A Framework Of Design Criteria For Elderly Facilities Using Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs, Silvana Vásquez Sánchez, Ekkachai Mahaek, Apichoke Lekagul

The increase in population ageing worldwide is giving rise to the design of age-friendly cities and facilities. Recognizing elderly needs is essential to promote an active life that enables continued participation in the society. However, there is no precedent that justifies the choices in the design of spaces for the elderly, so this study proposes an evaluative model of physical design that satisfies and fulfills the needs of the elderly.
