The aim of our study was to provide a basic data for the development of a small greenhouse model suitable for urban farmers. The study analyzed installation inclination, positive and negative reasons for installation, location of installation, preferred crops in small greenhouses, plans for use of products, and expected effects by using small greenhouse. Positive opinion on small greenhouse installation was 80.4% of the survey respondents. The most positive reason for the installation of small greenhouses was fresh and safe food supply, and the negative reason was maintenance difficulties. The results obtained in our survey indicated that small greenhouses were more likely to be installed near the house, and urban farmers tended to grow organic leafy vegetables in soil. The expected benefits of small greenhouse operation were largely divided into 'benefit for the improvement of the quality of life' and 'benefit for economic profits', and expectation for the improvement of the quality of life was higher than economic benefit. As a result of the Likert 5-point scale analysis, 'benefit for the improvement of the quality of life' by using a small greenhouse was graded as high as 4.17~4.60. On the other hand, the 'benefit to economic profits' was rated as low as 3.51~4.14.

In the 21st century when people're pursuing the qualitative improvement of life, the concern about the quality of housing is growing as living standards have been improved and the desire for life has been various. Life satisfaction can be found that basic needs of residential satisfaction have been met in life, and the quality of life will be higher with the fulfillment of these desires. Humans all live in social relations, which have a big impact on the quality of life of individuals in a variety of aspects. Thus, this researcher tried to investigate middle-aged people's residential environment and the actual situation of social capital and to examine the effect of social capital on the relationship between residential environment satisfaction and life satisfaction through an empirical study. The survey was conducted for middle-aged people to collect data, 500 copies of a questionnaire were distributed and 490 of them were collected, and then the actual analysis of 484 copies without missing values was done using SPSS Ver. 21.0. As a result, first, middle-aged people's residential environment had a significant effect on life satisfaction. Second, moderating effects of social capital between middle-aged people's residential environment satisfaction and life satisfaction showed a partly significant influence. Depending on these results, the researcher try to offer the direction for the improvement of the quality of life to middle-aged people and useful data to establish Korea housing policy.

The main function of artificial wetlands and the largest proportion of the purpose of artificial wetlands created is water purification. The public's interest and demand for water quality increased after the Four major rivers project, and the need for water quality improvement is expected to increase further as the use of waterfront increased due to the improvement of quality of life. Most of the projects focus on only one purpose, and research on the effects of one function is also being analyzed, which undervalues the actual creation of artificial wetlands. Therefore, in order to calculate the comprehensive benefits of artificial wetlands, the effects of flood reduction and water quality improvement were analyzed in this study among the various effects of artificial wetlands along riversides, and the benefits were calculated accordingly. In other words, the effects of flood mitigation and water quality improvement were calculated by comparing the artificial wetlands before and after the construction of artificial wetlands, and the benefits of each of them were calculated.

The construction industry consists of various and massive architectural information as an architectural process includes a variety of design stages with cooperation of many disciplines. Particularly, architectural information is generated and managed through the life cycle of a building, from conceptual design stage to the construction and maintenance. A Building Information Model (BIM) serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. BIM technology accomplished quantitative development being utilized in various disciplines. However, it is necessary to develop environment and requirement for qualitative improvement of BIM based project. Particularly, requirement is very important for architectural design evaluations. The purpose of this study is to develop and apply of quality control requirement for improving the quality of architectural design in open BIM environments. To achieve this purpose, the authors have investigated case study for open BIM data quality control (software, guideline and application case) and classified quality control targets according to physical/logical quality and data quality. In addition, the authors have defined open BIM based quality control process and developed quality control requirements. Finally, the authors have developed rule based quality check system using requirements for efficient quality control based on open BIM.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of fall-prevention exercise programs on fall efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life in elderly. Design: a randomized controlled trial Methods: A total of 57 participants over 65-years-old have been allocated to control and experimental groups. The experimental group received 8 weeks of fall-prevention exercises that included strengthening of lower extremities, balance and gait training. They received the exercises twice a week for 50 minutes as a group.Both groups were assessed using Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) prior and post to the intervention. The control group also received the same exercise program after the post evaluation. Results: The experimental group showed overall improvement in MFES, GDS, and physical components of SF-36 (p<0.05). The MFES was significantly increased in the experimental group after the intervention (p<0.05). The GDS was significantly decreased in the experimental group after the intervention (p<0.05). The SF-36, only physical Function, Role limitations due to physical health, general health, and energy and fatigue categories were improved in the experimental group after the intervention (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results showed 8 weeks of fall-prevention exercise programs can increase fall efficacy and physical related quality of life while reducing depression of elderly over 65.

Objective: To investigate a clinical effect of Taichichuan training focussing on improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. Methods: The subject of study consisted of 10 cancer patients at the East-West Cancer Center of Dunsan Oriental hospital. The survey method of this study is Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) korean version. Patients performed Taichichuan twice a week and filled out FACT-G questionnaire before and after training. Results: Although total FACT-G score decreased 0.7 point after training, emotional well-being score increased 1.0 point after training. Male improved FACT-G score better than female. Over 50 age improved FACT-G score better than under 50 age. Over stage Ⅲ improved FACT-G score better than Under Stage II. Patients who were treated integrative treatment improved FACT-G score better than patients who were only treated conventional treatment. But all results were not significant statistically. Conclusions: Emotional well-being tends to improve after training, but this study cannot proved Taichichuan training improve quality of life in cancer patients. Well designed advanced study will be needed to prove its benefits.
