Retirement in a rural landscape: A housing option for rural seniors.

摘要

The intent of this thesis is to revaluate the prevailing conditions through which housing options are currently available to rural seniors. The fundamental position is to develop a strategy that reappraises the way we currently address the issue of senior housing. The aim is to put forward a housing project for rural seniors which provides an environment that embraces and complements the life needs of retirement.; Increasingly seniors would like more say regarding how they retire. They would prefer to have options available to them that allow them to remain embedded in the social communities and physical environments in which they already reside. Accordingly, they would like a say in how this physical and social environment is shaped.; This thesis outlines one possible methodology through which a rural retirement may be brought to bear.
