Building A Better Built Environment for Older Australian's Ageing-in-place

大多数年长的澳大利亚人更喜欢退休后在原地养老。该项目旨在了解建筑环境作为一个综合系统如何支持(或阻碍)他们的就地老化，因为现有的澳大利亚建筑环境无法满足澳大利亚老年人独立生活的要求。该项目期望利用贝叶斯网络分析和互动设计图表，在有利于老龄的社区领域产生新的知识。预期结果包括一个基于证据的贝叶斯网络模型，该模型确定建筑环境如何影响社区中的独立生活，以及设计创新和指导方针，以改善澳大利亚老年人就地老龄化的建筑环境设计。

Most older Australians prefer to age in place after their retirement. This project aims to understand how the built environment as a comprehensive system supports (or hinders) their ageing-in-place given that the existing Australian built environment fails to meet older Australians' requirements for independent living. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of ageing-friendly communities using Bayesian Network analysis and interactive design charrettes. Expected outcomes include an evidence-based Bayesian network model that determines how the built environment affects independent living in the community and design innovation and guidelines to improve the built environment design for older Australians' ageing-in-place.
