Abstract

Since the end of the 1980s, the concept of community housing for the elderly has been established abroad. The advantages and disadvantages of this alternative housing for the aging generation are discussed in the context of various theoretical backgrounds and practical approaches. The aim of the article is to off er a view of the advantages and disadvantages of this concept from the perspective of the inhabitants of these communities abroad. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents and one community housing manager in Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. The interviews were evaluated with the help of the Atlas.ti 7 program. On the part of the participants, community housing for seniors is evaluated mostly positively; according to their statements, the negatives result from problems related to socialisation within the community. The fi ndings obtained during the interviews are in line with other previously conducted research. They fulfi l the postulates about the advantages of community housing for seniors, and they also confi rm the disadvantages already formulated in the literature. Considering all the verbalised advantages and disadvantages of community housing for the elderly in conversations, this type of housing can also be a welcome alternative for a certain part of the senior population in the Czech Republic.

老年人社区住房作为社会支持和预防社会排斥的来源

自20世纪80年代末以来，国外已经确立了社区养老住房的概念。在各种理论背景和实践方法的背景下，讨论了这种替代住房的优点和缺点。本文的目的是从国外这些社区居民的角度出发，对这一概念的利弊进行分析。对奥地利、德国、丹麦和瑞典的居民和一名社区住房经理进行了九次半结构化访谈。访谈是在地图集的帮助下进行评估的。Ti 7程序。参与者对社区养老住房的评价以正面为主;根据他们的陈述，负面影响来自与社区内社会化有关的问题。在访谈中获得的调查结果与以前进行的其他研究一致。他们满足了关于老年人社区住房的优点的假设，他们也证实了文献中已经制定的缺点。考虑到对话中老年人社区住房的所有口头优点和缺点，这种类型的住房也可以成为捷克共和国某些老年人的一个受欢迎的选择。
