Purpose. With a sample of cognitively impaired nursing home residents and nursing staff, the following were examined 1) the proportion and nature of aggressive behavior, 2) the frequency and types of aggressive behavior, 3) the difference between the residents who demonstrate aggressive behavior and those who do not demonstrate aggressive behavior (age, mental status, functional status, and pain, length of nursing home stay), and 4) nursing staff responses to aggressive behavior by residents. Methods. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used. Data were collected from cognitively impaired nursing home residents (N=205) and nursing staff (N=60) at two nursing homes using Ryden Aggression Scale I and II, Mini-Mental State Exam, Modified Barthel Index, Verbal Descriptor Scale, and aggressive behavior management questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including t-test. Results. About $62.9\%$ residents were found to be aggressive and $38.5\%$ were both physically and verbally aggressive. Pushing, making threatening gestures, hitting, slapping, cursing/obscene/vulgar languages, making verbal threats were occurred frequently. Aggressive residents were significantly older, had more cognitive impairment, had more pain, and stayed longer in the nursing home when compared with non-aggressive residents. Considerable proportion of nursing staff responded to aggressive behaviors inadequately. Conclusion. Aggressive behavior among cognitively impaired nursing home residents is prevalent thus needs to be prevented and reduced. Along with environmental modification, educational programs for nursing staff and family caregivers need to be developed and implemented so that they can have extensive knowledge and skills to manage aggressive behaviors.

With population growth and quality of life improvement, household energy use also has increased. Under this circumstances, consumers are increasingly required to seek for efficient ways of energy saving. However, precedent studies have largely overlooked energy consumers' consumption behavior, and particularly little research has been conducted on energy consumption or saving patterns of residents living in apartments, which account for over 50% of the Korean housing market. Therefore, this study examined apartment residents' energy use behavior according to apartment residents' characteristics in order to efficient energy use and management. To this examination, survey was conducted of housewives living in apartments in Busan, and 403 data were analyzed by the SPSS WIN 12.0 program. With respect to their energy behavior according to characteristics of subjects, it was different depending on income, housing size, age, the length of residence, and the education standard. When higher income group and larger housing size group, residents were not doing 'passive saving' and 'comfort oriented.' When younger, they were 'comfort oriented.' When well-educated, they were 'comfort oriented.' Also, with regard to the length of residence, significant difference was found. The results of this study can be utilized as effective guidelines in efficient management, policy making, and education method reflecting energy use behavior of energy users.

The aim of the study was to identify the relationships between the physical environments of the group homes and the daily activities of the residents. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1) Most residents in the group home considered bathing and cooking to be the most difficult of their living activities.

In addition, there was a difference in ADL and IADL among the groups. The independent group's residents were shown to be independent in ADL and IADL, whereas the but those of the semi-dependent and dependent groups' residents were lower in IADL than in ADL. 2) When their behaviors of space occupancy were examined, it appeared that the independent group showed a different space sharing pattern among individual residents, with a wide range of behavior of space occupancy. Meanwhile, The semi-dependent group mostly shared a common space with simple activities of daily living while no any service low leisure program was provided.
