As a result, the street image holds similar characteristics according to regional characteristics and the amenity and busy condition play a major role in having the effect. To know of the effect of street of a region that is known to cause the busy in a region, the discriminant analysis was made between the selected regions to analyze the difference. As a result, the difference of the width of street, ratio of widths of sidewalk and driveway, the ratio of height of a building and width of street, and the difference of tree-planting ratio were main factors which helped to feel more of the contrary of street in a region. Current research has helped to make more precise analysis and evaluation of all kinds of street images, and suggested different means of having more live image in a street region through physical factors.

This study examined the relationship between leisure needs and perception of psycho-social aging among 1307 older adults aged over 60 years utilizing social services of a social welfare center for senior citizens in Seoul, Korea. A convenience sample of this study was collected for three weeks in December 2012 among older adults via paper survey. Hierarchical multiple regression was utilized to analyze collected data. The present study demonstrated that age, years of education, perception of health status, and perception of economic status were significantly associated with perception of successful aging. However, years of education and perception of economic status were no longer significantly associated with perception of psycho-social aging, when leisure needs was included. Age, perception of health status, and hobbies/entertainment activities and employment/plan of later years activities among types of leisure needs were significantly associated with perception of psycho-social aging. This finding demonstrates that leisure needs influence perception of psycho-social aging. Implications and suggestions to improve perception of psycho-social aging among older adults are discussed.

With the shift of consumer’s spending behaviors further into emotionally-driven purchases, the role of brand is becoming even more important, which in turn, expands design’s role in the brand image strategy. The contact point between the consumers and the brand is the primary channel for building strong brand image through experience. Therefore, it is critical to comprehensively plan and manage the consumer contact point for any brand. Given the changing market conditions, the objective of this study is to define and structure an integrated design development and management system for building successful brand image. In order to do so, the research analyzed the characters of brand image, the conditions for consumer experience and the roles of emotion. The analysis into the correlation between images and emotion process model yields three natures of an image. The image 1) is based on empirical decisions, 2) expresses and conveys emotional aspects and 3) builds mental values through a sense of sympathy. Through case studies of successful designs that meet all three characteristics, the roles of a brand icon in building strong brand image and the needs for integrated design approach for implementation are defined. The methods for integrated design include 1) providing a focal point through brand image positioning, 2) utilizing visual themes based on brand image plot, 3) building a Total Identity Program to holistically manage brand images and 4) developing brand icons for brand image reinforcement.

본 논문은 사용자가 감각형 인터페이스를 사용하여 가상공간의 지능적인 화단을 체험, 체감 할 수 있는 시스템(Garden Alive)을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 카메라, 조도, 습도 센서를 갖춘 현실공간의 화단과 상호작용에 사용되는 감각형 인터페이스, 진화모듈과 감정모듈을 갖춘 인공지능 모듈, 그리고 가상식물의 성장과 반응을 보여주는 Virtual Garden으로 구성된다. 감각형 인터페이스는 카메라로 사용자의 손동작을 인식하고, 조도센서로 광량을 확인하여, 습도센서로 물의 양을 측정한다. 이러한 정보를 바탕으로 인공지능 모듈은 식물의 진화 방향과 감정상태의 변화를 결정한다. Virtual Garden은 L-system을 기반으로 제작되어 가상식물들은 실제 식물들과 유사한 형태로 성장하도록 한다. 제안된 Garden Alive에서 화단의 식물들은 각각의 개체마다. 유전자를 가지고 있어 식물의 다양성을 볼 수 있고, 빛과 수분 등의 환경요인에 따른 적합도를 평가함으로써 세대를 거듭함에 따라 진화해가는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 단순히 자극에 반응하는 식물이 아닌 사용자와 상호작용에 따른 식물의 감정 변화를 통해 적절한 반응을 보이는 지능적인 식물을 구현하였다. 따라서 제안된 시스템은 오락과 교육을 위한 콘텐츠, 사용자에 따른 개별적 반응을 통해 심리적인 안정을 제공할 수 있는 콘텐츠 등으로 응용될 수 있다.
