台北地區中老齡人口生活環境適宜性之研究
摘要
老人接觸大自然植物、並有和社會接觸的機會,可以減少老人病症的發生與復原。本研究透過面對面問卷及電子郵件來調查居住於台北地區中老年人對於生活環境的滿意度、喜歡公園的原因、公園類型喜好度、及公園景觀設施配置喜好度。結果發現受訪者對公園綠地顯著為最高度需求之環境條件,這個結果和第一次初步問卷是一致的。到公園的目的都是因為可及性高才喜歡到公園,其次為公園環境良好吸引他(她)們前來。中老齡人口心中最希望擁有的公園中屋頂或中庭花園是最被期待的,對這個族群的人口而言由於行動漸趨不變,能方便到達公園活動是極為重要的要件。中老齡人口對公園景觀設施的偏好調查結果對庭園景觀設施需求度以休息座椅、擁有陽光及遮蔭空間、及良好視野顯著優於其他項目。
關鍵詞: 老人、問卷、公園、屋頂或中庭花園、景觀設施
