As Korea has rapidly entered the aging society, the Korean government and academia are currently undergoing many researches on senior citizens. There also has been an increase in senior citizens' awareness on the importance of spatial designs that reflect the newly emerged needs brought out by their psychological and emotional changes as well as their physical aspects. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to propose a model for senior citizens' image preference to be adopted in future developments for senior-friendly spatial designs. A literature review and a questionnaire survey were implemented as research methods. The questionnaire survey was conducted at two senior welfare centers located in Seoul and Ansan and two disparate senior colleges, on the subjects of 86 senior citizens aged 60 and older. 7 styles of Romantic, Classic, Country, Modern, Natural, Casual, and Traditional were chosen for the study and the realms to apply the image preference were divided into Space, Element1 and Element2. For Space, its subcategories have been restricted to living room and bedroom while color, furniture and lighting for Element1 and material, pattern and props for Element2. Survey results were statistically analyzed for the correlation among socio-demographic factors of senior citizens, spaces and the elements. The study result showed that older age and men tended to prefer the modern style than younger age or women, and younger women preferred the romantic style. For the color preference in Element1, older men preferred the classic style while women preferred the romantic style. And, for the furniture preference, men with higher income preferred the natural style while women preferred the romantic style. For the pattern preference in Element2, younger people preferred the casual style and it showed that the housing type was the main reason for their preferences. Therefore, the image preference according to their age and gender shall be taken account of as the most important factors when designing environments for senior citizens.

문제 정의
The purpose of this research was to study the image preference reflecting the emotional status of senior citizens and applying the found image preferences to the elderly environments as they are highly affected by the socio-demographic differences. The findings are as follows.
Through the literature review and questionnaire survey, this research analyzes the trend in image preferences of senior citizens that are expected to be extensively affected in the future.
제안 방법
A set of eight large image boards with the dimension of 297mm×420mm was prepared for each space and factor in order to help the senior citizens to understand and visualize the research items for the survey.
Two senior’s welfare centers and two senior’s colleges in Seoul and Ansan was selected for survey. After finishing survey, SPSS was used for analyzing cross tabulation, Spearman correlation, and non-liner canonical correlation.
Chapter 3 explains the general outline and the methods of the questionnaire survey throughout the process. Chapter 4 is an analysis on the research findings in which the correlation between the image preferences and the socio-demographic factors were analyzed for the purpose of proposing and applying the preferred styles to the living spaces and the environments.
Next, image preference survey results were analyzed through a cross-tabulation process.
Prior to the selection of interior design styles to be used for the research’s analytic framework, an advanced research on precedent cases of interior design styles was conducted in order to grasp the overall picture.
The purpose of this study is to find the preferred interior design styles depending on socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, economic status and educational background, to investigate the correlation between the preferred image and the sociodemographic factors, and to eventually understand the interactions between senior citizens and their environments.
The socio-demographic factor was analyzed by utilizing frequency analysis and the image preference investigation was analyzed through a mean value analysis, a cross-tabulation process and a correlation analysis. The correlation was calculated based on the answers of respondents for numbering the given items in the least preferred order.
Thus, considerations on the image preferences as they reflect the socio-demographic figures are critical when planning environments for senior citizens. This study may exhibit its implicit limitations as its sampling could not cover the entire distribution of senior population, especially due to uneven distribution of gender and age; for this reason, there raises a necessity to increase the sample size and the research findings include certain restrictions when being applied to designing environments. However, the study is a helpful tool as a general guideline when designing built environments and spaces for senior citizens.
대상 데이터
In a span of 4∼6 days, 4 facilities in Seoul and Asnan were selected where about 25 respondents per facility were asked to do the survey.
The survey was led by a authors and two assistant researchers and was implemented before or after the program of the senior’s college or welfare center was held.
This survey was conducted in June 2010 to senior citizens aged 60 or above. It was performed after receiving permissions from the facilities where the senior citizens frequently visit.
Two senior’s welfare centers and two senior’s colleges in Seoul and Ansan was selected for survey.
이론/모형
The preliminary, primary, secondary, and tertiary investigations were used as image preference selection methods. For selecting proper style images, we performed several processes as shown [Table 3]
This research study was based on the analysis of Kim, Kyung-Sook's interior design style classification system since it serves well as a common scale for a basic analysis of image preferences.
성능/효과
75). For color, the survey result indicated a preference distribution of Romantic with 4.03%, Natural 3.91%, and Casual 3.81%. For furniture, Modern was the highest with 3.
Image preferences for bedrooms under the Age category had a negative correlation to the Romantic Style which most of younger people preferred (r=–0.333**), and the Modern Style showed a positive correlation which majority of old people preferred (r=0.224*).
Some of the categories that are considered as uncommon or inappropriate from this system such as Ethnic, Hi-tech, Minimal, and Elegant styles were excluded8) and one additional category which is Traditional style was added9) to the 7 existing categories as the style is familiar to the senior citizen group. The final chosen image preferences for this study were Romantic, Classic, Country, Modern, Natural, Casual, and Traditional. The chosen image preferences were arranged into space, Element1 and Element2.
