This study examines the main characteristics and differences on people's page in selected four national dailies, such as Chosun Ilbo, Joongang Ilbo, Seoul Shinmum and Hankyoreh Shinmun. Both Chosun Ilbo and Joongang Ilbo are categorized as the conservatives; while Seoul Shinmum and Hankyoreh Shinmun as the progressive. This study has been done by applying methods of content analysis to reveal the differences in terms of people's occupations, types of reports, their philosophies, and standards of selecting people by the dailies for the people's pages. The results shows that the conservative newspapers are very similar to the progressive newspapers in terms of occupations and the types of reports, covering the people on people's pages. More specifically, both the conservative dailies and the progressive dailies report the people for whose jobs are related to both social and cultural works. However, the conservative newspapers have much more coverages than the progressive papers in terms of the publicity reporting on the people. The conservatives are also much more reports on the people who are eager to economic success than the progressive dailies; while the progressives papers have much coverages on those who are interesting in helping others than the conservatives papers.

The purposes of the study were aimed to typology the abused old people according to abuse level, investigate the characteristics by categorization, and suggest policies to improve the abused old people's quality of life. Data were collected from 1,200 old people aged above 65 years old who lived in Kyungki province, Incheon-si, Chungnam province. Among 1,200 people, 212 abused old people were analysed for the study. First, as a result of categorizing old people according to abuse level, forcefully abused and damaged group, psychologically abused and damaged group, and lukewarmly abused and damaged group were categorized. The forcefully abused and damaged group was seriously suffered from verbal and emotional abuse and noninterference, including 14.6% of the subjects. The psychologically abused and damaged group appeared high in verbal and emotional abuse, and level of noninterference, and the highest in level of depression, including half of the subjects. Lastly, the lukewarmly abused and damaged group was lower in verbal and emotional abuse, economic abuse and level of noninterference than other two groups, but higher in physical abuse and abandonment than the psychologically abused and damaged group.

A camera is mounted vertically downwards viewing the people heads from the top. This configuration is successful in people counting technique especially when only a few isolated people pass through a counting region in a non-crowded situation. Thus, this paper describes object counting which detects and count moving people using mixture of gaussian and motion vector. This method is intended to estimates the number of people in outdoor environment. This method use single gaussian background modeling which is more robust an noise and has adaptiveness. The experimental results that is based on mixture of gaussian and motion vector is also helpful to design intelligent surveillance.

Monitoring and analyzing people in video images are important and attract attention from many researchers in computer vision field. In this paper, we propose a new technique by which people overlapped one another in an image can be extracted and counted. After extracting moving people from video images as foreground, their heads are searched by Hough Transform inside the foreground. Since heads are comparatively stable in spite of motion in video images, semicircles along the head tops can be important features to be found in an edge map. In our experiment, the technique successfully separated people who existed at the same vertical positions, which was Impossible by existing techniques. Meanwhile, it showed high dependency on edge information and false results were obtained when the rather were rather incomplete.

As number of old and handicapped passengers is increasing in an aging society, it is becoming more and more important to provide safe and convenient subway interior design and direction. In this research, we study basic indispensable conditions for subway chair and propose a chair design direction for old and handicapped people considering their use. In this study, we elicit the rational result based on analysis of Seoul subway design direction. This study should be expanded into universal design for not only old people but also pregnant people and children. The chair for old people is needed to have side partitions and a safety bar for safe walking and to be made of soft materials which has some cushion.
