STUDY ON GROUP HOUSE FOR THE AGED FROM THE ANGLE OF GENDER AND LIVING TOGETHER WITH VARIOUS GENERATION

本研究旨在从社会性别及不同世代共同居住的角度，探讨集体住宅的效能。调查结果如下。大部分居民选择集体住宅，以减轻家庭对他们的照顾任务。多数女性居民经常使用公共空间，而多数男性居民适度使用公共空间，白天在自己的房间里度过。大多数女性居民与其他女性居民积极接触，另一方面，大多数男性居民不与其他居民接触，但与自己的妻子和家人谁来看望他们接触。女性居民和男性居民在公共空间中的行为区域不同。女性居民倾向于集体行动，而男性则是单独行动。女性居民在公共空间的行为倾向于广泛，而男性居民的行为有限。男性居民对女性居民的小组工作感兴趣，但很少参与该小组。住在集体宿舍里的老人和孩子之间有很多接触。这件事产生了一种像一个大家庭的气氛。几位未婚女性居民是否积极接触团体之家的老人，取决于她们的意见和工作情况。
