현재 출산률 저하와 고령화로 인해 독거노인가구는 급격하게 증가하고 있으며 독거노인 고독사와 같은 사회문제가 증가하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 1990년대에 '실버타운'이 들어섰으나 여러 문제들이 대두되면서 보다 발전된 형태의 노인주거시설이 필요해졌다. 이에 기존 실버타운의 단점을 보완한 시니어 코하우징이라는 신진화된 대안의 새로운 주거형태가 등장했으며, 수요자들에게 각광받고 있다. 본 연구는 시니어 코하우징 트렌드 분석에 대한 연구이다. 시니어 코하우징과 실버타운의 개념 및 특징을 이론적으로 고찰하며, 문헌 조사와 국내외 시니어 코하우징 사례조사를 통해 시니어 코하우징의 방향성을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 시니어 코하우징을 단순히 거주자 선호에 의한 주거양식이 아닌 미래사회를 위한 새로운 주거 대안으로서 인식할 필요성 고찰과 아직은 도입단계에 있는 시니어 코하우징의 활성화를 위해서 한국의 상황에 적합한 시니어 코하우징의 유형에 대한 기초 연구로서 의의가 있다.

Since Korea has already become the 'aging society' and is expected to become the 'aged society' by 2019, development of the facilities and dedicated housing for the senior citizens have become the key issues. The growing population of the older people, changed in the social structure, family type, and the way of living brings a moment to consider the various aspects to support the older people. The purpose of this research is to analyze the interior color characteristics. Based on the research will provide a direction for color planning of elderly housing facilities in Korea. For this purpose, a field survey was conducted between October 17-21 in Japan. The research method employed was an empirical case study visiting 6 senior housing facilities in Japan, Osaka area. First, the brightness used in the senior housing facilities in Japan ranges from high value to low value while the chroma ranges from the middle chroma to low chroma. The warm colors of Y, YR and R are mainly used.

The purpose of this study is to propose prototypical plans for a dwelling unit applying the concepts of 'open housing' and 'aging in place' for senior citizens living in cities focusing on specific life patterns with chronic disease. Especially, a unit was designed for diabetes patients because diabetes, a representative disease of elderly people, often accompanies complications such as arthritis and Alzheimer disease. A unit design suitable for the convenient life of the elderly people with diabetes will provide a guideline for the similar unit designs of the senior citizens with other diseases. In this study, three types of unit plan are proposed. A-type plan is for type-1 diabetes patients, B-type alt.1 for the independent seniors of type-2 diabetes patients, and B-type alt.2 for the dependant seniors of type-2 diabetes patients. And a support design for a unit plan with the exclusive area of $60\;m^2$ is proposed. The same support design is used for all three unit types. Although the locations of bathroom and storage room are fixed and the location of the kitchen is changeable only in wet-zone. In conclusion, senior residents with diabetes can choose one of three unit types before occupation and the chosen unit type can be renovated by replacing infill systems as the health condition or life style changes.

Purpose: In our country, the aged population accounted for about 13% of the total population in 2018. In addition, it is expected to exceed 20% in 2026, entering an super-aged society. However, the senior welfare housing in Korea currently accommodates only 0.08% of the elderly population, and the increasing amount of the elderly population is very small. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the causes of supply shortages and to propose directions for revitalizing the supply of welfare housing for the elderly in the private sector. Methods: First, the causes and problems of the poor supply of welfare housing for the elderly were analyzed. Next, the direction was proposed through institutional and case-by-case surveys and expert interviews. Results: It suggested directions such as legal and institutional improvement, inducing the use of REITs, preparing policies to support consumers, allocating a certain percentage of senior welfare housing for the elderly in the reconstruction project, improving awareness of monthly living expenses, and re-discussing sales permits. Implications: Experts said that the direction proposed in this study can have a positive effect on supply activation. However, there were many opinions that re-discussion on permission for sales was necessary due to the excessive impact of the inability to sell. In addition, further research is needed for specific application of the proposed direction.
