  • Out-of-home mobility is necessary for accessing commodities, making use of neighborhood facilities, and participation in meaningful social, cultural, and physical activities. Mobility also promotes healthy aging as it relates to the basic human need of physical movement. Mobility is typically assessed either with standardized performance-based tests or with self-reports of perceived difficulty in carrying out specific mobility tasks. Mobility declines with increasing age, and the most complex and demanding tasks are affected first. Sometimes people cope with declining functional capacity by making changes in their way or frequency of doing these tasks, thus avoiding facing manifest difficulties. From the physiological point of view, walking is an integrated result of the functioning of the musculoskeletal, cardio-respiratory, sensory and neural systems. Studies have shown that interventions aiming to increase muscle strength will also improve mobility. Physical activity counseling, an educational intervention aiming to increase physical activity, may also prevent mobility decline among older people. Sensory deficits, such as poor vision and hearing may increase the risk of mobility decline. Consequently, rehabilitation of sensory functions may prevent falls and decline in mobility. To promote mobility, it is not enough to target only individuals because environmental barriers to mobility may also accelerate mobility decline among older people. Communities need to promote the accessibility of physical environments while also trying to minimize negative or stereotypic attitudes toward the physical activity of older people.

  • If the new town development project begins with inappropriate location then it will be difficult to recruit tenants and the proportion of the infrastructure cost could increase. It is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of the new town development projects to solve this problem. This study aims to identify the current status of the new town development projects and draw up evaluation criteria by examining advanced researches. To identify the importance of each village, we set up the weights through analytic hierarchy process. The evaluation criteria were classified into location conditions and economical efficiency. In the case of location conditions, it was classified into available size, geographical conditions, and accessibility. As a result of analyzing the questionnaire, it was subdivided into officially assessed land prices in case of economic efficiency. This study had some limitations, that is we focused on the location conditions and economic feasibility among other factors. Therefore further study should contain analysis more on socio-cultural aspects such as residents' cooperation or will for this project. By adding results later, we can make more reasonable decisions when we choose appropriate area.

  • Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky-gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land. Finally, the paper outlines key strategies that may help overcome the aforementioned issues, including the disjuncture associated with elevated spaces such that they may become a seamless extension of the urban spaces on ground.

  • In the digital era, large archives of information and Internet accessibility make information search, including image search, easier and affordable, even from remote locations. Information transmission and sharing can be performed instantly, at any moment. In the case of images, there are risks of transmitting and recklessly sharing intentionally modified images. Such modified images can also be transmitted and used as an additional source of information by followers. In this study, historical portraits of Yu Kil-Chun are shown, who was the first Korean student to study in both Japan and the United States. He was an intellectual, writer, politician, and independence activist of Korea's late Joseon Dynasty. Using image processing software, the portrait images were compared to investigate aging effects and artificial modifications. Statistics of red (R), green (G), blue (B), and L*, a*, and b* values of every pixel in the selected identical areas of the portraits were compared to identify possible causes of variations, including aging effects and artificial modifications. Sepia toning, used in black and white photographs until the 1930s, and modern digital sepia toning can be very confusing owing to their aging effects. The importance of preservation of physical copies and preservation of context (interconnections between data and between documents) is discussed from archiving and conservation science perspectives.

  • 이 연구는 뉴미디어를 통한 영상콘텐츠 이용이 증가하고 있는 상황 속에서도 어린이 이용자가 전통매체인 TV를 통해 방송프로그램을 소비하는 비중이 여전히 가장 높다는 점에 주목하였다. 방송은 방송법에 의거하여 상대적으로 소수이거나 이익추구의 실현에 불리한 집단이나 계층의 이익을 충실하게 반영하도록 노력해야 하며, 사회교육기능을 신장해야 한다는 책무를 지닌다. 이 연구는 TV수신료를 주요 재원으로 운영되는 공영방송 KBS가 어린이 시청자의 이익 추구와 가치 실현을 위해 어떠한 어린이 프로그램을 제공해야 하는지 실증적으로 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 어린이 자녀를 둔 부모가 추구하는 공영방송 어린이 프로그램의 특성으로 교육·규범 요인, 내용 다양성·어린이 흥미 요인, 문화적 다양성 요인, 프로그램 접근성 요인이 도출되었다. 이 연구는 국민이 원하는 어린이 프로그램을 공급하는 공영방송의 노력과 결실이 공영방송의 존립 당위성을 높이고 나아가 수신료 정상화를 실현시키는 핵심 기제로 작동할 수 있을 것으로 기대하였다.

  • E-learning is a planned effort towards providing interactive and experiential learning having flexibility in terms of time, place, pace, participation and accessibility. Globalization has set the stage for a social transformation of the world economy driven by technological innovation, emphasizing knowledge-based processes. While the tertiary education enrolments in wealthy nations have gone up incrementally, the same cannot be said to be right about developing economies. E-Learning can streamline enrolments to higher education, in developing nations by being a cost-effective and flexible alternative. The objective of this paper is to draw attention to the similarities in the national culture of these two countries and compare students' perception on e-learning in India and Sri Lanka along eight dimensions viz., viability, dependability, flexibility, inclusivity, power, pertinence, challenge and equitability. The results reveal that e-learning is equally popular among students from both countries, and they have a high perception score towards e-learning on each of the measured eight dimensions. Hence results are indicative of an opportunity of tapping the potential of e-learning in reaching out to a broader audience of underprivileged students and onboarding them into the knowledge economy.

  • 배리어프리(barrier-free) 영상은 시·청각 장애인이 비장애인에 근접한 수준으로 정보를 전달받고 영상에 몰입할 수 있도록 화면과 음향에 관한 구체적인 정보를 제공하여 영상 콘텐츠에 대한 접근성을 높인다. 이 연구는 배리어프리 영상을 시·청각 장애인의 '문화적 시민권'의 문제로서 주목한다. 2010년대 들어 시·청각 장애인의 영상 콘텐츠에 대한 접근성 향상을 위한 여러 제도적 노력이 이어지고 있지만, 시·청각 장애인이 모든 영상물을 비장애인과 동등하게 향유하는 것은 실현되지 못했다. 장애인 단체와 멀티플렉스의 갈등이 수년째 지속되는 가운데, 글로벌 동영상 스트리밍 서비스인 넷플릭스가 한국 서비스를 시작하면서 국내 멀티플렉스의 위세를 공격적으로 위협하고 있다. 더욱이 시·청각 장애인의 문화 향유의 권리를 보장하는 미국의 규제를 적용받는 넷플릭스가 한국 제작진이 참여한 오리지날 드라마와 영화를 제작하면서, 장애인의 문화적 시민권 담론은 지구화 시대 국경을 가로지르는 문화소비자로서 권리 행사의 문제로 이행하고 있다. 미디어 환경의 변화는 장애인이 비장애인과 동등하게 동시적으로 영화를 감상하고 공통의 담론 장에 참여해 영화에 대해 논평할 권리를 누리는 시민적 권리 보장의 문제를 제기한다. 오랫동안 한국영화로부터 소외되어온 청각 장애인의 '한국영화 관객이 될 권리' 역시 이제는 언어와 국가, 장애의 경계를 넘는 문화의 시민권이라는 차원에서 사유되어야 한다. 이 연구는 한국에서 시·청각 장애인의 문화 향유의 권리를 둘러싼 논의를 급격한 미디어 환경의 변화와 장애인의 문화적 시민권 운동의 전지구적 확산이라는 동시대의 흐름과 접속해 살펴보고, 영상 문화 연구에서 장애학적인 방향 전환이 필요한 시점이라고 제시한다.
