This study examined whether the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (FHAA) in the US provides more home accessibility features and reduces the home accessibility problems of senior residents with physical disability. The 2011 American Housing Survey data with a sample of 2,326 senior residents age 55 and over with physical disability and living in multifamily housing built between 1970 and 2011 were analyzed. We compared senior residents living in multifamily before (1970-1990) and after (1991-2011) the FHAA. The results show that senior residents living in multifamily housing before the FHAA were at a greater disadvantage because they were more likely to live in older buildings located in urban areas, yet paid lower rent and received government subsidies. This study confirmed that the FHAA enabled residents of multifamily housing to have more home accessibility features. However, there was no significant difference in perceived home accessibility problems between the two groups, indicating that senior residents in multifamily housing have experienced home accessibility problems both before and after the FHAA. This study has important implications for housing policy makers to consider home accessibility features for multifamily housing buildings before the FHAA, and to revisit if the FHAA sufficiently compensates physical disability of senior resident living in multifamily housing after the FHAA.

Home modification has come to be recognized as an important intervention strategy to manage health care conditions, maintain or improve functioning, ensure safety, and reduce the wheelchair user's dependency on others. However, the availability of skilled professionals with experience in home modifications for accessibility is limited. A system that enables accurate remote assessments would be an important tool to improve our ability to perform home assessments more easily and at decreased cost. A Remote Wheelchair Accessibility Assessment System (RWAAS) using Virtualized Reality(VR) technology was developed that enabled clinicians to assess the wheelchair accessibility of users' built environments from a remote location. Characteristics of the camera and 3D reconstruction program chosen for the system significantly affect its overall reliability. In this study, we performed two reliability analyses on the hardware and software components: 1) Verification that commercial software can construct sufficiently accurate 3D models by analyzing the accuracy of dimensional measurements in a virtualized environment; 2) comparison of dimensional measurements with four camera settings. Based on these two analyses, we were able to specify a consumer level digital camera and the Photomodeler Pro software for this system. And we then tested the feasibility of the selected software and hardware in an actual environment. Lastly, A field evaluation was performed to test whether this new system is comparable to the traditional method of accessibility assessment to evaluate its ability to assess the accessibility of a wheelchair user's typical built environment. The results of field trials showed high congruence between the assessments by two methods. Findings suggested that the RWAAS assessments have the potential to enable specialists to assess potential accessibility problems in built environments regardless of the location of the client, home, or specialist.

This study investigated whether housing accessibility plays a significant role in explaining the relation between mobility disability and residential satisfaction of seniors. Also, it identified people who are at greatest risk of mobility disability and living in homes without housing accessibility. We analyzed the 2011 American Housing Survey data with a sample of 20,089 households aged 55 and over living in single-family homes. Results show that although residential satisfaction decreased as mobility became more disabled, the key housing accessibility features were significant buffers against the negative impact of mobility disability on residential satisfaction. Seniors who were Black, low-income, housing-costs burden and renters in older housing in an urban area were more likely to have mobility limitations but fewer housing accessibility features. The moderating effect of housing accessibility on residential satisfaction was much greater for seniors with greater mobility disability. For vulnerable seniors living in an old single-family home, housing policymakers or local communities should consider home modification programs and services after evaluating housing accessibility.

The OECD surveys the questionnaire on the background of ICT every three years since 2003. In this study, we compare and analyze the changes in ICT accessibility and ICT usability of Korean students in 2015 and 2018 using the ICT background data of OECD PISA. ICT accessibility refers to the degree of access to ICT equipment at school or at home. There are 10 items of accessibility surveys at schools used by PISA, and 11 items at home. ICT usability refers to how much ICT equipment is used at or outside of school for learning or non-learning purposes. There are ten items for surveying usability at school, and twenty-four items for surveying usability outside of school. In the analysis of this study, the arithmetic mean of the items is used. As a result, Korean students' accessibility at school improved from 25.48% in 2015 to 40.40% in 2018, and from the lowest group in 2015 to below-average group in 2018. In terms of students' usability at school, we analyzed the percentage of students who use the ICT equipment 'almost every day' and the students who use it 'everyday'. Both 2015 and 2018 are among the lowest. Accessibility at home is higher in 2018 than in 2015, and belongs to the average group of OECD countries in 2018. ICT Usability for learning purposes outside of school is the lowest group in both 2015 and 2018. ICT Usability outside of school for non-learning purposes is in the average group of OECD countries. As a result of this study, we can see that Korea's digital literacy education is weak compared to other OECD countries. Prior to education about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, investment in digital literacy education is needed.

본 연구는 초등학생과 중학생들이 방과 후 사용하는 사이버가정학습의 '접근성'을 분석한 후 이를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 보편적 학습설계 (Universal Design for Learning)의 7가지 원리를 학습설계 가이드라인으로 제시하고자 한다. 디지털 교육용 콘텐츠의 접근성을 개선하기 위해서 접근성 평가 도구인 FAE(Firefox Accessibility Extension)를 활용해 학생들의 "접근 기회"를 분석하였다. K 사이버가정학습의 접근성 평가 결과 'HTML 표준', '스크립트의 사용'과 '대체 텍스트 제공' 항목에 대한 '경고'와 '탈락'이 많아 접근성이 부족한 것으로 분석되었고, 그에 대한 시사점으로 접근성 개선을 위한 UDL 원리를 교수설계에 적용할 것을 제안하였다. UDL의 보편성 확보는 다양한 학습자들의 "학습 기회"의 확대를 위해 배려하는 설계로서, 디지털 교육용 콘텐츠의 접근성과 보편성을 확보할 수 있을 것이며, 결과적으로 '모든'학생들이 동질의 학습경험을 할 수 있는 접근성과 보편성을 위한 가이드라인이 될 것이다.

The purpose of study is to develop a home nursing care project model suitable for Korea's heath care system and policy directions for expansion and establishment of home nursing care. Method: The first, status of home nursing care program in medical institution and public health center was evaluated respectively in view of structure, process and performance. And then, issues of the program were analyzed in view of accessibility, safety, and sufficient supply. The second, demand projection of home nursing care according to income level and technical level of service that is needed to the subject was tried. In addition, the level of supply for home nursing care at present was estimated. The third, home nursing care program in advanced countries (Japan and U.S.A.) was examined. Result and Conclusion: Community-based home nursing care program is developed into public-operation model and private-operation model from above the sub-subject result. Functional network for referral system among related institutions is built up to meet various needs, regardless of accessibility to distance and economy. And prior settlements and policy directions for expansion and establishment of home nursing care are suggested.

Recently, there has been an increasing need for long-term care and comprehensive health care services in community settings. The Ministry of Health and Welfare introduced the Hospital-Based Home Nursing Care Program in 2000. Before this initiative, there was a Home Nursing Demonstration Center, affiliated with the Seoul Nurse Association, had offered home nursing services with the financial support from the local government. since 1993, the Center's nursing staff has been engaged in a general hospital in an effort to provide home nursing care services within Korea's health care system. The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify characteristics of community-based home nursing care supplied by a community-based home nursing team engaged in a general hospital. Also. visit nursing care services provided by public health centers were evaluated in terms of accessibility and supply versus demand, to enhance the accessibility of low-income patients living in Seoul to home nursing care services. Data were collected from home nursing insurance reimbursement claims submitted by the community-based home nursing care team from March 1 to October 30 in 2001 and a questionnaire survey on home-visit nursing services of 25 public health centers in Seoul. The subjects consisted of 197 patients and 12 public health centers. The result were as follows. First, medical institution's community-based home nursing care program was better in technical quality than health-center-based home-visit nursing care. In addition. the pattern of the subject patients was similar to that of hospital-based home nursing care program. Second, there was a high demand for community-based home nursing care while only a small number of home-visiting nurses served at public health centers in Seoul. As a result, many patients could not receive adequate care. Finally, we suggest that community-based home nursing care program should be introduced in the national health system to meet the at-home care needs of severely ill low-income patients. Furthermore, to better utilize home nursing and visit-nursing care resources and offer continued care for patients in community settings, an efficient referral network should be built among related institutions. This would require improvement of reimbursement system and amendment of the law related to health insurance system and community-based home nursing care services.

The purpose of this study is to have detailed data of the distribution, locations, and the amount of people in the waiting line of the nursing home. Also, we studied the accessibility to the facilities by using Web GIS to analyze the transit time it takes from the nursing home to health center and hospitals. We can provide the basic data that could contribute when future plans for the nursing homes' locations, health and medical policy are made. The results are as follows. 1. The nursing homes are stiffly concentrated in regions of Seoul and Gyeongi-do where large number of the elderly covered by long-term care insurance and the waiting line was very long for the elderlies to enter the nursing homes. In these cities of Ulsan and Jeju where number of the elderly covered by long-term care insurance is relatively small, there were less facilities. 2. The nursing homes located in urban areas had higher occupancy rate and higher number of people in the waiting line. 3. The average time taken by driving from the nursing homes and health center was 10 minutes and there was not a noticeable difference between the cities. Driving from the nursing homes to hospitals in rural areas took 22 minutes which is 2.5 times of the time taken for urban areas. Daegu-si and Incheon-si had relatively short distance from the nursing homes and the hospitals while Jeju-do had the furthest. For rural areas, it is needed for health center to be equipped with a wider medical coverage, have closely connected with hospitals to minimize the differences they have from ones in rural areas. It is also needed to have ambulances equipped for tele-medical examination and treatment system.

본 연구에서는 자녀의 연령대에 따라 남녀간 그리고 여성 집단간에 차별화된 도시기회 접근성 경험이 어떻게 나타나는가를 살펴보았다. 미국 Portland Metro의 개인통행자료를 이용해 시간지리학적 분석틀에 기초한 GIS-기반 지오컴퓨테이션을 통해 시 공간적 접근성을 측정하고, 접근성의 시 공간적 특성을 중심으로 젠더화된 접근성 경험 양상을 분석하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성이 남성에 비해 시간제근무 비율이 훨씬 높아 시 공간 재량권이 많을 것으로 예상되지만, 실제로는 남성보다 접근성 수준이 높지 않았다. 이는 여성에게 또 다른 제약조건이 존재한다는 것을 의미하며, 젠더 불평등에 기인하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 둘째, 여성의 전근성 공간이 남성에 비해 훨씬 집에서 가까운 거리에서 주로 형성되는 패턴은, 모든 여성집단에서 보편적으로 나타나는 것이 아니라, 집약적 육아부담을 갖는 영 유아기 자녀를 둔 여성에게서 관찰되었다. 남성은 자녀 유무나 연령대에 상관없이 일정한 패턴을 유지하여 여성과 대조를 이루었다. 자녀가 없거나 초등학생 이상의 자녀를 둔 여성은 남성과 유사한 접근성의 시 공간 패턴을 보여, 시 공간적 구속성(spatial-temporal entrapment)으로 특징지을 수 있는 여성의 접근성 경험은 성별 즉 남녀(sex)의 문제라기보다는 젠더(gender) 즉 사회적 성 역할(gender roles)과 연관된 문제임을 알 수 있다 셋째, 직장과 자녀의 탁아/교육시설은 집과 더불어 접근성 공간을 결정짓는 중요한 공간적 축인데, 영 유아기 자녀를 둔 여성은 남성에 비해 훨씬 집에서 가까운 직장을 다니며 또 그보다 더 집에서 가까운 탁아시설을 주요 축으로 접근성 공간이 형성됨으로써 시 공간적 구속성이 극대화되어 나타나게 된다는 것을 알 수 있다.
