| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to conduct a needs assessment of pre-elderly individuals (aged 50-64) for ICT-integrated elderly residential spaces and to explore future integration plans for architecture, ICT & IoT devices, and assistive device in elderly housing. The research method involves first conducting a literature review on the needs of the elderly and pre-elderly. Second, the study identifies planning elements for ICT-based elderly housing. Third, it conducts a needs assessment of pre-elderly individuals regarding their current space satisfaction and their requirements for ICT-based elderly housing. Fourth, statistical analysis, including frequency and cross-tabulation analysis, is conducted using the SPSS software. Finally, the study presents planning strategies for ICT-based elderly residential spaces that enable independent living for seniors. The conclusions of the study are as follows: The needs assessment of pre-elderly individuals for elderly housing revealed a high demand for nature-friendly detached houses and environments with outdoor spaces for old age. To address these needs, it is necessary to plan nature-friendly spaces such as balconies. AI-based ICT & IoT devices are needed to support the sustainable daily living of the elderly. However, considering the low average use rate of ICT & IoT devices among pre-elderly individuals (2.91), improvements are needed to ensure that these devices are easy to install, operate, move, and modify. The demand for door-to-door services is high, with an average score of 3.91, indicating a need for maintenance of ICT & IoT devices and building facilities, as well as personalized door to door services that consider the health conditions of the elderly. |
