본 연구는 국내·외 가정환경수정 관련 정책들을 살펴봄으로써 'Aging In Place; AIP' 실현을 위한 국내 가정환경수정 관련 제도의 방향성과 가정환경수정 전문가로서 작업치료사에게 요구되는 역량에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 국내 가정환경수정 분야의 확장과 작업치료사 역량 강화를 위해 가정환경수정의 설계와 중재 실현이 반영된 명확하고 실질적인 가정환경수정 프로세스 확립이 요구되며, 거주인의 구체적인 필요와 요구를 파악하는 평가와 국내 주택 유형의 특성을 반영한 가정환경 평가도구의 적절한 선택 및 표준화 과정이 필요하다. 또한 정책과 제도에 대한 이해 및 타 분야 전문가와의 소통·협력을 위한 관련 지식 기반 구축을 위해 노력해야 할 것이다. 제도적 측면에서는 기존의 저소득층, 장애인 중심으로 시행되었던 주택개조 지원제도에서 저소득 고령자를 포함하여 소득 수준에 관계없이 고령자가 자신의 노화에 적응해 갈 수 있는 주택개조 지원제도가 필요하다. 더불어 국외 사례에서와 같이 베리어프리(Barrier Free) 주택개조 지원제도와 정부와 지자체의 협력을 통한 지원범위 확대, 저리 융자와 조세 감면, 환경수정 서비스 관련 단체 및 기관들의 거버넌스 구축 등 다양하고 효율적인 방안 마련을 위해 노력할 필요가 있다.
