본 연구는 노인복지관의 프로그램이 서비스 이용 노인에게 유용한가에 대한 문제의식에서부터 출발하였다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 노인복지관의 프로그램이 서비스 이용자 노인의 욕구를 충족시키고 있는지 여부와 실제적으로 도움이 되는지를 살펴보기 위해서 다음 3가지의 연구방법을 활용하였다. 노인복지관 서비스 이용 노인을 대상으로 하는 '심층 인터뷰'와 노인복지관이 운영하고 있는 '특화 프로그램 분석', 그리고 노인복지 관련 '전문가 FGI'를 실시하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 다음과 같은 점을 논의하여 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 권리에 기초한 서비스 이용자 중심의 노인복지관 프로그램 활성화이다. 둘째, 고품격 노인문화를 만들어내는 노인복지관 프로그램의 개발과 실행이 되어야 한다. 셋째, 지역사회와 연계된 노인복지관 프로그램으로의 전환이 필요하다. 끝으로는 프로그램을 소통하는 네트워크 구축 거점센터로서의 역할이 구축되어야 할 것이다.

Light is an essential environmental element for elderly people to do various activities. At senior welfare centers, healthy indoor lighting is especially necessary because the facilities are used by the elderly to perform their mostly indoor activities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate light environments at senior welfare centers for well-being lighting characteristics. We based the study on the 'Biophilia' theory, a concept related to health from happiness. Thus, this study is mainly based on literary review and survey research. For this, we conducted a location focused field study to identify the current state of the lighting environments at senior welfare centers in Busan, South Korea. First, we constructed structural questionnaire to evaluate lighting environment based on 'Light and Space' biophilia theory. Then, to survey subjective evaluation, the participant of research included total of 122 senior welfare center users. Based on the results of this research, the conclusions are as follows; 1) overall, it seems that the overall result of the light environmental evaluation seems to be high because the evaluated facilities in the case survey in large-scale were recently built elderly welfare centers. 2) most of the healing design elements are focused on the introduction of natural light and psychological influence. The satisfaction with actual natural light is evaluated to be high. Although shadow and reflected light are very important in discrimination and recognition of indoor space and wayfinding, the evaluation of reflected light and shadow was low for the study. 3) items that are related to the functionality of the light were highly evaluated, while the items that are related to the spatiality of the light were rated poorly. This study has its significance when examining the effects of light environments within the welfare center form of the perspective of senior citizens. It can be referenced when reconsidering the recognition of light environment as a major consideration factor to establish a desirable senior welfare center environment.
