摘要

目的 建筑设计对于老年人的功能性和安全性至关重要。人们往往不愿谈论老年生活及其相关的赡养问题;然而,这是不可避免的。本文旨在强调考虑到尼日利亚老年公民的住宅设计要点。 设计/方法/途径本研究采用了定性研究技术。研究结果研究结果表明,大多数受访者认为老年是人生的一个阶段,应在家居设计中优先考虑。受访者认为照明、家具、固定装置和电气装置是居家养老的基本要素。原创性/价值这项研究的独特性和实用性突出表现在目前的住宅设计文化与老年人居住现实之间的差距,以及是否适合满足与老年相关的不断变化的需求。它将鼓励住宅发展提供可持续住宅的文化和责任,使每个人都能使用,并为老年人提供情感和身体安全。

Consideration of senior citizens in private residential design in Sub-Saharan Africa: reflections from Akure, Nigeria
PurposeThe design of buildings is crucial to functionality and safety for senior citizens. People often refrain from talking about old age and its related support; however, it is inevitable. The paper aims to highlight the essentials of a home design that considers the aged citizens in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative research technique is used in the study. A closed-ended questionnaire and an interview were used to gather information on the requirements for aging-in-place basics in home design from middle-aged and elderly households.FindingsFindings from the study revealed that a majority of the respondents considered old age as a phase of life to prioritize in home design. Lighting, furniture and fixtures and electrical installations are variously perceived by the respondents as aging-in-place essentials.Practical implicationsThe study has far-reaching consequences for the built environment, particularly for homeowners. It is related to the third sustainable development goal (SDG), which seeks to secure the health and well-being of people of all ages.Originality/valueThe study's uniqueness and usefulness are highlighted in the gaps between present house design culture and the reality of senior citizen occupants' dwellings, as well as the appropriateness to satisfy changing demands associated with old age. It would encourage homes to develop the culture and duty of providing a sustainable home that is accessible to everybody and provides emotional and physical safety for the elderly.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation publishes findings on contemporary and original research towards sustaining, maintaining and managing existing buildings. The journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of buildings, their performance and adaptation in order to develop appropriate technical and management solutions. This requires an holistic understanding of the complex interactions between the materials, components, occupants, design and environment, demanding the application and development of methodologies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in this multidisciplinary area. With rapid technological developments, a changing climate and more extreme weather, coupled with developing societal demands, the challenges to the professions responsible are complex and varied; solutions need to be rigorously researched and tested to navigate the dynamic context in which today''s buildings are to be sustained. Within this context, the scope and coverage of the journal incorporates the following indicative topics: • Behavioural and human responses • Building defects and prognosis • Building adaptation and retrofit • Building conservation and restoration • Building Information Modelling (BIM) • Building and planning regulations and legislation • Building technology • Conflict avoidance, management and disputes resolution • Digital information and communication technologies • Education and training • Environmental performance • Energy management • Health, safety and welfare issues • Healthy enclosures • Innovations and innovative technologies • Law and practice of dilapidation • Maintenance and refurbishment • Materials testing • Policy formulation and development • Project management • Resilience • Structural considerations • Surveying methodologies and techniques • Sustainability and climate change • Valuation and financial investment
