Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the oral health behavior in adults and their oral health status according to their residential area. Methods: The date of 'The fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2012' was analyzed for this study. This study were adults over the age of 18 who participated in interviews with the use of a questionnaire and oral examinations. Of those, 4,273 who met all the variables necessary were selected for the final analysis. The residential areas were categorized into 'metropolitan city', 'city', and 'rural area' based on Dong, Eup and Myon as administrative districts. Results: Adjusted odds ratio of oral health behavior according to residential area, self-recognition of oral health status for subjects in rural areas was 0.75(0.59-0.96), using oral hygiene devices for those in rural areas was 0.75(0.63-0.88). Adjusted odds ratio of oral health status according to residential area, periodontal disease in rural areas was 1.97(1.62-2.41), the necessity of prosthetic treatment in subjects in rural areas was 1.27(1.01-1.60). Conclusion: It was discovered that there was a difference between the oral health behavior and oral health status of adults according to residential area. Therefore, to enhance oral health status, programs for which the characteristics of areas with such differences were considered should be developed and consistent research on strategies to reduce the gaps in the oral health status should be made.

The purpose of this study is to find out distributional principles of the shop-houses in residential district through physical composition of residential area. Through the research that are based on literature and field survey, it analysed the relation between physical composition of residential area and the shop-houses of selected four sites under similar urban condition where land readjustment project were held. The consequences of this study are summarized as follows; 1) A road that is not penetrating the inside a residential area is seemed to have low occupancy of shops comparing to other roads with similar hierarchy. And the shops functions as convenience facilities. It can be inferred from the statement above that even a road with higher hierarchy is not easy to form commercial area if without penetrating the residential area. 2) According to the size and the arranged method of Inner blocks of residential area towards major roads, distribution of shop-houses appear to be different. In other words, when shop-houses are located along the roads, the proportion of shop was higher than when located perpendicular to the roads. 3) When the number of average lots are little and the size of block is small, usually, street ratio and the number of corners gets higher, which eventually increases the number of shop-houses.

This study attempts to measure Quality of Life (QOL) of Korean farm households and examine the impacts of explanatory variables on QOL across residential areas. The data from 760 farm housewives were analyzed using means, Pearson's correlation, regression, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple range tests. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : 1. The general level of QOL of farm households was low. More specifically, among the three subcategories of QOL, the non for satisfaction in community life (SCL) was the highest and the score for satisfaction in home life (SHL) was the lowest. The score for the level of living in home life (LLHL) and SCL were high in the urban area and the score for the SHL was low in the mountainous area. 2. The significantly influenced variables fur the three subcategories of QOL were different in each residential areas. But it was common that the LLHL in the four residential areas was significantly determined by monetary asset and home management ability and the SHL was significantly determined by monetary asset in the three residential areas except the mountainous area.

This study measured and analyzed the weather characteristics and the air-ion characteristics of walking space by land use type in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk Province during the heat wave. We used the land registration map to classify the type of land use in walking areas in the studied into the production and green area, the residential area, and the commercial area. We then selected 44 measurement points in about 4.1 km. They included 12 walking space points in the green area, 14 in the residential area, and 18 in the commercial area. Moreover, we calculated the ion index by analyzing the impact of weather factors such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, and net radiation in the walking space on the anion generation and cation generation by land use type during the heat wave. Comparison of air ion characteristics in walking space by type of land use during the heat wave showed that the average cation generation was in the order of commercial area ($700.73cations/cm^3$) > residential area ($600.76cations/cm^3$) > green area ($589.73cations/cm^3$). The average anion generation was in the order of green area ($663.95anions/cm^3$) > residential area ($628.48anions/cm^3$) > commercial area ($527.48anions/cm^3$). The average ion index was in the order of green area (1.13) > residential area (1.04) > commercial area (0.75). This study checked the weather characteristics, cation generation, and anion generation in walking space according to the land use type during the heat wave and checked the difference of ion indexes in the walking space according to the land use type. However, there were limitations in the lack of accurate comparison according to the land use due to the moving measurement and the insufficient quantitative comparison according to the change of road width. Therefore, we recommend further studies that consider the road characteristics.

The population is concentrated in the metropolitan areas in Korea, and low-density residential areas are transforming into high density residential areas through redevelopment to meet this demand. However, large-scale redevelopment in a short period of time has a negative impact on the urban climate, such as generating a heat island effect due to the reduction of urban green areas. In this study, the change in surface temperature from 2013 to 2022 in the redevelpment areas of Godeok-dong and Dunchon-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, was analyzed using Landsat 8 satellite images. In the Godeok-dong area, the difference in surface temperature was analyzed for the target redevelopment area, forest area, mixed forest and urban area, and low density residential area. In the Dunchon-dong area, the difference in surface temperature was analyzed for the target redevelopment area, forest area, and low density residential area. The difference in surface temperature was analyzed through multiple regression analysis conducted yearly over the three different stages in redevelopment period. The results from the multiple regression analysis show that in both areas, the land surface temperature of target redevelopment area was higher than that of the forest area and lower than low density residential area. It can be seen that these results occurred because the low-density residential area in Godeok-dong and Dunchon-dong had a lower green area ratio and a higher building-to-land ratio than the target redevelopment area. The results of this study suggest that even if low-density residential areas are transforming into high-density areas, adjusting the management of green areas and building-to-land ratio can contribute to lessen urban heat island effect.

A city is an ordinary space and a place of living that is directly related to our lives. An ordinary space is the total products of culture and the target of cultural representation. An aging residential area of a city reflects the ordinary lives of ordinary people along with its unique history; therefore, this place should not be seen only from an economic and political perspective. The Wausan area is a place that best maintains the characteristics and scenery of an aging urban residential area within Gwangju metropolitan city. Through research into this area, it is possible to discover the meaning and true value of an aging urban residential area such as the close relationship between ordinary culture and placeness, the creation factors and process of placeness of an aging urban residential area, and the authenticity of a particular place. This area is a modern residential area of today's ordinary people, created on a topography of hills and hilly areas along with a historical value of 400 years. It is based on the Gyeongyangyeok of the Joseon period. This place may be described as a space where the dailiness of ordinary people is alive based on its alleys and the unique scenery formed by its alleys and vegetable gardens. The authenticity deduced from such placeness is that an aging urban residential area is a place where communicative and considerate human life and a cultural diversity of an atypical nature are alive, a place where an environment and humans coexist in harmony, and a place where the communal dailiness of residents still exists.
