Prilagajanje grajenega bivalnega okolja za potrebe starej ih ljudi : Adapting the built living environment for the needs of older people

Zaradi staranja prebivalstva se razvite dr ave vse bolj spopadajo s pove evanjem potreb po zagotavljanju ustrezne stanovanjske oskrbe za starej e ljudi in (s tem) s pove evanjem finan nih potreb za zagotavljanje zdravstvenih in socialnih storitev za starej e. lanekizhaja iz predpostavke, da bi lahko te potrebe zmanj ali s fizi nim (pre)oblikovanjem grajenega bivalnega okolja, s imer bi starej im ljudem omogo ili, da bi lahko im dlje ostali v doma em okolju, v katerem bi bili sposobni iveti im samostojneje in im boljkakovostno. Predstavljeni in kriti no analizirani so trije pristopi: prilagajanje bivalnega okolja po na elu oblikovanja za vse, preureditev bivalnega okolja v pametno (inteligentno) okolje na podlagi podpornih tehnologij, vklju itev bivalnega okolja v omre jeoddaljenega nadzora. Izkazalo se je, da se kljub prednostim in prilo nostim preoblikovanja grajenega prostora pojavljajo tevilne pomanjkljivosti, nevarnosti in dileme. V sklepu so predstavljena razmi ljanja o na inih in mo nosti uveljavitve obravnavanih pristopovv praksi; Due to ageing of the population, developed countries are dealing with increasing needs in providing adequate residential care for older people and (with this) demands in providing appropriate social and services for the elderly. This article assumes thatthese needs could be reduced with the physical (re) design of the built living environment, by which elderly people would be given the opportunity to remain in their home environments as long as possible, capable of independently living with as high a quality of life as possible. Three approaches are presented and critically evaluated: adaptation of the living environment according to the principles of design for all, arrangement of living environments in the smart (intelligent) environment based on the assistive technologies, integration of the living environment into a remote monitoring network. It turns out that despite the advantages and opportunities of the built environment redesigning many weaknesses, risks and dilemmas appear. In the conclusion, some ideas are presented on how approaches discussed could be implemented in practice.
