This research is designed to identify factors that affect life satisfaction of the Korean elderly by studying residential environments and individual personalities as independent variables, and life satisfaction of the elderly as a dependent variable. It also includes emotional and instrumental support to describe relations between variables as mediating variables. It utilizes a questionnaire survey as its research method and studies those aged 65 and over living in urban, suburban and rural areas. In addition, regression and path analysis is used to identify casual links between different variables. The results are as follows: (1) Direct factors that impact emotional support are home ownership (direct effect= -.18) and transportation services (.15). That is, those who own their home and have easy access to public transpiration show increased levels of emotional support. (2) Direct factors that affect instrumental support are economic status (direct effect= .311) and living arrangement (.17). In other words, those who are financially stable and live with their children have more instrumental support.

Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze obesity index of citizens in Seoul which is a metropolis of Korea and a densely populated district. The data used in this study included 179 men and 152 woman subjects who are living in Seoul. Somatotype using $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Index can be classified by 3 types (thin, standard, obesity). In order to analyze a detailed somatotype of citizens, age groups are divided into $30{\sim}34,\;35{\sim}39,\;40{\sim}49,\;and\;50{\sim}59$ years according to gender, respectively. In order to compare and analyze data, Coefficient of Variance, Cronbach's Alpha, $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Idex and Drop Value were used in this study. The results of this study can be applied to the comfortable and safe work environments for workers.

The principle of aging-in-place should be fundamental in designing post-retirement homes to support baby boomers' healthy aging in their current living conditions. This study investigated Korean-American baby boomers' opinions about their life images in their post-retirement homes and the needs for supportive services therein. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and a total of 247 responses were used for statistical analyses. As the most important life image for their post-retirement homes, baby boomers emphasized the living environments offering various recreational activities. They indicated the post-retirement homes close to their children or family members as the next important life image. These opinions differed depending on their socioeconomic characteristics. In particular, baby boomers with higher-income preferred housing environments offering diverse recreational activities while those with lower-income preferred the housing close to more employment opportunities. In terms of supportive services available in the post-retirement homes, they wanted 'healthcare assistance services' and 'diverse recreational programs.' Gender, educational attainment, and annual income affected their preferences in these services, though. Based on the findings, this study concluded that post-retirement housing environments should create spaces to accommodate various recreational activities and include places for them to work in near-home environments. In the community, various need-based customized recreational activities and educational programs should be planned considering different socioeconomic characteristics of baby boomers. All these considerations will provide supportive residential environments for their successful aging in place.

본 연구는 청소년에 대한 빈곤의 영향을 주로 가족의 측면에서 연구하였던 기존의 관점에서 탈피하여, 빈곤청소년이 거주하는 지역사회 환경의 위험성과 폭력성에 주목하였다. 즉, 본 연구는 빈곤으로 인해 더 위험한 환경에서 거주하게 되는 청소년이 일반 청소년보다 폭력에 더 많이 노출되는지를 살펴보고, 이것이 그들의 우울과 불안을 높이는지 분석하였다. 분석 자료로 '한국청소년패널데이터' 중2 패널자료 중에서 3-5차년도 종단데이터가 활용되었으며, 통계방법으로는 구조방정식모형이 이용되었다. 분석 결과, 청소년의 빈곤 자체가 폭력피해 경험을 직접적으로 증가시키지는 않았으나 빈곤으로 인해 위험한 지역사회 환경에 거주하게 됨으로써 더욱 많은 폭력피해와 두려움을 경험하게 되며 이는 우울 및 불안으로 이어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 청소년에 대한 빈곤의 부정적 영향을 줄이는 데에 지역사회의 역량 강화의 중요성을 함의로 지적하였다.
