The purpose of thesis is to concretely determine if there are public nuisances in the learning environment of elementary schools, and to subsequently obtain basic data for planning how to exclude such a nuisance. 6620 elementary school children in Korea have been evaluated to determine standing height, sitting height, sitting thigh length and sitting hip breadth, The results of the analysis of data are as follows:
(1) The desks and chairs used by elementary school children are generally high as compared with their physique. Namely, a higher desk than standardized height is present about 60% of the time in case of male students and about 70% of the time in the case of female students. The standardsize desks are in the 30% range in both sexes of a low school year and are about 10% range in both sexes of a high school year.
(2) In both sexes the chair size is generally low as compared with their physique. Namely, chairs lower than standardized size are used by about 50% of all the children. Standardized size chairs are about 25% range in low school year and 20% range in high school year in both sexes.
(3) It is concluded out that students will be fatigued by being scattered about in a learning posture which causes ill circulation of the blood, depending on the pressure of femur, tetanus of the lumbar vertebrae, side bending of the vertebrae, flat thorax, and other various damages, if chairs are low and desks are high.
(4) Standardization of chair and desk size suitable to the physique of children studying as a device for removing a public nuisance in the learning environment is outlined as follows table 6. It will apply to children in the 103cm-152cm range.
