This study is aimed at describing circumstances and problems of residential bathrooms and in identifying the awareness and needs of adapting the UD concept for residential bathrooms. 570 persons with various physical conditions completed questionnaires that were used as data in this study. The results showed that the respondents' awareness of the UD was very low, but that their needs for adapting the UD concept was relatively high. Safety was the most important factor in adapting the UD, followed by convenience and accessibility.

The bathroom is a space where humans fulfil certain daily needs, but for the disabled, it can be the most difficult space to use and may even be a cause of accidents and a source of danger. Previous studies on the bathroom have mostly proposed an ideal model of bathroom, but the majority of disabled people live in small homes of about $50m^2$ in size. As their bathrooms are usually very small, and existing houses have various structural limitations, more research should be conducted on the remodeling of residential bathrooms. This study analyzed a number of remodeling items in bathrooms, all of which were listed in previous studies. Based on 17 cases of residential bathroom remodeling in the homes of disabled people residing in Incheon in 2009, this study analyzed several remodeling items required according to the subject's characteristics, such as a lifestyle, gender, and family composition; and proposed the following remodeling requirements and improvement measures for ambulatory-disabled persons and sedentary-disabled people. First, as ambulatory-disabled people have lower-limb impairments, they required bathroom remodeling designed to improve their mobility in the bathroom. These subjects desired the installation of grab bars, as well as the elimination of floor level differences, the installation of non-slip flooring, a counter-top, a sink stand, and a shower holder whose height can be adjusted. Second, sedentary-disabled people move around in a sitting or crawling position, so many of them asked to eliminate floor level differences and vertically-installed bathroom furnishings. Basically, both people with ambulatory disabilities and people with non-ambulatory impairments requested the elimination of floor level differences and the installation of non-slip flooring and grab bars for the toilet and bathtub. They also asked for the heights of sinks, faucets, mirrors, shower holders, and cabinets to be adjusted to suit their needs.

본 연구에서는 파이로시퀀싱 분석법을 이용하여 주거 환경 중 거실과 화장실의 세균 다양성을 분석하였다. 주거 환경 중 거실과 화장실에 존재하는 세균의 총 유전자량과 다양성 지수는 차이가 없었으나, 존재하는 세균의 종류에서는 차이가 나타났다. Phylum-level에서는 거실에서 나타나지 않은 Acidobacteria, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Fusobacteria, Nitrospirae 및 Planctomycetes문이 화장실 공기중에서 분석되어 상대적으로 넓은 영역의 세균 분포가 추정되었으며, class-level에서는 우점하는 Proteobacteria문 중 ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria와 ${\delta}$-Proteobacteria강이 거실에 비해 화장실에서 높은 비율로 분석되었다. 한편 genus-level에서는 거실이 화장실에 비해 상대적으로 다양한 속이 분석되었으나, 모두 Methylobacterium속이 우점하였으며 두 주거 환경에서 각각 특징적으로 분포하는 미생물이 존재하였다.
