The purpose of this study is assess the perspectives of residents in apartment complexes regarding the 'Projects to Promote Community Activities' publicly implemented by the Seoul Metropolitan City since 2011 to derive necessary suggestions thereof. For this purpose, community leaders in the 7 apartment complexes selected as leading communities of 2015 were interviewed to determine the application process for participation in such projects and the issues associated with the operation of respective community activities. In addition, 159 residents living in these apartment complexes were surveyed to assess the respective community activities along with changes in the sense of community and community consciousness. The subjects selected for the survey conducted through prepared questionnaires rendered positive assessment(3.82~4.09) on the effects of participation in community activities and in such programs with a higher level of the sense of community. The leaders of community activities also provided positive assessments regarding the projects financially supported by the local government that consequently promoted community activities to the extent they desired. However, the community leaders experienced and appealed difficulties in preparing financial reports according to administrative requirements together with the timing of financial appropriation. They also reported difficulties in preparing a sufficient pool of instructors to cultivate the capabilities of professional community planners.

Purpose: This study aims to derive planning directions of community facilities integrating generations based on local communities to promote sustainable intergenerational exchange by analyzing the spatial configuration and programs of domestic and foreign generation-integrated community facilities based on local communities. Research design, data and methodology: Through theoretical consideration, the concept of intergenerational integration, types of intergenerational exchange, and spatial arrangement types were identified. Then, case study analysis of domestic and foreign community facilities with well-planned intergenerational exchange spaces and programs were conducted to identify intergenerational integration, and to derive community facility planning direction. Results: The results of this research are as follows. First, in terms of humanware, in order to revitalize continuous exchange between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations, a systematic support system is needed to build mutual trust through voluntary participation by each generation. Second, it is important to provide a variety of shared spaces while maintaining the uniqueness of each facility from a hardware perspective, and must be planned in such a way that selective interaction takes place with privacy and interaction in mind. Third, in terms of software, programs that meet the characteristics of each user must be provided. Conclusions: It is expected that the results of this research can be used as basic data for planning community facilities that integrate generations based on local communities, contributing to the search for sustainable ways to revitalize intergenerational exchange in the future.

Purpose: Obesity among children from low-income families is becoming a social problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an obesity prevention program that included physical activity, nutrition education, behavioral modification, and primary caregiver participation components among children from low-income families. Methods: The study analyzed a nonequivalent control group using a pretest-posttest design. A total of 77 children were recruited from six community childcare centers using purposive sampling. For the intervention group (n=40), the pretest was administered before the combined intervention program involving the participants' primary caregivers was conducted for 8 weeks. The posttest was conducted immediately after the program and again four weeks after the program. Results: Flexibility (F=4.64, p=.020), muscular endurance (F=11.22, p<.001), nutritional knowledge scores (F=4.79, p=.010), body image satisfaction scores (F=4.74, p=.012), and self-esteem scores (F=3.81, p=.029) showed significant differences and interactions between group and time for the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: Strategies to actively engage the primary caregivers of low-income families in children's obesity programs are needed. Obesity prevention programs for children based on the program in this study should be routinely developed, and continuing attention should be given to children from low-income families.

This study deals with the participatory design process of renovating a children's park. The process should proceed with two major elements. Firstly, the children's park should be designed from the perspective of children. Secondly, it should be designed in consideration of the context of the community. This study is divided into two parts. First is the review of theory concerning the meaning and roles of the children's park as a community space, the importance of children's participation in the design and the participatory method of the children. The second is the case study. The site for the case study is Ssial Park in Nowon-Gu, Seoul. The entire process of the case study is with community participation, from identifying the park's problems to the actual construction. At every step, through the participatory programs, the community participates in the decision making. In addition, mutual understanding among participants is pursued through diverse means of communication. The following results of the case study were found. Firstly, diverse participatory programs and the active trial to enable the community to communicate contribute to the sense of ownership and responsibility concerning the park Secondly, the community can negotiate the differences in opinions without needing the help of experts. Of course, there are limits in the case study, such as the fact that the community organization, which is the core of communication and maintenance concerning the park, is not organized through the process of a case study. Another is that more diverse methods, which inform all community members of the participatory process, should have been used.

Objectives: This study examined dental hygiene students' frequency of participation in community volunteer activities, job consciousness, depression, and self-esteem, and then identified the correlation among them. We also analyzed the moderating effect of depression and self-esteem on the correlation between participation in community volunteer activities and job consciousness. Methods: We surveyed 312 dental hygiene students attending four universities in South Chungcheong Province, Korea, from May 2 to June 15, 2016, through direct visits. They were given structured questionnaires containing four items on community volunteer activities, three on job consciousness, ten on self-esteem, and 13 on depression. To examine the moderating effect of depression and self-esteem, we performed analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling analysis (based on the path analysis model and by inserting interaction terms) using SPSS and AMOS. Results: We observed a negative correlation between self-esteem and depression (r=-0.062) but a positive correlation between self-esteem and job consciousness (r=0.125). Depression and job consciousness had a negative correlation (r=-0.176). Depression had a statistically significant impact on job consciousness (r=-0.519, p<0.01). The interaction term between depression and frequency of community volunteer activities also had a statistically significant influence on job consciousness (r=0.090, p<0.05). These findings indicate that depression moderates the correlation between frequency of community volunteer activities and job consciousness at a statistically significant level. Conclusions: More frequent participation in volunteer activities enhances dental hygiene students' self-esteem, reduces depression, and raises job consciousness. The positive impact of volunteering on self-esteem, depression, and job consciousness warrants encouraging students' participation in community volunteer activities, creating supportive structures, and developing various volunteer programs relevant to the students' area of study.

This study aims to determine the correlation between the apartment resident community and housing satisfaction and suggest which factors can contribute to improving the local community's housing environment and satisfaction by means of the local inhabitants and apartment residents participating in co-managing the community. The study results are as follows. Firstly, the apartment resident community had a positive effect on housing satisfaction but the effects were insignificant. This revealed that residents' interest in communicating with the resident community was low due to various organizations such as the women's association, election committee, and autonomous society being used as means to pursue personal gain rather than the development of the entire apartment. Secondly, the vitalization of the apartment resident community had a positive effect on housing satisfaction. The analysis results showed that the higher the level of unity and volunteering activities of residents, the more improved the resident vitalization programs are being managed, and the higher the level of resident participation, the higher the housing satisfaction. Lastly, this study suggests the supplementation and upgrading of apartment community facilities into complex community facilities as a means to unify the residents and vitalize the resident community. To vitalize the resident community and strengthen the community spirit, the residents will need to voluntarily create a community hub by forming community-tailored associations and programs through connections with local governments and businesses.

The purpose of this study was to examine the residents' opinions on the degree of importance, and satisfaction with, the managerial service of multi-family housing. Residents' participation in managerial activities was also examined, because residents' opinions should be taken into serious consideration in order to improve the efficiency of housing management. Research methods used in this study were survey, field study, and content analysis of professionals' opinions. Survey data of 520 residents who live in multi-family housing were analyzed by means, frequencies, correlation, chi-square tests, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc estimation (Scheffee test), and regression. The major findings of this study were as follows: First, many residents were dissatisfied with the quality of managerial service, but they thought that managerial services were very important. For example, they thought that safety inspection of the playground was very important, yet the current level of service was not satisfactory. Second, the characteristics of residents that determined the degree of residential satisfaction were income the location of the residence, and degree of participation in the community events. Third, the residents generally did not want to participate in the managerial services and community programs through such activities as participation in resident committee. In order to improve the housing management efficiency, residents' participation is critical. Some participants in this study pointed out that the details of management service and future plans need to be made public. New management models need to be developed to promote residents' participation and increase their satisfaction in the management.

본 연구는 과학이슈(유기동물, 미세먼지, 재활용)를 중심으로 학교와 지역사회를 연계하는 과학교육 프로그램(SSI-COMM) 운영을 담당한 교사, 외부 강사, 지역 전문가들의 SSI-COMM의 운영 경험을 통해 실천과 참여를 강조한 지역사회연계 프로그램의 교육적 함의를 탐색해보고자 하였다. 각각의 프로그램은 한 학기 동안 16차시로 운영이 되었으며 학생들의 과학이슈에 대한 흥미와 지역사회로의 참여를 향상시키기 위해서 학교와 학교 밖 활동으로 구성되었다. 본 연구를 위해 4명의 학교 교사, 4명의 외부 강사, 6명의 지역 전문가와 인터뷰를 진행하였으며, 수업 관찰 일지 등도 추가적으로 수집되었다. 연구 결과, SSI-COMM 운영에 참여한 운영자들은 프로그램 운영 과정에서 본 프로그램의 적용이 가져올 수 있는 교육적 함의에 대해 긍정적으로 인식했을 뿐만 아니라, 지역사회 속 과학이슈에 대해 스스로의 관심이 높아지고, 앞으로도 지속적으로 운영해보고자 하는 의지를 나타냈다. 교사의 경우에는 본 프로그램을 통해 현재 학교교육이 학생들의 잠재된 역량이 표출되기에 제한이 있음을 인지하였으며, 학생들이 직접 학교 밖 관련 기관을 직접 방문하고 지역 전문가와 만나 소통해보는 경험을 통해 학교 지식과 실천 사이의 간격을 줄일 수 있다는 가능성을 인지하였다. 학교 밖 교육을 담당했던 외부 강사는 자유로운 학교 밖 활동이 학교 수업에서 소외되었던 학생들에게 뿌듯함과 자신감 그리고 성취감을 경험할 수 있는 기회를 제공함을 확인하였다. 본 프로그램 운영에 참여한 지역 전문가들 역시 본인의 직업과 관련된 분야에서 논의되는 과학이슈에 대해 학생들과 소통하는 경험을 통해 지역사회에 대한 소속감과 교육 주체로서의 역할에 대해 고민해볼 수 있었다. SSI-COMM은 지역사회연계 프로그램 활성화를 위해서는 앞으로 지속적으로 학교와 지역사회 구성원들 간의 친밀한 네트워크 체계를 구축할 필요가 있음을 시사하였다.
