우리나라의 평균 수명이 77.5세로 지난 20년새 8.4세가 늘어난 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 고령화 사회의 진입은 저출산 문제와 맞물려 우리나라의 산업전반에 큰 영향을 끼치고 있으며, 특히 노령화에 따른 주거의 변화가 빠르게 이루어질 전망이다. 절대 평균수명(2005~2010년)으로 세계 제일을 자랑하는 일본의 경우 '유료 노인홈'이나 '공동간호형 특별보호 노인홈' 등 다양한 주거시설을 채택, 고령화 인구의 유입을 꾀하고 있다. 본지에서는 日經아키텍쳐에서 "고령자 복지시설의 트렌드가 하루가 다르게 변한다"고 진단하고 '고령자 주거의 바람직한 모습'을 제시한 특집 '고령자 주고'를 통해 일본 실버주택의 현주소를 점검해 본다.

This study aims to provide basic information about the policy and system improvements relevant to single elderly men, through an investigation concerning the use and needs of activity spaces near their housing environments. Eighteen single elderly men over 60-years-old living in Gunsan city of Jeonbuk province in Korea participated in in-depth interview, and the data were qualitatively analyzed. The results of the study are as follows: The social networks of the participants were focused on friends or colleagues, while mutual exchanges with their children were intermittently undertaken. Natural networks of the elderly were formed mainly in third places, such as parks, restaurants, or community facilities, and about a half of the elderly participants had no spatial needs, and the rest required spaces for meal services, the elderly living community, jobs, leisure/hobby activities, or facility improvements. The elements influencing use of activity spaces were access from the residence, health, social networks, and economic conditions. The results suggest the following: Exercise or leisure facilities supporting elderly mobility should be set up close to their residential environments. Senior facilities centered on systematic supports and shuttle buses circulating around the places that the elderly visit frequently should be considered. On the other hand, regular maintenance and education on residents' proper use of the facilities, and sufficient information and fee discounts for the general programs are needed so that the elderly could interact with the younger generation. From a public perspective, a rational system and policy based on understanding single elderly men's needs should be prepared for provision and management of the activity space.
