본 연구의 목적은 정보화에 있어서 취약계층인 노인 컨텐츠 개발을 위한 전략적 방안을 제시하는데 있다. 기존의 정보격차 해소 정책 및 연구는 주로 접근성과 정보화교육 등과 같은 기반구축에 초점을 맞추어 실제로 노인들이 이용할 컨텐츠는 충분하지 않다. 이에 노인관련 정보 및 민간의 대표사이트를 내용 분석하였으며, 다음으로 인터넷 정보검색 포털인 네이버의 이용자 로그를 연령별로 분석하여 노인들의 디렉토리별 이용실태를 살펴보았다. 이를 바탕으로 노인들에게 유용한 컨텐츠의 질적 개발을 위한 노인의 정보욕구 및 니즈를 파악하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs participatory intention of middle and old aged and to figure out the undertone of research results. To achieve this aims, we conducted a literature survey on Elderly Social Activity Programs and local informatization, and then designed a questionnaire including the demographic information and the five variables, i.e., satisfaction on local informatization, satisfaction on health condition, satisfaction on economic condition, satisfaction on human relationship, and participatory intention of Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs. The data were collected through online and offline survey targeted those aged over 50 and participated in information literacy program in Korea. A total of 333 valid data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS statistical packages. The results can be summarized as follows: satisfaction on local informatization and satisfaction on health condition have a statistically significant effect on Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs participatory intention. In the comparative analysis of two groups between economic active group and economic inactive group, only health has a statistically significant effect on their participatory intention in economic active group, not only health but also local informatization has a statistically significant effect on the their participatory intention in economic inactive group. Therefore, local informatization is an essential prerequisite and local informatization should be improved for the middle aged and elderlies who have willingness to participate in Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs.

The objective of this study was to derive the served distance of the senior-friendly park considering physical changes, which were estimated through a comparison experiment at an actual target site. The time to walk 500m was examined because 500m is considered the served distance of a neighborhood park and as a standard set by the city. The mean walking time of the control group (younger than 65 years) was 536 seconds, while that of the treatment group (older than 65 years) was 889 seconds, which was approximately 1.7 times longer than the control group. The results of this study also showed that the walking time of females was longer than that of males when they were older than 65 years old. The walking velocities of the control group and the treatment groups were also calculated using the mean walking time. The weight estimated by a proportional formula was 0.6. When it was applied to 500m, which is the served distance of a neighborhood park, the served distance of the senior-friendly park was estimated as 300m. Lastly, the green service excluded area was quantified by applying the 300m, the served distance of a senior-friendly park, to the Jung-gu, Daegu, which had the highest elderly population in the Daegu Metropolitan City. The results of this calculation showed that the area served by a city park was $2,425,747m^2$ and the area excluded from the city park service was $4,627,700m^2$ for senior citizens. The results also showed that, in terms of the distributive equity, the administrative districts received unequal am ounts of urban green area services.

본 연구는 실버제품 개발을 위한 노인들의 기초데이터를 제공하고자 정보화사회에서 필수적으로 이용되는 정보통신기기에 대한 노인들의 만족감을 설문지법으로 조사하였다. 60세이상의 노인남녀 100명을 대상으로 조사되었으며, 핸드폰과 컴퓨터 사용시 느끼는 불편함등을 조사하였다. 설문내용은 정보통신기기중 핸드폰과 컴퓨터에 대하여 문자크기 및 간격에 대한 만족감, 화면밝기, 버튼의 크기 및 간격, 조작방법에 대한 만족감, 기기 사용시 불편함등으로 구성되었다. 조사결과, 노년층은 정보통신기기를 사용하는데 있어, 조작방법의 어려움, 문자의 크기나 다이얼 버튼의 크기나 버튼위의 문자가 작은것에 대해 불편함을 호소하고 있어 만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to investigate unmet healthcare needs due to economic or non-economic difficulties among the elderly aged 65 or older. Using Korea Health Panel Survey (KHPS) data from 2018, the elderly are classified into one of four groups (health insurance subscribers, non-take-up, lower income relief, and medical aid recipients) based on their level of medical vulnerability. For hospital or dental care, the prevalence rates of unmet healthcare needs due to economic and non-economic difficulties are 12.6% and 10.6%, respectively. The prevalence rate of unmet healthcare needs due to economic difficulty in the medically vulnerable group was much higher than that of the non-vulnerable group-that is, health insurance subscribers. After controlling for other influential factors, medical vulnerability has a great impact on the prevalence rates of unmet healthcare needs due to economic difficulties. Compared to health insurance subscribers, the non-take-up, the lower relief, and the medical aid recipients are 1.4 times, 3.3 times, and 2.4 times more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to economic difficulty, respectively. The results of this study can provide important policy implications for securing essential healthcare resources for the elderly.

우리나라의 노년층에 대한 이해에 있어 가장 어려운 점은 성에 대한 인식의 부족에서 오는 경우가 많다. 실제 상당수의 노인이 노화로 인해 신체적으로 퇴화되더라도 성기능을 보전하고 싶어 하는 욕구나 이성교제에 대한 관심도 많은 편이다. 이제 노인의 성에 대한 인식을 새롭게 하고 건강하고 활기찬 생활이 되도록 노력하는 것이 필요하다.

This study was purposed to examine the effect of the parental care burden on the labor force participation of the middle aged and older women. For this, this study used 2,125 samples aged from 50 to 70 years old that were extracted from 1st and 2nd wave of the Korean Retirement and Income Study(KReIS). In order to examine the causal relationship between two variables, Generalized Estimating Equation(GEE) and Multi-nominal Regression analysis were performed. The results showed that there was a positive effect of the parental care burden on the labor force participation of the middle aged and older women. However, this effect was limited only to the employment to the unpaid family workers. In addition, the effect was varied according to the level of caring time to the old parents. Based on that, several policy and practical implications were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to explore factors influencing the poverty of the elderly in Korea. In spite the fact that poverty of the elderly is more serious than any other demographic group, this important issue is rarely studied. Using the 7-year accumulated data from the KLIPS(Korean Labor and Income Study), I combined the work history of the elders, their demographic characteristics and residence to estimate pooled data analysis of the elderly after reaching age 55 and who are also only living by themselves(only the elders). The results of this study are as followed: first of all, age, education, marital status, wealth, residence and work history are shown to be significant predictors for the poverty of elderly. Second, the results show that factors influencing the poverty is different depending on the elder's (demographic) characteristics. For example, age and marital status is a more important predictor in female than in male, and wealth and health status is a more important predictor in elders who do not have a spouse than in elders who do. Such results suggest that the policy of the poverty of the elderly which is only focused on elder's characteristic is limited. Therefore we can suggest that a policy which workable people can earn decent income and saving wealth for their elderly in job is needed. Especially, policies on the 'Working Poor' and reconstruct the current public pension system is very much needed.

${\bigcirc}$ SWOT 분석 내용을 토대로 신바이오틱스를 활용한 노년층 맞춤형 건강기능식품 시장 진입에 있어 고려 사항에 대하여 다음과 같이 제언함. ${\bigcirc}$ (노년층 맞춤형 건강기능식품에 대한 차별성 강조) 기존 시중에 판매되고 있는 건강기능식품의 경우 특정 연령층을 대상으로 한 제품이 아닌 전 연령층을 대상으로 한 기능성을 강조한 제품으로 각 업체별 시장 진입시 '노년층 맞춤형 건강기능식품'이라는 점을 부각, 차별성 확보 방안이 필요함. ${\bigcirc}$ (신바이오틱스의 기능성 홍보 방안 마련) 상기한 바와 같이 현재 홍삼 및 비타민 중심의 시장이 형성되어 있어 프로바이오틱스를 포함한 신바이오틱스에 대한 인지가 낮은 상황으로 이를 해소할 수 있도록 신바이오틱스 기능성을 강조한 홍보 방안 마련이 필요함. ${\bigcirc}$ (환자식 제품시장 진입 고려) 현재 국내 노년층 건강식품시장은 아직 규모 및 활성화가 미비한 도입기에 시장으로 판단되는 만큼, 노인 건강기능식품 시장에 우선 진입함으로써 가질수 있는 선발자 우위 확보 전략 또는 신비아오틱스 활용이 가능한 관련 시장 중 환자식(특수의료용도식품)제품 시장에 제품차별화를 통해 기존 시장에 진입하는 전략 등에 대한 고려가 필요.
