This study analyzes the effect of the level of satisfaction with the living environment of rural people on migration. The analysis data were used by the Rural Development Administration for the survey of welfare systems for farmers and fishermen in 2017, and samples of 3,776 were used for the analysis. The analysis variables were divided into a group of migrants, a group of permanent residents, and a group of decision-keeping, and the level of satisfaction with the living environment of each of the 10 rural areas was used as an independent variable. According to the analysis results, the basic living base and safety of rural residents were having a positive effect. The results show that the projects for developing rural areas, which increase the basic living base, are making substantial contributions to preventing the breakaway of the rural population. Safety has been neglected in the area of rural planning, but if the level of discontent is not enough, it has had the greatest impact on the livelihoods of rural residents. Welfare and cultural leisure set the main demand level for welfare and cultural leisure to the elderly and vulnerable classes, and interpret it as a result of weakened defense against stress from relocation of residence, difficulty of migration due to low income levels, and migration. Therefore, the paradoxical analysis results could be interpreted as showing that measures to increase the satisfaction of the people on welfare and cultural leisure should be taken.

노인들의 수명 연장에 따른 노인의 여가생활을 위하여 정부는 다양한 서비스 및 시설 확충에 대한 계획안을 마련하여 실행하고 있으나, 아직 노인들의 욕구를 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 이것은 단기간에 양적 증가에만 치중하고 있어 수요자인 노인들의 특성과 행태를 고려한 수준 높은 노인복지시설은 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구는 현재 노인복지회관이 실내환경에서 노인의 행태와 특성을 반영하여 디자인하고 있는가를 실내공간체크리스트를 통해 현황을 파악하고자 한다. 실내공간체크리스트를 위한 이론적 기초는 노인환경심리와 행태에 따른 관련 문헌과 디자인 측면에서의 유니버설디자인 자료를 분석하여 기초자료를 7가지 분석 기준안을 토대로 실내공간체크리스트를 제시하였다. 공간분류로는 공동공간과 개별서비스공간으로 분류하여 각 회관별로 실내공간체크리스트를 통하여 조사 분석하여, 광주광역시 각 노인복지회관 적용하여 노인의 행태 관련된 디자인 특성내용들을 추출하였다. 분석된 결과를 기반으로 하여 광주지역 뿐만 아니라 전국에서 노인복지회관 건립 시, 노인복지와 여가의 질을 향상 시켜줄 수 있는 실내공간을 조성하는데 있어 기초자료를 제공하고자한다.

본 연구는 지역사회에서 노인들을 위한 노인보호체계 구축의 실현가능성을 탐색하고, 연계모형과 실천전략을 모색하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 우리나라는 고령화가 진행되면서 노인들의 다양한 욕구(여가, 주거, 취업 등)가 증가됨으로 지역사회에서 노인들에게 알맞은 상담과 지원프로그램을 제공할 수 있도록 포괄적인 노인보호체계를 구축할 필요성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노인보호체계의 연계모형을 설정하고, 이를 실천하기 위한 2가지의 방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 지역사회의 노인보호체계를 조직의 형성에 초점두고 그 실천과정을 조직화단계, 실천활동단계, 확대조직화단계의 3단계로 구분하여 시행하는 것이 바람직 한 것으로 제시하였다. 둘째, 노인보호체계의 지역사회조직화 모형을 적용과 노인장기요양보험의 안정적 운영을 위해서는 케어매니저, 요양보호사 등과 같은 중심적 역할을 수행할 수 있는 장기요양 전문인력의 활용이 필요하다는 것이다. 그 외에 지역사회복지협의체와 민간네트워크로 사회복지협의회가 구성, 관련법조항의 신설, 케어매니저의 교육 등의 정립이 마련되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 기초적인 자료를 마련하고, 노인보호체계에 대한 다각적인 전략과 방안을 마련하고 단계적으로 발전전략을 구사하여 추진해 나가야 할 것이다.
