The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of family support and social support on the hopelessness of rural elderly people in an effort to provide some information on the improvement of elderly people's quality of life. The rural elderly people investigated didn't think that they were given lots of support from their families and society, and they didn't feel hopeless a lot, either. The hopelessness of the elderly people was under the negative influence of emotional support and instrumental support among the subfactors of family support, and that was affected in a negative way by affective support among the subfactors of social support. Therefore it could be said that the rural elderly people felt hopeless less when they were provided with more emotional support, more instrumental support and more affective support. Overall, social support had a negative impact on the hopelessness of the rural elderly people. The findings of the study suggest that in order to step up the improvement of rural elderly people's quality of life, a well-functioning model should be developed and applied in collaboration with local community, and the construction of a social support network is required as well.

본 연구는 충청남도를 대상으로 도시권과 농어촌권을 구분하고, 고령자 및 비고령자의 여가통행시간 영향요인의 이질성을 정량적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 분석자료는 2011년 가구통행실태조사를 활용하여 도심 및 농어촌권역의 통행자특성을 추출하고, 도심 및 농어촌권의 지역경제적특성 및 교통환경적특성을 활용하여 PLS(Partial least square) 회귀모형을 구축하였다. 분석결과, 도시권과 농어촌권 고령자의 여가통행시간에 영향을 미치는 주요변수는 버스배차간격, 버스노선수, 가구원수, 가구월평균수입으로 나타났다. 비고령자의 경우에는 고령자의 중요 영향변수 이외 지역경제(GRDP, 경제활동참가율)환경과 고용형태도 여가통행시간에 영향을 미치는 중요 변수로 나타났다. 한편, 농어촌권에 거주하는 여성고령자는 남성고령자 보다 여가통행시간에 더 민감하나 비고령자그룹은 남녀별로 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study was conducted to develop a theoretical model for the determinants of activities of daily living in Korean rural elderly people. The theoretical model was derived from Lawton's Ecological Model to explain human behavior. The model includes determinant variables for functional status such as age, sex, physical status, cognitive status, physical environment, social environment, and depression. Data for this study was collected from 189 elderly people in a rural district near Chonju City. The data was analyzed with SPSS PC/sup +/4.1 and LISREL 8. The analysis of the data showed that the first proposed theoretical model did not fit the collected data well. In order to increase the fit of the model to the data, the model was modified by deleting the exogenous variables of sex, physical environment, and social environment. The fit of the modified model to the data was increased and was move suitable. The results of this study show that the determinants of the activities of Korean rural elderly people were age, perceived physical condition, cognitive status, and depressional status. Age has a significant direct and indirect effect on the activities of daily living of rural elderly people. Perceived physical condition has a significant indirect effect through depression on activities of daily living. Cognitive status also has a significant indirect effect through depression on functional status. Depression has a significant direct effect on the functional status. Physical environment and social environment showed reversal relationships to functional status. In conclusion, the results of this study show that personal characteristic factors are more important than environmental characteristic factors for functional status of elderly people. However, the importance of depression to functional status in Korean rural elderly people and the reverse relationship between social environment and functional status, reflect Korean specificity. Korean nursing needs to focus more on this Korean specificity in order to develop nursing knowledge and practice appropriate to Korean people.

The objective of this paper is to propose rural housing planning guidelines by conducting a survey on the needs of the elderly people engaged in farming activities and looking into complaints about their houses targeting 120 people from 50s to 70s. The method employed was a survey with questionnaires. The survey results showed the needs of the elderly for the rural housing are different from those of general retired elderly people because they still engage in farming activities even if they grow old. The needs are as follows. First, the respondents show high preference for the foyer storage to store equipments and goods related to agriculture. Second, the respondents have needs for enough kitchen area accommodating their house work and rural life. Lastly, the respondents highly prefer well planned storehouses in the exterior. In addition, they also want the storehouses directly connected with the house because this plan can save their workforce. They recognize storehouses are the most poorly planned space in the rural house because of the unsatisfactory space area and interior space planning. These needs should be reflected on the planning of rural housing for the elderly engaged in farming activities.

As people get aged, we need to pay more attention to the elderly living condition with respect to welfare policy. The present study focuses on housing condition of elderly people living in rural area, and analyzes its determinants, periodical difference, and regional disparities, incorporating an index of minimum housing standard. This study applies multi-level logit model that has a strong statistical advantage that can take random aspects of household and regional context into account. We found that married couple household, presence of economically-active family members, higher education, specialized profession, migration and higher level of land price tend to lower the probability of residing in substandard housings. We also found that housing conditions for elderly people prove to be different by regions and it is particularly noticeable in mountainous rural areas in Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do with the poorest elderly housing conditions. Results also implies that housing welfare policies should be implemented differently considering the target groups based on regional differences. We conclude with some additional policy implications for the elderly living in rural areas.

본 연구에서는 농촌노인들의 일자리사업 참여실태와 만족도 및 요구도를 살펴봄으로써 농촌노인들의 삶의 질 향상에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농촌노인들은 노인일자리사업 중에 공익형에 가장 많이 참여하고 있었으며, 환경개선사업 활동을 가장 많이 하고 있었고, 생계비 마련을 위해 가장 많이 참여하였다. 둘째, 노인일자사업 중에는 소속기관 실무자와의 관계에 대한 만족도가 가장 높았고, 급여수준에 대한 만족도가 가장 낮았다. 셋째, 농촌노인들은 노인일자리사업 교육에 있어 가장 우선적으로 노인의 차이와 다양성을 고려한 맞춤형 교육 강화가 개선되어야 한다고 인식하였으며, 노인일자리사업에 참여하는 과정에서 교통문제로 인해 가장 많은 어려움을 느꼈다. 이런 결과를 볼 때, 농촌노인들의 특성과 욕구에 맞는 보다 다양한 형태의 프로그램 제공과 교통편의 제공을 통해 참된 자활이 이루어질 수 있도록 정책적 배려가 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.
