As industrialization progresses and environmental pollution problems increase, the incidence of environmental diseases such as atopic diseases is increasing, and this problem is becoming more serious. This environmental disease, which is most vulnerable in infancy and adolescence, can be prevented through lifestyle improvement and early education, so the education needs to be strengthened. Ironically, most of the educational programs to prevent environmental diseases in Korea are in suburban areas with poor accessibility, making it especially difficult for infants and toddlers to access. It is ideal for teenagers to visit suburban facilities to receive education to prevent environmental diseases, but it is difficult for domestic teenagers to visit facilities due to lifestyle and academic problems. The proportion of youth training centers in Korea has been increasing since 2008, but the utilization rate is quite low, with 52.4% of all adolescents having never encountered youth training centers. It is expected that environmental disease prevention education will be introduced as a youth living area by utilizing spaces with low utilization rates to prevent environmental diseases and increase the utilization rate of youth training centers.
