Abstract

Home modification or adaptation is an important global issue, especially for older people living with disabilities in ordinary housing of varying ages, and pre-dating concerns about accessibility in design. Comparisons of research from five developed nations identify common themes: variation in integrated service development; public and private financial investment; deferred health costs; workforce expansion and training; and the value of the user perspective. Further discussion identifies the importance of retrofitting alongside new build, and argues for sustainable housing that recognizes population aging but also issues of climate change and the need for more inclusive design of housing for all ages.

住房改造/适应*对居家养老影响的跨文化比较思考

家庭改造或改造是一个重要的全球问题，尤其是对于居住在不同年龄的普通住房中的残疾老年人，以及约会前对设计无障碍性的担忧。对五个发达国家的研究进行比较，确定了共同的主题：综合服务发展的差异；公共和私人金融投资；递延医疗费用；劳动力扩充和培训；以及用户视角的价值。进一步的讨论确定了在新建的同时进行改造的重要性，并主张可持续住房，既要认识到人口老龄化，也要认识到气候变化问题，以及为所有年龄段的人设计更具包容性的住房的必要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
