| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we focused on the interaction between residents at a group home for the elderly with dementia in pursuit of a comprehensive environmental design that captures both the human and physical environments. Through our questionnaire surveys for staff at the group home for the elderly with dementia, we were able to determine the current status and issues surrounding how caregivers maintain the physical environment to in turn create a better human environment, including setting up seating arrangements that take human relations into account as well as table arrangements for small groups.
Through a group living survey involving elderly individuals with dementia, we were also able to determine the current status and issues regarding support for the daily life of elderly individuals with dementia offered by a human environment that makes minor forms of support from the operators and other residents possible.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
認知症高齢者の生活環境(人的・物理的)において、介護者が果たす役割は大きい。本研究では、設計段階で反映できていない細やかな物理的環境、あるいは人的環境を良好にするための物理的環境を介護者が担っていることが明らかになった。現在のグループホームの環境デザインにおいて、これらが設計段階で考慮されていることは稀である。制度基準遵守に留まらない介護者や高齢者の声を反映した設計指針へと展開できる点で学術的意義および社会的意義がある。
