Abstract

The history of absurd population patterns began in South Korea with the explosive population growth in the aftermath of the Korean War. With industrialization in the 1970s, the economy and the average individual income expanded at an astonishing speed, also lengthening the average Korean individual lifespan. Since 2000 onward, South Korea has remained the fastest-aging society among the OECD members. The 2005 census suggested that, by 2020, of the total South Korean population of 5,065million, 766.7million will be seniors, making up over 15% of the total population. Along with the increases in the national and individual incomes and the improvement in the overall quality of life, the number of seniors demanding a better quality of life will also increase, and the number of seniors living by themselves with no family members is expected to reach 305.4million households, about half of the total senior population. In other words, the demand for good retirement and senior homes will rapidly grow in the next decade or so. However, South Korea currently evinces an absolute shortage of facilities catering to the needs and wants of its senior population. Elderly homes being run or distributed in and around Seoul still require much improvement. As of 2008, the elderly homes in and around Seoul had a tenancy rate of 46% or so on average. Studies and academic writings on the subject cite the inadequacy of governmental support and the lack of a proper legal and policy system as the main reason for such a low tenancy rate. We thought that it need public facilities suitable square measure to vitalize inmates elderly walfare housing. In this study we attempt the name of the public facilities located in the metropolitan elderly welfare housing.
