For this purpose, researchers and one assistant researcher visited house, senior citizen's center and health center, in order to have interviews with senior citizen above 65, who are currently working in the field. The summary of the research findings are as follows; First, the average size of the farm land which each senior citizen works on is $9,237.92m^2$ and they mostly work for economic reason. During farming season, they work on average 8.62 hour per day. As primary reasons for why farming work is difficult, "insufficient income" was picked. In fact, the average annual income senior citizens earn from farming is about 15.4 million won. 49.1% of sample senior citizens work both on watered farm and farm, and they are engaged in farming 48.82 years on average, showing that most of their lives have been spent on farming. In spite of these difficulties, most senior citizens showed high intention to continue farming work further. Second, senior citizens turn out to spend their leisure time mostly on public leisure activities such as watching TV, hearing radio and gatherings with families, relatives. However, individual activities such as meditation, yoga, drawing and calligraphy turn out to be low because they require foundations to enjoy. Third, senior citizen in rural areas were divided into four groups by farm work and leisure activity: group separated from work and leisure activity(27.09%), group centered to leisure activity(24.42%), group centered to work(23.75%), and group integrated work and leisure activity(23.75%). Fourth, the groups were different depending on demographic characteristics. Namely, male senior citizen, higher educational level, living in elderly couple households, and satisfied with their economic level belonged to the group integrated work and leisure activity. But senior citizen aged above 65 years old and working for their livelihood belonged to the group centered to work, and most of female and senior citizen aged above 80 years old belonged to the group separated from work and leisure activity. Finally, as the result of analysis of differences in life satisfaction according to farm work and leisure activity of senior citizen in rural areas, the group integrated work and leisure activity, and group centered to leisure activity were higher in life satisfaction than the group separated from work and leisure activity, and group centered to work.

우리나라는 지금 고령사회의 도전에 직면해 있다. 젊은 경제활동인구가 감소하고 노인인구가 크게 증가하는 고령사회에서는 전대미문의 노인문제가 제기된다. 노인 인구가 급작스럽고도 빨리 증가하는 사회는 고령화의 쇼크, 고령화 사회의 지진 등으로 불리는 미래사회의 위기를 경고하고 있다. 한국의 노인들은 여러 사회적인 요인으로 인해 제대로 교육을 받지 못한 집단으로 어느 구성원 보다 평생교육이 필요한 집단이며 노인들은 평생교육의 주요 대상자로 부각되고 있다. 현대사회는 문화수준의 향상과 함께 삶이 윤택해지고 삶에 대한 개인적인 욕구가 높아지면서 여가생활의 필연성이 강조되고 있고, 여가스포츠를 통해 단순히 스트레스만을 해소하기 보다는 그것을 통해 교육의 기회를 제공받고자 한다. 또한 노인 여가스포츠 활동은 21세기에 요구되는 노인상, 즉 주체적인 노인, 생산적인 노인, 봉사하는 노인, 정보화된 노인, 통합적인 노인으로 노인의 정체성을 확립하기 위한 중요한 수단이 되어야 하고 여가스포츠를 체계적으로 제공하는 전문 여가스포츠 프로그램이 평생 교육적 차원에서 이루어져야 할 것이다. 그러므로 노인의 평생 교육적 차원으로써 여가스포츠는 건강증진과 사회성 함양, 그리고 자아실현과 함께 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 큰 의미가 있다고 할 수 있으며, 21세기가 요구하는 자립적인 생활을 영위하며 남에게 의존하지 않고 당당하게 독립적으로 살아가는 디지털 시대의 성공적인 신(新)노인상을 정립 하는데 큰 의미가 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study aims to suggest an analysis model finding the relationship between building scale characteristics of Public-use facilities and infectious disease outbreaks around senior leisure welfare facilities and the features and their scopes where quarantine resources are to be concentrated. Methods: Reviewing previous studies found the user characteristics of senior leisure welfare facilities and scale characteristics of urban architectures. The data preprocessing was performed after collecting building data and infectious disease outbreak data in the analysis area. This study derived data for attributes of building size and frequency of infectious disease outbreaks in Public-use facilities around senior leisure welfare facilities. A computing algorithm was implemented to analyze the correlation between the building size characteristics and the infectious disease outbreak frequency as per the change of the spatial scope. Results: The results of this study are as follows: First, the suggested model was to analyze the correlation between the infection frequency and the number of senior leisure welfare facilities, the number of Public-use facilities, building area, total floor area, site area, height, building-to-land ratio, and floor area ratio varied as per the change of spatial scope. Second, correlation results varied between the infection frequency and the number of senior leisure welfare facilities, the number of Public-use facilities, building area, total floor area, site area, height, building-to-land ratio, and floor area ratio. Third, a negative correlation appeared in the analysis between the number of senior leisure welfare facilities and infection frequency. And positive correlations appeared noticeably in the study between the number of Public-use facilities, building area, total floor area, height, building-to-land ratio, and floor area ratio. Implications: This study can be used as primary data on the utilization of limited quarantine resources by analyzing the relationship between the Public-use facilities around the senior leisure welfare facilities and the spread of infectious diseases. In addition, it suggests that infectious disease prevention measures are necessary considering the spatial scope of the analysis area and the size of buildings.
