| Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to survey the needs of the elderly for ICT-based Elderly Home Remodeling by Applying Kinetic Principle. This
is conducted for elderly people over 60 years old living in Seoul and Gangreung district. The study is performed by the following
approaches: First, This study is based on ‘the Elements of Planning for ICT-based elderly Home Remodeling by applying Kinetic
Principle’(Lee 2018). Second, the needs survey for house remodeling was conducted for elderly. Finally, To analyze the required
characteristics of the elderly for remodeling by using SPSS statistics 25 analysis program. The conclusion of this study is as follows. Priority
elements for house remodeling should be provided to ensure the safety of the elderly through emergency call buttons, glucometer,
pressure-measuring gauge, weighing instruments, and warning devices. Kinetic principles should be applied to make minimal structural
changes, as easy as possible remodeling, and devices should be designed to be easy to operate. |
