소규모공동체주택 개발을 위한 고령자 참여 계획 연구

Abstract

This study was conducted to extract the need of the elderly for major planning elements of small community housing. This study utilized a small-group workshop method that can induce the elderly more easily and directly to participate in the planning of an appropriate small-scale community housing. The planning elements included the size of the individual unit housing, the size of the neighborhood, the function of the community living space and working space, and the arrangement of the individual dwelling unit and the community space. Visual materials such as 3D scale model, space image cards, icons for furniture for easier understanding by 9 elderly participants. The results are as follows. First, although the proposed space area of the individual dwellings unit was perceived to be small, space was accepted as an appropriate community space, and sufficient storage was provided. The size of the neighborhood was found to be appropriate within 10 households. Second, the community living space was a place where people could have a chat and rest, and social exchange among neighbors. For the community working space, it was recognized as an opportunity not only supporting the economic community also preventing social isolation of the elderly through providing child daycare service or manufacturing accessories. Third, buildings were preferred in a way where dwelling units with community living spaces are separated from community working space respecting the privacy. The familiar and intimate pediment style of the roof was preferred. During this study, the elderly expressed their hope for a more healthy and independent life such as small-scale community housing. These user participation planning workshops have demonstrated the usefulness in enhancing understanding and empowering the ability to participate in reaching consensus.
