본 연구는 Andersen과 Newman(1973)의 행동모델을 적용하여 지역사회 노인들의 경로당 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고, 이용자 만족도의 매개효과를 검증하여 경로당 이용 노인의 만족도 향상 및 경로당 운영 활성화를 위한 정책적·실천적 대안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 부산지역 2,283개소 경로당 이용 노인 578명이다. 연구결과, 경로당 총 이용기간에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 연령, 가능성 요인 중 경로당 유형으로 분석되었으며, 1주일간 경로당 총 이용일 수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 성별, 연령, 교육수준으로 나타났다. 매개변수인 이용자 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 성별, 연령, 욕구요인 중 주관적 건강상태로 분석되었다. 이용자 만족도 매개효과 검증 결과, 연령과 경로당 총 이용기간 사이에는 부분 매개효과, 성별과 1주일간 경로당 이용일 수 사이에는 완전 매개효과, 연령과 1주일간 경로당 이용일 수 사이에는 부분 매개효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구의 목적과 주요 결과에 따라 경로당 이용자 만족도 및 이용 활성화를 위한 정책적·실천적 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 경로당 이용자 특성에 따른 프로그램 개발과 지원이 요구된다. 둘째, 경로당 유형 및 지역적 환경에 따라 경로당을 특성화 할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, 경로당 운영비 지원 기준 개선과 인상이 필요하다.

This study explores institutions that provide comprehensive services to senior citizens, including welfare, healthcare, and housing support. These institutions can be defined as centers that offer continual care and carry out policies related to senior citizens. In such institutions, senior citizens have access to information about aging and senior services. First, this study reviewed prior research on senior comprehensive support institutions and their accessibility, and the data led to several findings about the needs of the senior citizens and the proper locations of senior comprehensive support institutions. And this study used surveys to gather information on senior citizens' perceptions of services at such institutions. The survey results indicated that the elderly agreed with the priorities of comprehensive support institutions, and that it would be more convenient to visit such institutions if there were more than one per Dong (administrative district of Seoul). In response to these results, the ideal radius of each administrative district in the metropolitan area of Korea was investigated. Finally, the study also discussed the adequacy of this distance in comparison to that of current institutions in Japan. Combining these results, the study concludes that comprehensive support institutions for the citizens should be created and suggests appropriate distances and locations of such institutions.

Senior centers in apartment complex have been provided since 1980 according to the Housing Act in Korea. Nowadays these senior centers are model leisure facility for the elderly. However there are no specific guidelines for space composition and usage in a senior center. This study examines the space composition and usage patterns of 16 senior centers in apartment complex, Jangyou New Town. The data were collected by means of an observation, measuring, and interviews. The results are ; 1) A senior center consisted of one living room and two rooms for men and women would be appropriate; A living room is for common activities and two rooms for casual resting of each gender. 2) A kitchen is mainly used for setting the table or making tea. Thus, the living-dining-kitchen type would be appropriate. 3) Many rest rooms are located outside of a senior center and unisex one. The restroom should be separated by gender and located within the senior center. Also, the width of all doors should be more than 80cm and the floor be flat. The grab bars should be installed near the fixtures in a restroom. 4) Design and location of the shoe shelf are not convenient for the elderly to use. It should be designed and arranged for the elderly to use conveniently. Also, space for canes, walkers or wheelchairs should be considered in entrance area.

우리나라는 지금 고령사회의 도전에 직면해 있다. 젊은 경제활동인구가 감소하고 노인인구가 크게 증가하는 고령사회에서는 전대미문의 노인문제가 제기된다. 노인 인구가 급작스럽고도 빨리 증가하는 사회는 고령화의 쇼크, 고령화 사회의 지진 등으로 불리는 미래사회의 위기를 경고하고 있다. 한국의 노인들은 여러 사회적인 요인으로 인해 제대로 교육을 받지 못한 집단으로 어느 구성원 보다 평생교육이 필요한 집단이며 노인들은 평생교육의 주요 대상자로 부각되고 있다. 현대사회는 문화수준의 향상과 함께 삶이 윤택해지고 삶에 대한 개인적인 욕구가 높아지면서 여가생활의 필연성이 강조되고 있고, 여가스포츠를 통해 단순히 스트레스만을 해소하기 보다는 그것을 통해 교육의 기회를 제공받고자 한다. 또한 노인 여가스포츠 활동은 21세기에 요구되는 노인상, 즉 주체적인 노인, 생산적인 노인, 봉사하는 노인, 정보화된 노인, 통합적인 노인으로 노인의 정체성을 확립하기 위한 중요한 수단이 되어야 하고 여가스포츠를 체계적으로 제공하는 전문 여가스포츠 프로그램이 평생 교육적 차원에서 이루어져야 할 것이다. 그러므로 노인의 평생 교육적 차원으로써 여가스포츠는 건강증진과 사회성 함양, 그리고 자아실현과 함께 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 큰 의미가 있다고 할 수 있으며, 21세기가 요구하는 자립적인 생활을 영위하며 남에게 의존하지 않고 당당하게 독립적으로 살아가는 디지털 시대의 성공적인 신(新)노인상을 정립 하는데 큰 의미가 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest the preliminary data for the improvement of the senior centers' indoor environment and the upcoming progress located in rural areas. In wanju county, 81.8% of seniors were enrolled in senior centers, and used the facility everyday. Also, most of the users tended to use the facilities between 12 a.m. and 6 p.m. The majority of users had lunch at the senior centers. The facilities of most senior centers were in poor condition, and some had their restroom outdoor. Also, most senior centers are exposed to high concentrations of carbon dioxide during winter. During this season, the thermal environment in the restroom was bad. However, the users' level of the facilities' satisfaction was positive. Senior centers have been operating the facilities with difficulties, due to the low financial support from the local autonomous organization. The indoor temperature in most centers, especially, was above $30^{\circ}C$ during summer on account of lack of funding for airconditioning. Therefore, it could be recommended that the local autonomous entity start regular check-ups and repairs for the poor indoor environment and facilities, with more financial support and active supervision of the management.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a nursing assessment tool for senior center nurses, and to test its feasibility and content validity. Methods: The study utilized a psychometric test design. Preliminary items were developed based on geriatric health needs and Gordon's 11 domains of functioning health. Initially, the tool was evaluated for content validity and feasibility. Then, it was administered among 195 older adults in a senior center by a gerontological nurse practitioner. Data were analyzed to describe the nursing problems of the senior center older adults. Results: The final version of the nursing assessment tool consisted of 27 items. The internal consistency, measured with the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, was .74. The result of the assessment showed that senior center older adults had high nursing needs in the area of management of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and lipids), dental care, community relations, safety, elder abuse, health behaviors (such as drinking), mental health (depression, suicide, and cognitive function), and health consultations. Conclusion: The new tool was feasible for use with senior center participants, and it was evaluated as having high content validity by senior center nurses.

Due to recent changes in increased life expectancy, economic power and social development, the new senior generation (focusing on people in their fifties) represents a new market power with strong competitiveness. The new senior generation is the generation after the baby boomers, with characteristics that include a high-level of education, increased income, a high-level of consumption, increased assets, self-fulfillment desires and individuality. Demands in the senior fashion industry are expected to gradually increase and the underwear industry that targets the new senior generation is expected to grow rapidly. These demands will require product development for the new senior generation based on emotional and socio-cultural characteristics. The current new senior underwear market is under the process of R&D with a focus on body shape changes; however, there are limited studies on emotional and socio-cultural approaches. This study formulates a basic design plan for different age groups based on an analysis of the situation of bra wear (current inconveniences, demand and needs) by women in their fifties and over. Subsequently, a functional active bra top that considers activity and comfort was proposed for women in their fifties, an all-in-one foundation bra top that shapes the body was proposed for women in their sixties, and comfort bra tops that are comfortable and easy to put on and take off were proposed for women in their seventies and over.
