도심형 실버타운 내 주거공간에서의 감성디자인 적용방법에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this moment, our country is exposed to lots of problem, caused by rapid increase in aging population. Because of enhancing economic ability and the changes in public attitudes, current old people are turning into the independent class that can do their own activity. However, elderly care facilities established in these social movements are developed without the consideration of elderly characteristics. If this situation goes on, elderly’s physical atrophy will cause the social problems like feeling left-out, or sense of losing their roles. Especially in their residential space, where they spend most of their time, the emotional support considering elders" characteristics is required essentially. Therefore, we studied to maintain the elderly’s sociality by providing physical, and emotional stability, based on the fundamental understanding of functionality and safety in elders" residential space. Furthermore, we tried to find more effective design strategies, which could be adapted to elderly care facilities by analysing the emotional design elements.
