| Abstract |
The purposes of this study are to present ways to improve the community-based housing alternatives for disabled people, which have been drawn from analysis of the residential status of disabled people by residential type, and to suggest future directions; previous studies have not yet examined the residences of people with disabilities or new housing alternatives. To this end, this study investigated and analyzed the residential status of disabled people by residential type, and the community-based housing alternatives for disabled people through a literature review. Using the category "residential type," disabled people were classified into those living in residential facilities and those living at home; the residential status of each group were then analyzed. In addition, community-based housing alternatives for disabled people, which have been emerging along with policies to encourage them to live in the community rather than in residential facilities, were classified into the following types for analysis: those led by local government, those led by social welfare organizations, and those led by the private sector. The results of this study show that the residential facilities are entering the community and becoming smaller in size to promote deinstitutionalization. Ultimately, it is hoped that community-based housing alternatives for disabled people will be located within the community and, one step further, will also offer spaces where disabled people can communicate with other residents and live in their neighborhood as members of the community. |
