초록

This research aims to suggest the housing design directions for the elderly and the pre-elderly, responding to prevent the falling accidents and to decrease the fear of falling. The fear of falling reduces the possibility of ‘Active Aging’ and impedes the quality of life for the elderly and the pre-elderly. Therefore, the purpose of this study is for the elderly and the pre-elderly to suggest the housing design directions for ‘Active Aging’ through analyzing main factors related to the fear of falls both inside and outside, the scale in the fear of falls, and the housing design elements according to their priority. The methods of this study are literature review and questionnaire survey. By analyzing literatures and previous studies, we deduced the items for investigating the fear of falling and the preference and the importance in housing design elements based on the universal design and barrier-free design. According to the study, firstly, the elderly and the pre-elderly had the fear of fall regarding the outside activities in poor weather condition and the movement of bending over, going up and down the stairs. Secondly, the group experienced in falling had low satisfaction for the housing planning elements. Thirdly, the importance and the satisfaction of the housing planning elements were high overall regardless of their experience of falling. Lastly, the housing planning elements such as non-slip flooring, the accessibility of bedroom and kitchen, and the flexibility of storage space were considered by priority. In this research, the direction of the housing design elements for the elderly and the pre-elderly are proposed, correlating with the scale in the fear of falling, This research can be used as a basis of house remodeling principles in preparation of the population aging.
