ABSTRACT

With the development of medical technology, the elderly population has increased, and Korea has entered an aging society. In particular, Busan has a rapid increase in the elderly population, which requires more welfare facilities. In particular, sports facilities are a factor directly related to health in the welfare of the elderly. In response, the main school paid attention to the outdoor sports training equipment and examined and analyzed how much the design considered the characteristics of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to objectively analyze the design of outdoor sports training equipment based on the social, psychological and physical characteristics of the elderly, and to investigate the factors satisfying the elderly, and to provide a basis for the design in consideration of the characteristics of the elderly in the future production of outdoor sports training equipment and repair of facilities. Thus, the theoretical background analyzed the characteristics of the elderly in the social, psychological and physical areas and arranged the matters and cases to be considered in the elderly-friendly design. And the evaluation model for outdoor sports equipment design was designed from the perspective of the elderly. As a result of extracting the results of the design evaluation of five types of outdoor sports facilities around the hot spring stream in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, which is a substitute for the evaluation model, the design of most sports facilities was considered evenly in terms of vision, movement, and cognition, except for hearing, despite the fact that the overall design is old and requires repair. On the other hand, 163 men and women aged 60 or older who used outdoor sports facilities that were previously evaluated were surveyed in detail for three months from October 2019 to December 2019. A total of four factors were extracted as a result of the factor analysis for the utilization satisfaction variables. Four factors can be classified as design, usability, convenience and satisfaction factors. As a result of the regression analysis of the overall desirability and factors, the design, usefulness and convenience were having a constant effect on the desirability and, in particular, the need to pay more attention to the design in order to enhance satisfaction was derived from the new results. Considering the same results, it can be concluded that the planned outdoor fitness equipment in the park needs to be designed to enhance the attractiveness of the design as well as supplementation of type and quantity, but to consider the characteristics of the elderly passengers and to make it more accessible.
