Abstract

This study is a literature review analyzing the characteristics of biophilic design in health and welfare facilities for the elderly, children, and adolescents. Studies on biophilic design in such facilities were selected from two Korean databases. Eight studies were analyzed based on biophilic design elements, and the characteristics of biophilic design were compared between facilities for the elderly and those for children/adolescents. Elderly facilities exhibited more patterns of 'direct experience of nature' than their counterparts, while children/adolescents' facilities displayed more patterns of 'space and place experience' compared to facilities for the elderly. The pattern of 'indirect experience of nature' was similar for both the elderly and children/adolescents. We suggest utilizing more 'direct experience of nature' patterns, such as natural light and water, to reduce stress in vulnerable children and younger individuals. Additionally, incorporating more 'experience of space and place' patterns may help reduce stress and enhance the cognition of older individuals.

본 연구는 노인과 아동청소년을 위한 건강 및 복지시설의 바이오필릭 디자인 특성을 비교 분석하기 위해 시행된 문 헌연구이다. 한국교육학술정보원 데이터베이스에서 노인과 어린이, 청소년 건강 및 복지시설의 바이오필릭 디자인 관련 문헌을 선정하여 바이오필릭 디자인 요소별 빈도를 분석한 후 비교하였다. 노인시설 관련 문헌 네 개와 어린이 및 청소년 시설 관련 문헌 네 개를 분석한 결과, 노인시설의 '자연의 직접 체험'에 해당하는 바이오필릭 패턴이 아동청소년 시설보다 더 많았고, '공간과 장소 체험' 패턴은 아동청소년 시설이 더 많았다. '자연의 간접체험' 패턴은 노인시설과 아동청소년 시설이 유사하였다. 건강 및 복지시설을 이용하는 취약아동의 스트레스 감소를 위해 '자연의 직접체험' 패턴을 더 많이 활용할 것과 노인의 스트레스 감소 및 인지강화를 위하여 '공간과 장소 체험' 패턴을 더 많이 활용할 것을 제안한다.
