  • This study investigated the casual jacket design preferences of women aged 50s and 60s and suggested a prototype design for functional clothing. All age groups liked the casual jacket with a length between the waist and hip, a convertible collar, and a single-breasted design. Those in their 50s preferred fitted or semi-fitted casual jackets while those in their 60s preferred semi-fitted casual jackets. Although, there were significant differences between the preferred jacket designs and ready-made brand jacket designs, most brand jacket designs were casual, semi-fitted, middle-hip length, single-breasted, and with stand-rolled or convertible collars. The analysis of the sleeve styles in brand jackets showed that consumers needed designs that are more decorative. Fashion designers for senior citizens need to design elderly clothing that is comfortable, fashionable, functional, and considers a universal design for ease of clothing function. It will also make the senior citizen fashion market more appealing to consumers. To provide jacket designs for senior citizens, we suggested casual jacket designs for embedding a functional device as well as a new jacket design library for women in their 50s and 60s.

  • In many countries the demographics clearly informs us that an aging population represent a serious problem. To this extent senior citizens welfare does matter it has developed into a public debate and genuine concern. it seems that the social issues are focused on how the socity views the social welfare policies. In a modern welfare state where the emphasis lies in pursing a high standard of living and thereby high quality of life. This does not cover the very well the old people in society, but the government clearly carries an obligation to look after and care for the retired & old people in the society. This obligation the social and economic impact that an old person faces as he/she grows old. it is important ensure that their lives carries a meaning and that they as a group will not be estranged from the mainstream of society just because they are considered to be part of the aging population. The key issues that must be addressed are 1) The impact of reduced spending power from less income. a lower income stream; 2) increasing health problems and costs; 3) the natural degradation of ones physical & mental powers; 4) and thereby an isolation from the public in general. So clearly the social policy related to the old people in society should be developed with the consent of what they believe is important to them. To ensure their minimum income level that a beneficiary of an old person's pension will receive, the monthly pension should be reflected by the official price index and be adjusted accordingly. by making the job market open for the senior citizens, expending the mandatory retirement age, give companiesincentives to hire senior citizens, there maybe an opportunity to extend to the aging population the possibility to continue to participate in the society at large.

Food satisfaction factors influencing the satisfaction of silver town residents' included satisfaction and word of mouth. For this study, 210 silver town residents were surveyed; however, 16 of these resident did not complete the survey. Therefore, the results of 194 survey questionnaires were analyzed. All results were conducted using the frequency, factor analysis, and regression procedure of SPSS 12.0. The determinant factors of the silver town feeding service included food service, food feeding, emotional, physical, and sensory characteristics of the senior citizens. Among these, food service, food feeding, emotional, and sensory characteristics of the respondents had a significant effect on their level of satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction of the residents was affected by word of mouth.

  • 본 연구는 모바일 폰의 GUI 디자인의 구성요소를 색상, 텍스트, 레이아웃, 그래픽아이콘, 동영상으로 정하고, 이들 요소와 브랜드 선호도와의 관련성을 실버세대를 대상으로 고찰하는 데 목적이 있었다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 모형을 구축하고 가설을 설정한 후 다중회귀분석으로 검증하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 모바일 폰의 GUI 디자인 구성요소별로 통계적 유의성을 고찰한 결과 색상, 텍스트, 레이아웃, 그래픽 아이콘, 동영상 요소는 제시된 유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의하게 나타남에 따라 이들 요소는 모두 브랜드선호도에 영향을 미치고 있다고 판단된다. 둘째, 모바일 폰의 GUI 디자인 구성요소들이 브랜드 선호도에 미치는 상대적 영향력의 크기는 텍스트, 색상, 동영상, 그래픽아이콘, 레이아웃 순서로 나타났다. 따라서 실버세대의 경우 모바일 폰의 브랜드 선호도를 높이기 위해서는 '텍스트' 요소와 '색상' 요소를 다른 요소보다 우선적으로 고려해야 함을 알 수 있다. 아울러 '텍스트' 요소와 '색상' 요소의 영향력이 높을수록 브랜드의 선호도는 높아질 것으로 판단된다.

  • This research investigates the effect of leisure activities on lifestyle satisfaction of senior citizens. The target of this research is 202 people over 60 years of age who live in Seoul. Collected data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, average, T-test, one-way ANONA, and logistic regression analysis. SPSS and the Excel PC Program were used for the analysis. The following is the summary of the result of this research. First - in terms of participation in leisure activities: more active participation is observed with the elderly who have a spouse than with those who do not in every kind of leisure activity (except for the pastime activities). Second - all of the variables indicating the level of satisfaction from activities of the seniors who have a spouse are by far higher than those of the elderly who have no spouse. Third - the leisure activities and the satisfaction from the activities prove affective variables on whether they have a spouse or not. Notably, the religious leisure activities are enjoyed more by those senior citizens who are married. Comparatively, the unmarried senior citizens participate more actively in recreational and pastime leisure activities. This study suggests various practical means to promote leisure activities to the elderly and to raise the level of satisfaction received from those activities, as well as to help those who are concerned with understanding and improving lifestyle satisfaction of the elderly population. Nonetheless, this analysis is limited due to the restriction on the number of objects and samples studied. Therefore, studies to analyze leisure activities by regions in order to account for a more balanced set of systematical tools should follow.

  • 사회적으로 고령화 문제가 심화되면서, 독거노인 모니터링 시스템에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 모니터링 시스템은 영상, 센서, 계측값 등의 정보를 바탕으로 서버에서 연산을 수행하여, 사용자에게 모니터링 서비스를 제공한다. 서버를 이용하는 시스템의 구조상 데이터 유출의 위험이 존재하며, 데이터 보안을 고려한 설계가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 영상보안 구조 기반의 지능형 독거노인 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 Edge AI 모듈을 사용하여 카메라 모듈과 서버 간의 통신을 차단하는 구조를 통해 높은 보안성을 보장한다. Edge AI 모듈은 Verilog HDL로 설계되었으며, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)를 통해 기능을 구현하였다. 본 시스템을 검증하기 위해 5,144개의 프레임 데이터에 대해 실험하였으며, 사람의 움직임이 일정 시간 감지되지 않았을 때 위험 감지 신호가 올바르게 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
