Yaşlı Kullanıcılar İçin Yerinde Yaşlanması Destekleyen Konutlarda İç Mekân

Abstract

Bireylerin yerinde yaşlanabilmelerinde, yaşlılık dönemlerini daha aktif ve kaliteli geçirebilmelerinde etkili faktörlerden biri de konut ve yakın çevresinin fiziksel çevre özellikleridir. Bireylerin yaşlılık döneminde kendi evlerinde yaşamayı tercih ettikleri savı üzerine temellenen bu çalışmada, yaşlı bireylerin yerinde yaşlanmalarını destekleyecek konutların taşıması gereken özelliklerin belirlenerek tasarım prensiplerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 65 yaş ve üzeri 70 yaşlı kullanıcı ile yaşamlarını sürdürdükleri konutlarında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin SPSS istatistik programında genel frekans dağılımları ve ki-kare testi analizleri edilmiş ve açık uçlu sorularda betimsel içerik analizi yapılarak veriler oluşturulan karşılaştırma tablolarıyla irdelenmiştir. Ardından alan çalışmasından elde edilen tüm veriler literatür bilgileriyle birlikte değerlendirilerek yaşlı kullanıcılar kullanımına yönelik konutlarda yeni ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda tadilatında dikkat edilmesi gereken prensipler sunulmaktadır. Sunulan tasarım prensipleri ile yaşlı kullanıcıların kendi kendine yetebildikleri süreyi uzatarak konutlarında daha kaliteli ve aktif bir şekilde yaşamlarını sürdürmeleri öngörülmektedir.

Interior in Residential Premises That Support Ageing in Place for Older Users

Abstract

One of the effective factors in enabling individuals to age in place and to spend their old age periods more actively and with better quality is the physical environmental characteristics of the dwelling and its immediate surroundings. In this study, which is based on the assertion that individuals prefer to live in their own homes in old age, it is aimed to determine the features that should be carried by the houses that will support the aging in place of elderly individuals and to reveal the design principles. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 70 elderly users aged 65 and over in their residences. General frequency distributions and chi-square test analyses of the obtained data were performed in SPSS statistical program and descriptive content analysis was performed on open-ended questions and the data were examined with the comparison tables created. Then, all the data obtained from the field study are evaluated together with the literature information and the principles that should be considered in the renovation of the houses for the use of elderly users in line with the new needs are presented. With the design principles presented, it is envisaged that elderly users will continue their lives in a better quality and active way in their residences by extending the time they can be self-sufficient.
