예측은 어느 때보다도 중요하다. 본 논문은 통계청 1970-2016년 각세별 생명표 자료를 활용하여 사망률 모형 6가지를 비교하였다. 이들 모형은 Lee-Carter(LC) 모형 (Lee and Carter, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 87, 659-671, 1992)에 근원을 두고 있으며, LC 의 가정을 수정하고 개선한 것이다. 이들 개선과정과 가정검토를 모형별로 살펴보고 우리나라에 적합한 사망률 모형을 모색했다. 분석결과 빠른 고령화와 연령별 사망률의 개선 효과를 보이는 우리나라의 경우 기대수명에 큰 변화를 주지 않고 이들 현상을 반영하고 연령별 사망률 패턴을 수정하는 LC-ER 모형 (Li 등, Demography, 50, 2037-2051, 2013)과 Li-Lee 모형과 LC-ER모형을 조합한 LL&LC-ER 모형으로 사망률을 예측하는 것이 바람직하다.

According to the OECD Report, Korea passed the first threshold to an "aging society" in which the elderly aged over 65 make up at least 7 percent of the population in 2000, and in 2018, are due to pass the second to an "aged society" in which they make up at least 14 percent-just 18 years later. It took France (starting in 1864) 115 years to complete this transition. Even Japan, legendary for the rapidity of its aging, required 24 years. It means Korea has to prepare for the aging of its population within a very short time without mistakes. Meanwhile, in a 2005 survey of the elderly, 85.5% of them preferred aging in place to moving to elderly care facilities. That means housing planning for the elderly which provides them with independent living needs to be considered seriously. The digital technology integrated home may be one of the alternatives to support this idea. In order to find a way to user oriented digital homes for the elderly, this study identified the their needs on the physical features of the ideal home and the digital services necessary through digital life scenarios.

This study reviews how an aging society can be connected to the urban-built environment, transportation system, infrastructure, and climate change topics from the perspective of policy and innovation in science and technology. Each topic was described with the aging society that we will encounter in the near future. Based on the expected discussions, we suggested how policy and technological innovations may interact with the new emerging society. Especially, digital transformation is expected to hyper-connect the aging society beyond physical barriers where numerous policies and innovations in science and technology shed light on the elderly population. We observe, however, that this cannot be achieved only by the government sector; rather, municipal governments and local communities, as well as private sectors, all together need to prepare for the new society of the aging population. Furthermore, an ideal approach is to accommodate multidisciplinary studies that can address the policy and technological innovations simultaneously and collectively. By doing so, we can minimize the negative impacts when an aging society approaches.

Purpose: As population of elderly people continues to grow, successful aging has risen to the top of the nursing science agenda. The successful aging includes maintenance of the cognitive and physical functions, as well as emotional well-beings. This study was carried out to evaluate effects of the environmental enrichments on cognition of institutionalized elderly. Method: The population was selected among the elderly aging over 65 residing at two of institutions. A quasi experimental design was used with non-equivalent control group. Study subjects were thirteen for each group. For the experimental group, physical, social and symbolic environmental enrichment program was provided for six weeks. The data were analyzed by repeated measure ANOVA and repeated measure ANCOVA using SPSS Win 11.0. Result: Compared to control group, the experimental group showed a significant difference on DSF(F=3.29, p=.046), and TMTA(F=4.76, p=.013) of cognitive function, and depression (F=5.56, p=.007) of emotional distress after 1 and 12 weeks of environmental enrichment program. Conclusion: Findings indicate that physical, social, and symbolic environmental enrichment was effective to partially prevent from cognitive decline, and to decrease emotional distress of elderly. As a nursing intervention, environmental enrichment program for elderly should be expanded for nursing practice to promote healthy aging and to offer support to the growing population of elderly. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the effect on the community elderly.

Korea, which is expected to enter a super-aged society in 2025, is facing the most worrisome crisis worldwide. Efforts are urgently required to examine problems and countermeasures from various angles and to improve the shortcomings. In this regard, from a new viewpoint, we intend to derive useful implications by applying the recent natural language processing techniques to online articles. More specifically, we derive three research questions: First, what topics are being reported in the online media and what is the public's response to them? Second, what is the relationship between these aging-related topics and individual happiness factors? Third, what are the strategic directions and implications for benchmarking discussed to solve the problem of population aging? To find answers to these, we collect Naver portal articles related to population aging and their classification categories, comments, and number of comments, including other numerical data. From the data, we firstly derive 33 topics with a semi-supervised BERTopic by reflecting article classification information that was not used in previous studies, conducting sentiment analysis of comments on them with a current open-source large language model. We also examine the relationship between the derived topics and personal happiness factors extended to Alderfer's ERG dimension, carrying out additional 3~4-gram keyword frequency analysis, trend analysis, text network analysis based on 3~4-gram keywords, etc. Through this multifaceted approach, we present diverse fresh insights from practical and theoretical perspectives.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has become one of the top ten nations with the highest aging rate. The proportion of their aging population increased from 7.2% to 10.95% from 1989 to 2017 and entered into the aging society six years earlier than what had been anticipated in 2011. The main issues in such a society are the problems associated with the elderly living by themselves and their solitary deaths. This study attempts to find a solution which would mitigate the burdens of aging or aged population who are living in a lonely and solitary living condition focusing on the system used for the purpose of managing or monitoring of their daily lives to prevent any undesirable outcomes including solitary deaths. The study also discusses the possibility of introducing the system into Vietnam.
