  • A form of consumption has been changed to a form of pursuing rather qualitative sides than quantitative sides according to an improvement of the living level followed by an increase in national income and to an increase in women's advance to society in modern society. The above change had a lot of effects on children play space, a subsidiary means within commercial facilities. However, partial children play facilities have steady children injury cases by a lack of safety management facilities. Therefore, the study investigated indoor children play facilities installed in large-scale distribution stores as department stores and discount stores out of commercial facilities in Seoul. The study investigated actual conditions and collected picture data with a checklist drawn up on the basis of the safety management standard for three months from April, 2008 to June, 2008 by visiting five places under cooperation. The purpose of the study was to grasp actual conditions of safety management of play space within commercial facilities through the contents and picture data of the investigated checklist and to offer basic data in the side of safety management of commercial facilities and various indoor children play spaces by proposing security measures for the problems.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of online and offline blended education for hygiene and safety management of children's foodservice operations in Eunpyeong-gu. For the teachers of the children's foodservice operations, two online sessions and one offline session were conducted with different educational themes each time. In terms of satisfaction with the education, the online program 'Mission Possible' scored 4.8 points and the collective education of teachers and staff scored 4.6 points, indicating that the training composition and communication with the person in charge were high. In other field opinions, it was found that online and offline education according to the situation was very helpful in the overall management of the children's foodservice operations. With fewer face-to-face opportunities, there were difficulties in on-site support and management. To supplement this, various programs were applied to help children's foodservice operations provide healthy and safe meals and snacks.

  • The objective of the current study was to compare the execution of hygiene and safety management according to the characteristics of children's food service stations, with the ultimate objective of providing sanitary and safe food service to children. To this end, the study conducted surveys of 73 public and private pre-schools with fewer than 100 children in district A from July 30 to October 31 2015. The differences were evaluated by t-test and analysis of variance. The confidence and validity of the results were analyzed by six food ingredient and facilities management questions, three personal hygiene and facilities management questions, four environmental management questions, and five storage and treatment management questions; for a total of 18 questions. The cumulative distribution of the four factors was 61.569%, and the Cronbach's alpha was 0.821, which indicated that the results were reliable. The results revealed that public pre-schools (a) and home-based pre-schools (b) had different levels of food ingredient and facility management, but no differences in the number of cooks, number of children served, type of food distribution, and the existence of mass food service facilities. The results of the study may be used to develop hygiene and safety management manual and educational contents to promote the health of the children served.

  • As the number of kids cafes, one of the children's playgrounds, is increasing rapidly, safety accidents in the kids cafe are also increasing rapidly. The facility is also increasing as the need increases, but it is spreading without ensuring safety. In particular, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security for children's play facilities in the kids cafe, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for organic organizations are divided into different departments, so it is not easy for local governments to manage and supervise the actual business, and there are safety blind spots. Kids cafes have changed rapidly according to needs of children and guardians who are users, and there are many problems associated with them. Therefore, we identified problems that may arise due to insufficient safety management systems for kids cafes, investigated the safety management related to kids cafes in advanced countries, and compared and analysed them with domestic systems. As a result of the research, we proposed a safety management reinforcement system, and we hope to contribute to the reduction and prevention of kids café safety accidents.

  • The purpose of this study is to draw safe environmental project factors for enhancing the safety of children in peripheral space around children's park and suggest environmental project measures for peripheral spaces around children's parks, based on the survey of children's park users' consciousness on peripheral spaces. Physical space range for this study was limited to low-rise housing area wihtin the radius of 250m, as peripheral spaces around children's parks in which children's playgrounds were built. In addition, the target areas for examining users' consciousness on peripheral spaces around children's parks were selected according to following criteria. 1)areas with highter portion of children; 2) those with higher portion of single-family houses/multi-housing/tenement houses, which constitute low-rise housing areas; and 3) those with higher safety accident rate of children, which was measured based on criminal and traffic accidents. The finding are as follows: first, users' consciousness on safety accidents that are likely to occur in peripheral spaces around children's parks was examined to show that there is most prominent difference between satisfaction and necessity. This result suggests that users are clearly conscious of the necessity of environmental improvement rather than the satisfaction with the current peripheral environment around children's park.; second, for the difference between satisfaction with and necessity of environmental project factors for access/boundary spaces around children's pakrs, there is most significant difference between the satisfaction with and the necessity of establishment of facilities against illegal parking for clear visibility of community roads, for access spaces, and the separate establishment of bicycle racks around main entry into parks, for boundary spaces. Users' necessity of the establishment of them is judged to be derived from the fact that the safety of children and even adults is threatened, because bicycles invaded into the deep inside of children parks. This study analyzed a correlation between satisfaction and necessity through factor and IPA analysis, and should be initially considenred if the future environmental improvement project would be conducted to promote safe environment in peripheral spaces around children's parks in the future. It will be necessary to provide practical environmental project factors through a field investigation.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of food safety management support in the Center for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFSM) on foodservice facilities for children in Busan area. We assessed the status of hygiene and safety practices of institutional and non-institutional foodservice on a quarterly basis by using an inspection checklist for food hygiene and safety developed by dieticians from February to December in 2013. The subjects were 103 children's foodservices, including 37 institutional and 66 non-institutional foodservices. Inspection checklist consisted of nine categories with 39 checklists; general characteristics, personal hygiene, ingredient control, menu planning, cooking processing control, serving management, washing, disinfection and storage control, and environment and safety management. The average score of each field (pre-supporting/post-supporting) in institutional foodservice was 0.56/0.92 for personal hygiene, 0.55/0.87 for ingredient control, 0.76/0.97 for menu planning, 0.53/0.89 for processing control, 0.27/0.67 for serving management, 0.47/0.91 for washing, disinfection and storage control, and 0.61/0.91 for environment management and 0.64/0.94 for safety management. In non-institutional foodservice, the average score of each field (pre-supporting/post-supporting) was 0.49/0.80 for personal hygiene, 0.52/0.75 for ingredient control, 0.78/0.97 for menu planning, 0.42/0.76 for processing control, 0.32/0.61 for serving management, 0.57/0.88 for washing, disinfection and storage control, and 0.46/0.82 for environment management and 0.73/0.88 for safety management. The average scores of all categories (pre-supporting/post-supporting) were 0.57/0.91 in institutional foodservice and 0.53/0.82 in non-institutional foodservice. The effects of management support in CCFSM on institutional foodservice were higher than those of non-institutional foodservice. Based on these results, we found that management support in CCFSM on foodservice facilities for children had a significantly positive effect on status of hygiene and safety practice regardless of foodservice facility size.

  • The number of children wearing make-up is increasing. "Children's cosmetics" is not a legal term though it is commonly used. The purpose of this study is to analyze discussions on children's cosmetics based on news articles found on the internet. This study also identifies what products are being distributed as children's cosmetics. Keyword searches were conducted using internet portal sites. Information was extracted from news articles and Best Item 100 for children's cosmetics. The results of analyzing news articles and Best Item 100 lists are as follows : 1. There were two main discussion topics in news articles. The first topic was related to marketing(the branding and trends of children's cosmetics). The other topic was about government regulations(side effects, harmful ingredients, control, regulations, attention, proper product usage, product categorization, and the overall safety of children's cosmetics). By 2014, many articles had covered government control and regulation. However, since 2017, news articles have focused on the product categorization and the concern for overall safety has dramatically increased. 2. Three different product categories have appeared in the Best Item 100; they are cosmetics, toys, and other products. In market, consumers recognized children's cosmetics as cosmetics and also as toys. Between 2017 and 2018's Best Item, other products are dramatically down, color cosmetics and single cosmetics are on the rise, and the purchase of domestic products has increased.

  • Public rental housing in Korea has been initially provided for residential stability of low-income household focusing on solving quantitative insufficiency since 1980s. In the process of early stage of designing and planning public rental housing, qualitative aspects of considering children were not primary concern. This study aims to analyze the priority of environmental improvement of outdoor spaces for children's safety in public rental housing. First, literature review was performed in the reference of local residential safety guidelines, Universal Design, and CPTED guidelines. In each guidelines, common safety planning factors for children were extracted within different types of outdoor spaces. Second, based on literature analysis, residents evaluated importance and satisfaction level by different safety types, outdoor space type, and environmental planning factors. In results, residents evaluated high importance and showed low satisfaction for crime and traffic safety. Through IPA, facilities and parking space was evaluated where improvement is needed for the first priority, and planning factors were mostly concerned with surveillance and safety management system. Result shows general concern of public rental housing residents, about weak facility management and security system, and about socially isolated environment which heightened the fear of crime safety. Overall, poor maintenance of the complex environment and decrepit facilities are constantly raising risk of safety accidents especially for children. Considering residents' concern, environmental improvement should be considered in perspective of not only physical repair, but also facility management and security system.

  • Purpose: This article was to collect data on the safety of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in children with underlying medical conditions. Methods: We constructed a prospective cohort of children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years who had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Patients diagnosed with and treated for chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disease, or other chronic conditions at the Seoul National University Children's Hospital were recruited from June to December 2022. A mobile survey questionnaire was sent to their guardians. The presence of adverse events on the day (day 0), 3 weeks (day 21), and 6 months (day 180) after the 1st dose of COVID-19 vaccine was recorded by the guardians. Results: A total of 73 children participated. The median age was 14 years, and 64.4% of the patients were male. On the day of immunization, 65.8% of the patients reported at least one adverse event. Pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, arthralgia, and myalgia were the most common symptoms. The prevalence of adverse events decreased over time (65.8% on day 0, 27.4% between days 0 and 21, and 24.6% between days 21 and 180). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection after the 1st dose occurred in 17 patients (23.3%) and one of the patients (5.88%) was hospitalized due to infection. Conclusions: Adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination were generally mild in children and adolescents with underlying medical conditions. Our findings provide evidence for the safety of COVID-19 vaccination in the vulnerable pediatric population.
