Additionally evaluation of usage pattern and physical trace carried out four silver towns. As a result, first, the study showd that characteristics of outdoor space are related to safety, amenity, recognition and efficiency. Second, types of outdoor space in elderly related facilities are very limited in verity, just facilitating with rest space, sport space, and garden space.

국가 산업의 발달에 따라 노인, 장애인, 아동 등 노유자에 대한 중요성이 인식되고 있고, 노유자시설의 수도 증가하고 있다. 노유자시설에서 발생하는 화재는 막대한 인명피해를 야기한다. 이를 대응하기 위해서는 신속·정확한 경보와 피난경로의 확보가 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노유자시설 관련 법령과 통계자료를 검토하고, 노유자 등의 법적용어의 상이, 경보설비의 비화재보 문제, 방화구획기준의 사각지대, 피난경로 확보문제, 인명안전구조기구의 기준부재의 문제점을 확인하였다. 개선방안으로 노유자 등의 유사용어에 대한 법적정의 정리, 비화재보 점검체크리스트 제안, 방화구획 관련기준 제정, 피난용 승강기의 도입, 인명안전구조기구 기준 제정 및 대피자용 방염물품비치를 제안하였다.

Study methods consisted of literature examination, on-site assessment and investigation, observation and questionnaire survey. And via a questionnaire survey of facility workers at study subject facilities, the current status and facility workers' perception of wandering space and their job-satisfaction were examined. Collected data of 133 respondents were used for analysis. Data were processed with the SPSS 18.0 program, and such analytic techniques as frequency, percentage, mean, multiple response analysis, chi-square test and correlation analysis were carried out. The problems of physical environment of wandering space for the elderly with dementia: First, it is urgent to establish wandering space. Second, thoughtlessly installed chairs in the corridor impeded wandering behaviors. Third, the grips installed in the corridor space were irregular, thus causing inconvenience for wandering behaviors. Thus making residents' use of it difficult. In order to improve these problems, it is necessary to newly or additionally establish wandering space and modify the location of chairs or establish alcoves, thus reducing impedimentary elements for wandering behaviors.

The purpose of this study was to identify the conditions of neighborhood facilities for the elderly, paying special attention to the accelerated aging phenomenon in rural areas of Korea. We contrived a new index to measure spatial accessibility for people aged over 65 years, and we analyzed spatial accessibility by focusing on community facilities: public bath facilities, beauty shops, rural public facilities, markets, big stores, and large-scale retail shops. The most outstanding spatial accessibility among community facilities was found with the rural public facilities thanks to governmental installing adequate facilities in the past, followed by the beauty shops and the public bath facilities. In contrast, spatial accessibility of the markets was in the lowest. Spatial accessibility of community facilities for the elderly exhibited high variability among the rural areas. We confirmed significant inequality of spatial accessibility in all facilities we studied. The areas that had better spatial accessibility diverse combinations of the facilities. The areas that had worse spatial accessibility were, on the whole, consistent with traditional undeveloped regions. In the near future rational planning of facilities will be needed to supply adequate accessibility in targeted areas which currently had low accessibility. In order to improve the spatial accessibility of neighborhood facilities, the most essential factor is to take into account the geographical distribution patterns of rural settlements.

이 논문은 노인의료복지시설의 현황과 시설체계에 관한 논문으로 부산시를 대상으로 하였다. 현황 분석과 설문조사을 통해 그에 따른 문제점을 분석하고, 해결방안으로 새로운 유형의 시설체계를 제시하였다. 현재 노인의료복지시설들은 입소대상자들을 다양하게 수용하고 있지 못하며, 각각 독립적으로 운영되고 있어서 한 시설 안에서 전문적인 치료와 요양을 동시에 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 토대로 본 논문에서는 그 해결방안으로 좀 더 넓은 범위에 걸쳐서 한 장소에서 요양과 전문적인 치료가 가능한 'one-stop service system' 체계를 제언하였다. 설문조사 결과들을 종합하여, 구상한 5가지 유형의 시설체계는 다음과 같다. 1) 무료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원, 2) 유료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병, 3) 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 4) 실비전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 5) 노인전문병원 + 재가복지서비스. 노인관련시설은 더 이상 특수한 시설이 아니라, 누구든 언젠가는 이용 하게 될 시설이라는 점에 착안할 때, 그에 대한 대책 마련은 시급하다고 생각된다. 앞으로 노인의 질환의 종류 및 정도가 보다 중복, 중대화 될 것으로 보인다. 따라서 보다 다양하고 전문화된 시설이 요구될 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interior color characteristics of elderly housing facilities in U. S. A. For this purpose, a field survey was conducted between July 23 and July 31, 2003, visiting 10 elderly housing facilities in Contra Costa County, California. A three step analysis of the facilities involved. First, floor, walls, ceilings, base boards and doors in common spaces were examined for the color scheme using the "Pantone for Fashion and Home Color Guide" for each room. Measured Pantone numbers were converted to RGB color using "Chooser 3.0 of Pantone, Inc." Finally, the conversions were recorded as Munsell numbers. The results are as follows: First, the colors chosen for American elderly housing are high value and low chromatic colors. In many facilities, analogue colors such as BG, B, BP and Y, YR R, RP are used. Second, the colors of ceiling and wall are mainly very bright and low chromatic colors. The colors of floor are undertaking an Important role by generating major atmosphere in the America elderly housing. Third, the colors used for elderly housing are found inter-related. For example, the main color in the lobby is also used from corridor to stair and used again from lounge to dinning room as a secondary color. Fourth, it is found that accent colors are used at the beginning and end of stair and corridor outskirts in consideration of physical condition of elderly people. Fifth, there is no difference in color selection between elderly housing with low and high rental value. Preferably, more versatile colors are being chosen for elderly housing with the low rental value.he low rental value.
