| Research Abstract |
Much knowledge has been accumulated concerning nursing homes. Such knowledge is reflected in their designs today. From here on, it is necessary to understand and consider the evaluation of these facilities by the users themselves to improve the quality of life (QOL) in these facilities. Based on our belief that attachment conferred on new residences has a great effect on QOL afterwards, our research created evaluation indicators based on the concept of Place Attachment, and we surveyed elderly users of nursing homes. Our results demonstrated the effectiveness of these indicators, and we also obtained ideas about specific methods to create attachment to nursing homes. We also considered the relationships between the PA evaluation results, the possessions of facility users, and the evaluation of the living spaces by third parties.
