| Background This study focused on diverse problems in society, the economy and regions because of the increasing number of elderly and changes in their lifestyles. This study investigated changes in lifestyles including the physical, physiological and psychological characteristics, hobbies, and the need for social activities. It is suggested that active intervention through design is needed to create higher value and to help people achieve living-friendly lives.
Methods This study analysed the results of previous studies on user-oriented convenience and environmental factors, as well as welfare services communication and considered consistent social exchanges and a bibliographical investigation, centering on the new-silver generation with wholly different characteristics from the existing elderly.
Result It was discovered that the ageing society requires design which satisfies self-realization through emotional value consumption and active self-development.
Conclusion This study suggests that design should be made for social members who are involved in senior support and help the new silver generation, a design for the society where the seniors belong. For tangible and intangible design elements to accommodate the aged and their living environment, design factors for the characteristic culture and emotions of the generation and for creation of important values should be improved. |
