  1. “VULNERABLE SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING PROVIDED BY THE STATE OF CHILE, RISK EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT THROUGH ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN ” Marcela Pizzi - John Chalmers - Viviana Fernández - Daniel Bunout - Paulina Osorio - Valentina Avendaño - Macarena Cusato - Karen Rivera University of Chile 

  2. Hypothesis Seniors autonomy in performing Basic Activities of Daily Living, (BADL) and risk is directly related with architectural and equipment design. In these terms functionality depends not only on physiological aspects but is also is affected by the formal characteristics of the environment. With an adequate diagnosis it is posible to develop guidelines for more aproppriate designs for this age group.

  3. Objectives Contrast dimensional characteristics of the built environment and performance of BADL in representative cases of housing provided by the State of Chile to autonomous seniors.

  4. Senior Public Policies in Chile Needs are acknowledged for the first time 1990 Special Attention Programs sets aside 2% of social housing stock from government programs. Does not include special design conditions 1997 Senior Condominiums 1 level housing (25m2) with some adaptions plus common spaces. 2007 for independent seniors (Condominiums) for dependent seniors (Long stay establishments) 2012

  5. LOCATION 1990 Special Attention Program 1997 Condominiums for Seniors 2007 Supervized Housing

  6. 1990 Special Attention Program 1. “El Refugio”, Puente Alto 8 cases

  7. 1997 Condominiums for Seniors “La Primavera” 8 cases

  8. 2007 Supervized Condominiums “Tuteladas San Ramón“ 8 cases

  9. Based on the Katz Scale which considers self-care tasks Personal Hygiene and grooming Dressing and undressing Self feeding Functional transfers (getting into and out of bed or wheelchair, getting onto or off toilet, etc.) Bowel and bladder management Ambulation (walking without use of an assistive device (walker, cane, or crutches) or using a wheelchair Katz, S; Ford, A.B.; Moskowitz, A.W.; Jackson, B.A.; Jaffe, M.W; 1963

  10. We identified de spaces and equipment directly related to the activity describing in detail the operations needed for each of them, and identify risk during performance. Operations Functional Transfers Personal Hygiene and grooming Dressing and Undressing Use of Toilet Self feeding Heat Water Enter or get out shower or tub Open water taps Reach Shower Reach soap Reach towels Sit on toilet Raise from toilet Reach Cutlery Reach pots and Pans Reach Food Wash Utensils Open closets Unhang clothes Open Drawers Close Drawers Open Main Door Enter house Close Main Door Move Between rooms Enter Bedroom Enter Bathroom Enter Kitchen Go to patio Bathing Hand Washing Heat Water Open water taps Reach soap Wash hands Wash body Wash hair Reach towels

  11. E D I M R D I M Requirements Imposed to the senior by the activity Disfunctions Incoherencies between the housing design and senior’s functionality Impacts Consequences on senior’s autonomy Relation between housing design and Impacts on seniors Morphology

  12. We developed data collection instruments Identification

  13. Valued Impact for activity performance Fear 1 1 Discomfort Difficulty 1 Pain 1 Chooses not to perform 5

  14. Methodology Professionals Based on Knowledge Objective Seniors Based on his/her life experiences Subjetive Based on Documents References Based on disciplinary knowledge and codes

  15. In a first level analysis of the data from the point of how many operations present problems in their preformance, we can tell the most conflictive actions

  16. In a second level of analysis, looking for the presence of Requirements , we find out those most relevant related to Height – Equilibrium – Strength – Mobility and Clenching

  17. In a third level of analysis, we search for the Impacts, (Consequences) such as Fear - Discomfort - Difficulty Pain and Inhibition (Chooses or cannot perform).

  18. Major Findings Exterior Spaces Need of Outdoor Spaces Related to the Unit
