With architectural technology, a building has been a far dense and close. So the thermal environment of the building has become pleasant, but the quality of indoor air has been degraded. Using synthetic products for construction materials and furniture indoors escalates the concentration of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) at indoor air, threatening the health of the residents. To reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds at indoor air, many methods are designed, and of late, concern has been increased about the effect of air purification using air purifying plants. Field measurements were performed using Aglaonema brevispathum, Pachira aquatica and Ficus benjamiana, which were verified as air-purifying plants by NASA. The effect of reducing the concentration of air contaminants by plant studied in a full scale mock-up model. The variations of concentration of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Formaldehyde were monitored. In most cases, the effect was excellent in Toluene and formaldehyde in summer.

The demographic profile of the households will shift towards the 'older elderly'. There are need upgrading existing housing and new housing in aspect of floor plan, accessories, facilities and so on. The government should prepare the policy and standards of housing design for the aged and disabled in order to improving the residents' housing conditions. The purpose of this study is to compare Korean to foreign guidelines related to residential design for the elderly and disabled and find out the characteristics of our standards. It was accomplished by literature research. The results were as follows. There is disagreements between domestic standards over the clear door opening, the clear hallways and handrails at entrance. And the foreign standards are based on their wheelchair size, ours are founded on it's size which specified only maximum overall dimensions. So ours are seem to be lack of accuracy. Our standard of stairs is in details in comparison with other space components. But ours don't go into details than foreign ones over length of hand-rails, riser etc. And for recommendations denoting minimum and maximum height of various component, it should be preceded the specific survey on limits of reaching ability for the elderly and disabled.

Now, the conservation policy of historic environments in Korea which started in early 1980's, is in a danger. In addition, because of economic crisis started last year, the concerns for historic environments are growing weaker. However, this situation can be a good opportunity to prepare for the coming conservation works, The purpose of this study is to find clues for conservation of historic environments by considering foreign precedents. For concrete results, this study selects historic rural settlements as a case and focuses on the relationship among related people in the light of the their rights. Based on the consideration of foreign precedents, three different characters in the conservation process could be identified compared with korean cases; 1) Except partial works of public sector, generally the conservation process is under the control of nonprofit groups and residents themselves, 2) Conservation methods include with the proper change process for the sustainable settlement, and avoid the unconditional past-oriented approach, 3) Conservation methods are composed of not only the preservation of external forms such as assets but also the continuous participation and management of the community. And the most important clue which has been extracted is that the diverse rights of related people in the historic rural settlements should be kept in balance thoroughly.

Globalization has diversified ethnic composition thus increased the risk of conflicts and socio-political instability in global cities. However, still the status of community facility in a global city is unclear despite its critical role to build sustainable community in global era. In Seoul, as a reaction of globalization, 19 community facilities known as the 'Seoul Global Center' have been established since 2007 by Seoul Metropolitan Government. These facilities have started to provide basic foreigner services but been transformed to foreigner service hub with multiple functions in terms of a living, a business, a labour, etc. This study explores the role of the community facility for foreigners by using the Seoul Global Center as a case study, conducting a site observation, an interview(13 staff) and a questionnaire(148 visitors). The findings are the community facility functions as a 'global platform' in forms of a policy tool for implementing the urban globalization strategy, a mediator connecting foreign migrants with local communities, an applicant for successful settlement of foreign residents, an incubator that grows human and social capital, and a base for collecting and aggregating information on foreign migrants and forming new local identities.

Recent research on stand-alone focused on the improvement and development of functions for solving problems such as the limited operating time of stand-alone installed at dwelling and their low reliability caused by false alarms, but it is more urgent to study on the operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents because the primary goal of fire safety is minimizing casualties. This study purposed to propose the optimized operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents. For this purpose, we made a mathematical approach to the change of temperature over the lapse of time in compartment fires similar to house fires, and established the standards of the body's response against heat and smoke based on literature review. In addition, we surveyed domestic and foreign technological standards for stand-alone sensor, and converted them to standards for residents of the body's response against heat and smoke using mathematical model equations and analyzed them comparatively.

그동안 대부분의 국가에서 합법적인 취업활동을 위한 입법정책을 추진해왔지만 불법체류를 완화하기 위한 노력에도 불구하고 거의 성공적인 사례는 없을 정도로 어느 국가든 불법체류근로자들에 대한 사회문제가 발생하고 있다. 중국의 경우에도 예외는 아니다. 현재 중국 국내 외국인 불법취업 문제도 현재와 미래의 사회문제화 될 전망이다. 하지만 이를 법적으로 대응하는 중국 출입국관리법과 불법취업자에 대한 입법정책이 매우 소홀한 편이다. 불법취업 외국인 권리에 관한 법률규범 등 조정하는 수단이 부족하고 구제방법도 충분하지 않다. 국제적인 규범기준에 걸 맞는 중국 내 불법취업 외국인 권리보호에 관한 법적권리를 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 관련법 규범을 제정하고 이를 토대로 사후 행정 관리를 강화해야 한다. 주요 국가들의 추세와 경향은 불법체류자의 고용을 고용주를 중심으로 엄격하게 규제하고 있듯이 중국에서도 외국인근로자 대상의 단속보다는 고용주에 대한 규제를 강화할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 불법외국인을 고용하는 고용주에게 과태료와 벌금, 징역형뿐만 아니라 각종 부담, 본국송환비용 지불 등 상당한 불이익을 받게 하여야 한다. 불법체류자의 자발적 귀환(Freiwillige $R\ddot{u}ckehr$)촉진프로그램 등을 운영하고 일정기일에 자진 귀국하는 불법체류자에게 범칙금을 면제하는 등의 조치를 취할 필요가 있다. 끝으로 중국에서도 불법체류 외국인정책의 방향이 불확실한 상태로 유지되어 고용주와 외국인근로자의 혼란 내지는 잘못된 선택을 방관하기 보다는 관련부처에서 적극적인 정책 방향성을 갖고 추진해나가야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 문화 간 커뮤니케이션(intercultural communication) 관점에서 국가명성과 문화, 그리고 커뮤니케이션 간 관련성을 연구하였다. 연구대상으로 한국 거주 서구인 18명을 심층적으로 인터뷰하였으며 한국에 대한 이미지, 국가명성 구성요인과 커뮤니케이션 경로, 한국에 대한 호의적/비호의적 태도와 이유 등을 질문했다. 심층인터뷰 분석결과, 문화동화와 문화 간 커뮤니케이션은 국가명성과 매우 밀접한 연관성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 한국에 대한 정보를 수집하기 시작하면서 자신의 문화적 정체성과 한국의 정체성 간의 갈등(conflict)이 발생하면서 분리유형과 통합유형, 동화유형으로 구분되는데, 문화동화유형별로 다른 정보를 수집하고 다른 커뮤니케이션 네트워크를 활용하면서 한국에 대한 대응전략과 태도를 달리하게 된다. 특히 동화유형은 '내집단 기대(in-group expectancy)'가 충족되면서 한국에 대한 로열티를 형성하게 된다. 이들의 커뮤니케이션 네트워크는 한국인 동료나 친구, 친지로 구성된 '내집단 공동체 네트워크(in-group community network)'이며, 보다 은밀하고 깊숙한 정보를 교환하게 된다. 특히 명성 차원에서는 한국에 대한 기대된 정체성(desired identity)과 전달된 정체성(communicated identity), 그리고 인지된 정체성(conceived identity) 모두가 일치하기 때문에 한국의 강점이 명성으로 구축되는 단계이기도 하다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the fitness of clothes by producing patterns considering body proportions at a time of producing clothes for export through extracting factors comprising body types and conducting comparative analysis of proportions by body part using body indexes of Korean women in their 20s living in both Korea and foreign countries. The study results are as follows. Factor analysis by group was conducted for body indexes in order to examine body types of Koreans living overseas. As a results, six factors were extracted from all of three groups; Joseonjok(Koreans living in China), Goryeoin(Koreans living in Russia) and Korean residents in Japan, and their explanatory powers were 60.42%, 63.62%, 63.15%, respectively. Obesity factor was extracted as the 1st factor, and the groups showed differences in other factors. As a result of proportion comparison using body indexes of Koreans living in foreign countries and Korea, it was found that, in height item, when regarding the height as 100, the length of the lower part of the body was long in the order of Goryeoin. Joseonjok, Koreans living in Korea and Korean residents in Japan. Also in width item, when regarding the waist as a standard, it was observed that Joseonjok people have the shoulders, the breasts and the hips that look relatively wider comparing with the width of the waists because they have very narrow waists and the width between shoulder length is big. In addition, the study examined proportions of the breast thickness/the breast width, the waist thickness/the waist width, the hip thickness/the hip width to height. From the analysis, it was found that breasts of Koreans living in Korea are flattest while their waists are slender, and Goryeoin and Joseonjok have round body shapes from the waist to the breast.
