| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺灣大學 === 建築與城鄉研究所 === 98 === “Aging in place” is a common consensus in recent years. While the number of aged persons, particularly frail elderly, is rising, we need to modify existing houses with universal design for physical disabled. This paper presents findings from a study on home modification problem for the elderly. The research conducted in-depth interviews with elderly who don’t want to move into institutions and still live in the apartments without elevator in Taipei. The factors influence the behavior of home modification including space attribute, personal character and support system. We should promote the cooperation among different professions and build an integration service system to assist in modifying houses for the elderly.
