도시와 농촌 거주에 따른 한국노인의 주의식 차이에 관한 조사 연구

Abstract

Korea will be facing a serious elderly problem in the near future, because the elderly population and households have been increasing radically. To cope with the coming elderly problem, social welfare services and elderly housing need to be carefully prepared. Especially, elderly housing has been recognized to be promising to solve the great portion of the problem. In this point of view, I attempted, in this study, to show the theoretical bases on the residential environment for the elderly households and their residential consciousness. I make a survey of residential consciousness of the elderly on 575 Koreans aged 60 or more, and analyze the difference of residential consciousness of them by regional comparison of urban vs rural elderly. The result of this study will be expected to be a reference to the housing planning for the elderly household in Korea.
