This study is conducted to provide an empirical review on how schools play a pivotal role in the regional communities. For this, the use of closed schools, activities to revive small-scale schools, and activities related to nearby schools outside the village were analyzed for villages that have participated and have been awarded in the Contest for Making Happy Rural Communities by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The results of this are as follows. Out of 204 villages that won the contest, there were 19 cases of school closures. Of these 19 cases, there are 17 cases in which the closed school facilities still exist. For the two remaining cases, there are no buildings and only the site remains. To summarize the use of these schools, the functions are being combined and are determined within the range that local residents can operate. The impact or success factors on the region can be summarized into five main categories through the revival of schools in the crisis of closure. First, it was an opportunity to lay an organizational foundation for village projects in the future by reorganizing the village's organization, such as the formation of a village promotion committee to revive the schools. Second, it did not just introduce outsiders to increase the population, but supported housing and jobs for them to successfully settle down. Third, a cultural community was created with senior and junior residents, and finally, the residents became teachers or formed a village education communities such as lifelong education. In the relationship with schools existing outside the village, activities with members of the surrounding schools and linked activities are being carried out in the sense of "school".

Although the school-age population is continuously decreasing, the number of people eligible for special education is increasing every year. Special schools, which are comprised entirely of students with special education needs, are vulnerable due to restrictions on evacuation in the event of a fire. However, the characteristics of special schools are not reflected in the plans related to firefighting and safety in special schools. In this study, essential items such as placement of helpers were selected through analysis of firefighting and school safety plans and collection of faculty and staff opinions. Afterwards, through analysis of experts' opinions, a basic fire evacuation scenario was presented that reflected the characteristics of special schools. We hope that this scenario will contribute to the development of customized fire evacuation scenarios for each special school in the future.

The purposes of this study were to examine if there is a relationship between elderly people's anxiety towards death and their reactions to the Star-Wave drawing, and to verify if the Star-Wave drawing was a good enough tool to measure elderly people's degree of death anxiety. The subject for this study were 307 elderly people (male 127, female 180) over 60 years of age with no physical and cognitive damage, who were residing in Geongsan city and attending colleges or welfare centers for the aged. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS WIN(ver. 12.0) program, and factor analysis, correlation analysis, Chi-square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and $Scheff\acute{e}$ test were utilized. The results showed that factors showing different levels of anxiety towards death in the Star-Wave drawing were the total harmony of the drawing, drawing style, repetition of wave, size of the star, and location of the star. In particular, the group that drew the Star-Wave drawing with total harmony felt less anxiety towards death than the other group. Therefore, the results of this study suggested a possibility of the Star-Wave drawing to be used as a good tool that could diagnose the elderly's degree of anxiety towards death.

The research is to identify social networks of problems that have an influence on the quality of ageing people's lives by using social network analysis, based on the premise that there are differences in networks of ageing problems in urban and rural areas. From analyzing network of ageing people's problems using NodeXL, vertices in the networks of both urban and rural areas are well-connected. For urban areas, financial poverty is the core problem related to the quality of life. It has direct connections with illness and health, family responsibility, housing, role loss in community, and employment, which have positive or negative interactions with the quality of older people's lives. For rural areas, on the other hand, role loss in community is the major problem. It has direct connections with the elderly abuse, financial poverty, leisure activity, divorce, isolation and loneliness from society, education, and suicide. As a result, the research shows that the problems of ageing people have strong linkages and interactive effects with a structure of network, and the networks are different depending on types of places for living.
