The aim of this study is to evaluate interior environmental affordance for senior centers, to understand users' satisfaction with the facilities of senior centers, and to determine whether users have different levels of satisfaction with the facilities, according to their suitability to interior environmental affordance of facilities. This study will be used for planning the basic materials of the interior environmental design for senior center facilities and for developing ways to improve interior environments in order for them to be conveniently used. In studying a method, we conducted an observatory check to evaluate interior environment affordance, targeting five senior center facilities and their users located in G Metropolitan city. A questionnaire survey was then conducted to examine senior center users' satisfaction with facilities. This study investigated the suitability of center interior environments on the basis of the tools for interior environmental affordance. As a result of the study, users of the senior centers who are unsuitable to interior environmental affordance, have a tendency to be more dissatisfied with the facilities than the users of the senior centers who are suitable to interior environmental affordance

As the world becomes an aging society due to a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in life expectancy, a system for health management of the elderly population is needed. Among them, various studies on occupancy and activity types are being conducted for smart home care services for indoor health management. In this paper, we propose a random forest model that classifies activity type as well as occupancy status through indoor temperature and humidity, CO2, fine dust values and UWB radar positioning for smart home care service. The experiment measures indoor environment and occupant positioning data at 2-second intervals using three sensors that measure indoor temperature and humidity, CO2, and fine dust and two UWB radars. The measured data is divided into 80% training set data and 20% test set data after correcting outliers and missing values, and the random forest model is applied to evaluate the list of important variables, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.

This article analyzed the recent Korean accessibility standard supporting the people with disabilities. This is the basic study to make the interior environment more comprehensible and safer for the physically handicapped. Researcher selected the interior elements related to the mobility and accessibility for the physically handicapped. Then the '98 Korean accessibility standard code called 'Pyunui Chungjin Pup' were compared with the previous Korean building code and two other guidelines for evaluations. Result showed that 'Pyunui Chungjin Pup' addressed more obligatory items in facilities used by people with disabilities. That contributed to develope the accessible environments and to offer the independent activity in the society for the disabilities. However dimensions of 'Pyunui Chungjin Pup' showed the minimum standard. Also it did not provide the sufficient design considerations to make up the sufficient design considerations to make up the other types of disabilities including sensory limitations, or cognitive function limitations. Hereafter, the quality of accessibility guideline should be raised with further study.

측위 기술에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 측위 기술에 대한 정확도도 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 또한 해당 기술을 활용한 응용분야들이 다양한 형태로 활용되고 있으며, 향후 또 다른 새로운 분야로도 점점 더 확대될 예정이다. 실외 측위는 GPS, 이동통신망 등을 통해 널리 지원되고 있고 오차 범위도 많이 줄어들고 있지만 무선망을 통한 실내 측위에 대해서는 무선의 여러 가지 제한사항으로 인해 오차 범위가 실외 측위에 비해 크게 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 802.11 WLAN 환경에서 활용될 수 있는 RSS-Map을 활용한 실내 측위 기술에 대해 제안한다. 본 연구는 기존의 실내 측위 모델보다 정확성을 가지고 있으며 실험평가를 통해 이동성을 가진 스테이션의 위치를 정확하게 확인할 수 있음을 보인다.

This article analyzed the building regulations, the guidelines for the people with disabilities, and the interior environment of the transportation facilities of Stockholm and Oslo, which wee capital cities of leading countries in this field. Result showed that Swedish 'BBR 94' was made and based on accessibility, safety, and efficiency. But the mandatory items and detailed recommendations were minimal. 'The Swedish Handicap Institute' provided more detailed requirements. As a result of case studies of 4 facilities, it appeared that these facilities used sufficient dimension, variable color, different material, or adaptable lightings in order to provide easy accessibility, adaptability, safety, support, and mobility for the people with disabilities instead of keeping the building regulations and guidelines reluctantly.

The purpose of this study is to closely analyze the case of blended-learning in order to provide a diverse and flexible learning environment while maintaining the nature of face-to-face classes, and to identify the learning environment that supports blended-learning in each class step and the educational experience of students. The experience and satisfaction of blended learning were investigated in various ways: course evaluation, LMS activity evaluation, and questionnaire before and after the class. As a result, the blended-learning is better than the traditional face-to-face classes, in providing real-time feedback, opportunities for various interactions, and textual conversations, anytime and anywhere. In addition, as a result of the preliminary survey, as a measure to solve the opinion that concentration was reduced due to problems such as networks and felt uncomfortable in the communication part, the theory and lectures of the design practice class were conducted non-face-to-face. The individual Q&A and feedback were conducted face-to-face and non-face-to-face. As a result of the follow-up survey, it was found that concentration and efficiency could be improved. This opens up possibilities for active use of the online environment in design practice classes.

Since walking and physical activity are critical for older adults to maintain their health, it is important to provide neighborhood environments which encourage their walking in daily life. The purposes of the present study were to investigate walking activity patterns of older people in an urban setting and to identify environmental correlates with walking of older adults. This study examined spatial and temporal patterns of physical activities, environmental barriers and motivations, satisfaction levels and demands on the physical environment. In-depth interviews with older adults over age sixty residing in Seoul metropolitan areas revealed that most respondents have a positive perception on walking in daily life, and many of them walk regularly for their health. A primary purpose of walking for older adults was exercise for health rather than transportation. The study result demonstrated that parks and trails were the most preferred places for walking by older adults, and there is an association between frequency of walking participation and access or convenience to parks, traffic safety, and street lights. Most respondents were concerned about traffic safety when they walk in their neighborhoods due to traffic speeds and unsafe streets. Lack of separate sidewalks or benches, stairs and slopes were barriers to older adults' walking habits. This data suggests that the promotion of walking behavior among older adults, some level of public health action, and community support are needed to ensure safe physical environments within communities.

This research has been done to evaluate the interior environmental factors in Gyungro-dang to suggest the advanced recommendations for them. For this research, the essential interior elements influencing on elderly's behavior were examined with the developed checklist, the lighting and color conditions of main hall at 14 facilities in Seoul area were analysed, and 124 subjects staying at Gyungro-dang were participated in questionaire survey for color preferences. Results showed that 1.The average installation rate of 39 items in checklist was 59%, the mandatory items such as accessible dimension were considered, but several items related to mobility and safety were not properly installed. Therefore not only guiding handrail and floor block to destination but also elimination of obstacles should be reconsidered. 2.The average of illuminances was 289 Lux dose to standard 300 Lux, but lighting quality was too low to support the activities of elderly users. The lighting control devices, combined lighting sources, and suitable lighting techniques should be applied for those facilities. 3.Most facilities were predominantly in warm colors in hue, medium or high value, low saturation, and natural atmosphere with similarity harmony. The color applications in those facilities were not functional, but similar as color preferences for the elderly except overall atmosphere. It is recommendable to include contrast harmony with classic or romantic mood.
