일본의 서비스제공 고령자주택에 관한 사례 연구

Abstract

A major topic in recent aging policies is the change in the paradigm of continuous community residence, which is shifting from ‘facility-oriented protection’ to ‘community-centered protection. This study aims to study the case of Service Attached Elderly Housing in Japan, which has been introduced and provided with a community care system before Korea, and explore implications for setting the space and service operation direction of Service Attached Elderly Housing in the future. The research method was to investigate the operation status and service contents of Service Attached Elderly Housing in Japan, and to analyze the spatial design characteristics by dividing the residential and public spaces into physical, psychological, and social characteristics of the elderly. The research results are as follows. In Japan, it can be seen that the number of “nursing care/dementia” type housing has been gradually expanding since the transition of the visiting care-centered policy centered on community residence in Japan. Basically, barrier-free design was applied to support accessibility, convenience and safety. Japanese service-provided elderly housing is a space where people live with their neighbors, not alone, while emphasizing individual privacy. It is characterized by seeking community exchange and connection with the community by providing various multipurpose spaces.
