Abstract

Furniture is an essential element in the area of human residence, and the necessity of system furniture suitable for the pursuit of unity in design, which clearly distinguishes the various and flexible arrangements and characteristics of space, is gradually expanding. The elderly population in Korea currently exceeds 15%, and is expected to be close to 40% by 2050. An increasing number of elderly generations are showing different behavioral patterns, such as sharing information, health care, and seeking independence from children. In order to maintain an independent daily life, a stable living environment has become essential, but as a result of a study that safety accidents caused by households increase due to a decrease in cognitive ability and physical ability, the need for a suitable household has increased. Therefore, the biological changes and characteristics of the elderly were investigated, and the concept definition, scope and limitations of system households were studied. In addition, by grasping the changes in the home appliance market and trends in the home appliance market, the design direction of system furniture required by the elderly was presented. ■ keyword :∣Aged Society∣Silver Generation∣System Furniture∣Universal Design∣ * 이 논문은 2020년도 건국대학교 KU학술연구비 지원에 의한 논문임. 접수일자 : 2020년 11월 30일 수정일자 : 2020년 12월 15일 심사완료일 : 2020년 12월 17일 교신저자 : 김성현, e-mail : [email protected] 고령세대의 시스템가구 방향성 고찰에 관한 연구 115
