  • "Environmentally Sound and Sustainable Development (ESSD)" is a key word in recent years. The construction industry, have put a great influence on ergonomic and sustainable environment. Recently, "green building certifications", such as Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and eco-friendly material regulation have been established. With this regard, new construction and aged-housing remodeling projects are required to meet these certification criteria. Multi-housing residents have great concern on eco-product, since many cases are reported that Sick Building Syndrome is caused by toxic substance from building materials. Aged-housing remodeling project is very unique in that building residents are selected prior to design phase. Therefore, the analysis of resident's need for building materials in aged-housing remodeling is relatively easy compared to new building construction. As such, it is very important to analyze their preferences for eco-friendly materials prior to project execution. The purpose of this study is to find the needs of residents and priority of their needs. Based on their needs and priority, this paper provides a new strategy in using environment-friendly materials and maximizing their satisfaction level when aged housing remodeling is constructed. In addition, this paper provide new criteria in selecting new developed environmental materials in remodeling projects for the purpose of improving the safety and health level in construction industry.

  • Korea has entered into an aged-society in 2018. If this trend continues to increase, it is expected that a super-aging society will take place by 2026. Therefore, Korea is placed in the situation of becoming the world's fastest aging nation as it becomes a super-aging society from an aged-society in twenty-six years. In order to provide an effective supply of nutrition for the socially weak, Japan developed a variety of foods with food texture improvements. Germany improved accessibility for meal service development. Senior-friendly food is a softened food or a highly concentrated drink, which is considered a texture-modified food, for the elderly with eating disorders to digest food more easily by making food particles smaller. Varying food processing techniques such as freeze-thawing enzyme impregnation, high-pressure processing, super-heated steam processing, 3D food print, and others used to produce texture-modified foods.

  • This study examines the trends of the domestic age-friendly industry, examines the ingredients notified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of aging cosmetics, and analyzes the research trends of raw materials other than the notices, and prepares data for the aged-friendly industry to quickly cope with changes in the cosmetics industry environment and aging people. I wanted to. In addition to the ingredients notified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, research trends on the development of ingredients for anti-aging cosmetics are examined, and the anti-aging effects of each ingredient are examined. Through this, 'aging' and 'cosmetics', 'Anti-Aging', 'Anti-Aging', etc. In order to lead the development of anti-aging cosmetics related to the aging industry, research activities on products that are effective in preventing aging by strengthening the skin in addition to the four ingredients notified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety are constantly being conducted. In the functional cosmetics field notified by the Minister of Food and Drug Safety, it is believed that various basic research activities should be conducted so that research on anti-aging can be scientifically supported rather than a single research.

  • This study is conducted to find ways to develop design and research activities on personal belongings for the aged generation and aims to promote the industry and improve welfare of the elderly population by enhancing their quality of lives. Researches on policy papers, journals and published books show high growth potentials for elderly related industries due to rapid aging, retirement of baby boomer population and quality-oriented life styles. Regulations and standard, however, are lacking and, with shortage of R & D investment, human resources have not been secured in this industry. This is a niche market that has definite consumers. Therefore, it has been confirmed that when design and research efforts are made in this field, it can contribute to the benefit of aged generation as well as the development of the national economy.

  • The purpose of this study is to elaborate the factors and strategies to revitalize the policies of elderly-friendly care industry. The analysis was carried out using the method called DEMATEL. The analytical method is based on the DEMATEL technique. The purpose of this study is to clarify the complexity and unclear relationship between activation factors and factors that constitute the elderly friendly-care industry through the prioritization of policy strengthening. As the result of analysis, it was analyzed that the most intensive activation intensity was the highest total strength of meal service(22.095). Followed by health promotion facilities(19.97) and health care(17.726). The lowest factor is sport(15.896). Therefore, in order to improve and promote these factors, continuous policy measures should be sought that are closely related to facility care services, home care services, and preventive support services.

  • The concern of senior-friendly foods has been increasing as the population of older in world grows at a rapid pace. This study was conducted to investigate general and nutrition characterization of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods (DC-SFF). The protein content of DC-SFF ranged from 1.1-14.6 g/100 g, which was 1.8-24.3% for male elderly people and 2.2-29.2% for female elderly people based on the daily recommended intake of protein. Total amino acid content of DC-SFF ranged from 1,038-14,539 mg/100 g. Salinity of DC-SFF ranged from not detected-1.9 g/100 g, which was 0.0-49.9% for elderly people based on the daily recommended intake of salinity. Mineral content of DC-SFF ranged from 11.0-414.4 mg/100 g calcium, 14.6-226.5 mg/100 g potassium, 1.9-30.4 mg/100 g magnesium and not detected-4.8 mg/100 g zinc. The fatty acid composition was mainly affected by main material and added oil.
