In Korea, there is a need for safe and convenient elderly housing so that older people can enjoy a good quality of life and perform various daily activities while they maintain their health and well-being. Thus, this study is to suggest community -based housing settings for the elderly. We analyzed living space characteristics of the Continuing Care Retirement Communty(CCRC) in the U.S. In particular, we focused on CCRCs in the Oregon area and examined two types of settings: 1) a tower setting and 2) a town setting. The CCRC living arrangements include independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and memory care. We visited six CCRCs in Oregon during January through May in 2015. The field observations and floor plan surveys were conducted for data collection. The data analysis revealed that there are two types of arrangements: the suburban type and the urban type. Element analysis of the living unit designs for each CCRC type demonstrated typical space configurations. It was found that home care services were provided from local communities. It is suggested that community-based housing for the elderly should include mixed housing types so that community facilities can be shared. Medical services in the community were offered through healthcare institutions, disease prevention centers, welfare centers, and sports facilities. In order to apply these community-based care systems to elderly Korean housing, it is important to develop a community based on independent homes that share services and welfare facilities.

The purpose of this paper is to predict the future changes of housing through the Delphi technique. The targets to predict were set by housing type, housing space, housing demand, and architectural technology. The results were as follows: ① The influences of social and value perspectives on the change of housing type, space, and demand would be high, on the other hands, the influence of political perspective would be low. ② In terms of housing type, the increase in demand for downsizing housing for high-rise buildings and the possibility of realizing remote medical support services and homecare using big data are highly predicted. That is, ③ it is anticipated that IoTs will have a significant influences on future housing changes, and ④ enactment of co-housing and related laws by the sharing economy, services for maintenance through the supply of high-rise and high-density homes, housing support for residents, and advanced lease markets by developed architectural technology are expected as anticipated forms of future housing.

This study purports to depict the generational topography of welfare attitudes of Korean people. Three generational groups are made for analytical purpose, 'between 20-39 age group', 'between 40-59 age group', and '60 and older'. Two major statistical techniques are used, the analysis of variance and correspondence analysis. The analysis of variance shows that the respondents' attitudes upon 'social services target(universal vs selective)', 'education', 'housing', 'child-care', 'youth support', and 'employment' varies significantly by age groups. Correspondence analysis also shows that 'between 20-39 age group' is located with proximity with 'child-care', 'employment', and 'housing', while '60 and older' is located with 'poverty' and 'old age life care'. Clearly this study shows that there is generational difference on welfare consciousness in many areas of social policy. Overall, the results show that significant generational differences with regard to welfare attitudes clearly exist in current Korean society.
