It is necessary to conduct a basic research on fusion of ighting design or lighting environment to improve the health and quality of life of elderly people. The purpose of this study is to analyze the lighting situation of elderly people 's residential facilities in terms of space environment design plan and to analyze the trends in smart home, design and technology. It is to provide basic data for the prototype of lighting fixtures for elderly people living facilities considering functional, physiological and emotional characteristics. For the study, the target sites were selected and the results of the illumination survey of the target facilities were divided into two types of spaces, residential and other public spaces, and their location, lighting fixtures' type, color temperature, illuminance. The results of the survey showed that the overall physical illumination compared to the recommended illuminance for the elderly satisfied the recommended range and provided the appropriate brightness for the elderly. However, in the application layout of the lighting fixtures, a monotonous arrangement and a lighting fixtures type consisting entirely of simple square type fixtures and downlight types were applied. It would be desirable to use different types of lighting fixtures in the design for various functions, such as making the environment more comfortable. Future research will propose a prototype for the design direction of the subdivided lighting fixtures that classify the space according to functions and understand the vision problem of the elderly while aesthetically.

There are high recognitions on the importance of comforts in Elderly living environment, but the circumstance is that studies on seniors facility space itself are approached only in planning level, and studies on lighting environment which is significantly associated with the comfort in the indoor environment of seniors where they actually spend the majority of their time are not that active. This study was intended to deduce cozy bedroom environment to which existing elderly care facility can be improved by using light shelf the lighting system with the advantage of being able to serve both as building sun visor and lighting window simultaneously in order to analyze the interior environment of bedroom space of elderly care facility the indoor space where the aged spend the majority of their life and examine the directions for the improvement of existing building lighting system through remodeling and renovation. In this study, lighting performance analysis was done in a way that the windows of the bedroom unit in existing facility were set in southbound direction based on two standard types and were put under initial simulation with the use of Autodesk Revit 2011, and after the simulation results were converted to Green Building Studio gbXML file to be used in ECOTECT, Daylight Autonomy a dynamic simulation and static natural lighting simulation the existing method of calculating daylight factors were deduced through Ecotect Analysis 2011. In conclusion, exiting standard model was found in such a condition that the daylight factors for both type A and type B were above 5% the proper standard value, and required improvement. In case light shelf the natural lighting system was attached, the daylight factor was improved to proper standard value for type A, and also was improved above existing facility for type B.

Light is an essential environmental element for elderly people to do various activities. At senior welfare centers, healthy indoor lighting is especially necessary because the facilities are used by the elderly to perform their mostly indoor activities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate light environments at senior welfare centers for well-being lighting characteristics. We based the study on the 'Biophilia' theory, a concept related to health from happiness. Thus, this study is mainly based on literary review and survey research. For this, we conducted a location focused field study to identify the current state of the lighting environments at senior welfare centers in Busan, South Korea. First, we constructed structural questionnaire to evaluate lighting environment based on 'Light and Space' biophilia theory. Then, to survey subjective evaluation, the participant of research included total of 122 senior welfare center users. Based on the results of this research, the conclusions are as follows; 1) overall, it seems that the overall result of the light environmental evaluation seems to be high because the evaluated facilities in the case survey in large-scale were recently built elderly welfare centers. 2) most of the healing design elements are focused on the introduction of natural light and psychological influence. The satisfaction with actual natural light is evaluated to be high. Although shadow and reflected light are very important in discrimination and recognition of indoor space and wayfinding, the evaluation of reflected light and shadow was low for the study. 3) items that are related to the functionality of the light were highly evaluated, while the items that are related to the spatiality of the light were rated poorly. This study has its significance when examining the effects of light environments within the welfare center form of the perspective of senior citizens. It can be referenced when reconsidering the recognition of light environment as a major consideration factor to establish a desirable senior welfare center environment.

This study was intended to suggest the design guidelines of the space for the elderly with dementia. To achieve this, the behavioral characteristics of the elderly with dementia were grasped, and the design cases which were considered and reflected of the behavioral characteristics of the elderly with dementia were examined. Then, the effective space design guidelines which met the behavioral characteristcs of the elderly with dementia were suggested. The behaviors of the elderly with dementia were categorized into cognitive, emotional, and functional behavior. The positive influences of space design on dementia symptom were founded in the planned living environments, accessible and visible location of common space such as living room, soft and homelike interior finishes and lighting, and healing garden. Therefore, the space design for the elderly with dementia should be done on the basis of the dementia symptoms and healing effects.

본 연구는 고령자를 대상으로 마이크로 버블과 LED 조명을 이용하여 반신욕 시 인체의 변화를 평가하였다. 피험자는 남성 고령자 6명과 여성 고령자 7명을 대상으로 마이크로 버블을 이용하는 그룹(남성 3명, 여성 4명)과 마이크로 버블을 이용하지 않는 그룹(남성 3명, 여성 3명)으로 나누었다. 실험은 LED 조명의 색상을 달리하여 4회 진행하였다. 실험 결과 교감 신경에 비하여 부교감 신경의 활성화를 보였으며(마이크로 버블을 이용 한 반신욕 : 21.41%), 빨간색 조명과 마이크로 버블을 이용한 반신욕에서 $5.93^{\circ}C$로 체열의 가장 큰 증가를 보였다. 본 결과는 마이크로 버블과 LED 조명이 반신욕 시스템에 활용될 거라 사료된다.

본 연구는 경로당 실내환경 적 요소를 평가하여 개선방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울지역 14개 경로당을 방문하여 노인들의 접근성$.$이동성에 주요 영향 인자인 편의요소를 체크리스트에 기초하여 평가하였고, 조명과 색채환경을 조사하였으며, 경로당 이용자 중 124명을 대상으로 색채선호도를 설문 조사하였다. 조사결과, 1. 체크리스트의 39항목에 대한 설치율은 59%였고 접근 허용치수와 같은 의무조항에 대한 이행율은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이동과 안전에 관한 항목은 이행정도가 낮았으므로 유도레일이나 목적지까지의 블록 설치, 장애물 제거 등이 재 고려되어야 한다. 2.평균조도는 기준치 300 Lux에 근접한 289 Lux였으나, 노인들의 원활한 활동을 지원하기에는 조명의 질이 열악하였으므로 질적 향상을 위한 조명조절기구 설치, 다양한 조명원 선택, 적절한 조명부착 및 설치 방법 등 이 적용되어야한다. 3. 대부분의 시설들은 난색상, 중명도나 고명도, 저채도 경향이 짙었으며 유사조화의 내츄럴한 분위기였다. 이는 기능적이라 할 수는 없으나 배색에 따른 분위기를 제외하고는 색채선호도에 대한 설문조사 결과와 상당부분 일치하였다. 따라서 기능성 향상을 위해 대비효과를 좀 더 주고 사용자들의 선호분위기인 클래식이나 로맨틱 이미지를 주는 배색이 권장된다.
