본 연구는 이용시설노인들을 대상으로 차문화 융합 프로그램을 실시하여 의사소통 향상에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 H시 S복지관 내 노인주간보호센터를 이용하는 7명을 주 1회 60분씩 3개월 간 차문화 융합프로그램을 진행하였다. 차문화 융합 프로그램의 각 회기별 노인들이 차문화 융합 프로그램에 참여하는 연구대상자들에 대한 회기별 의사소통과 관련된 심리 및 행동 변화를 기록하여 비교하였다. 차문화 융합 프로그램이 이용시설 노인들의 의사소통과 관련된 행동 및 태도에 긍정적인 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 사전과 사후의 행동 및 태도를 분석한 결과 차문화 융합 프로그램이 노인들에게 정서적, 사회적 지지의 역할을 함으로써 의사소통에 긍정적인 변화를 가져왔다. 이러한 연구 결과는 차문화 융합 프로그램이 이용시설 노인들의 의사소통을 증진시키는 효율적인 프로그램임을 보여 준다는 점에서 노인들에게 차문화 융합 프로그램은 심리사회적으로 꼭 필요한 프로그램이라는 점을 시사한다.

노인인구의 증가와 맞벌이부부의 증가로 인한 노인부양방식의 변화로 중풍환자와 치매노인을 돌보는 노인의료복지시설이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 노인의료복지시설은 주로 도시의 주변에 설치되고 있으며 점차 고층화 되어가고 있다. 관리자가 최소인 야간에 화재발생 시 스스로 판단하여 대피할 수 있는 입소자들이 거의 없으며 경사로등 입소자를 대피시킬 수 있는 피난로가 없어 대형의 인명피해가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단위면적당 노인의료복지시설이 가장 많은 고양시를 중심으로 노인의료복지시설의 피난 상의 문제점을 파악하고 이에 대한 대안으로 경사로를 확보하거나 침대피난용 승강기를 확보하고, 입소자들의 침실을 한 시간 내화로 방화구획하며, 계단을 피난계단의 구조로 하며, 구조대 설치 등 피난에 필요한 시설들의 설치 및 주변기관과 화재 시 상호협력 하는 업무협약을 체결할 것을 제안하였다. 국가는 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하는데 필요한 방안을 제시하여야 한다. 날로 증가되어가는 의료복지시설의 피난안전을 위하여 본 제안의 신속한 적용이 필요하다.

Purpose: The main purpose of this paper is to assess a body of research evidence that articulates the impact of physical and environmental factors on behavioral·psychological health and quality of life for the elderly people with dementia who reside in long-term care facilities. This follow-up study of the previous literature review aims to further identify physical and environmental factors, that improve health and quality of life for the elderly people with dementia, published in recent five years and to expand the understanding of clinical outcomes as mechanism that mediate the effect of physical environmental factors on improving behavioral·psychological health and quality of life for the elderly people with dementia. Methods: Comprehensive literature review has been conducted to identify empirical studies that link the design of dementia care facilities to health- and quality of care(QOL)-related outcomes and this follow-up review scrutinized peer-reviewed articles published in recent five years (from January 2018 to December 2022), filling the gap between the previous literature review and the current state of research. Results: The review identified a growing body of literature that articulates environment-related factors that improve behavioral·psychological health and quality of life for the elderly people with dementia living long-term care facilities. Implications: The findings of the review can be translated to design implications and design decisions to promote psychological and behavioral health and quality of life of people with dementia in long-term care facilities.

As the elderly population increases, concerns for the elderly's welfare become greater both quantitatively and qualitatively. In order to give a chance for the elderly to live in familiar dwelling and regional context to which they are accustomed, and to participate in their society actively, it is of great importance that suitable living spaces must be provided for the elderly. The practical ways of providing people with good living environment and its easy maintenance for healthy and valuable lives were discussed in this paper. This research is designed to propose pertinent policies related to social issues concerning the elderly. 137 seniors over 60 living in Gwanaju city were sampled and surveyed. The scope of planning for the elderly's lifestyle and welfare is divided into two parts, one is planning of space for the realization of stable and spacious dwellings and another is urban environment planning capable of supporting healthy and affluent lifestyles. Also, the realization of stable housing, the construction of urban structure for a healthy life, and the provision of barrier-free living conditions are investigated. For increasing the degree of stabilization and improvement for the elderly's life, self-governing bodies should grasp the demands of living condition and spatial requirements by taking the lifestyles of the elderly into account in urban or regional levels. Then, a master plan including development, improvement, execution, and maintenance of proper housing facilities and urban environments should be made for the best results.

Despite the substantial increase of the elderly population in Korea, welfare policies such as housing programs have not been developed enough to meet the diverse needs of the aging people. Particularly, caring for elderly dementia patients is becoming a serious social problem in Korean society. Families are still primarily responsible for taking care of the elderly dementia patients, and thus are suffering from tremendous caregiving burdens. In many Western countries, group homes, which are small-scale care facilities with home-like atmosphere, have become common housing alternatives for elderly dementia patients. Group homes effectively create a therapeutic environment while helping reduce the elder care burdens for the families. This article proposes to review group homes as a housing option for the elderly with dementia in Korea. The purpose of this article is to make suggestions for housing policies, separately or as a part of more general welfare policies. Based on the questionnaire survey conducted on 912 persons currently residing in Seoul and five different provinces, various possible policies and suggestions to promote establishing group homes and other facilities for elderly dementia patients are discussed in this article.

Concerns about paid-facilities for the elderly with dementia from middle and upper class families have been discussed lately in Korea. Small-scale, home-like group homes for the elderly with dementia were developed in Sweden in the 1980, but they have not been effectively introduced in Korea where they remain a comparatively new concept. The group home, however, would provide a good alternative to Koreans who feel guilty when they have to leave their frail parents in large-scale facilities or hospitals instead of caring for them at home. The aim of this paper is, first, to define the care of the demented elderly who come from upper and middle class families in Korea and, secondly, to discuss the need for group homes to help care for them. A survey was done by questionnaire and was answered by 577 respondents who belonged to middle and upper class families living in Korea in December 2000. Methods of analysis were frequency, mean, and Chi-square. The results of this study were as follows: 1) the traditional notion that the eldest son should be burdened with the primary responsibility for a demented parent has weakened remarkably; 2) a small-scale long-term care facility was considered the most desirable living environment for the demented elderly; 3) the facilities families needed for professional hospitals for victims of dementia, senior citizen centers, large and small-scale long-term care facilities, day-care centers, and short-stay and service housing. The study also revealed that there was low awareness of the group home. The most preferred type of structure for group homes was a single-family detached house, and the most preferred management system was small-scale that could create home-like atmosphere. Additionally the respondents wanted group homes to consist of 6-8 residents with 2-4 persons per room. The results of this study strongly suggest that policy makers should encourage the development of smallscale group homes as an alternative form of housing for the elderly with dementia.

The demand of elderly care facilities due to aging population has been increased and the trend of developed countries implies the necessity of innovate approach for elderly care in Korea. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the flexible elderly housing alternative which has been introduced showing adaptability and small scale. This elderly housing alternative was designed to fulfill the condition of residential facilities for various aging phases from the independent elderly to dependent elderly. The workshop method was used for pre-evaluation of the flexible elderly housing alternative from the viewpoint of administrators, care givers and the elderly. The pre-evaluation is to estimate the facility before finalizing the design so that it facilitates more effective and suitable plan by reducing the trial and error beforehand, unlike the post-evaluation. Major responses of plans were positive and the needs for improvement about some concerns were revealed. Thus, relevant aspects of architectural drawings were amended according to workshop participants' needs and features that require to be reflected during further planning procedures were also improved. The result of this research will develop the flexible elderly housing alternative and contribute to foster environment for the elderly as well.
