쪽방 거주 독거노인의 주거공간 분석 연구 = Research on spatial design for senior citizens living alone in Slice Rooms

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

(Background and Purpose)As the ratio of aged population has increased dramatically, the support and consideration for the elderly have become an important challenge for everyone of us. This study was conducted to create new value of housing space for the socially and economically isolated class, or the single elders at the age of 65 of older who are residing in slice rooms, which are the basic living units, to contribute to improving their quality of life. (Method)This study strictly limited the subjects to the `single elders` residing in the `slice room town` in Seoul. First, literature such as preceding studies and publications and the periodicals of research institutes were searched, collected, and studied under the keywords of slice rooms, small-sized houses, single elders, and aging society. Second, the major research area in Changsin-1-dong, Jongno-gu was visited for a spatial analysis to identify the problems to resolve first to secure the substantial findings and subjectivity of research. Third, the single elders residing at the slice room town were visited with the cooperation of Dongdaemun Slice Room Counseling Center to examine their living situations. Single elders in the target area were followed through their daily schedule to be observed and interviewed to identify their complaints. (Results)As a result of analyzing the living environment of slice room residers, they spent much of their time in the slice rooms due to financial hardships and were living in narrow spaces with the living goods piled and unorganized in the rooms. Living inside the slice rooms primarily requires solutions for the basic clothing, food, and housing needs. The living goods should be easy to store and the environment should be sanitary and safe. The living space should provide minimal square footage, but they were residing and cooking in 1.06 py rooms that do not meed the minimum housing standards(14㎡). Therefore, this study examined the ways to arrange the essential living goods owned by the single elders residing in slice rooms within the minimum living space. It studied the ways to store the small/medium goods efficiently for the single elders. (Conclusions) A solution with a design may have limitations, but the following design solutions were suggested to improve their quality of life: first, designs for the socially isolated class should be emotionally touching for the users before providing aesthetics or functionality. Second, the design should be attainable and realistic than a design with viable performance. Third, the design should be built using environmentally-friendly designs without any harm for the body or the environment rather than pursuing low cost for the economical value. Fourth, the findings should not be limited to this study, but consider possible development into a sustainable design.
