Abstract
Under the influence of aging aggravation, more and more the elderly people spend most of their time in medical buildings. However, there is still a lack of research on the elderly satisfaction with the physical environment in medical buildings in China. A total of 15 medical buildings in Northeast China were selected. The satisfaction of the elderly in the medical building with the environment was investigated through questionnaires; the sound, light and heat environment in the medical building was measured by instruments. Using the regression analysis method, we get the systematic factors that affect the quality of life of the elderly, and some relevant policy suggestions are put forward. In addition, the influencing factors were classified and stratified. The analysis showed that the three main factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly are sound, light and heat. These three factors ensure that the elderly medical care at the same time to stabilize the elderly pension environment. The results showed that the sound pressure level (SPL) of the activity room of the medical building facing the street was generally higher than that of the medical building not facing the street. Most of the respondents are satisfied with the thermal environment of the activity room. This study provides a basis for improving the living environment of the elderly in the medical buildings in Northeast China.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Housing and the Built Environment is a scholarly journal presenting the results of scientific research and new developments in policy and practice to a diverse readership of specialists, practitioners and policy-makers. This refereed journal covers the fields of housing, spatial planning, building and urban development. The journal guarantees high scientific quality by a double blind review procedure. Next to that, the editorial board discusses each article as well. Leading scholars in the field of housing, spatial planning and urban development publish regularly in Journal of Housing and the Built Environment. The journal publishes articles from scientists all over the world, both Western and non-Western, providing a truly international platform for developments in both theory and practice in the fields of housing, spatial planning, building and urban development.
Journal of Housing and the Built Environment (HBE) has a wide scope and includes all topics dealing with people-environment relations. Topics concern social relations within the built environment as well as the physicals component of the built environment. As such the journal brings together social science and engineering. HBE is of interest for scientists like housing researchers, social geographers, (urban) planners and architects. Furthermore it presents a forum for practitioners to present their experiences in new developments on policy and practice. Because of its unique structure of research articles and policy and practice contributions, HBE provides a forum where science and practice can be confronted. Finally, each volume of HBE contains one special issue, in which recent developments on one particular topic are discussed in depth.
The aim of Journal of Housing and the Built Environment is to give international exposure to recent research and policy and practice developments on the built environment and thereby open up a forum wherein re searchers can exchange ideas and develop contacts. In this way HBE seeks to enhance the quality of research in the field and disseminate the results to a wider audience. Its scope is intended to interest scientists as well as policy-makers, both in government and in organizations dealing with housing and urban issues.
