These days the number of aged and disabled people is increasing rapidly. But most of the disabled or the aged who have the ability to work, want to engage in economic activities and solve social restrictions as well as their bad financial conditions. This paper concerns about the tracking control of an electric wheelchair robot for welfare vehicle where the seat and electric wheelchair are separated and electric wheelchair robot must be autonomously controlled without the help of assistant. So the aged or the disabled people can drive welfare vehicle by himself by adopting this system. Therefore the concept of both an autonomous driving of electric wheelchair and path tracking robots is required in this system. Finally we suggested fuzzy controller in order to control the path tracking of electric wheelchair robot and compared the capability of the proposed controller with conventional PID controller.

2008년에 시작된 한국의 노인 장기요양보험은 그보다 8년 먼저 시작된 일본의 개호보험을 원용한 것이다. 양국은 노인의 생활을 지원하기 위하여 지적 정신적으로 약화된 노인의 삶을 지원하기 위한 복지용구 급여제도를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 복지용품 품목과 일본의 복지용품 품목을 비교·검토하여 한국과 일본의 품목별 특성을 알아보았다. 한국은 배회감지기, 자세변환용구, 요실금팬티 등이 일본보다 앞서서 복지용구로 등록되었으며 일본은 자동소변처리기, 휠체어 전동보조장치, 체위변환기, 이동용 리프트 등이 한국보다 먼저 복지용구로 지정되었다. 또한 일본 후생노동성은 배설예측지원기기의 복지용구 지정을 예고한 상태이다. 한국과 일본이 복지용구 품목들을 발전 시키기 위하여 협력한다면 초고령사회에 양국의 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

This study aims to survey the living spaces of the welfare facilities for the aged to get the objective relationships between the physical thermal environment and the users' subjective responses. The surveys were made twice in winter and once in summer during 2001 and 2002. An ambient temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, globe temperature were measured as physical elements of thermal environment and the ASHRAE Psychophysical Voting Scale were used as an evaluation index for subjective responses. As the results, the aged respond thermally comfortable, in spite of the differences among important factors such as thermal sensations, humidity sensations and air velocity sensations. Also the physical thermal environmental elements and the subjective responses indices exceed thermal comfort range calculated by PMV(Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD(Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied). It shows that the insulation of walls of the facilities is not enough for heating and cooling seasons, and the indoor environmental control is necessary.

본 연구에서는 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도에 관한 종단적 변화와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 "고령화와 한국노인의 삶의 질에 관한 연구"의 3개년도 자료를 잠재성장모델로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도는 시간이 지남에 따라 부정적으로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고연령집단일수록, 무배우일수록, 농촌지역 거주자일수록, 교육수준이 낮을수록, 사회활동의 수가 적을수록, 주관적 경제상태에 여유가 없을수록, 주관적 건강상태가 나쁠수록 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 초기 태도는 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도의 종단적 변화는 거주지역, 교육수학기간, 주관적 경제상태, 주관적 건강상태에 따라 다른 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 중노년층이 본인의 노화에 대한 부정적인 태도를 줄이기 위해 필요한 정책적, 실천적 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.

Due to the fact that there are low birth rate and longer life longevity, schools have been shutting down and converted into welfare facilities. However, most of researches about utilizing closed down school are focused on case researches or architectural planning and design. Moreover, majority of existing welfare centers for the aged are not designed with the flow of human traffic in mind, which means there is no consideration of physical or psychological characteristics of elderly people. That fact leads to increasing number of shutting down welfare facilities. Therefore, this thesis will present the necessity of effective space allocation, extension and reconstruction for residents in aged care by analyzing space using index of space syntax with depth-map software.

The report of the Korean National Statistics Office shows that Korea has been emerging as an elderly society rapidly, and it will burden the Korean society with excessive social welfare cost for the aged in the near future. If we can help the aged to live healthy in some ways, the social burden for the health care of the aged will be lessened. In order to help physical and mental health of the elderly person, we have developed an exercise apparatus called intelligent arm wrestling machine system. This paper presents the mechanism and scenario of the proposed intelligent arm wrestling machine system. The proposed mechanism and scenario are peculiar. In particular, the proposed scenario determines randomly who will win between the man and the robot and generates a game process that the arm-wrestler cannot predict in advance.
