Abstract

This study aims to examine the physical housing environment status from the perspective of NORC in apartment buildings selected as the potential naturally occurring retirement communities. A total of 22 apartment complexes were investigated on-site and photographed at the same time. The survey details are apartment complex size, unit size, floor plan type, housing price, location conditions, neighborhood facilities, universal design application, security, health-related facilities, and elderly-related facilities. The results of the study are as follows. Most of the apartment complexes were aged apartments with 20 years old, with an average area of 46-85 m2. Most of the location conditions were close to subway stations and public transportation stops. Health-related facilities such as walking trails, hiking trails, gardens and flower beds in the complex were well constructed, and a senior welfare center, day care center, and social welfare center were located near the complex. The characteristics of the physical environment that should be supplemented in order to convert the apartment complexes of senior citizens into a healthy environment were found to be the formation of a universal design environment in the complex, the securing of parking spaces, the creation of a pedestrian and bicycle road environment, and the readjustment of various company systems.
