“…With the improvement of economic living standards, attention must be paid to both the material and spiritual needs of elderly people. Studies on the subjective assessment of elderly people's satisfaction with their housing, their needs, and their preferences for housing design have gradually become a research focus [16,17]. Studies usually combine physical measurements of the indoor environment and subjective evaluations to assess senior housing and make recommendations regarding the comfort, convenience, and safety of senior housing [17].…”

This study aims to analyze the indoor environment preferences of Chinese urban elderly, to create a living environment that is beneficial to the physical and mental health of Chinese elderly, and to enhance their sense of well-being. Based on an in-depth study of 306 urban elderly’s bedroom indoor environment preference in 21 Chinese provinces, using questionnaire method, this study concludes that: (1) Group characteristics: for urban elderly, the key words for bedroom color and lighting preference are low saturation, bright, warm tones and warm white light; personal characteristics such as the gender, physical condition, and education have a strong correlation with factors in the indoor living environment; (2) Physical environment preferences: gender presents the most significant potential effect on elderly physical environment preferences; (3) Established indicator system: the indicator system includes five main indicators of basic bedroom conditions, bedroom materials, bedroom colors, bedroom physical environment and other soft furnishings, and 22 sub-indicators. This study has some implications for guiding the design of elderly’s apartments and the bedroom environment, as well as effectively using the indoor environment to meet the physiological and psychological needs of the urban elderly.

“…Ismail et al [30] examined the housing preferences of senior citizens in Malaysia. In the Netherlands, an experiment was carried out in which senior citizens' housing preferences were combined with a parallel senior citizens' housing project based on the best attributes indicated by seniors [31]. In Slovenia, the reluctance of seniors to change their place of residence was highlighted.…”

This article identifies and compares the housing preferences of seniors and pre-senior citizens in Poland. In addition, the attitude of residents of large cities in the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship towards senior citizens’ housing was determined. Surveys were conducted in the two largest cities of this region. The influence of the potential behaviors of this group of society on the development of housing was also examined. Results showed that differentiation of housing preferences was visible primarily when choosing the type of development and size of the dwelling. Seniors preferred smaller units in multi-family housing construction. Pre-senior citizens, on the other hand, were more likely to think about living in a single-family house. The location of a new dwelling was also important. Seniors, more often than people aged 50–59, chose a location in the city center. Pre-senior citizens, in contrast, more often decided to live in a rural area or outside the city center. Moreover, the attitude of seniors towards senior citizens’ housing is undecided, which may indicate that many people may change their housing preferences in the future and decide to move.

“…Certainly, a broader integrated approach in allowing spatial complexities in the formulation of an implementable solution could facilitate more effective aging-in-place [3,9,11]. Not much is known yet about how to translate these preferences into practical living concepts and architectural design [14]. An optimized living concept should categorically consider the architecturally feasible combinations of dwelling while considering various aging-friendly urban attributes highly recommended by the WHO [15,16].…”

Background: Aging is key to inclusion, and it should be taken into account when designing every place of human activity. However, the implementation of such guidelines often fails the human-centric aspiration as health and design domain interpretation gaps impede the suitable reading and implementation strategies. Purpose: This study aimed to understand critical factors in the place-of-aging and to examine the gap in domain interpretation affecting age-friendly housing. Methods: Using grounded theory as a base, questionnaire interviews were implemented either face-to-face or through an online process by health and design domain experts. Overall, 40 respondents (20 health and 20 design experts) evaluated the key criteria to prioritize according to their value of importance. The factor analysis resulted in the stated deviation, suggesting a necessity to redefine the attributes of the dwelling based on a people, place and process framework. Results: The systemic analysis affirmed the inter-disciplinary gap to enhancing the dwelling provision. The health domain experts consistently ranked the criteria higher or equal than the design domain except for safety and security criteria. Both domains agreed that affordability is a main concern, as elders must be able to afford their dwelling choice. Conclusion: The valuable finding of the key criteria in the study is to uphold the value of the urban health resilience implication as the core of this study.
