Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify personal factors, social factors, and environmental factors related to physical activity in older adults in urban and non-urban areas. Methods: We used source data from the 2017 Community Health Survey. The subjects of this study included some older adults aged 65 and over, and analyzed the data of 23,043 older adults living in the urban and 34,063 older adults living in the non-urban area. Results: The common factors influencing physical activity in older adults by region include current smoking and drinking, BMI, sleep duration, and subjective health status, help with neighbors, frequency of meeting with neighbors and friends, participation in social and leisure activities, and falls experience (p<.001). However, the living environment, public transport satisfaction, and medical service use significantly associated with physical activity for only older adults living in the urban area (p<.001). Conclusion: In order to improve physical activity in older adults in the community, it is necessary to consider not only the improvement of individual factors that practice health behaviors but also health promotion strategies that take into account social and environmental factors because there are environmental differences among regions.

This study begins with an interest in community capacity, the basis for mobilizing community action and the driving force of community development. The study aims to identify the structural equation model of community capacity, social participation, satisfaction in life, and the impact relationship and to verify the differences between urban and rural areas. The analysis data used the 2018Korean Social Integration Survey, which is the statistical data for national approval. The analysis method was performed by using SPSS was used to perform descriptive analysis and t-test, and the structural equation model. Multi-group analysis of AMOS was also performed to verify the research model. As the result of analysis, both the condition and status of community capacity and social participation, which are products of community capacity, showed a higher average of rural areas than urban areas. As a result of the analysis of the structural equation model between community capacity, social participation, and life satisfaction, differences between rural and urban groups were identified. In rural areas, both the capacity-condition and the capacity-status variables act as positive factors for social participation and life satisfaction, but in urban areas, the path of capacity-condition, social participation, capacity-status and life satisfaction was significant. On the other hand, social participation variables acted as a factor of direct and indirect negatively influence on life satisfaction. Therefore, it can be said that the quality of community capacity in rural areas is superior to that of urban areas.

This study was conducted to investigate the plant community and to propose ecological planning methods for urban environmental forest on Gaepo neighborhood park, Gangnamgu in Seoul. Thirty-six plots that the size of each plot was 10$\times$10m(100\ulcorner) were set up and the vegetation analysis was carried out. Field survey was executed Apirl, 1994. The actual vegetation was consisted of Poplulus$\times$albaglandulosa community(73.03%), Robinia pseudoacacia community(8.30%) P. $\times$ albaglandulosa-R.pseudoacacia community(1.81%) and environmental forest (15.22%) in the survey site. According to mean importance values of each plot, survey area were divided into ten forest communities. As for the analysis of plant community structure which was classified into ten forest communities, the importance values, ecological diversity, number of species, number of individuals, basal area and crown coverage of urban environmental forest were relatively lower than those of the native community. In urban environmental forest of Gaepo neighborhood park, it showed problems for the planting method. So urban environmental forest should be constructed considering ecological characteristics based on above results.

The purpose of this study was to propose the community planting method through analyzing the plant community structure of three green space types and the relationship of vegetation and wild bird inhabitation of urban environmental forest in Seoul, Korea. The results from this study showed that the vegetation stratification, coverage, and species diversity were closely related to the wild bird inhabitation. In addition, the environmental forest in study site was analyzed as a negative factor that may decrease the biodiversity. Therefore the ecological structure and environmental condition must be considered in order to improve the quality of environmental forest. Based on results in three green space types, the planting species, density and species size for proper community planting were proposed in this study. The ecological niche relationships among sixteen selected species were also presented. The results will be provided as an valueable output for the completed community planting of urban green space in the central region, Korea.

Farm economy is getting worse because of the free trade trends in agriculture sector and unreasonable application of market economy principles to agricultural products. And The worldwide issues of environmental pollution as well as want of food, water and energy make human future be anxious. In addition, consumers raise questions in argument about safety of foods produced by traditional farming or imported. So I propose the urban-rural living community movement(URLCM) as an alternative plan for sustainable domestic agriculture. URLCM based on environmentally friendly agriculture and community consciousness will be able to solve many of present issues on agriculture and rural society through incessant interchanges between urban and rural community. This URLCM has to be basically founded on principles of symbiosis-coexistence and life circulation. So those that have to be driven forward arc organizing producers and consumer cooperatives, making environmentally friendly rural region and products, combining with consumer cooperatives, training the participants and so forth.

Reviewing the meaning aid task of balance of regional development, this papa examines the causes of the underdevelopment of rural areas in relation to the urbanization process, probes the concept, principle and necessity of rural community development, and suggests the policy tasks for rural community development in the perspective of regionally balanced development. Since 1960's, Korea has pursued a growth-oriented economic policy. The focus on the aggregated growth, however, has resulted bo invite some regional disparity problems. In the process of development, regional disparity problems were quite a large rural areas compared with urban areas relatively. The under-development of rural areas is deeply correlated with the overcrowding (or overconcentration) phenomena of urban(or metropolitan) areas. The urban-biased policy is the primary cause of the deepening regional imbalance structure between urban and rural areas. The inter-regions equitable and well-balanced development is one of the national policy issues by which the government is confronted, since the issue is closely related with national quality of life. Main three policy tasks for rural community development were 'the new paradigm of development policy' , 'local-oriented policy' and 'human-oriented policy'.

Microbial community shifts, associated with performance data, were investigated in an anaerobic batch digester treating high-solid food waste under mesophilic conditions using, a combination of molecular techniques and chemical analysis methods. The batch process was successfully operated with an organic removal efficiency of 44.5% associated with a biogas yield of 0.82 L/g $VS_{removal}$. Microbial community structures were examined by denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis. Clostridium and Symbiobacterium organisms were suggested to be mainly responsible for the organic matter catabolism in hydrolysis and acidogenesis reactions. The dynamics of archaeal and methanogenic populations were monitored using real-time PCR targeting 16S rRNA genes. Methanosarcina was the predominant methanogen, suggesting that the methanogenesis took place mainly via an aceticlastic pathway. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens were also supported in high-solid anaerobic digestion of food waste through syntrophism with syntrophic bacterium. Microbial community shifts showed good agreement with the performance parameters in anaerobic digestion, implying the possibility of diagnosing a high-solid anaerobic digestion process by monitoring microbial community shifts. On the other hand, the batch results could be relevant to the start-up period of a continuous system and could also provide useful information to set up a continuous operation.

Land cover changes associated with urbanization have driven climate change and pollution, which alter properties of ecosystems at local, regional, and continental scales. Thus, the relationships among urban ecological variables such as community composition, structure, health, soil and functioning need to be better understood to restore and improve urban ecosystems. In this study, we discuss urban ecosystem management and research from a futuristic perspective based on analyses of vegetation structure, composition, and successional trends, as well as the chemical properties of soils and the distribution of heat along an urban-rural gradient. Urban thermo-profile analysis using satellite images showed an obvious mitigating effect of vegetation on the Seoul heat island. Community attributes of Quercus mongolica stands reflected the effects of urbanization, such as pronounced increases in disturbance-related and pollution-tolerant species, such as Styrax japonica and Sorbus alnifolia. Retrogressive successional trends were detected in urban sites relative to those in rural sites. Changes in the urban climate and biotic environment have the potential to significantly influence the practice and outcomes of ecological management, restoration and forecasting because of the associated changes in future bio-physical settings. Thus, for management (i.e., creation and restoration) of urban green spaces, forward-thinking perspectives supported by historical information are necessary.

국내 주거재생 및 도시재생 사업이 활성화됨에 따라 주거환경 및 경관 개선, 그리고 공동체 활동에 대한 관심 증대로 인해 도시농업의 일종인 커뮤니티가든에 대한 관심 역시 증가하고 있다. 하지만 국내 커뮤니티가든에 대한 인식은 아직 도시농업의 범주를 벗어나지 못하고 있으며, 실천방안 논의 역시 기초 단계에 머물러 있는 현황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 커뮤니티가든의 발상지인 북미 4개 도시 커뮤니티가든의 현황을 직접 현장 조사하고, 공간적 구성 및 사회적 기능을 중심으로 분석함으로써 사례 도시별 커뮤니티가든의 특성을 탐구하여 국내 커뮤니티가든 연구에 있어 유의미한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구 방법으로는 커뮤니티가든이 활발하게 운영 관리되고 있는 시애틀, 뉴욕, 필라델피아와 밴쿠버 등 4개 도시의 총 166개 커뮤니티가든에 대한 현장조사를 실시한 후, 각 도시별 커뮤니티가든 4곳을 선정하여 분석을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 각 도시의 커뮤니티가든은 입지 성격 및 사회적 수요에 따라 다양한 기능을 수행하고 있음이 확인되었다. '근교외' 도시인 시애틀과 밴쿠버 커뮤니티가든의 경우, '참여'의 장으로써의 역할이 강조되고 있는 반면, '도심'에 위치한 뉴욕과 필라델피아 커뮤니티가든은 '경관 미화'의 기능이 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이처럼 북미 커뮤니티가든은 전체 지역사회를 위한 다목적 공공 공간으로써 도시 어메니티 기능을 복합적으로 수행하고 있는데, 이는 국내 커뮤니티가든 연구에서 커뮤니티가든의 사회적 기능 및 이를 수행하기 위한 공간적 구성에 대한 고려가 필요함을 암시한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the elements of community Design for urban housing complex, and to suggest design criteria for urban housing. It is recognized that the community facilities has to fit within the urban fabric. However with a correct focus, the community activities can acquire its own identity around which its internal social and economic activities can flourish. A community needs a focus and a well ordered hierarchy of all amenities in a balanced and cohesive environment. This has been achieved within the framework of following parameters as follows: Focus and Identity of community, Cohesion of areas and activities, Accessibility of general facilities, Community and institutional provisions, Safety and Hierarchy of commercial activities.
