從「在地老化」趨勢探討「銀髮族養生園區」之規劃需求

由於醫療科技的發達與醫療技術的突破，台灣人「平均餘命」逐年增加。然而隨著戰後嬰兒潮及少子化等問題的浮現，銀髮族生活相關之政策迫在眉睫；如何在高齡化的社會中提升銀髮族生活品質，是當今相關單位最該探討之議題。此外根據資料顯示在OECD國家中，65歲以上老人進住機構的比例有逐年降低之跡象，而70年代OECD提出在地老化(aging in place)之觀念，也廣受各國長期照護政策歡迎，認為老人之安養應以家庭與社區為主，機構為輔；因為此種方式，才能夠給予老人較熟悉的居住環境，創造老人身心需求的最大滿足。所以本研究於民國104年2月1日至民國104年6月30共訪問285位新竹縣新豐鄉與竹北市住民，以瞭解銀髮族在食、衣、住、行、育、樂方面之需求，以作為規劃「銀髮族養生園區」之參考資料。調查結果顯示，受訪者心目中理想的養生園區，應該擁有的設施前三名分別為，(1)景觀步道；(2)休閒農場；(3)卡拉ok歡唱室。此外，「銀髮族養生園區」也提供每人三坪之土地，供住民種植蔬果；將近半數(47.2%)之受訪者表示「非常願意」或「願意」耕種的意願，且願意採取使用者付費之方式。
