Abstract

Cerebral palsy is classified as a ‘brain lesion’, and there are few studies conducted in the residential architecture field for people with cerebral lesions. The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction of residential space planning for people with cerebral palsy by analyzing daily living behavior at home, the characteristics of sub-behavior, the degree of difficulty, and the method of performance. For this purpose, this study conducted a home-visit-survey and an in-depth-interview among the people with cerebral palsy in Seoul and the Seoul metropolitan area who had the first and second degree of disability. Daily living behaviors at home were surveyed based on 10 types of behaviors and 45 types of sub- .behaviors. As a result, when planning housing for severe cerebral palsy, the planning of the kitchen or the utility room related to the housework should be planned for the convenience of the caregivers rather than the disabled person. In addition, behaviors that take place in the bathroom, changing clothes, and going out are difficult to carry out without the help of somebody. Therefore, when planning a living space, facilities should be supported to reduce the efforts of caregivers. In addition, there is a need for a comfortable space plan for carrying out activities with and without caretakers.
