A study on the actual conditions on housing environment safety of the elderly living in an under-populated area

在这项研究中，我们研究了居住在人口稀少地区的农舍里的老年人。他们被迫过着比城市里的老年人更自给自足的生活。我们从人机工程学的角度，指居住在人口稀少地区的农舍中的老年人的居住环境和生活活动的实际情况。研究结果如下：1)在居室内日常生活的交通线路上，观察到多个台阶。它们的高度很高，很危险。由于在房子里走楼梯，心率和血压都会增加，通常情况下，房间里相当暗。需要采取特别措施，如即使在白天也要保持照明，增加照明设备的数量。3)总体来说，室内温度受外界温度影响较大。由于夏季高湿度可能导致中暑，因此需要鼓励使用空调。

In this study, we studied the elderly who live in a farmhouse in an under-populated area. They are forced to live a more self-sustained life than the elderly in an urban area. we refer to the actual conditions of the elderly who live in a farmhouse in an under-populated area on their housing environment and living activities, from human-engineering point of view. The results were as follows : 1) In traffic lines of their daily lives inside a house, many steps were observed. They were high and dangerous. The heart rate and blood pressure increase due to the steps 2) Inside a house, it was considerably dark in general. Taking special measures such as keeping lighting on even in the daytime and increasing the number of lighting fixtures are needed. 3) Generally, the room temperature was considerably affected by external temperature. Because high humidity in summer may cause heat stroke, use of air conditioner needs to be encouraged.
