  • Proportion of senior population living alone in South Korea has exceeded over 20.2% in 2012, and it is anticipated that the proportion would increase every year. Poverty rate of seniors living alone in Korea is also anticipated to increase the highest rate (76.6%) among OECD countries. In particular, seniors lacking family support are having greater difficulty and isolated due to high housing costs and housing instability. Therefore, they need a new housing alternatives for considering their economical difficulty and lacking family and social support. This study attempted to examine possibility to develop a new housing alternatives for Korean seniors, especially living urban area. For this purpose, this study identified the attitudes and preference for a new house alternatives(Senior Shared House) by Korean seniors living alone. The key findings of this study were as follows: 1) Eighty-five percent of seniors participated in this study responded the senior shared house was needed. 2) It should be developed by utilizing or renovating and renting out existing housing in city areas. 3) Pre-residence checklist can be developed to connect and match prospect residents. 4) Professional workforce (e.g. housing welfare professional) is absolutely necessary to perform the role of coordinator understanding the various characteristics of the seniors, and their living requirements. Recommendations and directions for future development of senior shared house were suggested.

  • Elderly people living alone need smart care for independent living. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have allowed for easier interaction by a computer-controlled virtual human. This technology can realize services such as medicine intake guide for the elderly living alone. In this paper, we suggest an intelligent virtual human and present our virtual human toolkit for controlling virtual humans for a senior citizen living alone. To make the virtual human motion, we suggest our authoring toolkit to map gestures, emotions, voices of virtual humans. The toolkit configured to create virtual human interactions allows the response of a suitable virtual human with facial expressions, gestures, and voice.

  • The rate of the rural population over the age of 65 was increased from 14.7% in 2000 to 20.6% in 2010. The rate of elderly living alone in rural areas was increased from 9.2% to 13.3% for 10 years. Two million households over 40% of the elderly living alone nationwide are concentrated in rural areas. This paper investigates cases used as living space by interview and remodeling senior centers (village community center) for the elders living alone in rural areas. In Gimje two the nation's first senior centers were remodeled in 2006 (for both the village community center) and were begun to use these as group homes. Evaluation was a success. Since then, these were increased by approximately 20 centers per year by year and are currently 108 centers at the end of 2011. In Chungcheongnam-do, a pilot project has been begun for communal living by remodeling the senior center (for both the village community center) and elderly housing. Municipalities are similar in their business (is mostly). However, the interview results for each municipality are different. The success of the project depends on rules proposed by local governments and the development of programs with users to continuous financially support.

  • This paper conducted a feasibility study by applying an Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence-based management system for the elderly living alone in an aging society. The number of single-person families over the age of 50 is expected to increase, and problems such as health, safety, and loneliness may occur due to aging. Therefore, by establishing an IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, a stable service was developed through securing a rapid response system for the elderly living alone and automatically reporting 119. The participants of the demonstration test were subjects under the jurisdiction of the "Seongnam Senior Complex," and the data collection rate between the IoT sensor and the emergency safety gateway was high. During the demonstration period, as a result of evaluating the satisfaction of the IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, 90 points were achieved. We are currently in the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, the number of elderly living alone is continuously increasing, and the number of people who cannot benefit from care services will continue to occur. Also, even if the COVID-19 situation is over, the epidemic will happen again. So the care system is essential. The elderly care system developed in this way will provide safety management services based on artificial intelligence-based activity pattern analysis, improving the quality of in-house safety services.

  • Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the health status and social support among elderly living alone with restricted daily functions using the data of the "2014 the Korean Elderly Survey". Methods : Data on 2,407 elderly living alone were drawn and statistically examined using a t-test, an ANOVA, and a multiple regression analysis. Results : The study found that first, the elderly living alone with restricted daily functions comprised 22.1% of the total elderly living alone, and those who were older elderly, illiterate, with low-income, having poor nutrition management, and with a poor health status. Second, among the elderly living alone with restricted daily functions, there was a group with very little support from the family and only 14.0% were covered by long-term care insurance. Third, the life satisfaction of the elderly with restricted functions was lower than that of the non-restricted elderly, and was affected by income, health conditions, depression, access to senior welfare centers, and communication with others. Conclusions : The elderly living alone with restricted daily functions have serious health risks and social support, and hence they should be provided with more proactive support for life, health care and social care to live independently within their communities.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 독거노인의 안전의식과 주거환경의 연관성을 알아보고, 이들 간의 관계에서 독거노인의 사고 발생 빈도 및 유형을 통해 안전의식 증진을 위한 개선방안을 모색하고 도출하고자 함이다. 본 연구는 생활관리사 22분의 도움을 받아 성남시 수정구에 거주하는 노인 총 67명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 연구에 필요한 20개의 논문을 정독한 후, 자체 제작한 주거환경 체크리스트 도구, 안전의식 진단 도구를 사용하여 설문지를 작성하였다. 독거노인들의 주거환경에 따른 사고 경험을 분석한 결과, 사고유형과 사고장소에 대한 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 독거노인의 안전의식에 대한 설문에 의해 외출 시간과 안전의식이 상당한 연관성이 있다는 사실을 새롭게 알아내었고, 그 결과 상대적으로 집에 머무르는 시간이 긴 노인이 안전의식 수준이 높았다.

  • 본 연구는 도시지역 독거노인들의 주관적 건강상태, 자기효능감, 사회적 지지와 건강행위 정도를 알아보고, 건강행위에 영향을 주는 요인을 확인하기 위해 시행하였다. C 시의 도시지역에 거주하는 독거노인 203명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 주관적 건강상태는 평균 2.89점(5점)으로 중간수준 3점보다 낮았고, 자기효능감은 평균 2.64점(4점), 사회적 지지는 평균 3.87점(5점), 건강행위 정도는 평균 3.14점(4점)으로 중간수준보다 높게 나타났다. 대상자의 건강행위에 영향을 주는 요인으로 자기효능감, 사회적지지, 주관적 건강상태, 경제상태, 종교, 성별로 나타났다. 이들은 도시지역 독거노인의 건강행위를 설명하는데 43%의 설명력을 나타내었다. 이 결과는 도시지역 독거노인들의 건강증진프로그램을 개발하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 오늘 날 노인들은 60세 전후로 정년을 하고도 30~40년을 더 살아야 한다. 노인성 질환과 싸워나가야 하는 노인들의 삶의 질은 미래의 잠재적 노인인 우리 모두의 절실한 관심사가 아닐 수 없다.. 평균수명의 연장이 재앙이 아니라 축복이 되기 위해서는 노인문제에 대한 올바른 인식과 정부나 지자체의 노력이 지속적으로 이어져야 한다. 특히 고령 노인들 중 독거노인들이 증가하고 있다. 노인이 홀로 산다 해도 사회적으로 고립되지 않고 다양한 생활지원을 받으면서 생활해갈 수 있는 사회의 실현이 요구된다. 사회적 고립을 방지하는 활동을 포함하여 독거고령자의 생활지원을 할 경우에도 동거자가 있는 노인에 대한 경우와는 다른 어려움이 있다고 생각된다. 이 연구에서는 독거노인에 대한 지원정책의 현황을 검토하고 문제점을 파악하여 법제도적인 지원방안을 마련하고자 하였다.
