The purpose of the study is to present the social welfare center planning
factors of space for promoting intergenerational exchanges between the elderly
and children. To achieve the purpose, the study conducted a survey of
professionals on the consciousness and necessity of research and the importance
of planning factors. The results are as follows.
First, the planning level and utilization level of the exchange space of the
general social welfare center is low now, whereas the need and necessity o fthere is a need for systematic and specific spatial planning by space planners
as regards generation exchange spaces in social welfare centers.
Second, it is identified that in order to promote intergenerational exchanges,
there need to plan planning factors of each space, especially with focus on
'outdoor space' and 'specific space.'
Third, 'specific space' presents high levels of planning elements corresponding
to physical support and to support interaction. It is therefore necessary to
provide a reasonably dense, self-agnostic space using architectural elements to
support the development of the elderly and infants, and to support the safe
activities of two generations. Social assistance needs to be planned more
carefully as it resulted in the second highest dedicated space as a result of the
social worker's questionnaire on the space appropriate for social support. Using
the appropriate furniture or fixtures for a small group space or chat needs to
help various social activities take place within the space.
Fourth, it is unveiled that the supports of physical behaviors are of the most
importance in 'connecting space'. Fourth, so it is necessary to plan carefully
using various planning elements to act as a safe path for the elderly and infants
to move freely.
Finally, as with the social worker survey on the areas appropriate to support
the support direction, 'outdoor spaces' showed high importance of support for
physical development and planning for social support. Therefore, it is necessary
to provide a wide range of external spaces and providing small and diverse
outdoor spaces to increase the working range of the elderly and promoting intergenerational exchanges between the elderly and children.
The study is expected to be utilized as the preliminary data which proposes
the social welfare center planning factors of space for promoting
intergenerational exchanges between the elderly and children.
