Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study was to determine how to effectively utilize floor plan sketches (FPSs) to understand home living needs. Following a survey on the utilization of FPSs and a trial of their use, a conference of hypothetical cases was conducted to examine the effect of utilizing FPSs. FPSs were effective in enabling specific information to be shared in a short time, particularly information on the living environment. Moreover, their use stimulated imaginative thinking in those who lived in the home. These findings suggest that FPS utilization may lead to a broadening of support measures.
