households using the 2007 Korean Retirement and Income Study. Elderly households were classified into three groups based on the comparisons among the costs of living and then the factors influencing the probability of belonging to each group were investigated using multiple logistic regression models. The major findings are as follows. Firstly, the subjective adequate cost of living was the highest and the subjective minimum cost of living was the lowest. The actual cost of living was in between. Secondly, 42.6% of elderly households belonged to Group1(whose actual cost of living was less than the subjective minimum cost of living), 30.0% was classified into Group2(whose actual cost of living was greater than the subjective minimum cost of living but less than the subjective adequate cost of living) and the actual cost of living of the remaining 27.4% was greater than the subjective adequate cost of living(Group3). Thirdly, income was the strongest factor influencing the probability of belonging to each group, but the influencing factors were different for the logistic models for Group1 and Group3 based on Group2.

This study was performed to estimate living cost for the elderly couple living in a city in Korea. Living cost means expenditure per month for elderly couple. It was assumed that the elderly couple will need different living cost according to their circumstances. The circumstances are health status, retirement status, and the level of living they want. The subjects were the elderly couple households over the age 65 of household head. Total number of subject was 1,649 households. Used data was Annual Report surveyed by National Statistical Office on the Family Income and Expenditure. Analysis of data was done through frequency, percentage, means, median using SAS Program. The results of this study were as follows: Their standard living cost was 844,980 won by pure relative standard line and 842,300 won by quasi relative standard lines. And minimum living cost was 713,400 won by the former, by the latter was 557,600 won (3/2 of median). And abundant Living cost was 1,068,020 won by the former, by the latter 1,263,450 won. The living cost of elderly households was about 81-83%, comparing with non-elderly households. Among the item of expenditure, the proportion of housing and medical care cost was larger than any other items.

The purpose of this study is to set the various cost-of-living standards utilizing a published national data. 1995 annual data, The Family Income and Expenditure Survey, were used to set the standards of living. Four index reflecting health and decency level, normal level, minimum of health and decency level, and pauper level were suggested and the cost-of-living of each level were estimated. Results showed that cost-of-living estimated in this study were not quite different from those of former studies, but the name of the standard-of-living need to be changed.

현재의 생활보호제도는 거택 및 시설보호대상자의 선정기준이 지나치게 낮아 생계 보조를 필요로 하는 많은 집단이 보호대상에 포함되지 못하고 있으며, 급여수준도 최저생계비를 충족시켜 주지 못하는 수준이다. 뿐만 아니라, 전국에 동일한 대상자 선정기준 및 급여수준을 일률적으로 적용하고 있어 지역간물가, 특히 주거비 편차에 따른 최저생계비 차이가 반영되지 못하고 있다. 이 연구는 현재의 생활보호사업이 지역간 편차 및 최저생계비를 충족시키지 못하고 있다는 점에 논의의 초점을 두고, 서울시를 연구대상으로 지역 최저생계비를 계측하였다. 계측된 서울시 최저생계비를 전국기준과 비교함으로써 지역간 편차를 규명하였으며, 현재의 생활보호사업으로부터 보호받지 못하는 실질적인 빈곤인구 규모를 파악하였다. 생활보호사업에서 이용하고 있는 전국기준과의 비교를 위하여 현재 대상자 선정기준 및 급여수준 결정의 근간이 된 1994년 한국보건사회연구원의 <최저생계비 계측조사연구>에서 사용한 데이터 및 계측방법을 이용하여 1994년 서울시 최저생계비를 계측하였다. 계측결과 1994년 서울시 4인 표준가구의 최저생계비는 88만 7,611원으로, 이는 보사연에서 계측한 전국평군 최저생계비보다 약 1.33배 높은 값이다. 이를 빈곤선으로 간주하고 1994년도 도시가계조사데이터 서울시 표본을 이용하여 빈곤인구를 추정한 결과, 서울시 인구의 약 5.9%인 63만 6천여명이 이 기준에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 1994년 서울시 생활보호대상자 12만 3천명의 약 5.2배에 이르는 수치이다.

In this study, the food cost for the urban worker's living expenses was estimated for the Korea Labor Union. The urban workers living expenses are minimum of healthy and decency level expenses with allowances for minimum quality of life. Thus, the food cost should be enough for purchasing proper kinds and amount of foods which can supply sufficient nutrient to maintain health and which should reflect current food consumption patterns. To estimate the food cost, the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowances was used to calculate the amount of nutrients which should be supplied. The National nutrition survey and the Food balance sheet, were used to estimate the current consumption patterns for the kind and amount of food. To estimate price for each food item, the market survey was executed in six large cities. Also, to verify the estimated food cost, actual food costs were surveyed. For 5 kinds of model household, dietary allowances were calculated for the each nutrient. Using the Korean food guides, the number of serving for each food group were decided for the model households. In each food group, the amount and kind of foods were decided by the current food consumption pattern. The kind and amount of food were adjusted by the amount of calculated nutrient. When the amount of nutrient was between 90% and 110% of the recommended dietary intake, it was accepted. With these amount and kinds of foods, the food cost were calculated using the market survey. Considering extra expenses for the eating-out and processed foods, extra expenses are added. As a results, for single person family, the estimated food cost was 149,210won per month. For two, three, four and five person family, the estimated food costs were 245,179won, 381,182won, 501,669won and 687,980won per month, respectively. The estimated food cost were lower in the single and two person family than the actual food cost by the survey. The cost for eating-out gave major differences. In the future, to estimate food cost, the food consumption patterns for the different kind of household, sex and age should be studied carefully. Also, the pattern of eating-out should by analyzed.

본 연구는 노인층 생계비에 관해 충분한 연구가 이루어져 있지 못한 상황에서 여러 생계비 측정방식중 반물량방식과 통계분석방식을 적용하여 노인 가계를 위한 생계비 측정방식의 다양화를 제안하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 따라서 생계비산정방식을 반물량방식과 통계분석방식을 통해 산정하였으며 이를 다른 연구와 비교함으로써 앞으로 생계비 산정방식의 다양화를 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 밝혀진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째 반물량 방식에 의한 2006년 노인부부가계의 최저생계비는 566,478원이고 노인독신가계 중 남자는 306,210원, 여자는 260,276원으로 나타났다. 둘째, 통계분석방식에 의하면 노인부부가계의 경우 생계비 1방식에서는 최저생계비가 860,043원, 표준생계비 1,018,669원, 유락생계비 1,287,555원으로 나타났다. 그리고 생계비 2방식에서는 694,916원, 표준생계비 1,037,779원, 유락생계비 1,556,551원으로 나타났다. 이는 모두 귀속임대료를 포함시킨 것이지만 귀속임대료를 제외한 생계비는 최저생계비 435,416원, 표준생계비 548,250원, 유락생계비 699,844원으로 나타났다. 여기에서 반물량방식의 최저생계비는 유사 상대 표준선의 최저생계비와 귀속임대료를 제외한 최저생계비 사이인 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 산정된 노인생계비를 정부 공식 생계비와 정영숙의 생계비 산정방식과 비교한 결과 주거비를 포함할 경우 생계비1방식에 의해서는 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 주거비를 제외할 경우에 비해서는 모두 높게 나타났다. 또한 생계비 2방식에 의한 최저생계비와는 유사하게 나타났다. 그러나 본 연구를 통해 여러 방식의 생계비 산정을 시도하였지만 산정된 생계비 결과가 아직까지 일관성이 있다고 판단하기는 어려웠다. 이는 노인을 대상으로 한 절대적 생계비 산정방식인 전물량방식의 생계비 산정이 아주 필요하다는 점을 나타낸 결과라 하겠다. 이에 절대적 산정방식, 특히 전물량방식의 생계비 산정이 이루어지기 전에 다른 생계비 산정 결과에 대한 해석이 제한되기 때문에 좀 더 다양한 방식의 산정방식을 활용하여 체계적이고 종합적인 노인 생계비가 산정되고 제안되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

The purpose of this study is 1) to clarify that the house is no long the safe place through the cases of the senior safety accidents and to argue the need for housing repair and 2) to present the minimum standards for housing repair by comparing the cases here as well as the abroad and to back up the standards with the current senior housing environment 300 people at least 60 years old living in Seoul$\cdot$Metropolitan area were interviewed using the structured questionnaire. As the result, the following conclusions were made: 1. There was high accident rates of the senior residents due to physical deficits within the house, causing excessive medical cost and decreased housing satisfaction. This problem can be sufficiently prevented by housing repair which can not only solve the safety problem but also support self sufficient living for the senior residents. 2. Proper housing repair required the architectural know how as well as the expertise knowledge of the physical characteristics of the senior people. Therefore, it is essential to secure the professional (i.e., occupational therapist) who can analyze the needs of the senior residents and evaluate and/or predict the obstacles during repair. Furthermore, development and distribution of the standardized manual are also needed. 3. The minimum standard for housing repair could be approached in view of 'barrier-free' concept. First, the bumps should be removed, slippery prevented, and safety grab-bar installed for safety. Second, the entrance should be widened and the bathroom and kitchen restructured to support for the senior residents' self sufficiency. To make housing repair policy more efficient, the legal basis is required. It can be incorporated into the existing senior citizens 'Welfare Act' or the 'Senior Residents Medical Insurance' which will be effective starting in 2007.

The purpose of the study is to establish the concept of residential standard, and at the same time to investigate the area of the minimum residential standard in the countries of the world through the preceding studies. In addition, it also aims at establishing the objective residential standard by comparing the residential standard of Korea with that of foreign countries, examining the problems and finding out the matters to be improved through the comparison of the residential standard in advanced countries with the minimum residential standard of Korea. The standard residential area, derived from the process of examining the minimum residential standard, will be used as the basic material for the calculation of the reasonable area in the surface plan for the study of low-cost housing development. The method of the study is to establish the concept of residential standard and at the same time to find out the problems in the minimum residential standard of Korea and improvement methods through the comparison of the residential standards in other countries. As the result of the studies focused on the area among the residential standards, it is found out that the Korea's residential area per capita is established as the least in comparison with that of advanced countries. The real area decided depending on the size of social space suitable for living can play a role in improving the degree of satisfaction in the person's living in the residential area. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to make a depth study on the surface area of the minimum residential standard, and it is also required to propose the residential standard and directions for the improvement of the qualitative level rather the quantitative expansion of residential structures.
