This study aims to analyze the satisfaction of seniors living in Cheonan City downtown as to their residential environment. Also, this study intends to identify which factors should be improved first to make downtown a favorable residential area. To that end, 'social indicators of Chungnam' was used. The collected data was analyzed through a statistical analysis method using ANOVA (analysis of variance) and a cluster analysis. It led to the following findings. First, 6.9% of the elderly residents expressed their wish to move from their downtown residence. Thus, the majority of the residents do not want to move. Second, the satisfaction of the elderly residents in their downtown residence scored 6.09. The score is higher than those of other regions. Thus, it is highly possible to develop downtown into a senior-friendly area. Third, as for satisfaction in downtown residence, it was higher among the following groups: men; those with high school or higher level of education; those earning at least a million won a month; family of one generation. Fourth, satisfaction in the following factors was relatively low: culture and education; interaction with neighbors and trust in them; car accidents. Thus, those factors should be improved for downtown residents. Above all, community-faced facilities should be expanded to increase exchanges with neighbors and trust in them. To attract women dissatisfied with downtown residence. it is imperative to increase daily safety by reducing car accidents and crime.

주거환경의 변화는 주거공간을 구성하고 있는 제품을 더 이상 독립된 구조가 아닌 서로 네트워크로 연결된 하나의 제품 및 서비스로 인식될 필요성을 나타내고 있다. 따라서, 제품 및 서비스 컨셉 도출을 위한 사용자 조사 단계에서 사용자의 행위 관찰 시, 관찰의 범위가 기존의 개별 제품을 사용하는 환경 중심에서 전체 제품을 사용하는 환경으로 확장 될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 주거공간에서 제품 사용의 관찰범위를 개별제품사용환경과 전체제품사용환경으로 분류하여 각각의 관찰범위에서의 사용자 행위 분석 데이터가 어떠한 차이를 갖는지 관찰법(Ethnography)을 이용한 사례연구를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 주거환경을 구성하는 제품 및 서비스 개발 시 목적에 적합한 관찰범위를 선택하는데 있어 도움이 될 것이며, 기반이 되는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This research explores the household and housing characteristics of young renters aged between 19 and 34 living independently in rental housing of non-Seoul Metropolitan Area (non-SMA) and to determine the factors of their housing affordability and residential environment qualities in two districts of non-SMA - metropolises and non-metropolises. Using the 2020 Korean Housing Survey (KHS), this study identified 1,191 unmarried young renters, and most were single adults in mid-twenties who were salaried workers with a bachelor's degree or higher. Also, many lived in single-room occupancy of non-APT housing for less than 2 years and rarely relied on social services. The findings showed that the distinction of local housing market between metropolises and non-metropolises forced the former to spend more housing expense (tenancy deposit and rental fees) than the latter. With regard to housing affordability indices (Schwabe index, housing expense ratio and rent to income ratio), most were housing cost-burdened and nearly one quarter were severely rent-burdened. The regression analysis indicated that housing affordability in both districts was positively affected by income increase and social services, and housing satisfaction in non-metropolises was added to its determinants. Further, residential environment qualities were largely divided into two groups of livelihood and urban infrastructure, and the two factors influenced residential assessment in both districts. Since young renters interdependently living had suffered with housing affordability, both income growth and housing assistance are critically required to enable them not just to reduce the burden but to ensure livability.

With the increase of the elderly population, demand for improvement of quality of life and measurement of mental state has increased. However, much of the self-reported diagnosis does not reflect cognitive impairment. This study aims to measure the dwelling depression by applying K-HTP and verify the validity. 301 persons over 65 years old who live as single and couple households in Daejeon and surrounding districts were surveyed during 22 January to 2 February, 2018. The correlations between the dwelling depression and K-HTP are clarified and the validity was evaluated. The correlations between the geriatric dwelling depression index(GDDI) and the GDDI based on K-HTP(GDDI-K) are clarified and the accuracy was analyzed. The results showed that the K-HTP can be utilized to measure the dwelling depression. We suggested a new measurement tool and provide further benefits for researches on diagnoses using the projective method.

Apartment is the most favorite residential type which already occupies more than 50 percent of total number of housing unite in Korea. The interior space design shows various changes of trends within old and legal standard in terms of basic dimension. The most important function of housing means that Provides comfortable living spaces for a family and enjoying relaxation of stress form social activities. This residential space effects direct or indirect to each family members self-satisfaction and relationship. The basic factor for space design brings dimension which is enable space efficiency together with behavioral route, size of electronics and furnitures. Apartment dwelling type was introduced from out of countries. From the very beginning that inharmonious conflicts found and adjusted for several decades. But, the changes of body conditions of new generation has not considered as a dwelling space design yet.

As the living environment is regarded as a key factor that affects the quality of life of the elderly, the necessity for an accurate measurement of depression for the elderly has increased. In order to diagnose accurately, it is crucial to consider variables such as the cognitive characteristics and living conditions. In this study, 301 persons over 65 years old who live in single and couple elderly households over 65 years were surveyed from 1 January 2018 to 2 February to measure the dwelling depression by applying projective images. The correlations between the dwelling depression and projective images are clarified and the reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated. The correlations between the geriatric dwelling depression index(GDDI) and the GDDI based on projective images(GDDI-I) are clarified. The accuracy of the GDDI-I is analyzed. As a result the projective image questionnaire has a correlation with the existing self-report questionnaire. It is hoped that the results will provide a basis for further researches on psychological diagnoses using the projective method.
