노인 삶의 질 향상을 위한 노인요양시설 친환경 설계기법에 관한 연구 - 자연형 설계기법을 중심으로-

Abstract

최근 세계적으로 노인인구 급증으로 인한 노인시설의 중요성과 지구환경 문제의 심각성으로 친환경 건축물의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 현재 우리나라도 고령사회로 빠르게 진행되며 노인요양시설의 양적증가로 인해 수요에 대한 공급은 충족되지만 건축물의 질적 향상 및 노인 삶의 질 향상을 위한 노력은 부족한 실정이다. 이론적 고찰을 통해 알아본 노인요양시설에 필요한 친환경적 자연요소로는 빛, 공기, 식물이며, 이를 이용한 설계요소로 '자연채광', '자연환기', '자연경관'을 추출하였다. 결론으로 새로운 패러다임으로 대두된 친환경개념을 환경에 민감하게 영향을 받는 노인에게 더욱 중요한 개념으로 인식하고 앞으로 자연형 설계기법을 고려한 건축계획이 이루어져야 함을 제안한다.

Recently the importance of the elderly facilities and the eco-friendly buildings is on the rise, due to the rapid increase of the aged population and the more and more serious global environment issues, respectively. Thus, the purpose of this study is to suggest an eco-environmental improvement plan which aims to improve the quality of life for the aged in planning nursing homes hereafter by reviewing the theory of the eco-friendly architectural concept and the same conceptual design, which become the issues of late, and thus analyzing the state of applying the eco-friendly design techniques to the municipal nursing homes located in Seoul. In this study its direction of the eco-friendly design required in nursing homes was established by reviewing the characteristics which the aged and nursing homes may have, and thus extracting the elements required for the quality of life for them. The theoretical studies showed that the environment-friendly natural elements necessary for the nursing houses are light, air and plants, from which three design elements are obtained: daylighting, natural ventilation and natural landscape. In conclusion, the eco-friendly nursing homes must be planned to improve the quality of life for the aged by recognizing that the eco-friendly architecture concept, emerged as a new paradigm, is the one to be put before all the considerations for those who are sensitive to the environment, and thus reviewing the characteristics found out from them.
