Purpose: The aim of this study was to construct leisure physical activity model of middle-aged women in urban area. Methods: Data were gathered by self-report questionnaire from 211 women aged between 41 and 59 years in urban community. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 10.0 program and the model was constructed using the LISREL 8.54 program. Results: Variables that have direct effects on leisure physical activity were health state, past leisure physical activity, social support, self-efficacy, and affect. Perceived leisure state and behavioral leisure attitude also influenced leisure physical activity in an indirect way. Perceived leisure state had a direct effect on self-efficacy. Behavioral leisure attitude, past leisure physical activity, and experience of exercise effect had significantly direct effects on affect Conclusion: It will provide basic information for developing strategies of programs to enhance leisure physical activity of middle-aged women in urban area.

The purpose of this study is to analyze psychological and physiological effects accordance with viewing and walking in the forest and urban area. In the result of measurement of physiological reactions in nervous system, viewing of the forest had a calming effect on the nervous system by reducing blood pressure and heart rate. The other hand, viewing and walking in the urban area compared to the forest area raised stress by increasing blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, viewing in forest area was effective in stress relief by noticeable reduction of the amylase concentration. In contrast, walking in the urban area was also confirmed an increase of stress by increasing the concentration of the amylase. A viewing and walking in forest area was effective in alleviating depressed on anxiety, anger, fatigue and confusion.

This research is to examine the homogeneity in premarital resources that is exchanged in mate selection and its effect on marital satisfaction among the urban couples in the early period of marriage. Structured questionnaires from 310 urban couples who had been married less than three years were analyzed in this study. First the urban couples tended to seek homogamous selection in age educational level in socioeconomic status of the parents and themselves, Second those who had a spouse from his(her) own religious parental socioeconomic status showed higher level of marital satisfaction than those who had not. The rewards from personal traits such as physical attractiveness gender-role identity personality role-expectation value orientation and perceived reward found to have strong and positive associations with marital satisfaction. Parental approval and semi-arranged marriage were associated with marital satisfaction. Third perceived rewards from these resources and parental approval had significant effects on marital satisfaction; almost half of marital satisfaction was explained by these premarital factors.

도시열섬 현상은 도심지의 가장 큰 환경문제로 대두되고 있으며, 이는 온도상승, 대기오염, 에너지 수요에 영향을 준다. 이러한 열섬현상에 대하여 많은 건물과 복잡한 공간적/입체적 패턴을 가진 지역의 경우에는 3차원 분석이 전적으로 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 2차원자료와 3차원 공간자료를 이용하여 도시열섬 인자를 파악함에 있다. 또한 공간 통계기법을 이용하여 열섬인자들의 공간적 영향력을 추출한다. 따라서, 도시온도의 예측, 3차원 모델의 생성, 도시인자의 추출, 일반회귀모형과 공간회귀모형의 구축을 통하여 본 연구를 수행한다. 결과적으로 3차원 도시인자와 인접한 공간영향력들이 도시열섬 현상에 미치는 효과는 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 도시온도 저감을 위한 정책수립에 방향을 효과적으로 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

최근 높아진 삶의 질에 대한 사회적 인식으로 여가에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있다. 이에 따라 문화와 체육과 관련된 다양한 자원을 통해 해당 도시를 성장시키고자 하는 정책적 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 시점에서 지역 내 문화체육자원이 도시성장에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 이를 통한 정책적 방향을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 연구는 전국 228개 시군구를 대상으로 문화체육자원을 중심으로 사회 교통 공간성격의 범주에 포함되는 도시의 다양한 개별자원 지표를 이용해 지역의 인구, 산업, 재정측면의 성장에 있어서의 영향관계를 준로그 다중회귀분석을 사용해 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 문화체육자원을 포함한 다양한 지역 내 자원들은 해당 도시의 성장에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 인구성장 측면에서는 공공체육시설 및 프로스포츠시설의 확충을, 산업성장 측면에서는 프로스포츠시설의 유치를 통한 지역 내 소비증가를, 재정건전성 측면에서는 연관산업에 대한 파급효과가 큰 프로스포츠시설 유치를 적극적으로 고려할 필요가 있다는 결과를 도출하였다. 이러한 결론을 통해 본 연구는 생활체육을 바탕으로 한 삶의 질 환경 조성 및 산업기반으로서의 문화스포츠 기반조성은 도시성장에 있어 중요하며, 이러한 자원을 활용한 도시성장 정책은 차세대 전략으로 지방정부가 관심을 가질만한 충분한 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Urbanization has led to a reduction in green spaces and thus transformed the spatial pattern of urban land use. An increase in air temperature directly affects forest vegetation, phenology, and biodiversity in urban areas. In this paper, we analyze the changing land use patterns and urban heat distribution (UHD) in Seoul on the basis of a spatial assessment. It is necessary to monitor and assess the functions of green spaces in order to understand the changes in the green space. In addition, we estimated the influence of green space on urban temperature using Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) imagery and climatic data. Results of the assessment showed that UHD differences cause differences in temperature variation and the spatial extent of temperature reducing effects due to urban green space. The ratio of urban heat area to green space cooling area increases rapidly with increasing distance from a green space boundary. This shows that urban green space plays an important role for mitigating urban heating in central areas. This study demonstrated the importance of green space by characterizing the spatiotemporal variations in temperature associated with urban green spaces.

Land cover changes associated with urbanization have driven climate change and pollution, which alter properties of ecosystems at local, regional, and continental scales. Thus, the relationships among urban ecological variables such as community composition, structure, health, soil and functioning need to be better understood to restore and improve urban ecosystems. In this study, we discuss urban ecosystem management and research from a futuristic perspective based on analyses of vegetation structure, composition, and successional trends, as well as the chemical properties of soils and the distribution of heat along an urban-rural gradient. Urban thermo-profile analysis using satellite images showed an obvious mitigating effect of vegetation on the Seoul heat island. Community attributes of Quercus mongolica stands reflected the effects of urbanization, such as pronounced increases in disturbance-related and pollution-tolerant species, such as Styrax japonica and Sorbus alnifolia. Retrogressive successional trends were detected in urban sites relative to those in rural sites. Changes in the urban climate and biotic environment have the potential to significantly influence the practice and outcomes of ecological management, restoration and forecasting because of the associated changes in future bio-physical settings. Thus, for management (i.e., creation and restoration) of urban green spaces, forward-thinking perspectives supported by historical information are necessary.

Recently, summer high temperature events caused by climate change and urban heat island phenomenon have become a serious social problem around the world. Urban areas have low albedo and huge heat storage, resulting in higher temperatures and longer lasting characteristics. To effectively consider the urban heat island measures, it is important to quantitatively grasp the impact of urban high temperatures on the society. Until now, the study of urban heat island phenomenon had been carried out focusing only on the effects of urban high temperature on human health (such as heat stroke and sleep disturbance). In this study, we focus on the effect of urban heat island phenomenon on air pollution. In particular, the relationship between high temperature phenomena in urban areas during summer and the concentration of photochemical oxidant is investigated. High concentrations of ozone during summer are confirmed to coincide with a day when the causative substances (NO2,VOCs) are high in urban areas during the early morning hours. Further, it is noted that the night urban heat island intensity is large.. Finally, although the concentration of other air pollutants has been decreasing in the long term, the concentration of photochemical oxidant gradually increases in Daegu.

In the era of climate change, the feasibility of a 'multi-functional storage facility' was evaluated in terms of various key performance indices such as flooding prevention effects, urban pollution reduction effects, and rainwater harvesting effects. As a result, the Korea Ministry of Environment introduced a new concept of 'multi-functional storage facility' for sewer flooding prevention and urban non-point pollution reduction. Prior to introducing these infrastructure (a large underground storage facility), the more details were needed to be examined carefully in all of technical aspects of construction and management. It was also well known that the validity of installation of 'multi-functional storage facility' was sometimes weakened because of a low B/C ratio.
