“…The mobility intention was more associated with the physical environment than social environment. Kim et al (2010) found that Korean baby boomers were favored an active post-retirement life where they could enjoy proper leisure without considerable change in daily-routines.…”

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Cohousing is a form of intentional community that has started in Scandinavian countries where typical nuclear family structure changed rapidly compared to other countries. Intentional community is a settlement that a group of people with same idea has established intentionally to form a more humane living environment. Cohousing communities are neighborhood developments that creatively mix private dwellings and common facilities to recreate a sense of community, while preserving a high degree of individual privacy. In cohousing community, residents actively participate in the design and operation of daily living. Cohousing encourages shared living, sees members, jointly build and develop urban housing projects. Through an emphasis on traffic-free development and reference to strong community sentiment, cohousing is construed by parents as providing a safer and more desirable location for raising children (Tchoukaleyska, 2011). Cohousing is also considered as a desirable living arrangement for elders from the perspective of secure housing environment, mutual support amongst residents, making use of human resources after retirement and decrease of loneliness (Choi & Paulsson, 2006; Glass, 2009).Cohousing goes beyond theory as the phenomenon that started in Scandinavia 30 years ago is now spreading in the Anglo-Saxon world since the 1990s, and more recently in the rest of Europe and in Japan (Lietaert, 2010). There are various examples of cohousing communities fitted to each country' s situation. Sweden is one of the most noted countries, which has higher proportion of married women at the labor market, and also of older people over 65 among whole population than other countries. These social situations might have influenced

“…Retirement can be a time when people start thinking about making changes to where they live (Russell, 2000). More than half of Korean baby boomers have intention to move after retirement (Kim, Lee & Yoon, 2010;Im & Baek, 2011). Housing alternatives for active aging are sought for in order to strengthen a sense of community and to meet changing housing needs as well as physical, financial, and emotional needs.…”

The purpose of this study was to find the role of participation in common activities and satisfaction with common space in a tentative housing adjustment framework for Swedish cohousing residents, applying the housing adjustment behavior model of Winter (1978, 1996). The data used for this research were a subset of data Choi and Paulsson (2011) surveyed from 12 Swedish cohousing units. Number of 216 cases whose age was 40 and over were selected and analyzed with Pearson correlations and hierarchical linear regressions by SPSS. The regression analyses included four main concepts as endogenous variables, which were participation in common activities, satisfaction with common space, overall life satisfaction, and intention to move out. The results showed that participation in common activities raised satisfaction with common space and overall life satisfaction but reduced intention to move out. Meanwhile, satisfaction with common space diminished intention to move out but did not impact overall life satisfaction. When overall life satisfaction was added to the final regression model, the direct impacts of security reasons, participation in common activities, and satisfaction with common space on intention to move out disappeared. It may be concluded that participation in common activities and satisfaction with common space acted as intervening variables in the tentative cohousing adjustment framework. Even though this study leaves further research on specifying the framework, it may be noteworthy as a first attempt that explains the flow of main concepts. This study may broaden the possibility of empirical studies to develop an analytical path model of housing adjustment for cohousing residents.

This study examined differences in middle-aged adults’ preferred features of their current versus future residential environments and how these differences varied by health and social characteristics. A sample of 1,651 Korean middle-aged adults (aged 49–64) rated their preferences for each of 12 features (e.g., proximity to family/relatives, house price) regarding current and future residential environments, separately. Respondents considered “accessibility to health services” and “opportunity for leisure activities” more important for future residential environments than for current ones. Respondents with poorer health considered features that help them compensate for health decline more important, while those who contacted friends/neighbors more frequently and participated in more cultural activities considered features that help them maintain their social interactions more important for future residential environments than the past. Our findings identified middle-aged adults’ various demands for residential features after retirement, which reflect their strategic reactions to future needs for successful adaptation in later years.
