以台灣目前的人口結構來看,年齡老化的情況偏高,新生兒出生也越來越少,未來台灣社會必定邁向人口老化的社會型態。台灣社會定義老年人口為65歲以上,這些65歲以上的老年人,稱之為銀髮族。 長青社區體貼為銀髮族設想到許多關懷與照顧的感受,並且兼顧保健、醫療、養生、休閒、娛樂、學習,滿足銀髮族的生活需求,並提高周邊設備,打造讓銀髮族有家的感覺。 本研究了解銀髮族對長青社區的需求,更進一步了解目前長青社區分析各特質,關懷他人、被他人關懷及終身學習等需求因子,在未來需要入住長青社區老年人,依自己的需求,來選擇需要的地方。其過程利用專家訪談及問卷設計了解現今銀髮族對長青社區的需求並加以分析,將需求因子分類,需求因子依問卷整理出前五名重要性因子:機構整體溫馨感、聯繫、親友旅館、居家關懷、便利商店,將新、舊需求因子整合成資料倉儲。透過發放問卷調查,發現有許多需求因子是現有長青社區沒有的,無法滿足現在入住長青社區的長者,現有養生村、社區發展或者未來建構,可以依據本研究的資料倉儲為發展依據,有效新增需求因子,才能吸引長者入住,讓他們可以依自己喜歡的生活方式住的健康快樂。
