根据欧洲共同体和意大利国家统计局(ISTAT)调查的最新研究，欧洲人口的平均年龄最高。根据这些数据，在不久的将来，可能有必要从基于集中护理系统的福利模式转变为基于某些医疗设施分布的系统[1]。这意味着，由于更好的生活方式、创新的医疗保健和更广泛的获得不同服务的机会，老龄化人口正在不断增加。这项工作试图观察和分析建筑和室内设计特征以及新的、非侵入性的交互技术的关键影响，这些技术与用户交互设计和住房场景中环境的可用性有关。这些主题尤其与生活在自己家中或接受援助之家内的自主性或半自主性的老年人有关。例如，根据“社区照顾”的方法，人们可以通过将健康和社会护理服务带入人们的家中，为日常需要提供援助，并重新激活当地社区的潜力，尽可能地在他们熟悉的环境中生活得更长。个人生活的两个重要方面是家庭自治和邻里之间良好的持续关系，以便在不断变化的条件下保持健康的生活方式。这引出了一个有趣的研究问题：房屋和智能家电是否有潜力提高自主性和人们的生活质量？哪种方法、工具和情景可以提高幸福感和健康状况，同时减少时间和成本？数据在不同的场景中进行分析，从全球范围开始，然后重点关注欧洲和意大利的背景，提供了房屋的建筑和技术特征以及用户反馈的清晰视图，有助于定义适合于满足不断增长的人口需求的未来家庭场景。这部分研究的最终结果是由一系列名为“用户反馈评估”的蓝图组成，这些蓝图使人们能够了解和归类无障碍房屋应该具备的系统、辅助设备、智能设备和功能，以改善老年居民的生活条件。在研究的第二阶段，用户反馈分析可能带来一种新的设计方法的定义，使用户能够和促进专业人员。这是通过开发一种整体的方法并将创新的工具和方法与现有的工具和方法相结合来实现的，以便通过提供更多不引人注目的智能设备来预见老龄人口的未来需求。智能家电应该集成在无障碍、长寿的无障碍住宅中，让老年居民以更安全、更自主的方式在自己的家中停留更长时间。
According to the latest research by the European Community and ISTAT (Italian National Institute of Statistics) surveys, Europe has the highest average age for its population. According to those data, in the near future, it could be necessary to move from a welfare model based on the centralization of care systems, to a system based on the distribution of certain healthcare facilities [1]. This means that the ageing population is ever increasing, thanks to better lifestyles, innovative medical care and wider access to different services. This work seeks to observe and analyse key implications of architectural and interior design features and new, non-invasive, interactive technologies, related to user interaction design and usability of environments within the housing scenario. Those themes are particularly related to ageing people who live in autonomously or semi-autonomously within their own homes or assisted homes. For example, according to the "community care" approach, people could live as long as possible in their familiar environment, by bringing health and social care services into people's home, providing assistance for everyday needs and re-activating the potential of local communities. Two vital aspects of the life of an individual, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle despite ever-changing conditions, are domestic autonomy and good sustained relationships within the neighbourhood. This leads to an interesting research issue: could houses and smart appliances have the potential to improve autonomy and people's quality of life? Which kind of methods, tools and scenarios could enhance wellbeing and healthy conditions, while reducing time and costs? Data, analysed in different scenarios, starting from a worldwide and then focusing on Europe and Italian context, provides a clear view of house's architectural and technological features and user feedback, useful to define a future household scenario suitable to meet the needs of a growing population. The final result of this part of the research is composed of a series of blueprints called "User Feedback Evaluation" which enable people in understanding and categorising the classes of systems, aids, smart devices and features that a barrier-free house should have for improving living conditions of ageing residents. In a second stage of the research the user feedback analysis could bring the definition of a new Design approach for enabling user and facilitating professionals. This is achieved by developing a holistic method and merging innovative tools and approaches with existing ones, in order to foresee the future needs of the ageing people through provision of additional unobtrusive Smart devices. The smart appliances should be integrated in accessible, barrier-free, "Long-life friendly" houses, to allow the senior residents to remain for longer in their own home in a safer and autonomous way.
