The aging rate currently exceeds 27%, and is expected to reach 38.4% in 2065. The elderly population is growing bigger, and it is therefore becoming increasingly important to create a comfortable living environment for the elderly. We conducted a field survey and an interview survey of 15 elderly individuals living at five welfare facilities. We created floor plans of the bedrooms that they had lived in, are currently living in, and want to live in in the future. We analyzed the results of the field survey and the interview survey in order to understand what study participants wanted in their bedroom and why. The results of this research will assist in the creation of more comfortable living environments for the elderly.}, pages = {29--35}, title = {LIVING ENVIRONMENT NEEDS OF THE ELDERLY IN WELFARE FACILITIES BASED ON PAST RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE}, volume = {61}, year = {2019} }
