Abstract
In this research, we investigated the accessibility of newly-built house in Hokkaido for the elderly. Residential accessibility for the elderly varies greatly from site to site. There is a low level of adoption of designs which take into consideration needs such as bathing, toilet use, and in-room mobility. There are almost no residences which were built to accommodate wheelchair use or assisted-living needs. For the widespread of residences accessible for the elderly, it is necessary to undertake an overall outfitting of these residences in terms of mobility and security, as well as needs arising when assisted-living care becomes a requirement.
