Due to rapid decrease in population of farming and fishing villages and drain of young rural manpower to the cities, aging is being intensified, and the conditions of housing and welfare of elderly households are inadequate. Currently, group home is being discussed as part of specialized housing and welfare support policy for the people in the vulnerable class with poor self-supporting abilities such as the aged living alone in farming and fishing villages, and aged farming and fishing households. So the purpose of this research is to present the basic data for proposing the policy of supplying group home through examining the realities of housing and welfare of the people in the vulnerable class in farming and fishing villages. Survey was conducted on the 4 regions -Cheonan-si, Gongju-si, Yesan-gun, and Seosan-si - whose apartments were all occupied by the residents among the group homes for the elderly living alone in Chungcheongnam-do and the following results were derived from the analysis on the data collected from the survey. First, great effects can be attained at small costs by reorganizing and utilizing the public facilities that are unused or little used and the existing houses that are exposed to risks due to improper maintenance. Second, it can be pointed out that the residential environment of the vulnerable members of society was improved without impairing the existing village landscape. Third, housing welfare was enhanced without investing a large sum of money and the system to promptly cope with negligent accidents and emergency can be built and operated. Fourth, the cases promoted to solve the problems of the poor, unhygienic, and unsafe housing of the elderly and the vulnerable members of society were very positive and well worthy of being presented as planning direction of future group homes in farming and fishing villages. Finally, if they are operated entirely for free, it will cause the lack of the sense of ownership and the problems in securing the budget, so the ways of paying minimum individual housing expenses should be examined. The alternatives of housing welfare for the vulnerable members of farming and fishing villages are needed and the ways of constructive planning and researches should be continuously made. Also, the government's support policy should be actively promoted.

본 연구는 시간이 경과함에 따른 노인들의 복지서비스 이용경험의 변화를 살펴보고, Andersen과 Newman(1973)의 행동주의 모델을 적용하여 서비스 이용경험에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 밝힘과 동시에 지속적으로 영향을 미치는 요인을 밝히고자 시도되었다. 이를 위해 2003년부터 2007년까지 세 차례에 걸쳐 수집된 한림고령자패널자료 중 60세 이상 노인을 분석대상으로 경로우대서비스, 여가서비스, 재가복지서비스 이용경험과 Andersen과 Newman(1973)의 모델에서 제시된 선행요인(성, 연령, 교육수준), 가능성요인(거주지역, 배우자유무, 월 용돈, 서비스 인지수준), 욕구요인(일상생활동작수행능력)에 해당하는 문항들을 분석하였다. 연구문제를 해결하기 위해 자귀회귀모형과 회귀분석을 결합한 모형을 만들고 이를 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 시간이 흐름에 따라 노인들은 경로우대서비스를 점차 보편적으로 이용하게 되었지만 여가서비스와 재가복지서비스를 이용함에 있어서는 아직까지 제한적이었다. 둘째, 경로우대서비스와 여가서비스에 대한 이용경험은 다음의 서비스 이용경험에 정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 셋째, 서비스 이용경험에 영향을 미친 요인들이 조사시점마다 달라졌지만, 경로우대서비스 이용에는 선행요인인 연령과 가능성요인인 거주지역, 여가서비스 이용에는 가능성요인인 거주지역과 배우자유무, 그리고 재가복지서비스 이용에는 선행요인인 교육수준과 가능성요인인 서비스 인지수준이 5년 동안 지속적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 선행연구들에서 서비스 이용에 욕구요인이 중요한 요인으로 지목되어온 것과는 달리 본 연구에서는 가능성요인이 중요하게 부각되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 노인 개인이나 가족의 특성보다는 서비스를 공급하는 지역의 복지환경이 노인의 서비스 이용에 더 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 따라서 노인의 노인복지서비스 이용을 확대하기 위해서는 경로우대서비스와 여가서비스에 대한 복지자원과 재정에 있어서의 지역 간 격차를 줄이고 재가복지서비스에 대한 홍보를 체계화하는 노력이 요구되었다.

The elderly population will increase from 5.8% in 1996 to 12.5% in 2020. The related problems of health will also become a very important issue in the future. Therefore it is important to address the problems of geriatric nursing and geriatric health. 87.6% of the aged were ill with chronic degenerative diseases in 1994. In 1995, hospital admission rates (86.8) for those aged 60 or older were higher than that (56.3) of the total age group. Such high medical utilization will increase national health costs. For the development of geriatric nursing, active nursing intervention in various settings combined with education and research should be developed. Considering the health and welfare of the aged and the present status and views in Korea, I suggest the following: First, the health needs of the elderly in the institution, must be met by a plan that fosters geriatric nurses and programmed service development. Second, health service for the residential elderly must be provided in day care centers, short stays, nursing homes and geriatric hospitals. Geriatric nursing services should be provided in home residential areas, public health centers, public health subcenters as well as having, community health practitioners in primary health care posts and home health nurses. Third, geriatric nursing curriculum must be developed adjust to situations and culture of Korea and be included in the nursing curriculum. And gerontological nurse practitioner or geriatric specialist must be fosteraged to provide the professional care for the aged. Geriatric nursing research should be also achived for geriatric nursing improvements.

여행시장에 있어 인구의 고령화는 새로운 표적시장의 증가라는 점에서 의미가 있고 국가정책 측면에서는 복지관광수요의 증가라는 의미를 갖는다. 날로 첨예화되는 시장경쟁과 새로운 시장 창출이라는 당면과제를 안고 있는 여행업계의 입장에서는 새로운 수익창출 대안으로서 노인관광시장을 주목할 필요가 있다. 한편, 향후 우리사회에 심각한 문제가 될 수 있는 노인문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 복지관광 측면에서 노인관광에 접근할 수 있는데, 이는 여러 가지 노인 여가활동 중 관광이 노인들의 생활만족도에 미치는 영향이 타 여가활동보다 상대적으로 높다는 점에 착안한다. 본 연구에서는 청주지역 노인들을 대상으로 인구통계적 특성 및 여행활동 특성이 생활만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 생활수준, 건강상태, 용돈수준이 높은 노인 집단일수록 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나 여행형태에 따른 생활만족의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 본 논문에서는 실무적 시사점과 정책과제에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.

The aging of the population has a fundamental impact on the national economy, including decline in productive population, atrophy of available funds, slowdown of technological innovation, slowdown of economic growth, and decrease in vitality of society as a whole. Increase of elderly population would lead to increase in elderly welfare consumers, which would also lead to increase the demand for elderly welfare services. However, due to the continuation of the low birth rate, there is a great shortage of human resources who can handle this. In such a situation, the main goal of the elderly welfare system in the future should aim to actively try to design effective policies, prepare systems, and implement services for the problems of the aged society, and to find ways to expand the finances, manpower, methods, and facilities necessary for the welfare of the elderly. Elderly welfare services in Korea have been changed and developed in accordance with socioeconomic changes such as industrialization and urbanization. This study examines the changes in elderly welfare services in Korea by the flow of times and presents a method which utilizes artificial intelligence and Internet of Things in services for the elderly welfare consumers to improve both quality and efficiency.

At this point in time South Korea is rapidly metastasizing to a aging society. A major cause of aging can be summarized as increased life expectancy, decrease of nuclear family and birthrate, and South Korea's progress is faster than any other country. From the 1970s, western society has changed social welfare to deinstitutionalization and community care because of problems about economic reason and facilities protection, so the type of elderly social service has also changed from the facility welfare service which is accommodated old people in certain facility to community welfare service which provides various welfare services with living together. Public facilities for low income group which are supported by government are lower, 6.6%, than the United States or Japan, 50%. They are divided into private manage facilities and subscription elderly facilities. These subscription elderly residential facilities show poor administration because of focusing on development and market analysis for investment returns. Therefore, in order to vitalize the elderly welfare residential facilities in Korea, we need plans about systematic services facilities for welfare and phased medical treatments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is that (1) the types and functions of residents for community elderly residential facilities in elderly welfare policies of U.S., and supported policies are researched as a transcendental model, (2) data about operating system with the principles of the market is analyzed, and (3) basic data about welfare facility plan for community residential elderly people is provided.

In research on housing welfare policy, there has been little interest in middle-aged households compared with young or elderly households. The purpose of this study was to explore influences on the housing satisfaction of middle-aged renter households using microdata from the Korea Housing Survey 2021. A statistical analysis of data was performed on a total of 2,709,152 middle-aged (aged between 40 and 64 years) Jeonse (lumpsum housing lease) renters and monthly renters with deposits, living in private rental housing units. The major findings were as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in housing unit satisfaction and residential environment satisfaction among renter groups by age and rental type. Early-middle-aged Jeonse renters displayed the highest satisfaction with both housing units and the residential environment, while semielderly monthly renters with deposits displayed the lowest satisfaction. Secondly, living in aged structures or in apartment units exerted the strongest influences on housing satisfaction, which implies the need for residential area regeneration programs that consider the situation of rental households. Thirdly, living in Incheon and Gyeonggi-do was found to have a negative influence on housing satisfaction. Fourthly, upward filtering on tenure types or lease renewal of the current house did not necessarily have a positive influence on the housing satisfaction of middle-aged renters. Based on the findings, suggestions were made to improve the housing situation of middle-aged renter households.
