The purpose of this study is to compare care unit cost among large institutions, small group homes and independent living homes for disabled people. For this purpose, our study adopted cost-analysis method widely being used in the field of accounting. By the analysis on per-person and per-year unit care cost comparison, care cost of large institutions is estimated 15,000 - 20,000 thousands won, small group homes 10,000 - 11,000 thousands won and independent living homes 4,025 thousands won. By this study, discourse of 'larger size means economic efficiency' which is widely supported by politicians and bureaucrats has no grounds in the practice of Korean residential care services. This study is suggesting two folds. Firstly, small and community based homes should be preferred in the future provision policy of residential care homes for disabled people. Secondly, government grants for small community based homes should be increased to the level of amount provided on large institutions.

Second one was on January, 2009, with users in Cheonan and Asan, 200 was sampled in the same way with metropolis; 100 users of each city. The reliability of the questionnaire showed Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ value over .812. The results are as follows. First, there showed difference on physical security needs satisfaction of electronic security system users with the size of city. In other word, users in metropolis have higher environmental, psychological, and informational security needs satisfaction than users in provincial city. Second, there is also difference in life satisfaction. Namely, users in metropolis have higher security needs satisfaction than users in provincial city.

This study examined the effect of long-term care utilization on the health care utilization of Medicaid elderly. The subjects were 5,834 long-term care insurance with the level 1 Medicaid elders, who received either service or non-service. This study examined the impact of long-term care service on the probability of health care utilization and the costs of health care utilization. The total medical cost and inpatient day between 2009-2007 were significant factors affecting long-term care utilization (${\beta}=.29$, p< .001, ${\beta}=.33$, p< .001 ) and this variable explained 22.6% of the total medical cost and 22.4% of the inpatient day. The results showed that non-service in long-term care was associated with an increase in health care utilization. The current long-term care insurance system should place higher priority and more resource allocation on long-term care utilization to increase the efficiency of the insurance system.

종교 공간으로서의 교회 건축물은 각 지역 단체생활의 정신적, 물질적으로 다양한 활동을 공급하고 있는 장소이다. 그러나 오늘날 변화무쌍한 현대 사회의 도심 교회들은 그 참여수가 점차 줄고 있는 젊은 세대들에게 충분한 만족을 주고 있지 못한 실정이다. 대부분의 영국 도심 교회가 변화가 어려운 예배당 공간 하나로, 각기 다른 기능을 요구하는 이용자들에게 다기능 공간을 공급하고 있으며, 과거에 잠재적 기능을 고려하지 않고 디자인된 대부분의 한국 도심교회들도 비슷한 조건의 문제 발생으로, 현 이용자들에게 또 다른 요구사항들과 불편함을 주고 있다. 이것은 이용자가 공간을 사용함으로 즐거움과 감흥을 얻기가 어렵게 구성되어 있음을 보여주고 있다. 오늘날, 젊은이들의 생활 패턴이 바뀌어 가고 있음으로 그 실태는 더욱 심각하게 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 먼저 도심교회 공간의 전형적인 문제점과, 연령별 이용자 그룹의 우선권을 조사하고, 각기 다른 조건의 종교적 공간 사례 조사를 통해 이용자들 및 공간 디자인의 요구사항을 분석하고 있다. 이어서, 각 공간에 따른 문제 해결 방법을 성공적 공간디자인 사례자료를 토대로 정리한 후, 어떠한 종교적 공간에서도 적용 가능하도록 통합적으로 설정된 디자인목표를 바탕으로, 세가지 다른 방법의 계획서들을 제시하고 있다. 마지막으로, 이용자들의 응답을 통해 계획서를 평가하여, 그것에 근거한 결론적인 종합적 디자인 계획서를 제안하고 있다. 본 연구는 교회가 필요로 하는 기능에 따라 변화가 가능한 예배공간을 활용할 수 있는 디자인을 제시하는 데에 그 목적을 두고 있으며, 기존의 교회건물이 더욱 더 많이 사용자의 요구에 만족할 수 있도록 만들어질 수 있는가에 대한 방향이 제시되고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the commonly known profile of public library users was described, by reviewing the literature published in the United States before the 1990s, when information environment of the public has been drastically changed. The profile of users as the socio-economically advantaged, active participants, and communication elites, has little changed since Berelson's study in the 1940s. Continuing research on users, however, are still needed to better understand their needs and behavior, facing the change since the 1990s.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety needs and life satisfaction of users of security system. The contents of the questionnaire consisted of "safety need, use satisfaction, life satisfaction". As a result of the analysis, Chronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.897 for safety needs, 0.888 for use satisfaction, and 0.887 for life satisfaction. The items were found to have internal consistency. In the validation of discriminant validity, both AVE and CR values were found to be 0.6 or more than the reference value of 0.8. The intuitiveness of the variables used in this study was found to be largely secured. As the hypothesis test result, the standardization factor was calculated as 0.993 for 'safety needs ⇨ use satisfaction' and 0.453 for 'use satisfaction ⇨ life satisfaction', and both hypotheses were positive. As a result of the verification, it was analyzed that the higher the user's safety needs, the higher the use satisfaction, and the higher the use satisfaction, the higher the life satisfaction.

본 연구의 목적은 도서관 이용자들의 일상생활에서 공간들이 어떠한 관계성을 가지고 이용되는지를 분석하는 것이다. 관계성을 파악하기 위한 데이터로 미국 Puget Sound Region Transportation Department에서 수집한 Household Travel Survey 데이터를 이용하였다. 데이터 분석을 위한 도구로 소셜 네트워크 분석도구 중의 하나인 NodeXL을 사용하였다. 분석결과 선행연구에서와 유사하게 슈퍼마켓, 레스토랑, 쇼핑몰 등이 도서관 이용과 공간적으로 연관성이 있음이 나타났다. 또한 전체 이용자의 분석결과와 비교하여 도서관 이용자만이 가지고 사회적 공간이용의 특성을 발견되었고 도서관 정책개발에 이러한 특성이 반영될 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.
