生活者とスタッフの人間集合からみた小規模多機能高齢者支援施設の環境の読み解きに関する試論: 人間集合の形からみた高齢者支援施設の環境の在り方に関する研究（その1)

摘要

This paper aims to clarify the actual conditions of the environment of small-scale elderly care facility in which individualized care is provided. In this paper, we interpret the environment of elderly care facilities as 'a support environment' which is unified the architectural environment and the human resources environment of the care staff. And we define the human gathering composed by care staff and residents as 'the support gathering' . Then we proposed the method of describing the every scenes of living activity by this support gathering. Data were collected from behavioral observations and examination of patterns in the use of space at the small-scale elderly care facility that has both Group Living and a Day Service. By defining "support gathering" such as Direct care, Conversation care, Organizing groups and Beholding , the authors clarified the actual situations of the support environment of small-scale elderly care facility.%本研究では，高齢者支援施設における環境の在り方を建築環境とrn人的環境の在り方の2つが統合された「サポート環境」と解釈し，rnここで展開される日々刻々の生活場面を生活者とスタッフが形成すrnる「サポート集合」と解釈して記述する方法を提案した．この方法rnにより個々人の意思が尊重される生活者とスタッフの共生の場であrnる小規模多機能高齢者支援施設のサポート環境の特質を読み解くこrnとを試みた．
