In Korea, multi-functional senior residential complexes have become very popular since the end of 1990 by integrating the functions of nursing homes and health care facilities, so that the elderly can maintain their regular healthy life and receive health care when needed depending on their aging stage. Accordingly, it is increasingly important to conduct research on such multi-functional residential facilities. In this study, 6 cases of Korean senior residential complexes and 6 cases of comparable Japanese facilities, which were built earlier than Korea, are compared, and the following results are derived from the comparison. 1. In terms of the shared space, the parallel type and the unified type are found to share more space among complex types. Especially, the low-story concentration type and the eccentric type are found to share space the most. 2. In Korea, an average shared rate is found to be 46.8%; and the rates of a supplied-space, a common-shared-space, and a maintenance-space are found to be 29.73%, 36.33%, and 32.93%, respectively. In Japan's case, an average shared space is found to be 22.31%; and the corresponding rates for the above 3 spaces.
