전체 인구에서 65세 이상인 인구가 차지하는 비중이 갈수록 늘어가고 있으나 여러 세대가 교류하는 기회는 적으며 세대 갈등이 사회적인 문제로 대두되고 있다. 세대교류를 통해 이러한 문제점을 해결하려는 노력은 여러 분야에서 이루어졌으나 독서와 관련해서는 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 상황을 고려하여 노인과 청년이 참여하는 독서모임을 운영하고 참여자들과 개별 인터뷰를 진행하여 분석하고 시사점을 제시하는 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 참여자들은 세대 간 교류를 할 기회가 적다는 점에 공감하였으며, 노인과 청년이 함께하는 독서모임 참여경험을 통해 독서를 중심으로 한 세대교류가 서로에게 도움이 됨을 알게 되었고, 이러한 기회가 많아지기를 희망하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 세대가 교류하는 독서모임의 시사점을 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 다른 세대와 함께하는 독서모임이 활성화되고 사회적 독서의 장점이 널리 알려지기를 기대한다.

The purpose of the study is to present the social welfare center planning factors of space for promoting intergenerational exchanges between the elderly and children. To achieve the purpose, the study conducted a survey of professionals on the importance of planning factors. The results are as follows. First, it is surveyed that less high are Korean social welfare center planning and availability extents of space for intergenerational exchanges, while less no profound are the necessity and concern of such spaces. The result suggests that social welfare centers need a concrete planning of space for intergenerational exchanges. Second, it is identified that in order to promote intergenerational exchanges, there need to plan planning factors of each space, especially with focus on 'outdoor space' and 'specific space.' Third, it is revealed that regarding the importance of factors of 'specific space,' physical supports account for the high rates; architectural factors providing free space contribute to the supports of physical development; and decorative factors giving visual effects could be helpful for behaviors. Fourth, it is unveiled that the supports of physical behaviors are of the most importance in 'connecting space'. This would be planned as a path that gives a free access in spaces, with attention being paid to safety. Lastly, it is shown that in the case of 'outdoor space,' the supports of physical development are of the most importance. Given the fact that 'outdoor space' offers a wider scope of activities, and accommodates various available elements in connection with surrounding environments, it is considered that the space would be of help for intergenerational interactions. The study is expected to be utilized as the preliminary data which proposes the social welfare center planning factors of space for promoting intergenerational exchanges between the elderly and children.

This study examined bidirectional associations between intergenerational residential proximity and older parents' mental and physical health. The data were drawn from first three waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006, 2008, 2010), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 2,391 parents aged 60 years or older with at least one child who were continuously married between 2006 and 2010. Intergenerational residential proximity was measured with travel time between parental residence and that of the oldest of the continuously married children. For statistical analysis, autoregressive cross-lagged models were estimated using AMOS. Findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may have bidirectional associations with functional health, and an unidirectional association with life satisfaction. Specifically, a closer distance to a married son or daughter reported in 2006 was associated with poorer functional health of the parent in 2008. An older parent's greater number of functional limitations in 2006 was also related to a closer residential proximity to the married child in 2008. A greater residential proximity to a son, but not a daughter, reported in 2006 was associated with a higher level of parental life satisfaction in 2008. Overall, results suggest that having nearby a married adult child, particularly a married son, may help maintain parental health.

이 연구의 목적은 아동들과 노인들이 만드는 세대공동체가 노인들에게 주는 의미와 세대공동체 구현을 저해하는 요인을 밝히는 데 있다. 이를 위해 문화기술적 연구의 주요 방법인 참여관찰 및 면담 기법을 사용하였으며, 연구 참여자는 총 24명이다. 연구 결과, 노인들은 아동들과 세대공동체 구현을 위한 다양한 프로그램에 참여하면서 다음과 같은 의미체계를 만들어 갔다. 첫째, 세대 간의 의사소통이 원활해짐에 따라 세대 간의 이해가 증대된다. 둘째, 공동체 안에서의 자연스러운 조화로 함께 성장하는 문화가 형성된다. 셋째, 삶에 대한 만족감과 자신감이 회복되어 자기 효능감이 높아진다. 넷째, 유목적이고 창조적인 활동을 통하여 새로운 놀이문화를 창조한다. 다섯째, 끊임없이 배우며 나누는 기쁨을 공유한다. 그러나 이 과정에서 경직화된 관료주의적인 운영과 프로그램에 참여하는 노인들의 다양한 개인차와 같은 문제점을 발견하였다. 또 세대공동체 형성을 위한 프로그램 부족과 세대 간 접촉기회의 부족도 문제점으로 지적할 수 있었다. 그러나 세대공동체 구현을 위한 노력은 세대 간의 이해와 협조를 돕고 노인들의 성공적 노화에 기여함을 알 수 있었다.

The purposes of this study were compare the leisure attitudes, leisure activities, and leisure constraint among three different generations - teenagers, adults, and elderly adults. Data were obtained from a Questionnaire completed by both male and female lived metropolitan, and aged over 13. Using the factor analysis, this study classified the types of leisure attitudes. The leisure attitude was divided to 4 factors - reducing stress, self-realization, family activity, and surplus time. In order to compare the attitudes, activities, and constraints of leisure among three different generations, ANOVA was used The findings of this study are as follows: First, there were significant differences between teenager group and the others. The teenagers (n=107) recognized the leisure as a mechanism of reducing stress, or as just surplus time. They liked sports, computer games, travels, and reading books, but were not likely to like leisure activities shared with family members. Their leisure constraints were significantly larger than those of the other groups. Teenagers' constraints of time, money, and skills could be leisure barriers. Second, adults group (n=123) attached importance to the family leisure activities. They liked to spend time with their family members, but they seemed to be relatively passive in most types of leisure activities. They like to read newspapers and magazines, and to participate in religious activities. Third, elderly adults' (n=86) purpose of leisure activities was to improve the health condition, and to develop relationships with their friends. They liked sports such as swimming and aerobic dance, travels, religious activities and community service activities. Their good health condition and economic resources could decrease the leisure constraints.

Purpose: With particular focus on the analysis of elderly community space in local communities, this study aims to propose policies and points to consider in the planning and management of community space that can encourage the elderly to actively participate in community activities. Methods: The study explores five different Japanese community spaces that have been utilized as platforms for intergenerational interactions; the research was carried out by literature review, field work and interviews. Results: The results are as follows. First, the planning of the community space for the elderly must be combined with the space that the locals often use. Community space should not be seen as a place for a specific generation, but for everyone to interact with each other at any time; hence it must be fostered to be accessible for anyone regardless of age. Second, community space for the elderly requires to be planned as an accessible place for everyone such as cafes and restaurants. The adjacent areas require social infrastructure like libraries and public baths which are frequently used by people from various age groups. Third, in order to spark off the intergenerational community space as the stronghold of local communities, it needs to be a place where the elderly is given sufficient role and meaning as a member of the community. To achieve this, it is essential to support the locals to take active measures in creating job opportunities for the elderly and the disabled, and to develop voluntary self-sufficiency and volunteering programs.
