The present study is following a series of research investigations on design resources coming from collected data referring to users' awareness and preferences. The aim of this research is to test the Healthcare Environmental Color Index as a basis for practitioners in the field of healthcare design. An array of color samples selected from previous research, have been presented to the respondents via an online survey, in order to identify the preferences of the two groups on the relation between environmental color and health. As a result of the first experiment and through the comparison of processed data, the maximum percentage of respondents from each group is validating the relation between environmental color and health. For the second experiment we intend to highlight the patterns of color preferences for each group, and thus to test the color samples healing function. The compared data also showed a higher awareness of Koreans than Romanians on the potential of color applied to healing environment. Last but not least in the third experiment we show the top five color samples preferred by each group. It is significant that the comparison of the results validated once more some of our previous findings related to the healthcare environment, such as: the general preference for the green hue (associated to fatigue relax according to color psychology) and the blue hue (sedation release effect) but also the yellow hue - associated to bright energy. Three out of the top five preferred color samples have been identical to both groups while the other two samples have shown characteristic variations. These results show that similarities are strong and can be used in a glocal design strategy as an accessible tool for any practitioner. Based on the Healthcare Environmental Color Index and users' preferences analysis, a new design culture for healthcare can be established and developed.

The use of colors plays an important role in the field of space design. The selection of proper colors influences on people who use space by making the most of the psychological and physical functions of colors. Especially, the medical space is relatively more important than other indoor spaces in the selection of colors. The medical space has to be something to do with diversity and functions, and at the same time with stability and quietude, as well as the space with general convenient facilities. Color is not only related to the expression but also to the distinction of things and the existence. It also functions as a visual language. Human beings depend heavily on the function of color as a visual language. According to previous studies, human beings depend on color by 80% of the whole range of eyesight. Thus, color is an important factor in recognizing things and space. For example, in hospital, it Is very important to apply proper colors to various medical treatment spaces for the sake of patients' rest and healing. Various colors which do not consider the function of patients' rest and healing may make the space confusing against the change of space and structure. It is also important to apply colors to the change of space and structure. Another key point that I would like to make is that color has visual, direct and physical influence on the human body. For example, the color red with long wavelength serves to regulate body temperature. Research on the color scheme for hospitals should consider both physical and psychological factors. That is why the research should be carried out in depth through continuous clinical demonstration. The present research aims to outline color planning.

This study explored Jeju natural resources with healing function and tried mixed dyeing of Ecklonia cava and onion shell to improve dyeing. The results showed that silk dyed with a mixture of Ecklonia cava powder and onion shells rather than Jeju's individually dyed silk had better color power to develop fashion products. In addition, all friction lightning bolts, dry cleaning and sweat mining levels were excellent as well as excellent UV protection rates. The three baenaet jeogori worn during a birth anniversary and four rest suits that infants and children can wear comfortably maintained the dyeing and functioning of Ecklonia cava and onion shell mixture that was proven through abnormal experiments. For the three baenaet jeogori and two rest suits, the company has developed a fashion product recognized for high value-added merchandise using a variegation dyeing method made in a handmade style for expressing a person's natural sensibility through dyeing fabrics. Based on the results of the above research, it is expected that various fashion product developments will be possible by dyeing a mixture of functional and colorful extracts of the drug and colorful dye.

Background and objective: This study was conducted to understand urban residents' perception of indoor plants in order to assist in the preparation of guidelines for growing plants indoors. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to urban residents currently growing plants or with experience of growing plants. The data of 247 respondents were subjected to analysis to assess their level of interest and ability with regard to growing plants, and their recognition of the selection and function of plants. Results: Respondents showed high interest in growing plants at a level of 6.77, but their ability was moderate. This suggests that information regarding plant maintenance should be provided to urban residents. They recognized the function of plants for improving the environment as important, and expected that indoor plants would improve their mood and visual experience. Satisfaction with growing plants was high from an emotional perspective. They recognized that the function of air purification function was important even if the actual performance or effect was not great. This indicates that the function of air purification should be emphasized more. As the result of the IPA, plants should be selected in consideration of morphological characteristics such as leaf, flower and fruit, and continuously managed to maintain their characteristics. Since the performance of pots was less satisfactory compared to their importance, they should be selected so that they harmonize better with plants and are of the appropriate size to fit the space. The type of plants is an important factor in plant selection in order to perform an environmental function, and the flower color and pot size are important in terms of aesthetics and healing. Conclusion: When horticulture information on indoor plants is provided to urban residents, first, it should be provided to satisfy the functions of the plants required by urban residents and in order to promote and maintain the proper growth of plants. Second, various contents that utilize components should be developed to achieve plant function so that resident can determine the function of plants and select the type, quantity, and shape of plants to achieve the desired function.

이 글은 한국영화 가운데 색채를 의도적이거나 관습적으로 활용한 사례들을 분석하였다. 장르영화 대부분이 관례적 활용 빈도가 높으며, 색채를 의도적으로 부각시킨 미학적 선택 또한 예술영화에 한정되지 않고 다양한 양식으로 나타난다. 영화색채의 시각적 인상만큼이나 그것의 분석과 해석은 주관적일 수 있다. 보기의 객관성을 위해 색채에 관한 오랜 문화적 관점을 채택하고, 유사성과 차이에 따라 발생하는 의미를 제시하고자 하였다. 영화색채 하양의 활용 양상의 분류는 보편적이고 일반적인 절대선, 특수한 사례로서의 강박과 치유, 성의 구분 없이 여성성의 특성을 보여주는 전형과 시각적 쾌락, 미학적 용어인 프레임의 경계를 넘어서는 유령적 사유라는 범주에서 접근하였다. 특정한 장르, 작가, 영화를 세밀하게 분석하는 미시적 방법보다는 하양을 시각장치로 활용하는 영화들의 유형별 특성을 분류해보고, 색채 활용의 미학적이고 문화적인 의미를 고찰하였다. 첫째, <악인전>(2019), <범죄와의 전쟁: 나쁜 놈들 전성시대>(2011), <불한당: 나쁜 놈들의 세상>(2016), <아수라>(2016), <나쁜 녀석들>(2019) 같은 영화들에서 하양이 절대선을 표현하는 시각의 전형으로 기능한다. 둘째, <기생충>(2019)의 공포와 불안, <곡성>(2016)의 악몽, <슈퍼맨이었던 사나이>(2008)의 과대망상, <기억의 밤>(2017)의 신경쇠약, <마더>(2009)의 광기, <윤희에게>(2019)의 강박, <밀양>(2007)의 히스테리 등이 가학과 피학을 시각적으로 강조하는 사례들이다. 셋째, <태극기 휘날리며>(2004), <포화 속으로>(2010), <마이웨이>(2011>, <고지전>(2011), <명량>(2014), <연평해전>(2015), <봉오동전투>(2019), <장사리: 잊혀진 영웅들>(2019) 등에서 여성 인물에 부여되는 하양이 전통적인 이미지를 고착시킨다. 넷째, 사회정치적 변화를 반영하는 <박하사탕>(2000), <변호인>(2013), <택시운전사>(2017), <1987>(2017) 등에서 하양이 역사의 순간을 기억하고 기록한다.
