목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 70세 이상 노인이 거주하는 농촌지역 가정을 방문하여 집의 구조적인 문제와 거주자의 신체 건강 상태를 확인하고, 평가를 통해 농촌 주거공간내 안전생활을 진단에 따른 주거환경개선의 효과를 알아보고자 함이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2010년 농업기술센터 용역 사업으로 농촌노인 주거 공간 내 안전생활을 위해 진행되었다. 70세 이상 노 인이 거주하고 있는 농촌마을 2곳을 대상으로 총 25가구를 직접 방문하여 평가 후 주거환경을 개선하였다. 연구 기간은 2010 년 6월부터 11월까지 6개월간이었다. 작업치료학 전공자에 의해 대상 가구의 일반적 주거상태를 인터뷰 후 주거환경평가 체크리스트를 통해 주거공간 내 안전생활의 주된 문제점을 파악하였고 캐나다작업수행측정(COPM)을 이용하여 개선이 필요한 정도는 일상생활에서 어려운 점을 중요도로 평가하였으며, 개선 전후의 일상생활의 수행능력 정도는 수행도와 만족도를 측정 하였다. 결과 : 주거 공간 내 안전생활 진단 후 중재 결과 25가구에 총 170개의 보조도구가 지급되었고 1가구당 평균 6.8개의 보조도구 가 설치되었다. 그 중 설치 빈도가 가장 높았던 항목은 가스자동차단기, 안전손잡이로 각각 21개였고, 미끄럼방지처리, 실버카, 목욕의자 순이었다. 보조도구 지급 전 후 COPM 점수를 비교하였을 때 안전손잡이, 스텝박스(문턱 보조도구), 목욕의자와 좌 변기 안전지지대의 설치 후 수행도가 향상된 반면 만족도는 안전손잡이, 지팡이, 스텝박스, 실버카 순으로 향상되었다. 결론 : 농촌노인을 대상으로 주거 공간 내에서의 안전생활 문제를 도출한 후 주거환경개선을 실시한 결과 만족도와 수행도가 높았다.

목적 : 본 연구는 지역 사회에 바탕을 둔 재활프로그램의 한 모델로서 작업치료와 실내디자인의 전문가로 구성된 팀을 이루어 주거환경 개선으로 지체장애인의 일상생활 중재에 대한 실제를 알고자 함이다. 연구방법 : 대상은 청주 지역에 사는 버거병을 가진 46세의 남성과 뇌성마비를 지닌 37세 여성이다. 가정 체크리스트를 통해서 장애인에게 각각의 예후와 질병의 특성을 파악한 후 맞춤식 주택 개조를 제안하였고, M.B.I.로 일상생활 평가와 캐나다 작업수행 측정도구를 이용해서 작업수행을 평가하였다. 결과 : 대상자들은 주거환경 개선 후 일상생활에서 향상을 보였으나 통계적 의의는 없었고, 작업 수행과 작업수행만족도에서 의미 있는 변화가 있었다. 결론 : 팀 접근식 주거환경 개선 연구를 통해서 지역 사회에 거주하는 장애인에게 각 전문가의 전문적인 관리를 제공함으로써 독립적인 일상생활, 장애 예방, 작업 수행과 작업수행 만족도가 향상되었다. 추후 연구에서는 주거 환경 개선이 각 대상자의 특성과 상황을 고려한 중재 활동이기에 보다 객관적인 평가를 통한 질적 연구가 필요하리라 본다.

Living environments in rural area have become deteriorated rapidly. Increase of aging population, decline in agricultural income, polarization of wealth in rural community due to rural returners have caused severe decline and imbalance of living environments in rural area. Responding to this circumstances, governments currently develop projects for improving living environments focusing on individual housing which were excluded from governmental supports because those had been regarded as private property. Nevertheless, there are still some gaps and problems in evaluating the quality of living environment and suggesting effective solutions. It would be because standards and guidelines of the projects have been based on urban housing system. In order to support the implementation of the projects, this research has developed an index for evaluating and monitoring the quality of living environments in rural area. By applying Delphi method, the index has been created in four categories of ‘security’, ‘convenience’, ‘comfortability’, and ‘durability’ ‘Security’ consists of structural safety, crime, disaster, accident prevention. ‘Convenience’ includes three divisions of living, traffic, farm working. ‘Comfortability’ is divided into sanitation, indoor environments, and aesthetic appreciation. Lastly, ‘durability’ has four divisions of energy conservation, environmental friendliness, efficiency, and economics. Each sub-division also has different items from three to twelves. In the case of an index for performance evaluation, items have been derived from energy conservation(6-items), and environmental friendliness(7-items). Items developed as an index for evaluating rural living environments in this research might be good background information for remodeling project in rural housing development.

This study investigated the elements of soundscape in and around the traditional Korean style housing complex and the standardized Korean style housing complex popularized as farm village by Traditional Korean style housing assistance policy located in the rural area of Jeollanam-do. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon and characteristic differences of the sound environments in various observation points in order to utilize them as the important elements of sound scape to consider for standardized Korean style housing complex development in the future. As a result, the traditional housing in rural area led more positive evaluation of nature sounds than standardized, newly developed Korean style housing complex. In the list of noises in each residential development type, traffic sounds and construction noise were majorly ranked. However, nature sounds had high rate of response in the sounds of introduction request. Additionally, the sounds generated by human activities such as whispering and footsteps were also in the wish list. This may suggests that soundscape design needs to approach in cultural level of a society rather than simple investigation and treatment of individual sounds of natural and artificial.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate rural housing environment through evaluation of the two parties, public officials, the interest group and residents, the beneficiaries surveying general understanding and measuring difference in understanding between public officials and residents. Through the difference in understanding, this study was to propose effective promotion method and desirable direction of rural housing environment. For progress hereafter, by seeking active involvement of residents, this study proposed possible renewal plan of residential environment. Process of this study was first, research documents to examine several rural housing environment related promotions, and several analysis techniques like principal component analysis, multiple regression analysis used to understand different ideas Opinion of Public Officials and Inhabitants. Then take surveys of residents living in renewal zone, and surveys of public officials of borough, which already performed renewal projects to evaluate comprehensively as either residents' or administrators' view.

The aim of this study is to analyze the improvement of housing renewal project and suggest the conditions of rural housing environment filled with the resident's desire, requirements concerning about characteristics of a rural environment and temporal and social requirements. The project for improvement of rural housing environment has been executed in a few ways: reform of the rural housing environment and the development of territories for settlement of a desolate region. To analyze and assess the accomplishments, we considered codes and process related to the project for improvement of rural housing environment and analyzed present conditions and problems through many reference books and administrative data. According to these results, devices in future business for improvement of rural housing environment are as follows; It should required a rational allocation of working space, living space, cultural activity space suitable for rural area characteristics and changed into uniformed system in various projects governed by different institutions.

For the improvement of the cultural rural village(new rural village project), it is very important to find the various planning alternatives. The purpose of this study is to suggest the ideas which are able to be applied to the rural site planning. The YoungMoon project site located in Kyunggi province was selected case study, The followings are suggestions developed in the process of preparing an alternative plan for the case study. 1) The preparing of the rural site plan is the organizing process of the planning ideas responsive to the condition of both a project site and the project directions. 2) In developing the schematic plan, it is very useful to introduce the cluster madang (small public open space) including 25 houses as a basic planning unit. 3) In comparison with the project plan, the alternative plan presented by this study has advantages of amenity and public space of the residential environment of the new rural village. It is properly said that we have to more and more discuss the best solution to take in planning the rural site, and this efforts contribute the improvement of the quality of the new village project.
