독거노인을 위한 맞춤형 주택개조 거주 후 사용자 평가 연구

Aging in place(A.I.P) is suggested as an ideal concept to maintain life quality of the elderly. In order to provide an appropriate environment for elderly, home modification could be a solution. However, the effect of home modification is not yet reliably approved because home modification is not studied enough as an single factor intervention. The purpose of the study is to seek the effect of home modification by analyzing the result of post occupancy evaluation(P.O.E) that the case study has been done to implement the customized home modification for elderly. The research target is single male elderly aged 74, and the modification is completed in November 2016. In order to carry out P.O.E, the 1st interview is carried out on 19th of December in 2016, and 2nd interview is carried out on 22nd of Febrary in 2017. Through series of P.O.E, three modification effects are realized. Firstly, P.O.E on customized home modification shows that overall score on modification elements are high. Secondly, the resident prefers the visually effective elements for modification in the first P.O.E. However, experiencing physical effect of modification changes the perspective on modification. Lastly, questioning the life quality through modification changes has realized that modification can support physical and mental health allowing the resident to improve his independency, control and confidence.
