“…This chronological definition for older people is also applicable in the East Asia region (e.g. South Korea and HK) (Chang et al , 2012; Ting and Mok, 2011). There is a natural phenomenon that with aging, the physical strength and cognitive capability of older people decrease, and their frailty increase (gradual loss of lower extremity muscle power leads to decline in mobility, and chronically cognitive declines with age) (Jimison et al , 2004; Reid et al , 2014; Sieber, 2007).…”

Purpose The world was facing significant aging challenges. Aging in place has long been advocated which reflected the preference of older people to stay in their own home as long as possible. A huge amount of older people resided in private buildings that consist of both indoor settings (i.e. individual unit flats) and outdoor settings (i.e. common areas like lobby and corridor). The effect of indoor environment on the quality of life of the older people has been investigated, while this paper aims to examine the different effect of common areas environment for the older people. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was administered among over 300 older people living in private buildings. Multiple statistical techniques, including reliability test, correlation coefficient and multiple regression models, were used to analyze the collected data to determine the interactions between facilities management of the common areas in private buildings and the environment domain of quality of life for older people. Findings The final results were concluded based on the congruence of all the statistical results, which covered the identification of facilities management factors in common areas of private buildings that could influence the environment domain of quality of life for older people, including overall environment, health-care accessibility, information acquisition and transportation aspects; the overall environment was positively predicted by space and security in common areas of private building; health-care accessibility was positively affected by space, barrier-free facilities and recreational facilities; the information acquisition was only positively predicted by security; transportation was positively predicted by distance and recreational facilities; and building services of common areas in private buildings had no effect on the environment domain of quality of life for older people. Originality/value Practical recommendations have been made to improve the facilities management of common areas in private buildings to ensure the quality of life for older people, including provision of walking assistance, motion or infrared controlled systems and so on. This study contributed to enhance current understanding of the interactions between the older people and their living environment.

Bu çalışma, yaşlı bireylerin kendilerine ve yaşamlarına ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek ve değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, niteliksel olarak planlanmış olup, Bilecik/Türkiye' de bir huzurevinde kalan yaş ortalaması 73.50±6.94 (65-86 yaş aralığında) olan 16 yaşlı birey ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak "Bilgi Formu" ve "Kendini ve Yaşamını Değerlendirme Materyali" kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların verdiği yanıtlar analiz edilmiş, onların kendilerini ve yaşamlarını değerlendirmeye ilişkin görüşleri beş ana temada ele alınmıştır. Bunlar; "sağlık değerlendirmesi", "psikolojik değerlendirme", "aktivite değerlendirmesi", "ekonomik değerlendirme" ve "genel yaşam değerlendirmesi"dir. Bu değerlendirme sonuçlarına göre, yaşlı bireylerin yaşamını bağımsız bir şekilde sürdürme, aile bireyleri ile birlikte yaşama ve ibadetlerinidini ritüellerini yapabilme gibi düşünceleri belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu yaşlı bireyler yaşamlarına yönelik farklı pişmanlıklar yaşadıklarını da ifade etmişlerdir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, yaşlı bireyler, yaşlılık dönemini durgunluk dönemi olarak değil, geleceğe yönelik birçok plan ve isteği içeren bir dönem olarak görmektedirler.
