以通用設計觀點探討老人中心設計－以台北市為例

Exploring the Design of the Senior Center from the Perspective of Universal Design-Taking Taipei City as an Example

老人中心為高齡者活動的重要場所，本研究根據日本通用設計理念提出環境檢測項目，調查台北市13所老人中心，研究結論如下：1.國內老人中心缺乏日本公共建築通用設計注重對於視覺、聽覺、觸覺及反應訊息的「情報裝置」考量，以及對於「環境」及「安全」的重視。2.在移動空間、生活空間、情報装置、.環境、安全5個項目，檢測結果都趨向不符合通用設計。平均值最高為移動空間2.71，其餘依序為環境2.69、生活空間2.15、安全2.07及情報裝置1.85。3.老人中心之規劃不應只於停滯於無障礙環境的規範，應朝向供所有高齡者的全面性考量設計邁進。

 

The senior center is an important place for the elderly to participate in activities. This study proposes an environmental testing program based on the Japanese universal design concept. Investigating 13 senior centers in Taipei, the research conclusions are as follows: 1. The domestic senior center lacks the universal design of Japanese public buildings to focus on the ＂information device＂ considerations for visual, auditory, tactile and reactive messages, as well as the emphasis on ＂environment＂ and ＂security＂. 2. In the five items of mobile space, living space, information device, environment and security, the test results tend to be inconsistent with the universal design. The highest average value is 2.71 for mobile space, and the rest are in order by environment 2.69, living space 2.15, security 2.07 and information device 1.85.3. The planning of the senior center should not only be based on specifications that are stagnate in Barrier-free environment, but also it should be toward a comprehensive consideration design for all the elderly.
