본 연구의 목적은 독거노인의 욕구를 지원하기 위한 ICT기반 독거노인복지서비스의 역할을 정립하는 것이다. 독거노인은 고령화가 가속됨에 따라 2010년 102만 가구로 증가 추세이며 정신적, 사회적, 경제적인 어려움 등으로 인해 사회문제로 대두되었다. 본 연구는 기존 시행된 6개 부처의 85개 노인복지서비스와 향후 제공가능 한 114개 ICT기반 복지서비스를 조사하였다. 이들 서비스를 Maslow의 욕구분류체계에 따라 유형화하고 오프라인, 온라인, 온오프라인병행 서비스로 구분하였다. 연구의 결과는 안전욕구(의료 건강), 자아실현욕구(여가 문화) 서비스에 집중되어 있고 자존욕구 서비스는 저조한 것으로 나타났다. ICT기반 노인복지서비스를 통해 환경개선, 일자리 확대, 독립적인 일상생활지원 서비스는 개선이 가능하고 심리/정서지원 서비스 등은 추가 발굴이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과로 현재 제공되는 서비스의 편중은 완화하고 부재는 보완하는 등 ICT기반 수요자 중심 노인복지서비스를 통해 독거노인의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 남자노인 1인가구의 공간복지를 위한 정책 및 제도개선을 위한 기초정보 제공을 목적으로 전북 군산시에 거주하는 18명의 남자노인 1인가구의 활동공간 이용실태와 요구를 조사하였다. 그 결과 남자노인 1인가구의 사회정서적 네트워크는 친구나 동료에 집중되었고, 자녀및 노인과의 교류가 간헐적으로 이루어지고 있었으며 이웃과의 네트워크는 희박하였다. 비공식적 상호작용은 공원이나 식음공간, 커뮤니티 시설과 같은 제3의 장소와 명확한 경계를 가진장소에서 주로 이루어졌고, 희망하는 공간은 식사제공, 노인 공동생활, 일거리, 취미여가활동, 시설개선 등과 관련이 있었다. 활동공간 이용에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 거주지역과 건강으로 분석되었고, 이 외에 사회정서적 네트워크와 경제적 상황, 취업여부 또한 영향을 주었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 제안을 할 수 있다. 활동반경의 범위가 좁은 비활동적 노인들을 위해 거주지와 근접한 장소에 산책 및 여가 공간 등을 위치시키고, 이동을 지원하는 설비가 필요하며, 지역 주민들이 저렴하게 이용할 수 있는 공공기관 내 교육, 취미여가공간이나 젊은 세대와 함께 할 수 있는 프로그램 공간에 대한 정보제공이 필요하다. 거주지 주변 시설 및 공간에 대한 정기적인 수선, 유지관리, 그리고 올바른 이용을 위한 주민 교육을 실시할 필요가 있으며, 지역사회는 남자노인들에게 필요한 것을 총체적으로 파악하고 지원하는공간과 원활한 운영이 가능한 제도와 정책을 마련해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this research is to analyze priority of the elderly user interface (UI) evaluation criteria based on user's lifestyle. Since the elderly population will occupy over 20% of the all Korean population in the near future, we need to know older users' needs and information because elderly users will be main customers in the super-aged society. This paper investigated the definition of elderly users and characteristics demographically, socio-economically, and physically/cognitively. A total of 238 questionnaires from older users were analyzed based on a segmentation table for the elderly developed by the previous study. According to factor analysis and cluster analysis, 6 types of lifestyle and 4 groups of the elderly users were classified, respectively. The priority of UI evaluation criteria for large electronic home appliances and mobile products was analyzed by analyses of variance (ANOVAs). The results indicated that the priority of (physical, emotional, and cognitive) UI criteria was significantly different among elderly users' lifestyles for both home appliances and mobile products. Consequently, the results of this study may help the company develop some competitive silver products and give higher satisfaction to the elderly users by suggesting different priority of UI evaluation criteria according to the target elderly group. The results may also contribute to revitalize national economy by significantly increasing senior market shares.

As the importance of elderly's dietary life have increased, low-income elderly's meal should be taken care by social policies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of systematic management in home-delivery meal service. This study aims to investigate the elderly's experience on home-delivered meal service, especially identifying the symbolic meaning of home-delivered meal service on elderly's dietary life. Using an in-depth interview, qualitative data was collected from five elderly participants who received home-delivered meals. Data was analyzed based on Colaizzi's 6 steps method, deriving 148 significant statements, 18 formulated meanings, and 5 themes: , , , , and . Elderly participants regarded the home delivered meal as not only a decent meal but also felt appreciated. The home-delivered meals were found to be their only meal all day; thus, they considered these meals as a means of survival. Home-delivered meals are considered as a lack of consideration for the elderly's physical condition, including their tastes, portion size, and cooking method. Also, these elderly seemed to lose their appetite due to aging and it caused the enjoyment of eating. The elderly have kept silence never expressing any opinions regarding the home delivered meals because they were offered for free. The results suggested that the home-delivered meal service should be developed with the multilateral evaluation methods to reflect the elderly's needs to improve the quality of the home-delivered meal service.

As the most significant problem, residents perceive the lack of storage space for individual units, Partially attributed to space limitations. In addition, bathroom needs varied dramatically among residents based on their health and whether wheelchairs are used. Therefore, it was found that instead of standardized bathrooms, a customizable configuration for the resident's unique physical condition and accessibility must be considered. The residents also addressed their concerns about security for entrance and foyer areas. Due to the small living areas, they wanted to have available outdoor public space for various social activities. Furthermore, they reported the need for small social gathering areas while friends and family members are visiting them, in addition to their small living units, which average 49.8 sq. ft. each.

그동안 노년기 사회참여에 관한 연구들과 정부 사업들은 공급자의 관점에서 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구는 노년기 사회참여의 주체인 노인의 욕구를 바탕으로 향후 관련 정책 방향을 제시하는 데에 목적을 두었다. 연구 목적 달성을 위하여 본 연구는 서울시에 거주하는 60세 이상 35인을 대상으로 Q 방법론을 적용하였다. 연구 결과, 노인들이 이상적으로 생각하는 노년기의 사회참여 모습은 스스로 원하는 것을 선택하여 독립적이고 활발하게 활동하는 것이다. 반대로, 노년기에 접어들었으나 여생을 어떻게 살아야 할지 혼란스러워하는 것이 이상적이지 않은 노년기 모습이다. 이를 바탕으로 노년기 사회참여 욕구는 4가지 요인(자아 중심 여부, 사회적 자본 유무, 삶의 만족수준, 삶의 활력 출처)별 상 하위 유형의 총 8가지 유형으로 구분되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 통해 사회참여 욕구 유형별 특성과 사회참여의 동기를 이해할 수 있으며, 유형별 대응 방안을 검토할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 모든 개입 방향의 전제는 당사자의 사회참여에 대한 자발성이라는 함의를 제시한다.
