초록

본 연구의 목적은 최근 계획된 노인주거의 가장 성공적인 운영 사례로 알려진 유료노인복지주택환경의 지원성이, 그 환경으로 이주한 노인의 지각된 총체적 건강상태와 관련하여 노후를 더욱 자립적이고 활발하게 보내는 ‘활력있는 노후(Active Aging)’를 도모하는 것과 어떠한 관계가 있는가를 심층적으로 파악하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서의 총체적 건강상태란 노인 개개인이 주관적으로 지각하고 있는 건강의 모든 측면 즉, 신체적 건강과 사회-심리적 건강을 모두 포괄하는 개념이다.

As human life and housing environment are inseparably related to each other, the importance of conditions of housing environment for active aging among seniors has been received considerable attention as vital ones to expand the independency period of seniors. The purpose of this case study is to identify relationships between environmental affordance and perceived holistic health of the active elderly living in a retirement community located in Seoul. With spending time personally in the commun ty to observe their lives, the researcher could be in close rapport with the residents. After the period of getting familiar with each other, in-depth individual interview and focus group interview were conducted and then, qualitative analysis was completed. As a result, general evidences showed that perceived seniors’ health on the whole was improved physically, socially, and mentally by moving into the community providing appropriate environment affordance with the older adults. The study presents that retirement relocation into an improper environment may be a negative challenge, however, it may positively influence on the health and well-being of those who live there if the environment properly supports seniors’ needs physically and socially.
