    Can Residents Access Leisure Spaces in Our City: Investigating the Leisure Space Distribution in Seoul, South Korea

    No full text
    The preferred spaces for leisure activities across all age groups in Seoul, South Korea, and the age inclusiveness of leisure spaces during the COVID-19 were investigated. The accessibility and distribution preferences for leisure facilities of different generations are investigated as aspects of leisure space age inclusiveness. One-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, boxplot analysis, and GIS mapping were applied. The cost, time, and importance of leisure significantly differ by generation. Additionally, leisure space preferences differ by age group. A discrepancy in the distribution of age-inclusive leisure spaces by generation and district is revealed. The land value of a district relates to the distribution of age-inclusive leisure space. Planners and policymakers can use these findings to promote socially age-inclusive communities that support ‘aging in place’ and leisure spaces for all generations, thereby promoting the health of all residents. However, it is essential to note that this study has limitations arising from the COVID-19

    The Role of Healthcare Facility Design on the Mental Health of Healthcare Professionals: A Literature Review

    No full text
    OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review and synthesize the empirical evidence about the connection between healthcare facility design and the mental health of healthcare professionals by reviewing the relevant literature. BACKGROUND: Mental exhaustion of healthcare professionals is becoming a critical issue in healthcare, especially during the pandemic. The physical design of healthcare facilities has significant potential to reduce and prevent the mental exhaustion of healthcare professionals by removing environmental stressors and providing restorative experiences. However, the built environment is not fully utilized as an intervention to support healthcare professionals. METHODS: Relevant articles were identified from the Medline, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science databases using a combination of search terms representing environmental design factors and health outcomes. Identified articles were reviewed by their titles, abstracts, and full texts using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: The search yielded 27 empirical articles investigating the relationships between environmental design factors and staff mental health outcomes, including stress, fatigue, job satisfaction, burnout, and well-being. Healthcare design aspects that were investigated in the identified articles include overall facility and perception (e.g., aesthetic appeal and impression, belonging to the surroundings, safety), specific spaces (e.g., patient area, staff workspace), intangible elements (e.g., exterior view, light, sound), and interior space and ergonomics (e.g., material finishes, furniture). CONCLUSIONS: Through the synthesis of the current literature regarding the relationships between healthcare facility design and the mental health of healthcare professionals, this study provides implications for supporting healthcare professionals through the design of the healthcare facility

    Optimal Power Management for Nanogrids Based on Technical Information of Electric Appliances

    No full text
    A novel power management for nanogrids is presented. In this paper, effect of resident location in residence is taken into account for evaluation of power consumption in nanogrids. Depending on the resident location, operating conditions of heater, ventilation fan, and air-conditioner are adjusted. Electric appliances that allow delayed use, i.e., shiftable, are scheduled for efficient power management. Considering massive deployment of energy storage system (ESS) as a supplementary power source, effect of the ESS on power management is investigated. Demand response program for reduced electricity cost is also considered for power management. As a result, an objective consisting of power consumed by non-shiftable and shiftable electric appliances, power supplied/consumed by the ESS during discharging/charging, and time-varying electricity cost is formulated. Another objective for power management is a function of delays in scheduling of shiftable electric appliances. Variation of resident location combined with temporal use of electric appliances according to the resident location are considered as the resident behavior and incorporated into these two objectives. Using these two objectives, a multi-objective optimization is performed for nanogrids at each time interval. It is demonstrated by simulations that leveraging resident behavior is beneficial for power management of nanogrids. In addition, effects of the number of residents in each apartment and combined activity of each resident on the power management are presented with related simulation results. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
