Compared with a lot of comprehensive and alternative studies on elderly housing facilities until now, specialized studies of dimensional and detailed standards have hardly made. Therefore we intends to examine the status of bathroom planning on representative elderly housing facilities in Korea. As the methods of this study, we executed a field study into five representative elderly housing facilities in Korea. We visited each two units out of the outstanding 5 facilities and surveyed the total ten bathrooms. Then we analyzed the space planning of them and the state of bathroom commodities, and measured the bathroom equipment. In addition, we collected questionnaires about satisfaction, preference, and problems from the residents. As a result, most of the bathrooms had powder rooms and were furnished with bathtubs(4) and shower stalls(6). One or more grab bar and emergency calling system were provided but the heights of the handles were different from each bathroom. The floor material of bathroom should be installed with no-slippery material.

In Japan, a lot of elderly housing types have been developed in order to meet various needs of the older person and the change of social situations. Elderly housings can be divided into three categories elderly housings for healthy older persons, elderly care homes for the healthy and elderly care facilities for the unhealthy. Elderly housings include public and private rental housings. Sometimes they can be designated only for the elderly. Elderly care homes for the healthy elderly include full fee charging elderly housing, elderly homes, low fee charging elderly homes and care houses. Elderly care facilities for the unhealthy elderly consist of full fee charging elderly care homes, group homes for the dementia, elderly health facilities, nursing homes, elderly hospitals, and so on. However "elderly care facilities" have been proved not to be efficient for the delivery of elderly welfare services nor satisfactory to the frail older person. Therefore, based on the concept of the "Normalization", daily services have been provided for the elderly in order that they can live at their own home in the community for themselves. As a result, Japan aims not only to reduce elderly welfare expenses but also to increase elderly users' satisfaction. Emphasis on non-institutionalization and in-home services, regional characterization, harmony between Hard and Soft, user oriented services, substantiality, universal design and so on are sought for the sake of those goals.

The purpose of the study was to examine the housing needs of the elderly who lived in rural area and suggest the planning directions of the housing for the rural elderly. The subjects were 192 elderlies who lived in the rural area in Gyeongnam and Chonbuk. They were selected by using the stratified sampling method. Also the interview method was used for collecting the data. The results were as follows: 1) Most of the rural elderly had some problems in their health. Thus, the housing for them should be planned on the basis of their health conditions. 2) The rural elderly had active interaction with their neighborhoods. Therefore, the housing for them should be planned for maintaining this active relation. 3) The rural elderly has lived in their housing for long time and wanted to live there as long as possible. This implies that the concept of 'aging in place' should be considered as one of the Important design issues in the rural housing for the elderly. 4) Even though many rural elderlies didn't know about the planned housing facilities for the elderly, they had intentions to live in there if they were provided in rural area. 5) The rural elderly preferred the monthly payment system or the life long payment system as the payment system of the planned housing facilities for the elderly. Also, they wanted that facility to be maintained by the government. 6) The detached housing type or three story townhouse type which is located in each rural village as small size would be desirable as the housing for the rural elderly. 7) The 10-30 pyung would be desirable as the size of housing unit. Also, 2-6 persons per room in case of sharing a bedroom. 8) Ondol-bang would be desirable however the size of the bedroom should be determined by considering using the bed.

Although the proportion of frail elderly among the elderly population has been rapidly increasing, there is little preparation to provide housing alternatives for them in Korean society. Long-term care facility a housing alternative for frail elderly that enables them to receive social and medical care services that enhance the quality of their life. This research was conducted to study the opinions of middle-aged Koreans about long-term care facilities for the frail elderly. This study provides useful suggestions for the development of user-paid long-term care facilities in the near future. A survey questionnaire was administered to 600 adults in their 50s to collect data. The sample was stratified according to region, gender, and housing structure type. The results showed that most of the respondents were aware of long-term care facilities for the frail elderly; but they were relatively unwilling to live in these facilities, as compared to other housing alternatives. However, a larger number of respondents said that as they became very frail, they would be willing to live in these facilities. The respondents expressed a high level of need for user-paid long-term care facilities as an alternative to hospitalization. Also, they wanted to have a variety of long-term care facilities that are designed for different levels of disability. The education level of respondents and their spouses, average monthly income, subjective economic level, and religion were major variables that differentiated significantly the opinions about long-term care facilities for the frail elderly.

2000년 고령화 사회에 진입한 우리나라는 17년이 지난 2017년말에 예상보다 빠르게 고령사회로 진입하게 되었다. 이러한 추세에 비하여 아직 노인주거시설에 관한 인식은 사회에 정착하지 못하고 있으며, 다양한 이유 중 가장 큰 이유는 시설의 건축과 경영에 대한 이해가 부족하여 노인주거시설의 활성화가 이루어지지 못한 것이라 할 수 있다. 더불어 정부의 정책 또한 뒷받침을 하지 못하는 면도 무시할 수 없다. 노인의 주거는 단순한 주거 공간 뿐 만이 아니라 의료의 문제와 연관지어서 생각해야 한다는 점과 지속적인 케어의 문제를 함께 고려해야 한다. 그래서 노인주거의 추세는 연속보호형 시설(Continuing Care Retirement Commuity)을 추구하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 노인주거시설의 정책과 기존 노인주거를 외국의 정책 및 주거와의 비교를 통하여 분석한다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 노인주거시설의 운영을 중심으로 경제적 부담을 최소화하기 위해 기본UNIT의 유지, 시설의 용도변경을 통한 융통성의 확보, 공용공간의 쉐어, 운영비의 현실화 등을 통해 노인주거시설의 적합한 주거디자인의 유형의 특성과 방향성을 제시하고 증가하는 노인인구에 대처할 수 있는 사회복지적 방안을 연구함에 의의를 두고자 한다.

Recently housing demands are going to be diversified, and many suggestions are driven for the housing consumer's right of choice and expectation for welfare services. These require the policy change from the clear division between houses and facilities toward more market-oriented concept capable of mixed-use development of houses with facilities. The research explores the possibilities to provide various types of mixed-use developments of houses and facilities in the level of architectural design and political implication. Major case studies focus on the elderly welfare housing with serviced residence with the comparison of similar cases in Japan. The policy implications are, first, expanding the production of elderly housing with more elderly care services, second, challenging time-sharing residence composed of serviced residence and small dwelling units, third, activating the production of small scale housing development with small public facilities. The simulation shows the merits and demerits of this concepts and the efficacy of the policy implications.

Due to the shortage of elderly care services in urban areas, multi-functional welfare facilities are proven to be very effective for delivering various service needs of elderly in Japan. Introduction of new longterm care policy for elderly in Korea would change many aspects of elderly care service facilities. Especially elderly home care services like adult daycare centers will expand drastically after beginning of elderly longterm care insurance. The purpose of this research is to study and analyze multi-functional welfare facilities in Japan focusing on the types of day service in those facilities. Planning of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities for the elderly can be classified to 8 types. Those types are daycare centers with senior housing, longterm care insurance facilities, senior centers, small multi-function facility, medical facilities, educational facilities, community facilities and general housing projects. Each type has different benefits for the networking of services for the elderly. Design of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities have distinctive features in entrance and user approach, space allocation and circulation planning. The study of daycare centers and multi-function planning should be followed to make better home care environments for the elderly in Korea.
