Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, targeting support facilities for persons with disabilities, we clarified the composition of residential space and spatial functions corresponding to daily life from the viewpoints of facility positioning, all private rooms, division of living units, and separation of day and night. In addition, the composition of the facility was examined from the perspective of countermeasures against new coronavirus infection. As a result, we found that there are differences in the support provided depending on the targeted disabilities, that facilities with day/night separation tend to have larger activity rooms, and that there are no differences in the area composition between units and conventional types when it comes to private rooms. In addition, the study showed that private rooms are the most desirable in terms of countermeasures against COVID-19 infection.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

障害者支援施設は、主として重度の障害を持った人々の夜間の生活を支援するための施設であり、今後建替えが多く行われることが予想される。本研究では入居者の障害の種類によって求められる支援が異なる傾向があり、またその傾向によって求められる建築空間にも違いがあることを示し、学術的に高い成果を示した。また、新型コロナウイルス感染症対策の面から見た個室の優位性を示すなど、社会的にも大きな意義を持つ。
