This study investigated residents' preferences for spatial features of sitting areas in assisted living facilities, and provides recommendations for planning sitting areas to support residents' spatial preferences and social interaction. The study participants were 69 residents of eight assisted living facilities (30+ resident capacity), located in south central Texas. A photographic comparison method was used, in which residents were shown 20 matched pairs of photos, with a single feature digitally modified in each pair, and asked to select which environmental representation they preferred. The hypothesized spatial characteristics were identified in practice based literature as those that may encourage usage of sitting areas: viewability, variety, homelikeness, and privacy. Most of the hypothesized features were preferred by participants, with the highest preference found for non-institutional furniture arrangements and naturalness, followed by increasing enclosure and variety of seating. Preference was less significant for domestic cues such as carpeted floors, divided light windows, and boundaries defined by different colored material or columns, possibly due to their physical impairments or preference for visual openness. Participants' level of mobility assistance was significantly related to their preference for some features, such as seating with people-watching capability, and carpeted floors. The findings have implications for facility architects and administrators engaged in resident-oriented spatial planning.

Fire is a disaster of uncertainty, but since it is an artificial disaster essentially, this study is to emphasize that prevention and suppression of fire should be done more efficiently to develop the national love and trust of fire fighting. And it examines small neighboring living facilities which can be the typical dead ground of fire fighting based on researcher's experiences, intuition and related materials. The main course of the study defines the concept of fire fighting administration, dead ground and small neighboring living facilities. compares and analyzes fire fighting at small neighboring living facilities and the whole fire fighting cases and divides the causes of dead ground of fire fighting into preventive administration and suppressive administration sides. Those causes were resulted from discrepancies of political and social structures, but some of them can be improved depending on firemen's efforts. In addition, the means available for preventing the dead ground of fire fighting based on analyzed causes are suggested. Institutional approaches should be consulted with related agencies and legalized, but most managerial approaches can be introduced easily. Other means are approached for PR.

The purpose of this study is to compare and seize the type of the path of flow for nurses and living assistant, of the path of flow for evacuation and walking practice by analysis plan for the care facilities in the out-of-home service. It supposed many problem for living in the care facilities for the aged get down activity, especially their relates with difficulty in walking. And services of nurses and living assistant get mixed properties by that problem for the aged with difficulty in walking. It classified into T type, L type, H type, ${\Box}$ type, - type all the path of flow for nurses and living assistant on the longest from nursing station to each bedroom, the path of flow for evacuation from each room to exit, the path of flow for walking practice on the corridor and lobby. The three path of flow are influenced by an inner court, especially passable court is the important primary factor in the communication between the aged, a course and time required of flow.

This research is about shared living facilities for the solitary elderly in Gyeonggi province (so called "Carnation House"), which was opened after 2013. These facilities aim to help solving the social problems of the growing number of the solitary elderly. The research was conducted from April 2014 to October 2014 by using observation, measurement, photography, and interview methods. This research reviewed floor plan, area, accessibility, visual openness, and furniture and equipments. The results are as follows: First, considering the need for rest area and the protection of privacy, livingroom should at least be equipped with a variable wall or have a separate room. Secondly, for the kitchen plan, considering the fact that large number of people move simultaneously, kitchen entrance should be widened or LDK type is preferable. Thirdly, the bathroom entrance should be widened to at least 800mm and should have barrier free design. Fourthly, porch entrance should be planned to secure enough space and shoe cabinets for multiple users. Fifthly, to allow the users to enjoy outside view, the windows of living spaces should be placed no higher than 800mm from the floor level. Finally, for the location of the facility, people prefer the location be at the center of the village or near home. In addition, location with easy accessibility for the elderly is advisable. Therefore, establishing local guidelines for shared living facilities for the solitary elderly is advisable. When establishing local guidelines, local characters, culture and usage patterns should be considered.

본 연구의 목적은 노인요양시설 거주 노인과 비거주 노인의 구강건강상태를 비교하는 것이었다. 연령, 성별, 기초생활수급상태가 동일한 469명을 매칭하여 구강건강상태를 비교분석하였다. 노인요양시설 거주 노인들은 시설 비거주 노인보다 치아우식 우병률(p=0.019), 우식영구치수(p=0.001), 상실영구치수(p=0.047)가 더 높았고 충전영구치수(p<0.001)는 더 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 시설 거주 노인들은 비거주 노인들보다 치아우식에 유병될 확률이 1.93배 더 높았고, 충전치아를 가지게 될 확률은 0.73배였다. 의치를 장착하게 될 확률은 상악이 0.15배, 하악이 0.13배였으며, 의치필요도는 상악이 5.61배, 하악이 5.65배였다. 의치 장착여부 및 필요도에 대한 보정된 오즈비는 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 노인요양시설 거주 노인의 구강건강증진을 위한 구강보건정책 수립을 위한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

코로나바이러스감염증-19(COVID-19) 발생이후 항만으로 입항하는 외국선박의 외국인 선원을 통해 지역감염이 확산되었다. 그러나 항만 인근에는 지역주민들의 반발로 임시생활시설 지정에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 항만에서 외국인 선원을 통한 코로나 바이러스 감염확산 방지를 위해 항만구역 내에 외국인 선원을 위한 전용 부유식 임시생활시설을 계획하는 것이 목적이다. 부유식 임시생활시설 계획의 구체적인 내용으로 입지선정, 시설규모계획, 유닛시설계획, 유닛시설 조합계획을 제시하였다. 향후 항만구역 내 부유식 임시생활시설은 제1급감염병 확산방지에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
