연구목적: 본 연구는 보행교통사고 사망사고 중 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 무단횡단 보행자의 보행특성을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 분석 방법은 영상장비를 이용하여 무단횡단 보행자의 자료를 수집한 후, 고령자와 비고령자의 무단횡단 특성에 대한 빈도분석과 통계적 검증을 수행하였다. 연구결과:고령자와 비고령자의 무단횡단 특성에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 보행속도의 경우, 유의미하지 않는 결과가 도출되었다. 그러나 고령자 중 보행이 어려운 그룹은 그렇지 않은 그룹에 비해 보행속도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 무단횡단은 연령대 및 보행능력에 의한 문제가 아닌 불법행위에 대한 인지 및 사고 위험에 대한 안전불감증이 원인 중 하나로 안전 교육과 무단횡단 다발 구간에서 운전자의 주의를 요구하는 보행자 정보 제공이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: In Japan, more than 60% of employees are reported to suffer from anxiety and stress. Consequently, Japanese society has begun to address such important issues as psychogenic disability and job-related suicide. Furthermore, given the aging of society and the surge in the number of elderly people requiring care, it is necessary to adequately and proactively support employees who care for their elderly relatives. The purpose of the present study was to investigate caregiver burden in caring for elderly relatives and work-related stress factors associated with mental health among employees. Methods: We studied 722 men and women aged 18-83 years in a cross-sectional study. The K10 questionnaire was used to examine mental health status. Results: The proportion of participants with a high K10 score was 15% (n = 106). Having little conversation with their supervisor and/or coworkers significantly increased the risk of depression [odds ratio (OR) 1.8], as did high job overload (OR 2.7) and job dissatisfaction (OR 3.8), compared with employees who frequently conversed with their supervisor and/or coworkers. Caring for elderly relatives as a prominent characteristic of an employee was a significant risk factor for depression (OR 2.1). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that employees who were caring for elderly relatives were significantly associated with an increased risk of depression. To prevent depressive disorders, it may be important to focus on reducing the work-caregiving role conflict, as well as enhancing employees' job control and better rewarding their efforts in the workplace.

앞으로 교통약자의 수가 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상되므로 노인, 장애인과 같은 교통약자를 위한 다양한 정책이 마련되어야 할 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 교통약자들의 보행안전만족도에 보행자의 개인 및 가구특성과 공공시설 접근성이 미치는 영향을 실증분석하고, 교통약자의 보행안전만족도를 향상시키기 위한 방안을 모색하여 포용적 도시환경 조성에 기여하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 노인의 보행안전만족도에는 연령, 성별 변수가 중요하였으며, 장애인의 보행안전만족도에는 학력이 중요한 요소였다. 노인과 장애인 모두 1인가구일수록, 소득이 많을수록, 광역시가 아닌 지역에 거주할수록 보행안전만족도가 증가하였다. 공공시설 접근성의 경우 공공기관 접근성에 만족할수록, 도시공원 및 녹지 접근성에 만족할수록, 대중교통 접근성에 만족할수록 노인과 장애인의 보행안전만족도가 증가하였다. 노인은 상업시설 접근성에 만족할수록 보행안전만족도가 높아졌으나, 의료시설 접근성에 만족할수록 오히려 보행만족도는 낮아졌다.

This study investigates the working conditions of shift workers according to age group by analyzing the sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey's data. A total of 1,323 shift workers were extracted from the dataset. Three age groups (A: 20s-30s, B: 40s-50s, C: 60s and above) were statistically compared in terms of health problems, emotional hazard exposure, work-life imbalance, and satisfaction with working conditions. Elderly shift workers (those in their 60s and above) had significantly more severe health problems and work-life imbalance, greater exposure to emotional hazards, and lower satisfaction with working conditions than young shift workers (those in their 20s-50s). The study's findings reveal the characteristics of working conditions for elderly shift workers and would be useful for improving shift workers' quality of life, as well as safety and productivity in the workplace.
