본 연구는 노인주택 공급 확대를 위한 방안으로 건강하고 독립적인 노인을 위한 주거환경의 하나인 노인복지주택의 전반적인 현황을 파악하고 계획방향을 제안하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 실현하기 위해 우선적으로 우리나라에 공급된 노인복지주택 네 사례의 현황을 조사하고 단위 주호 특성을 분석하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 계획 방향을 제안한다. 결론적으로 노인복지주택의 계획방향은 거주자가 의도하는 행위를 안전하게 자립적으로 할 수 있도록 하며 거주자의 생활방식을 수용할 수 있도록 공간 계획측면에서 최대한 보조하고 지원하는 방향으로 나아가야 할 것이다.
