Recently, as the Hantan River Geopark has been certified as a UNESCO Global Geopark, interest in Geopark is increasing domestically and internationally. In Korea, a total of 13 national geoparks have been designated across the country, but there are no dedicated information centers for this purpose except for the Hantan River Geopark Center. These geopark information centers are not only just for preservation of geological heritage, but also as a base facility that can revitalize the local economy through tourism resources called geoparks, and amid the current trend of pursuing regional-specific youth facilities. It has the meaning as a very meaningful youth experience-learning facility using the geological resources of Korea. At the time when additional construction of geopark information centers having various meanings and architectural studies for this are urgently required, in this study, through investigation and analysis of cases of similar facilities, it is essential in the early stages of designing geopark information centers. It has been tried to derive the appropriate value of the necessary space program. The results of this study are judged to be able to be used as meaningful data to some extent despite the limitations derived in the circumstances where existing cases and related data are absolutely insufficient, and it is expected to be further supplemented through follow-up studies based on sufficient cases in the future.

This study was performed to suggest an analysis model searching for an optimized location of a multi-cultural center to support the fair use of multi-cultural facilities. The spatial boundary of this study was Daegu-city. The location data regarding bus-stops, subway stations, and residential areas, and the number of multi-cultural families’ children were used for the analysis. Based on the data refined in Geographic Information System, each node was evaluated as per each variable. The proposed analysis model using the evaluation result was to suggest five candidate spots for architectural planning. The central urban areas with easy access conditions were suggested as the optimized location for the facility. In addition, it is required to establish facilities in areas with a large number of multi-cultural students and the importance of public transportation. The analysis model did not select the area which showed a high populational ratio of multi-cultural children and low transportation accessibility. This area needs support from consignment facilities.

In this situation of worldwide psychological difficulties due to the spread of COVID-19, this study set out to develop a dual mode group art therapy program of both contact and non-contact modes according to the contact limits and test its effectiveness to provide college students with psychological supports. The subjects include 23 college students that gave consent to participate in the study in K City. They were divided into the treatment group of eight and the control group of fifteen. A program of total ten sessions was administered over five weeks. Both the treatment and control group took an ego-resilience and emotional expressiveness test in the pre- and post-test. An independent-sample t-test was conducted to analyze differences before and after therapy. The findings were as follows: first, the dual mode group art therapy program had positive effects on the ego-resilience of college students; secondly, the program also had positive effects on their emotional expressiveness; thirdly, the qualitative analysis of participants’ impressions revealed that the factors that led to the change in the art therapy process were ‘use of cognitive process’, ‘discovery of image and emotional message of the person who painted’, ‘development of a sense of control’. and finally, the dual mode of contact and non-contact facilitated interactions among the participating students. They marveled at new attempts and experienced immersion into strange experiences through their digital imagination, and these had impacts on their satisfaction with the program. Based on these findings, the study discussed utilization plans for the contact & non-contact group art therapy program and future researches.

This study aims to flexibly respond to changes in the educational environment, focusing on the type of effective curriculum and facility operation for core educational competencies, and enables communication and cooperation of users for various classes and grades. The purpose is to establish an integrated school construction plan suitable for future competency education. This study is meaningful in exploring efficient management plans of elementary and middle integrated schools that reflect the specificity of large-scale apartment development in urban development districts. Therefore, this study should consider the following items through planning an integrated school. First, it is necessary to plan so that spatial separation and integration are appropriately achieved by zoning the joint utilization area, centering on the unity of facilities and independent areas through the separation of facilities by school level. Second, it is planned to operate the curriculum of integrated activities and exchange students through mutual exchange spaces and common spaces for each school level. Third, community revitalization spaces such as gymnasium, cafeteria, and library that are integrated with facilities to lead to a fully integrated school are located in the center of the teacher building, so exchange with local communities and accessibility of members such as students and teachers need to be considered. Fourth, it should be planned in consideration of the architectural characteristics of the integrated school curriculum operation and facility types discussed above in consideration of urban context.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the research trends of ADHD child and adolescent interventions conducted in Korea. Through this, it will be re-examined in various research areas such as educational support, medical support, and family support for the quality of life of individual children and adolescents with ADHD, and it is meaningful to be an indicator of future research. Through the keyword network analysis of 307 papers in domestic academic journals, the frequency of appearance, center of connection, and TF-IDF index were derived and the flow of research trends by period was to be understood. TEXTOM and UCINET were used to analyze the data collected in this study. As a result of the study, ADHD child and adolescent intervention-related papers have been published the most since 2010 and are on a continuous increase. A lot of research has been conducted through research topics to address attention deficit, the main symptom of ADHD children and adolescents or to improve problem behavior. It is confirmed that the studies from 1992 to 2000 were centered on studies conducted through parental training aimed at hyperactivity. Studies from 2001 to 2010 show that art therapy and social skills training were widely used as intervention methods for behavioral intervention of ADHD children and adolescents. Finally, studies from 2011 to 2020 can confirm that the number of studies on adolescents with ADHD has increased.
