효율성과 생산성을 중시하는 최근의 사회구조적 특성으로 인해 여성장애인들은 ‘장애’와 ‘여성’이라는 이중적 소외와 차별을 경험하고 있다. 즉 여성장애인은 성차별 의식 속에서 여성이라는 문제와 경쟁적인 구조 속에서 장애라는 문제를 함께 안고 살아가고 있는 것이다. 이들은 복지서비스에 대한 높은 욕구를 가졌음에도 불구하고 상대적으로 불평등한 위치에 처해 있다. 따라서 여성장애인들의 인간다운 삶과 존재의 가치를 높이기 위해서는 여성장애인의 문제를 이해하고, 그러려면 이들이 처한 구체적인 현실과 경험을 토대로 한 접근이 우선적으로 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 여성장애인의 전 생애 중 전반적으로 삶의 질 자체에 영향을 주는 요인을 크게 경제적, 교육적, 가정적, 성적 문제 중심으로 분류하여 여성장애인의 생활실태를 중점적으로 분석해 보았다. 여성장애인은 이 네 가지 영역에서 전반적으로 생활상의 차별을 경험하는 문제를 안고 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 무엇보다 심각한 현상은 낮은 교육수혜로 인해 직업훈련과 취업기회를 가질 수 없으며, 이로 인해 경제적인 어려움을 겪고 있으므로 독립적인 생활을 유지하기 힘들다는 점이다. 그래서 여성장애인을 위한 지원정책도 살펴보고, 이에 대한복지증진적인 과제를 제시해 보았다.

본 연구는 한국사회에서 최근 급격히 증가하고 있는 국제결혼여성들에 대하여 미디어가 어떻게 재현하고 있으며, 이러한 점들을 수용자들은 어떤 의미로 해독하고 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 우리사회에서 가장 대중적 소구력을 지닌 텔레비전 프로그램 중, 공영방송 KBS가 제작한 <러브 인 아시아>를 분석하였다. 또한 수용자 연구를 위해 2009년 12월부터 2010년 2월까지 방영된 프로그램 12편을 선정하여, 프로그램의 포맷과 내용들을 살펴보고, 실험연구를 통해 수용자들의 반응과 함께 그 의미를 파악하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 이 프로그램은 국제결혼여성을 초창기 방영분보다 ‘능력 있는 이주여성’, ‘가정에서 꼭 필요한 존재로서의 여성’으로 재현함으로써 인종주의적 타자성을 강화하고 있다. 더불어 이주여성의 현재의 삶과 과거 고향에서 삶의 체험현장의 재현을 통해 이산인의 문제를 제기하여 공론화하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 이산의 아픔에 대해 운명적 사랑으로 극복하는 낭만적인 멜로드라마식 이야기로 전개하는 방식은 이산의 문제를 올바르게 인식시키는데 장애가 되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이산인에 대한 올바른 ‘정체성’의 재현을 위해 오락적 요소를 배제하고 객관적으로 접근함으로써 프로그램의 진정성과 신뢰도를 제고할 수 있음을 발견하였다. 한편 수용자들은 이 프로그램의 진실성, 기획의도에 대한 적절성, 이산인에 대한 친근감을 비교적 긍정으로 평가하고 있으며, 이산인의 ‘정체성’에 대해서도 그동안 자신들의 편견에 대한 반성과 인식변화의 필요성을 제기하는 등 선의적 시각을 보이고 있었다. 따라서 이산이라는 사회적 이슈를 이해하고 포옹하는 소통의 장으로서 텔레비전 프로그램의 활용 가능성을 재인할 수 있었다.

The common features of the materials were ‘smooth’, ‘thin’ and ‘light weight.’

中國因爲在社會主義時期不能形成眞正的女性話語，所以新時期開始了，很快就恢復了以男性爲主的秩序，女性的社會作用與地位狹小了，對女性的視覺與認識也退步了。這些現實可以通過電影裏的女性形象看出，隨着新時期的進展，女性從公共領域移到私人領域，淪爲性慾的對象。從性與性別的角度來看，可以分成三種類型:性別的共有與性的恢复、性別的交叉與性的顚覆、性別的固定與性慾的强調。就是说，進入新時期，女性恢復了自己的性，而被該完成男女性別的壓迫感受到痛苦。女性屬於公共領域同时被母親的作用受壓迫。政治領域也變成個人和經濟領域，從此可以看到消弱國家意識形態而逐漸重視物質條件的社會變化。另外,女性在發揮男性作用之時穿男裝而在發揮女性作用之時穿女裝，就展示性別的交叉與性的顚覆的形態。這在區分男女和按照性規定性別，表現爲徹底阻擋女性的社會活動和造成性認同的混亂。前两類是給女性許容她們出入性和性別的範圍，而性別的固定與性慾的强調這類型意味着女性只能遂行女性作用，女性爲男性存在。所以强調對女性的性慾。另外這些女性塑造爲坏女人的形象，這也就是反映女性成爲性的消費對象，同時反映女性的成長。可是爲了纠正新時期以后重返的以男性爲主的秩序，女性找到自己眞正的座位，就需要和中國社會的發展一起，應該形成眞正的女性話語和進行對女性問題的認眞的摸索。

This research aims at developing the dress form for the aged women based on their body shapes using the three-dimensional body scan data with the body shape categorization(according to the previous research). To accomplish this goal, the sample group of representative body shape of the 50% of median was selected by using the high frequency proportion range of each type of body shape of the aged women, and the sample group of representative body shape of each type was averaged in a three-dimensional way by using the morphing method of a three-dimension reverse-engineered software. RP in the form of torso was produced based on the shape data of the final model and the data was formed into an actual object, by which an aged women’s dress form model was drawn out. The differences of the girth of the bust, hip and waist between the developed dress form model and the existing dress form model were examined. The result showed that the developed dress form had a bigger size of waist girth than that of bust and hip girth, compared to the existing dress form, which shows that it reflects the aged women’s tendency of abdomen obesity, so it’s expected to be more proper for the human bodies of the targeted age group than the existing dress form. These research results may help design the clothing suitable for the body shape of the aged women so that their demand for the clothing of good fit will be satisfied in the future.

As a preliminary research of body characteristics analysis of Korean obese woman, this study aims to select optimal obesity judgment tools for reliable sampling of obese subjects from 2,425 female measurement data out of 2004 Size Korea project’s raw data. From previous researches related to obesity, 7 obesity judgment tools were chosen. 2007 obesity rate(26.3%) of Korean female adults was refered in selecting optimal obesity judgment criteria in the study. The results are as follows. Firstly, it was verified that BMI was the most suitable in judging and sampling the obese subjects by the percentile analysis. Röhrer index was also reliable in grouping the obese subjects from a population. Secondly, it was concluded that the obesity ratios of relative weight 120 and higher group, Röhrer index 1.6 and higher group and waist girth 80cm and higher group were the most similar to obesity rate of Korean female adults by 2007 National Health & Nutrition Survey. Thirdly, 30 direct measurements, age, 2 drop values and 6 ratios of 7 groups by the obesity judgment tools showed the significance each other at p<0.001 level. On the other hand, “bust point to bust point” and “waist to hip length” measurements didn’t show the significant differences among 7 groups. Conclusively, 4 to 5 satisfactions out of 7 obesity judgment criteria were adequate and sufficient in sampling the obese subjects. If it is needed the strict criteria for judging the obesity, 5 satisfactions and higher group will be the best choice as the obese subjects. However 4 satisfactions and higher group generally, will be adequate for sampling of the obese subjects.

The purpose of this study is to classify body shapes of aged women by using 3D body scan data. For the body shape analysis and classification, 3D body scan data of 270 aged women were used, and 16 main measurements consisting of a human body were used to conduct factor analysis, cluster analysis and discriminant analysis. The analysis were performed on all ‘the method using the absolute value’, ‘the method using index of height and weight’, and ‘the method using index of height,’ and according to the classification results, the method which categorizes body shapes best in terms of their shapes was adopted. As the factor analysis result using the numerical value of height to categorize the body shapes of the aged women, factor 1 was the thickness and width for the height, factor 2 was the height of the upper part of the body for the height, factor 3 was the height of hips for the height, and factor 4 was the height of belly for the height. When the body shapes were categorized with the deducted factors as variables, they were divided into two types. Type 1 was a short and fat body shape(▅ type) and 55.6% of the subjects were of this type. Type 2 was for the body shape whose vertical height, including weight, was long but all kinds of width and thickness were small, that is, tall and thin body shape(▋ type), and 44.4% of the aged women were in this case.

The purpose of this study was to observe street fashion, to determine preferred design of jean and to analyze preferred jean styling based on types of jean pants design, toward 20s to 30s women. We observed outfits of jean styles on the street using photography method and conducted a survey to 400 females to get information of consumers. Four hundred questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS. As a result of street research, the majority of people were wearing jean pants with T-shirts, sandal/high heel shoes and totes. The results of market research showed that preferred jean styles were significantly associated with age and marital status. Preferred color of jean pants was also significantly associated with age variable. Current popular jean style was a skinny style. We evaluated results of styling with different jean pants, creating five different images. There was a significant relationship between age/marital status and styling image in different jean styles. In a bootcut style, age variable was significantly associated with different styling images. Generally, most of people responded cute/casual image styling was the best for the bootcut style. In skinny pants, there was a significant association between a residence area and a styling image. Modern/chic image styling with skinny pants was the most favored one. In cropped jean pants, marital status was significantly associated with styling image created. We realized that we can create different images through a styling.

This study aims to analyze contemporary women's sense of fashion aesthetic by looking into the design and trend of T-panties, which have now carved out a new niche in the world's 21st century female underwear markets. By this, I'd like to reassure readers of the importance of T-panties, which has only been recently recognized, and more generally suggests the future direction of prominent T-panty design development. First, western urban chic, Japanese minimalism and domestic modern feminine images all have common modern urban sense and simple designs. However, each image is not a simple image in itself. For example, in the case of western style they often seek to convey a sophisticated and stylish street sense, while Koreans add a more cute, lovely, and feminine touch. Second, western restrained eroticism, Japanese fetishism and domestic mono-bosom images all have a common interest in sex. They is something, however, which they all express this differently. In Japan, they prefer a stimulating image. In the West, however, this is restrained by controlling and limiting overt sexual elements, while in Korea, we seek to capture a more simple sensual beauty. Third, western couture luxury, Japanese orientalism and Korean utopia narcissism have classy images in common including splendid materials and decorations with embroidery. They all differ depending on their nationality. This study is baseds on the documents study. This study is baseds on the documents study.

This study is to classify the shape of the body by means of the drop value of the middle-age women. Drop value is based on the circumstances of the body deciding the dimentions of the clothes. Therefore, the study based on the drop value seems to decided the measurement of the clothes in making mass production of ready made clothes. In order to put measure items on this study of the value on 'The fifth survey of body measure of Korean', select 785 people in middle-aged women aged from 40 to 59. And considering the characteristic of upper-drop and lower-drop, and swelling belly by accumulated fat, selected five items(Bust Circumstance - Waist Circumstance, Hip Circumstance - Waist Circumstance, Hip Circumstance - Bust Circumstance, Waist Circumstance(Omphalion) - Waist Circumstance, Hip Circumstance - Waist Circumstance(Omphalion)). The result of the study is summarized as follows. Type 1, M type of the body showed the distribution of 32.5% and belonged to low body development style. The line of human body is the nearest of the four bodies in middle-age woman out of whole shapes of 4 types and the line of human body is close to middle-age woman. Type 2, X type of the body showed the distribution of 40.8% and the line of human body remarkably showed. Type 3, H type of the body showed the distribution of 12.4% and the line of human body appears least. This group was larger than any other group in having more fat in the belly above the circumstance of the hip than other groups. Type 4, Y type of the body showed the distribution of 14.4%. This type was upper half of body development style, waist was slender, and there was seldom the bend around the circumstance of belly and hip.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of weight control programs on BMI, serum profiles, nutrition knowledge and eating behaviors of adult obese women. The subjects of this study were 33 adult obese women aged 30- 65 years residing in Seoul. The weight control program for obese women included nutritional education, cognitive behavioral therapy and exercise for 12 weeks. The weight control experience of the subjects was 60.6%. They preferred physical exercise and diet restriction to weight control and 72.7% of subjects answered that the reasons for wanting to control their weight was health. The BMI of test subjects significantly decreased (p<0.001) from 28.3 to 27.1 after the 12 weeks of the weight control program. In addition, the % body fat significantly decreased (p<0.001) from 36.4% to 34.5% after completion of the weight control program. SGPT levels in the serum were also significantly decreased (p<0.05) after the program. Triglyceride levels significantly decreased from 194.9 mg/dL to 98.1 mg/dL (p<0.01) and the HDL cholesterol level significantly increased (p<0.01) from 55.8 mg/dL to 60.0 mg/dL after completion of the weight control program. Nutritional knowledge and eating behavior scores were significantly increased (p<0.001). In addition, the eating self-efficacy of the subjects was significantly increased (p<0.01); however, the food diversity scores were not changed after the program. These results suggest that the weight control program for adult obese women may be effectively used to promote weight reduction and improve nutritional knowledge and eating behavior.

To determine the relationships between soybean food intake, dietary isoflavone intake, and osteoporosis incidence, questionnaire surveys, bone mineral density measurements, and dietary surveys by food record were performed with 19 postmenopausal women (57.6±7.3 yrs of age) in Daejeon city. The subjects were divided into two groups: an ‘osteoporosis group’ (OG, n=10) and a ‘normal group’ (NG, n=9). Mean age, height, and body weight were similar between the two groups but BMI was higher in OG than in NG. Mean age at menarche was not different between the two groups. However, mean number of childbirths was greater in OG than in NG and mean total period of lactation was shorter in OG. Mean exercise time per week was similar between the two groups, and mean time of sunlight exposure tended to be shorter in OG. Mean daily intake of calcium was lower in OG whereas sodium intake was higher in OG. Mean daily intakes of total soybean food (OG: 203.8±84.6 g/d, NG: 285.0±146.3 g/d) and total dietary isoflavone (OG: 29.1±14.3 mg/d, NG: 38.3±23.1 mg/ d) were not different between the two groups. However, greater intakes of soybean food and dietary isoflavone were associated with higher bone mineral density, respectively. The above results indicate that osteoporosis incidence tends to be influenced by BMI, maternal factors, dietary nutrient intakes, soybean food intakes, and dietary isoflavone intakes in postmenopausal women; although no significant differences in soybean food and dietary isoflavone intake were found between the two groups. This tendency implies that greater intakes of soybean food and dietary isoflavone lead to lower incidence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
