본 연구는 노인의 야외활동 증진을 위해 고령화가 심각한 중국 산둥성 쯔보시의 도시공원을 대 상지로 노인활동에 적합한 식재경관 조성지표를 탐색·도출하는데 목적이 있다. 객관적이고 적 합한 지표를 설정하기 위해 문헌 고찰, 현장 설문조사, 현장조사를 통해 노인들의 생리적·심리 적 특징, 노인들의 공원 이용특징과 식재경관 의식, 노인 활동공간 내 식재의 의한 공간구성 특 징과 주요 식재수종 및 선호 경관 등을 파악하고 이에 따른 도시공원 노인활동에 적합한 식재경 관을 파악하였다. 그리고 조경식물과 이들 집합체인 식재경관의 기능과 관련된 선행연구를 토 대로 41개 식재경관 지표 후보군을 도출하였다. 적합한 식재경관 조성지표를 선정하기 위하여 전문가 조사를 3회 실시하였다. 조사분석 결과, 전문가의 의견을 근거하여 치유식물과 방향성 식물, 계절에 따라 변화하는 식물의 배치와 사계절 경관, 새를 유인하는 식물과 관과식물 비율, 산소 방출량이 높은 식물과 식물의 공기정화는 통합되었고 교목의 단식을 추가하였다. 중요도 평균값, 내용 타당도, 수렴도, 합의도 등의 분석결과, 방충식물, 식물의 표지기능 등 2개 지표가 중요도 평균값 낮으므로 제외되었다. 식물의 방풍·통풍성, 친근한 식물, 흥미로운 식재, 상록식 물과 낙엽식물의 비율 등 4개 지표가 기준에 부합하지 않아 제거되었다. 최종적으로 조경식물과 이들 집합체인 식재경관의 기능이 표현된 식재경관 조성지표 32개가 선정되었으며, 노인들의 야외활동 증진을 위한 공원설계 및 관리에 필요한 정보와 자료를 제공하는데 연구의의가 있다.

Seniors have more economic power, leisure time and better health compared with the past; in addition, there with increased social activity opportunities that allow for active and independent consumption activities based on their economic independence. Therefore, the silver industry for elderly consumers is buoyant in the development of product planning and marketing strategies that target seniors. It is necessary to know the exact characteristics of advanced age along with feet studies that provide basic information on the shape of shoes; however, there are few studies on elderly men's feet. This study develops a shoe sizing system for elderly men based on previous studies which analyzed the aspects of sole shape for individuals aged 60 or over. The distribution on KS G 3405 (2001) was examined and basic items were selected based on a correlation analysis of items related to foot shape. The measurement interval was based on KS and cross analysis was conducted for basic items to select an interval which indicated a frequency of more than 5% by type with a measurement system established by type. The results of the study are as follow. A sizing system was developed with an interval of 5 mm for foot length, an interval of 3 mm for the circumference of the top of the foot and an interval of 6 mm for the circumference of the top of the foot within the same foot length standard to develop a shoe sizing system for elderly men. The respective sizing systems in accordance with type were developed and 12 types of sizing systems were suggested for elderly men to reflect characteristics by type. The differences in sizing system were compared by combining sizing systems by type of sole for elderly men. Type H consists of the greatest number of foot length sections using 7 sections of foot length at 235-265 mm, Type A consists of 6 sections of foot length at 240-265 mm and Type V and D consist of 6 sections of foot length at 235-260 mm. The circumference of the top of the foot has 7 sections from C to F; Type H and A consist of C-EEEE and Type V consists of 6 sections of D-F, and Type D consists of 5 sections of D-EEEE. Type H and A include the sections of small circumference of the top of the foot; however, Type V includes the sections of large circumference of the top of the foot and Type D includes the section of small foot length and a large circumference that indicated differences between type. Type H, subtype 1 (the frontal part of the foot is high and the central part of the foot is low) and 2 (the frontal part of the foot is low and the central part of the foot is high) shows the distribution of size appellation in the sections of C-D where the circumference of the top of the foot is smaller than subtype 3 (the frontal part of the foot is low and the central part of the foot is low) that indicated that the size table is suggested with the reflection of size appellation only for Type H of small width and large height. Appellations are classified in accordance with 3-dimensional type in the section less than 240 mm of foot length. Type V show the same distribution of the appellation (including the section of D-EEE) for all the three types, except for a part of the section of 260 mm. The size appellations of subtypes 2 and 3 are distributed in section F, which indicates the formative characteristics of the foot with a large width or height. Type A has differences in appellation distribution between 3-dimensional types; subtype 2 is distributed in the small circumference section and indicates that Type A has the foot shape with a small width and high height. The distribution of size appellation of subtypes 3 and 1 with the section of large circumference suggests that subtype 3 of Type A (the foot shape with the largest width) has no large foot length and subtype 1 has a large foot length. Type D has differences in appellation among three subtypes, but all of them are included in subtype 1 and suggests that the subtype 1 sizing system can be used. The results indicate that a shoe sizing system for elderly men by foot type could improve the suitability of shoes and provide a wider range of size and satisfaction that helps shoe makers produce shoes of various purpose and function for seniors.
