Purpose : This study evaluates the effect of healthcare workers’ satisfaction of rest facilities on fatigue. Methods : The questionnaire was distributed to 23 hospitals; 333 people responded, of which 260 were subject to the final analysis, excluding 57 who did not have rest facilities at work and 16 insincere respondents. Results : Fist, the overall satisfaction of healthcare workers with rest facilities was 3.07 out of 5. Second, 72.7% of healthcare workers complained of fatigue. Third, it was found that the effect of satisfaction with rest facilities on fatigue was significant. Fourth, as a result of analyzing the effect of detailed satisfaction on fatigue in rest facilities, it was found that fatigue was affected in the order of temperature-humidity, cleanliness, ventilation, time for availability, lighting, noise, location, size of the rest area and equipment. Conclusion : As a result of this study, in order to reduce the fatigue of healthcare workers, it is necessary to prepare improvement measures to provide rest facilities to satisfy healthcare workers.

Purpose: This study was an analysis of the factors that affect the satisfaction level of the rest facilities in the workplace and the satisfaction level of employees. Methods: A survey was conducted among 906 workers in 150 enterprises. Results: The satisfaction levels of rest facilities were higher for younger ages, males, and upper management. The satisfaction levels of rest facilities were higher when the companies had 300 employees or more, 4 rest facilities or more, and the rest area signs were placed. The satisfaction levels of rest facilities were higher for the responses indicating improved work performances, feeling less tired, frequent visits to the rest facilities. Conclusion: It is necessary to increase satisfaction to the rest facilities at small and medium-sized businesses along with the number of rest facilities. Also, rest area signs should be placed to be easily seen. Employers need to let employees know that rest facilities help them improve their work performances and they will feel greater satisfaction to the facilities, even though they are very tired or hardly visit there.

Departmentalized class system was first introduced in 2009 as a pilot project and is now in operation at 806 schools representing 15% of the total of 5,383. According to the master plan of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, departmentalized class system will be introduced to all general high schools by 2012 and extended to all general middle-high schools by 2014. Eventually, the system will be introduced to 90% of all schools with the exception only of those having less than 6 classes located in small cities in rural areas. Under departmentalized class system, students need to move from classroom to classroom according to class timetable and areas where students can gather together, lounge around and do other things are required to be provided in addition to department classrooms. This necessitates concerns and support in providing rest and learning support facilities for students. This study has been undertaken to provide architectural data required in planning for rest and learning support facilities for schools operating departmentalized class system, by investigating and analyzing cases of rest and learning support facilities in use at schools operating the system in Chungbuk area. As departmentalized class system is increasingly introduced, rest and learning support facilities should be understood newly as spaces indispensable for students. Also, follow-on studies should be forthcoming continually to address such matters as transit of students, assembly /rest area and learning support facilities at schools adopting departmentalized class system.

구간과속단속은 순간통행속도와 평균통행속도를 측정하는 단속 시스템이다. 그러나 일부 구간은 휴게소와 같은 회피시설이 위치하여 운전자들이 이를 이용해 단속을 회피하고 있다. 회피시설은 평균통행속도를 의도적으로 조절하여 구간 내 과속이 발생하고, 캥거루 운전으로 안전을 위협할 수 있다. 이러한 문제로 단속의 실효성이 떨어진다는 문제점이 제기되었다. 이에 본 연구는 One-way ANOVA를 활용하여 구간과속단속 구간 내 회피시설이 포함된 구간, 포함되 지 않은 구간, 그리고 단속장비가 설치되지 않은 구간을 비교하여 회피시설이 단속에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 회피시설이 포함되지 않은 구간의 통행속도와 속도편차가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 3개 구간 간 유의미한 차이를 확인한 결과 회피시설이 포함된 구간과 일반구간은 통행속도와 속도편차가 유사한 수준으로 분석되었으나, 회피시설이 포함되지 않은 구간과는 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과는 구간과속단속 구간 내 회피시설이 포함된 경우 단속의 실효성이 떨어지며 단속을 시행하지 않는 구간과 유사한 것으로 확인되었다.

Section speed enforcement is a system that monitors the instant and average speeds of vehicles. In some areas, however, drivers exploit avoidance facilities such as rest areas to evade enforcement. These facilities allow drivers to deliberately adjust their average speed, resulting in speeding within the section and potentially causing dangerous "kangaroo driving" behavior, which undermines traffic safety. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding the effectiveness of the enforcement. This study used one-way ANOVA to compare sections with avoidance facilities, sections without such facilities, and sections without enforcement systems to analyze the impact of avoidance facilities on enforcement. The sections without avoidance facilities had the lowest travel speeds and speed variance. Significant differences were observed between the three sections. Sections with avoidance facilities had similar travel speeds and speed variances to general highway sections, while sections without avoidance facilities showed significant differences. These findings suggest that enforcement is less effective in sections with avoidance facilities, making them comparable to non-enforcement sections.

본 연구는 대한민국 경찰관서의 휴게시설과 훈련시설의 실태를 정량·정성적으로 분석하고, 현대 치안환경에 부합하는 공간 모델을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 경찰 조직은 교대근무, 고위험 상황 출동, 대민 스트레스 등 고강도 작업특성을 지니며, 이에 따라 회복 기반의 휴게환경과 체계적 대응훈련 환경의 필요성이 지속적으로 증가해 왔다. 그러나 대부분의 경찰서 건축물은 노후화, 면적 부족, 설계 기준의 미흡 등으로 인해 휴게시설·훈련시설의 절대적 부족 및 질적 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구는 전국 경찰관서를 대상으로 한 온라인 설문조사와 세 차례의 FGI(집단심층면접)를 수행하여 문제의 원인을 규명하고, 기존의 경찰서 건축기준 중 면적기준의 적절성을 검토하여 개선안을 도출하였으며 국내외 사례 분석을 바탕으로 휴게시설로서의 복지클러스터와 물리력 대응훈련장을 개발하였다. 연구 결과는 향후 경찰청의 청사 설계기준 개정 및 신축·개축 정책에 실질적으로 반영될 수 있는 근거를 제공하고자 하였다.

This study quantitatively and qualitatively analyzes the current state of rest and training facilities in police stations in South Korea and proposes a spatial model suited to the modern security environment. Police organizations are characterized by high-intensity work, including shift work, response to high-risk situations, and public stress. Consequently, the need for recovery-oriented rest environments and systematic response training environments has steadily increased. However, most police station buildings suffer from a severe shortage and qualitative limitations in rest and training facilities due to aging, insufficient floor space, and inadequate design standards. This study conducted an online survey and three Focus Group Interviews (FGIs) of police stations nationwide to identify the root causes of these problems. The study reviewed the appropriateness of the existing area standards in police station building standards and developed improvement measures. Based on an analysis of domestic and international case studies, the study developed a welfare cluster as a rest facility and a physical force training center. The findings are intended to provide a basis for practical implementation in the revision of the National Police Agency's building design standards and in new construction and renovation policies, space characteristics.
