With the overall revision of the Welfare of the Aged Act in 1997, elderly welfare facilities have developed differently according to the size of locality, capacity, and social and economic characteristics. In response to the problem, various plans are being executed for expanding services and facilities for the aged. However, such efforts by the government have been focused on quantitative increase rather than on qualitative improvement, and there are not many high-quality elderly welfare facilities that meet the needs of the consumers, namely, the aged. In contrast, elderly welfare centers in Japan began to be founded from the 1960s and increased significantly from the 1970s and, as a result, 2,214 elderly welfare centers were in operation in 1995, maintaining a high level in quantity as well as in quality. Therefore, the present study surveyed using a checklist how elderly welfare centers in Japan, which are playing central roles in welfare facility services for the aged in Japan, design their indoor spaces reflecting elders' behavior and characteristics and, based on the results of the survey, classified spaces into shared spaces and individual service spaces and analyzed the spaces of each center using the checklist. The results from this case study will be used as basic data to establish standards for the space composition of elderly welfare facilities in Korea, which has 10 years' short history of elderly welfare facilities.

현재 노인복지회관은 1981년 제정된 노인복지법에 근거한 노인여가시설로 규정되어, 각 시도별로 건립되고 있지만, 각 시설 관에서 제공하는 다양한 서비스가 체계화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 더욱이 지방자치제의 전면적 실시로 인해 각 자치단체별로 건립이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 호남지역의 경우 2005년 36개소가 운영 중이며 노인복지회관의 건립 형태를 보면, 노인인구를 고려하여 건립되기보다는 지방자치단체별로 건져되고 있어 이용서비스프로그램 및 그에 대응하는 공간구성계획이나 면적구성계획들에 관한 세부계획이 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 호남지역의 노인복지회관을 조사대상으로 연면적분류에 따른 이용서비스프로그램 공간분류와 공간위치를 비교 분석하였으며, 각 이용공간으로 상담지도공간, 의료재활공간, 사회교육공간, 복리후생공간, 관리공간의 각 시설의 공간규모와 구성을 조사 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 본 연구는 연면적에 따른 이용서비스공간구성과 규모를 분석하여 향후 노인복지회관의 공간구성계획 시 필요한 기초자료를 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다.

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.

Senior citizens' new life style has appeared according to the massive retirement of the baby boom generation since 2010.

This study focuses on the survey for current status of leisure programs in accordance with the changing life style and on the investigation for sensible usage of space in senior welfare centers in Gwangju Metropolitan city. The result shows the portion of the programs which every center provides is quite different according to the life style. The program types for challenge and utility are provided 192 times a week and the program types for health and sociality 133 times a week. Both types shows high frequency of supply and use of the program especially 85 times of information-oriented education, 64 times of musical instruments, and 42 times of foreign language are supplied vividly. On the contrary, the program types for fashion and self-management and the program types for volunteer work and achievement are insufficient, so It should be reconsidered to establish the programs and to supply the space for the program from now on. The current status for spatial usage shows that most of the centers share a space for several programs. It means that the space of the Senior Welfare Center is limited and various programs should be run in the narrow space. High frequency programs like the program types for challenge and utility secure sufficient spaces not to miscarry the use for the programs. The center of case B has well equipped and large space and provides proper space for each programs to meet the demand of the senior citizens. Like these, Senior Welfare Centers in Gwangju Metropolitan city have supported Senior citizens' Life Style by supplying various leisure programs to meet the demand for it.

The purpose of this study is to assess the residential satisfaction of no-charge welfare facility for the elderly, and to examine the effect of the integration with pay-training institute on residential satisfaction. The data were collected from staffs and fifty one residents of welfare facility by interview and questionnaire. The statistical analysis was conducted to identify the residential satisfaction. A half of the elderly were aged over seventy five years old, eighty four percents of them were female, and seventy seven percents of them were non-educated. Forty two percents of the elderly considered themselves to be unhealthy, but the ADL data reveals that they are relatively healthy. The most of residents are highly satisfied with whole welfare facility. But, the level of satisfaction on the bathroom, the storing space, the cooking table and the benches were relatively low. These dissatisfactions can be solved by the expanding of the storing space, setting up of a common washing room and electric cooking stove, and the increasing of the number of benches. Also, it was recommended for the elderly to set up the Ondol-style rest room with the western style rest room. The level of satisfaction on the attached training institute with no-charge welfare facility for the elderly were high. This has positive effect on residential satisfaction of the elderly. Therefore, the community integrated welfare facility can be the alternative plan for the enhancement of residential satisfaction and quality of elderly life.

노인들의 수명 연장에 따른 노인의 여가생활을 위하여 정부는 다양한 서비스 및 시설 확충에 대한 계획안을 마련하여 실행하고 있으나, 아직 노인들의 욕구를 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 이것은 단기간에 양적 증가에만 치중하고 있어 수요자인 노인들의 특성과 행태를 고려한 수준 높은 노인복지시설은 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구는 현재 노인복지회관이 실내환경에서 노인의 행태와 특성을 반영하여 디자인하고 있는가를 실내공간체크리스트를 통해 현황을 파악하고자 한다. 실내공간체크리스트를 위한 이론적 기초는 노인환경심리와 행태에 따른 관련 문헌과 디자인 측면에서의 유니버설디자인 자료를 분석하여 기초자료를 7가지 분석 기준안을 토대로 실내공간체크리스트를 제시하였다. 공간분류로는 공동공간과 개별서비스공간으로 분류하여 각 회관별로 실내공간체크리스트를 통하여 조사 분석하여, 광주광역시 각 노인복지회관 적용하여 노인의 행태 관련된 디자인 특성내용들을 추출하였다. 분석된 결과를 기반으로 하여 광주지역 뿐만 아니라 전국에서 노인복지회관 건립 시, 노인복지와 여가의 질을 향상 시켜줄 수 있는 실내공간을 조성하는데 있어 기초자료를 제공하고자한다.
