| The increase of later elderly people due to ageing people draws the rising demand for the improved qualitative environment for the welfare of the elderly people on individual and social base. Therefore, not only the large and small public facilities of local provinces but also the private facilities that can meet for the demand and needs of the aged people more flexibly are encouraged to be changed. In accordance with this trend, this study intends to diagnose the design trend and the level of the domestic facilities for the elderly people through studying three leading facilities selected in Seoul Metropolitan area. This study was accomplished in SP facility in Seoul that was built later than 2004, S facility in S District that particularly focuses on welfare system for the elderly, and KH hospital that renewed its nursing facilities recognizing the importance of its environment. The survey method applied to each facility adopted the walk through evaluation method and collected data were analyzed by John Zeizel E-B concept model. As result of analysis, the 3 cases had their own well established environment based on their guidelines and directions. The 3 facilities revealed practical examples and levels of environmental design and how their residential environment can be created for treatment of the elderly people and betterment of their quality of life. Environmental design that used to put emphasis on model structures faces the necessity to challenge for creation of elderly friendly environment based on more scientific knowledge. From this viewpoint, this study will be regarded as a good example to find out the suitable direction of welfare facilities in future. |
