This study selects factors affecting form type of hospital architecture by considering studies and references on hospital architecture type in korea and other countries in general. Also this study classifies general hospitals chronologically and analyzes type change of general hospitals in relation with periodic change of healthcare environment. Through this, this study aims to analyze chronological change of general hospitals' form type and provide the current of hospital architecture's general type. The form type classification of this study is classification according to the form of ward, classification according to the relationship between ward and D.T.D(Diagnostic and Treatment department), classification according to the relationship between O.P.D(Out Patient department) and D.T.D, classification according to the rate of centralization, classification according to the circulation system. The form type of ward changed from plate type to tower type, and the circulation system of ward changed from middle corridor to double corridor, the number of Team Nursing chaged from 1 to 2 in 1990. On the other hand the chage of others classifications took place from 1990' to 2010'. It is judged that this overall change is appeared by a change from an inpatien-oriented system to an outpatient-oriented system followed by an increase in number of outpatients, an increase in amenities in ground floor and adoption of healing environment for patients and visitors.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of the nursing work environment and self-efficacy on medical safety competence of nurses in general hospital. Methods: Participants included 183 nurses who were recruited through convenience sampling in a general hospital in South Korea. Questionnaires were collected from August 25 to September 22, 2023. The nursing work environment, self-efficacy and medical safety competence scales were used to assess the study variables. The t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression tests were performed using IBM SPSS ver. 26.0. Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between nurses' medical safety competence and nursing work environment (r=.34, p<.001), and self-efficacy (r=.48, p<.001). Self-efficacy (β=.38, p<.001), nursing work environment (β=.25, p<.001), and clinical experience (β=.14, p=.043) had the greatest effect on nurses' medical safety competence (F=21.21, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 30.0%. Conclusion: This study confirmed that the nursing work environment and nurses' self-efficacy have a significant impact on nurses' medical safety competence. In order to implement patient safety in hospitals, it is necessary to develop and apply strategies to improve the nursing work environment and increase nurses' self-efficacy to enhance their medical safety capabilities.

Objective: The aim of this study is to present a solution to problems in the services provided by the general hospitals by creating a user-centric environment through analyzing the User Journey Map and the User Context. Background: The rapid growth in aging population and the monopolization of superior medical staffs by the general hospitals increased demand for the general hospitals in Korea. But, often services provided by the general hospitals are provider-centric and low quality. Method: This study examines problems in the services provided by the general hospitals by analyzing the User Journey Map through stakeholder interviews(contextual interviews) and on-site observation. Based on the contextual analysis of the user(i.e. the patient), this study proposes new and improved user-centric services to be provided by the general hospitals. Results: Ten new user-centric services proposed by this study are: (1) "Booklet on Success Story", (2) "FAQs by Doctor", (3) "Designated Nurse", (4) "Patient Interview Record Card", (5) "Close relationship between doctor & patient", (6) "Thank You Notice Board", (7) "Step by Step", (8) "Green Cap", (9) "Patient Kit", (10) "RFID Direction Display System". Conclusion: The service design for the general hospitals proposed by this study is an important case-study on improving the environment of the general hospitals from provider(medical staffs)-centric to user(patents and its family)-centric. Application: This study is expected to be used in various areas to improve existing system(products and/or services) to be more user-centric.

The purpose of this study is to know how to improve environment of multi-bed room by investigating and analysing factors influencing to patients. 1 measured stress and satisfaction degrees about patient room for 4ㆍ5ㆍ6ㆍ7 men of domestic general hospital wards. The results of research show that patients of 4 bed room appeared the fewest stress and highest satisfaction degree among patients of other room styles. The patients positioned between two beds can give us more stress and fewer satisfaction than others. These results have proven that 4 bed room patients are offering comfortable environment than any other room types as a healing environment. When patient room area are more than 7.3$M^2$ per 1 person, bed interval space is more than 120cm, there is curtain between bed, transit space such as a toilet were established in patient room, patients' satisfaction appeared high.

Computer Education form is rapidly growing and has been developed in a variety of forms such as off-line. on-line, multimedia, ICT education . These forms are changed to E-Learning, Blended-Learning and Ubiquitous-Learning. Ubiquitous-Learning model schools have already been running on a national scale according to the policy of the Ministry of Education. In this study, to understand the necessity for the Ubiquitous-Learning and Ubiquitous-Environment, the awareness of the Ubiquitous environment and U-learning in model schools and general schools is analyzed and compared. Through this study, a desirable model about Ubiquitous-Learning and Environment will be explored.

Regarding the green environment, it is important to boost the spread of environmentally friendly vending machines and to operate the vehicles for their inventory replenishments while minimizing emissions of greenhouse gases. In general, the vending machine management company lacks capability to operate the supply chain effectively in an integrated way under the dynamic, complex, and stochastic environment. This paper presents a decision support system, termed DSSVM, for the operations of the general and smart vending machine supply chains with stock-out-based, one stage item substitution in a green logistics environment. The DSSVM supports the estimation of item demand and substitution probabilities, determination of operation parameters, supply chain analysis, what-if analysis, and $CO_2$ analysis for which various analytical models are employed.

In this paper planed Virtual Reality user interface that recently hot issue using MVLS(Multipurpose Visual Language System). Proposed system is planed for more with ease approach new type environment system. The point of this system is for more few the number of time of act to get want to result. That is easy build for Virtual Reality environment system that user so far, who did not experience. Also too, application to the environment through Multipurpose Visual Language System based, can be required to increase the case of user of existing applications, not only a simple application infrastructure Virtual Reality. This has the advantage of being able to under Virtual Reality condition the environment for the use of a wide range of applications such as view TV, video and other contents. By using the proposed system, the experience in virtual realities that have not felt during the general public to be able to easily and quickly, virtual reality or 3D Expected to can one step closer to the needs of general and industry.
