고령자 주택개조 플랫폼 구축을 위한 일반 공동주택의 개조항목에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) In a situation where we are approaching an aging society, the focus of elderly welfare programs has shifted from specialized elderly care facilities to local communities as the roles and systems of local communities have been strengthened so that the elderly living at home can achieve self-reliance by means of community care. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to promote housing renovation as a core concept of community care. When it comes to the current status of housing renovation for the elderly, however, Korea has a long way to go compared with advanced countries. In that sense, this study was conducted based on the recognition that a platform for housing renovation, in which all process steps for housing renovation are implemented in one space, should be constructed for the activation of housing renovation for the elderly. As a way to increase accessibility to housing renovation for the elderly, the purpose of this study is to automatically provide a proposal for renovation items, which is a basic function of the housing renovation platform. (Method) The study methods involve defining the obstacles to the elderly's self-reliance at home by reflecting status of lifestyle and physical functions. Lifestyles are classified into five stages: independent walking, use of walking aids, sedentary life, reliance on a wheelchair, and staying in bed all day. Physical state includes the sensory function, the physical/cognitive function, and the physiological function. Once renovation parameters are set, elderly subjects are selected, and experiments are made to propose renovation parameters and construction scale according to subjects' specific conditions. Finally, apartment dwelling and preparation of BIM models are presented as alternatives to automatic proposals. (Results) In this study, as a function of a housing renovation platform for the activation of housing renovation, the automatic proposal of renovation parameters was studied for elderly subjects living in a general multi-unit dwelling. After entering basic information about elderly subjects, selecting obstacles in view of lifestyle and the physical functions, and considering the options desired by elderly subjects, the outcomes were derived as renovation parameters, drawings, and construction statement using the BIM model. (Conclusions) This study proves that if the elderly provide their basic information and answer a few questions about their physical state, it is possible to propose parameters for housing renovation and construction scale. Thus, the results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the accessibility to housing renovation. In addition, the renovation parameters and construction scale proposed in this study has a significance as the topic of basic research for the establishment of a guideline on housing renovation which will lay the foundation for a housing renovation platform.
