This paper conducted a feasibility study by applying an Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence-based management system for the elderly living alone in an aging society. The number of single-person families over the age of 50 is expected to increase, and problems such as health, safety, and loneliness may occur due to aging. Therefore, by establishing an IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, a stable service was developed through securing a rapid response system for the elderly living alone and automatically reporting 119. The participants of the demonstration test were subjects under the jurisdiction of the "Seongnam Senior Complex," and the data collection rate between the IoT sensor and the emergency safety gateway was high. During the demonstration period, as a result of evaluating the satisfaction of the IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, 90 points were achieved. We are currently in the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, the number of elderly living alone is continuously increasing, and the number of people who cannot benefit from care services will continue to occur. Also, even if the COVID-19 situation is over, the epidemic will happen again. So the care system is essential. The elderly care system developed in this way will provide safety management services based on artificial intelligence-based activity pattern analysis, improving the quality of in-house safety services.

본 연구는 노인의 여가활동과 사회적 지지가 심리적 복지감에 미치는 영향과 사회적 지지의 조절역할을 탐구하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 본 연구를 위해 서울 소재 노인종합복지관, 노인대학 및 노인문화센터 10곳의 여가활동프로그램에 참여하는 347명의 노인들로부터 자료를 수집하였다. 자료수집도구로는 구조화된 질문지를 사용하였으며, 가설검증을 위한 주된 분석방법으로는 단계적 회귀분석방법을 사용하였다. 연구결과 생산적 여가활동은 심리적 복지감의 긍정적 차원인 생활만족도의 증진과 부정적 차원인 고독감의 감소에 중요한 영향을 미쳤으나, 소비적 여가활동은 생활만족도의 증진에만 상대적으로 작은 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째로, 생활만족도 증진에는 배우자지지가 가장 중요한 영향을 미치고 그 다음으로 자녀지지, 친구지지의 순으로 나타난 반면에, 고독감 감소에는 친구지지가 가장 중요한 영향을 미치고 그 다음이 배우자지지였으며, 자녀지지는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 마지막으로, 사회적 지지의 세 유형 중에서 배우자지지와 친구지지의 두 유형이 생산적 여가활동과 생활만족도 간의 관계를 조절하며, 생산적 여가활동과 고독감 간의관계에 대해서는 친구지지만 조절역할을 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과가 갖는 이론적 실천적 함의를 논의하였으며, 향후연구방향을 제시하였다.

The elderly are more likely to experience passive emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, and depression due to decreased physiological function and low participation in social activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to seek how to apply biophilic design from a healing perspective considering mental health to the residential space for the elderly. Biophilic design has a positive effect on the psychological stability of human being and the creation of a human-centered environment that provides various benefits to people's health through the combination with natural elements. The method of this study is as follows. First, survey tools are developed by reviewing literature related to biophilic design and planning factors in housing. Second, we conduct the survey around mental health status and preference of applying biophilic design patterns to the elderly and pre-elderly.
