초록

The primary purpose of this research study is to examine the housing provision for middle-class older adults in Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region. In doing so, the housing policy for older adults is reviewed, the supportiveness of residential
environment for the group is analyzed, and the management of the properties for the group is investigated. The methods utilized
in the study include not only site visits in two housing estates specially designed for middle-class older adults but also in-depth
interviews with professionals in public and non-profit sectors including policy makers, researchers, architects, on-site managers,
and social workers. As an aging society in the Asia-Pacific region, Hong Kong aims at their independent life and aging in place
in policy-making, However, in response to the growing demand for affordable, accessible and adequate housing for middle-class
older adults, a housing program adopted a progressive tenancy, "lease for life," and an integrative approach to property
management. Two housing estates have been successfully developed, and they have been equipped with such special features as
universal design, a wide array of community facilities, and a full spectrum of medical and supportive services. The residential
environments intend to achieve independent living, healthy aging, and successful aging in place. The finding implies that such a
provision is significant to stabilize the residential life of middle-class older adults and to enable them to continue to live in
supportive housing and a familiar community. In spite of the fact that the unique tenancy, a holistic approach to property
management, and dealing with greying estates resulting from aging residents are challenging issues ahead, it's suggested that
the open communication among stakeholders of the property and educating residents on a regular basis prevent
misunderstandings and conflicts.
