This study evaluated 23 elderly residents living independently in 4 group homes for their behaviors of space occupancy and activities of daily living. The aim of the study was to analysis the habit of space occupancy of residents in group homes for elderly people. As the results, the habit of space occupancy of residents in group homes was analysed and categorized into four types: (1) bedroom occupancy, (2) common space occupancy, (3) 2-space occupancy and (4) several spaces occupancy. It was shown, then, that the common space occupancy in ‘ㅂ' group home, 2-space occupancy and several spaces occupancy in 'ㅇ' and 'ㄱ' group homes, and bedroom occupancy in ‘ㅅ' group home were highest, respectively, so that the type of their space occupancy varied in accordance with individual group homes. Moreover, there was a difference in the habit of their space occupancy according to the degree of achieving both ADL and IADL. This fact seems to indicate that the higher the degree of their independence in ADL and IADL, the more the number of their occupying space. Accordingly, the degree of their independence in achieving ADL and IADL should be taken into account in planning residential spaces for elderly people, including individual and commonly sharing spaces, traffic lines, layout and facilities.

정부는 임대주택에서 고령자 주택의 의무 설치비율에 대한 기준을 2012년 2월에 마련하였고, 이에 따라 고령자 주호 수는 늘어날 전망이다. 그리고 고령화 사회에 대비하기 위해 유비쿼터스 기술을 활용하면 효율적인 의료서비스를 지원할 수 있을 것이라는 주장이 다양한 연구에서 언급되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 고령자의 자립정도에 따라 헬스케어 서비스를 제공하기 위한 고령자 주택의 계획요소를 도출하고 현재 기축된 4곳의 사례 적용평가를 통해 실태 파악과 추후의 전략을 도출하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 고령자 주택계획에서 주호 내 어메니티를 지원하는 부분이 중요도가 가장 높은 것으로 평가되었으나, 실제 주택에서 반영 비율은 낮았고 공용공간의 위험 관리계획이 가장 높은 비율로 적용되어 있었다. 실제 건강측정이나 외부와의 커뮤니티 돕는 것과 같은 새로운 기술을 활용하는 부분은 아직 적용되지 않았지만 에이징인 플레이스의 개념을 실현하기 위해서는 헬스케어서비스를 다양한 측면에서 고려하여 계획할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.

There are 3,931,822 elderly who receives long-term care at home and 1,704,469 elderly who stay at long-term care facilities in those of 34,610,000 of +65 years old population in Japan; thus, the elderly people who need home care are 2.3 times more than facilities (2016).In the near future, the number of elderly people with a degree of daily life independence and dementia category II or more will increase to 4.7 million (12.8% of the elderly population). Therefore, the use of home-care robots is essential for the disaster evacuation of the overwhelming majority of those elderly who need home care and for of vitals checks to keep family, caregivers, and medical professionals informed to reduce the risk in chronic health conditions in welfare evacuation centers. This also helps to care for the caregivers who are caring for the elderly, and the introduction of home-robots to evacuation centers should receive prompt attention from our care-friendly society.

본 연구는 자녀와 동거하지 않는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 노년기 독립적인 삶의 기대감과 노인의 하향이전의 관계를 실증적으로 검토하여 분석하였다. 분석에 사용된 자료는 "2008년도 전국 노인생활실태 및 복지욕구조사"자료이며, 자료분석은 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 분석결과, 노인의 독립적인 삶의 기대감 정도는 노인의 하향이전 정도에 정적(+)인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 구체적으로 경제적 신체적 독립적인 삶의 기대감은 노인의 경제적 서비스 하향이전에 정적(+)인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타난 반면, 심리적 독립적인 삶의 기대감은 노인의 서비스 하향이전에는 정적(+)인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났지만 경제적 하향이전에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The use of a gym ball is becoming more popular for dynamic balance exercises. However, little is known about the effects of the dynamic ball exercises in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to compare balance and functional mobility after dynamic balance exercises using a gym ball to reduce the risk factorfor falls. All of the 15 subjects were women between the ages of 68 and 91 (mean age=79.9 yrs, SD=5.87) at anursing home in Wonju. Seven of fifteen subjects were placed in the experimental group and the others in the control group. Three clinical tests were used to determine the degree of balance and functional mobility before beginning the exercise program, after 4 weeks of gym ball exercise, and after 8 weeks of gym ball exercise. These three tests included Timed Up & Go (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Dynamic ball exercises training for 8 weeks (5 days per week) included side stretching, prone walking, bridging, marching and opposite arm and leg lifting. There were significant differences found before the gym ball exercise program began and after 4 weeks and then 8 weeks in the experimental group (p<.05). Significant differences between the groups were shown for TUG and BBS (p<.05). No significant difference was noted between the groups for FIM. Therefore, gym ball exercises can improve dynamic balance and may be recommended to include in a therapeutic program to help the elderly reduce their risk of a fall.
