| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to propose the clue of planning guideline for the elderly welfare center supporting the healthy life of the
elderly through deriving the planning element of the elderly welfare center based on the Salutogenic Model(SM). The research method was
proceeded with literature review. The meaning of Sense of Coherence(SOC) and Generalised Resistance Resources(GRR) which constitute
Salutogenic Model is established. The correlation between SOC and GRR is analyzed. The conclusions of this study are as follows.
First, EBD, BD, HD, UD, and BFD were studied as planning theories that could enhance the SOC of space. Second, based on the five
planning theories, 43 planning elements needed for the elderly welfare center plan were derived. Third, as a result of classifying the plan
elements based on the SOC, ‘Manageability’ is divided into 22 elements, ‘Meaningfulness’ is 11 and ‘Comprehensibility’ is 10 elements.
Fourth, the details of the SOC items for each theory are as follows: BFD focuses on ‘Manageability’ with ‘Manageability’(74%) and
‘Comprehensibility’(26%), but ‘Meaningfulness’ does not exist. And UD regards ‘Comprehensibility’(66%) as important, and ‘Manageability’
and ‘Meaningfulness’ as 17%. BD, on the other hand, has a high percentage of ‘Meaningfulness’(70%), ‘Comprehensibility’(21%) and
‘Manageability’(9%). Next, the ‘Manageability’ of HD and EBD is 46%. And HD was ‘Meaningfulness’(34%), ‘Comprehensibility’(20%), and
EBD was ‘Meaningfulness’(30%) and ‘Comprehensibility’(24%). The three items of SOC showed different distribution according to the spatial
planning theory. As a result of the analysis, the spatial planning theory with the ‘Comprehensibility’ was related to Universal Design(UD),
and the spatial planning theory with the ‘Manageability’ was related to Barrier-Free Design(BFD). In addition, the spatial planning theory of
‘Meaningfulness’ was related to Bio-philic Design(BD). Therefore, the plan of the elderly welfare center needs to approach the
multidimensional design methodology to enhance the SOC(Sense of Coherence). |
