[0005] However, conventional techniques have been inadequate in determining whether a dwelling unit is suitable for elderly people to live in. For example, there was a lack of development of systems to determine whether elderly people could live safely in ordinary housing rather than nursing homes. As a specific example, the elderly rating of the housing performance rating is a standard used to determine whether a new building meets the elderly rating. As a specific example, the performance evaluation is based on standards assuming use by a wheelchair for caregivers, and is not based on standards assuming use by people who can walk independently and do not use stairs.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of these circumstances, and has as its objective the provision of an elderly housing suitability assessment system, an elderly housing suitability assessment method, and a program that can determine the suitability of a dwelling unit based on the physical abilities of the elderly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present disclosure is an elderly housing suitability assessment system that includes an information acquisition unit that acquires building attribute information of a building including a dwelling unit, and a judgment unit that determines whether the dwelling unit satisfies certain judgment conditions, including a condition that a sink, a bedroom, and a toilet are located on the same floor, based on the building attribute information acquired by the information acquisition unit.

[0008] One aspect of the present disclosure is a method for determining suitability for elderly people to live in an elderly home, in which an information acquisition unit acquires building attribute information of a building including a dwelling unit, and a determination unit determines, based on the building attribute information acquired by the information acquisition unit, whether the dwelling unit satisfies predetermined determination conditions including a condition that a sink, a bedroom, and a toilet are located on the same floor.

[0009] One aspect of the present disclosure is a program for enabling a computer to perform the following functions: acquire building attribute information of a building including a dwelling unit; and determine, based on the acquired building attribute information, whether the dwelling unit satisfies certain determination conditions, including the condition that a sink, bedroom, and toilet are located on the same floor. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the elderly housing suitability assessment system, elderly housing suitability assessment method, and program disclosed herein, the suitability of a dwelling unit can be determined based on the physical abilities of the elderly. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] [Elderly Housing Suitability Assessment System] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 according to the embodiment.

[0014] The elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 includes an input unit 11, an output unit 12, a communication unit 13, a memory unit 14, and a control unit 15. The input unit 11 includes an operation unit 111 . The output unit 12 includes a display unit 131 . The control unit 15 includes an information acquisition unit 151 , a determination unit 152 , and a determination result presentation unit 153 .

[0015] The input unit 11 inputs information from the outside. The input unit 11 inputs information corresponding to an operation received by an operation unit 111 that receives an operation performed by an operator (which may be called a user, etc.), for example. The operation unit 111 may have any configuration, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc. The operation unit 111 may also have a function of accepting operations by voice (for example, the voice of an operator). The input unit 11 may be connected to an external device and input information output from the external device. The external device may be, for example, a portable recording medium.

[0016] The output unit 12 outputs information. The output unit 12 outputs (displays) information on the screen of the display unit 131, for example. The output unit 12 may be connected to an external device and output information to the external device. The external device may be, for example, a portable recording medium. The output unit 12 may output information in a form other than a display, such as, for example, audio output.

[0017] Here, in this embodiment, the input unit 11 and the output unit 12 are shown as separate functional units, but the input unit 11 and the output unit 12 may be configured as a common functional unit (input / output unit). The input / output unit may be, for example, a touch panel.

[0018] The communication unit 13 has a function of communicating information. The communication unit 13 may communicate with, for example, an external computer or database. It should be noted that the communication unit 13 may perform, for example, wired communication or wireless communication.

[0019] Here, in this embodiment, the communication unit 13 is shown as a functional unit separate from the input unit 11 and the output unit 12, but, for example, the receiving function of the communication unit 13 may be considered to be included in the function of the input unit 11, and the transmitting function of the communication unit 13 may be considered to be included in the function of the output unit 12.

[0020] The memory unit 14 stores information. Here, the storage unit 14 may store various types of information. In this embodiment, the memory unit 14 may store, for example, one or more of information regarding the person to be judged (in this embodiment, an elderly person), information regarding the building to be judged, other information used for the judgment, information regarding the judgment conditions, and information regarding the judgment results.

[0021] The control unit 15 performs various types of processing and control. In this embodiment, the elderly housing suitability determination system 1 is configured using, for example, a computer. The control unit 15 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and performs various types of processing and control by the processor executing a predetermined program (control program). The program may be stored in, for example, the storage unit 14.

[0022] The information acquisition unit 151 acquires information used for the determination according to this embodiment (for convenience of explanation, also referred to as elderly residence suitability determination). Here, the information acquisition unit 151 may acquire, for example, information input by the input unit 11, or may acquire information stored in the storage unit 14, or may acquire both of these pieces of information.

[0023] The determination unit 152 has a function of determining suitability for elderly people's residence. The determination unit 152 performs an elderly residence suitability determination based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 151.

[0024] The determination result presentation unit 153 presents information related to the determination result by the determination unit 152 . In this embodiment, the determination result presentation unit 153 presents information relating to the determination result by the determination unit 152 to the operator by, for example, displaying the information on the screen of the display unit 131 .

[0025] [Examples of information used to determine suitability for elderly housing] Examples of information used to determine suitability for elderly housing are shown below.

[0026] <Resident attribute information> In this embodiment, information about the resident (resident attribute information) is used to determine suitability for elderly residence. In this embodiment, the occupant to be judged is an elderly person. In this embodiment, the resident to be judged is, for example, not a person who actually lives in the house, but a person who is considering a dwelling unit (which may be called a residence, a dwelling space, a living space, etc.) that suits him / her. As another example, the resident to be judged may be a person who actually lives in the house, that is, the suitability of a dwelling unit that a person already lives in may be judged. In this embodiment, for ease of explanation, these persons will be referred to as residents; however, for example, a person who is not actually residing in a residence but is considering residing in the future may be referred to as a potential resident.

[0027] Resident attribute information may include, for example, one or more of the resident's gender, age, ADL (Activities of Daily Living), family composition, etc., and in this embodiment, includes information that can identify the resident's daily living abilities. In this embodiment, a resident's daily living abilities are determined based on the resident attribute information. In this embodiment, the ability determination is made regarding the physical ability of the resident, and for example, an ability determination is made regarding one or both of what the resident can do and what the resident cannot do.

[0028] As an example, such an ability determination may be performed by the determination unit 152. In this case, the resident attribute information includes information used for the ability determination. In this case, for example, a method for performing the ability determination is stored in the storage unit 14 or the like, and the determination unit 152 performs the ability determination using the method.

[0029] As another example, such an ability determination may be performed in advance before the determination process by the determination unit 152, and information on the result of the ability determination may be included in the resident attribute information. In this case, the ability determination may be performed, for example, by a device or a person (such as an operator) outside the elderly residence suitability determination system 1. In this case, the determination unit 152 performs the determination process using the result of the ability determination included in the elderly person attribute information.

[0030] <<Pattern A and Pattern B regarding the physical abilities of residents>> We explain patterns A and B regarding the physical abilities of residents. It should be noted that the names Pattern A and Pattern B are given for the convenience of explanation, and each may be called by any other name.

[0031] The residents of pattern A are those who walk independently without using stairs, or those who walk with a cane or walker. Note that the residents of pattern A may also include those who use stairs. A Pattern A resident is one who can carry out normal daily activities but may not be able to do things like change a light bulb.

[0032] The residents of Pattern B are those who use wheelchairs. Pattern B residents, for example, are residents whose normal daily life is impaired. As another example, the resident of pattern B may be a resident with a hand disability or a resident with dementia.

[0033] <<Four classifications of residents' physical abilities>> For example, there are further stages among the elderly. In this embodiment, pattern A is divided into three categories (categories 1 to 3), and pattern B is category 4.

[0034] Category 1 residents are those who can climb stairs without difficulty. In this embodiment, a judgment criterion is used that judges that any dwelling unit is suitable for a resident of category 1. It should be noted that other criteria may be used for determining whether a person is a resident of category 1.

[0035] Residents in category 2 can tolerate climbing stairs when going out, but have difficulty climbing stairs in their daily lives. Residents in category 2 are, for example, approximately 75 years old for men and approximately 70 years old for women, but are not limited to this. In this embodiment, a judgment criterion is used that judges that a dwelling unit that satisfies the one-floor condition in this embodiment is suitable for a resident in category 2. In other words, in this embodiment, an evaluation criterion is used that a resident in category 2 can live in a dwelling unit that satisfies the one-floor condition in consideration of the physical ability.

[0036] Residents in category 3 are able to handle steps but have difficulty climbing stairs when going out. Residents in category 3 are, for example, approximately five years older than category 2 residents (approximately 80 years old for men and approximately 75 years old for women), but are not limited to this. In this embodiment, a judgment criterion is used that judges that a dwelling unit that satisfies both the one-floor condition in this embodiment and the flat access condition in this embodiment is suitable for a resident of category 3. In other words, in this embodiment, an evaluation criterion is used that a resident of category 3 can live in a dwelling unit that satisfies the one-floor condition and the flat access condition in consideration of the physical ability.

[0037] Category 4 residents are those who use assistant wheelchairs. In this embodiment, a judgment criterion is used that judges that a dwelling unit that satisfies barrier-free standards is suitable for residents in category 4.

[0038] Here, in the past, when determining the suitability of housing for the elderly, it was considered to classify the elderly into pattern A and pattern B, but no consideration was given to further classifying them into four categories (categories 1 to 4). In general, the majority of elderly people fall into category 2 or 3, and it was important to develop a system to determine this.

[0039] <Building attribute information> In this embodiment, information about a building (building attribute information) is used to determine suitability for elderly residence. As building attribute information, various information may be used, for example, information regarding the floor on which each part is installed, the position of each part, the area of ​​each part, or elevators, etc. may be used.

[0040] Examples of building attribute information that may be used include the floor on which the washbasin (which may also be called a vanity or washroom) is located, the floor on which the bedroom is located, the floor on which the toilet is located, the floor on which the bathroom is located, the floor on which the kitchen is located, the floor on which the entrance is located, the floor on which the washing machine drain is located, the floor on which the clothes drying area is located, the position of the toilet fixtures, the position of the bedroom fixtures, the position of the storage space, the area of ​​the apartments on each floor, the area of ​​each room, the width or depth of the toilet, the width of the corridor, the floor on which the elevator stops, and / or the like. The rooms include, for example, a living room, dining room, and kitchen (LDK), a washroom, a bedroom, a toilet, a bathroom, and a hallway.

[0041] Furthermore, elevator types include, for example, home elevators and shared elevators. A home elevator is an elevator used only by the resident of the relevant dwelling unit. A shared elevator is an elevator used (shared) by residents of multiple dwelling units.

[0042] <Building interior attribute information> In this embodiment, information (building interior attribute information) about the interior of a building (for example, the interior of a dwelling unit) is used to determine suitability for elderly residence. As the building interior attribute information, various information may be used, for example, information regarding the distances of each part present inside the building (for example, inside the dwelling unit) may be used. As the building interior attribute information, for example, the distance between the position of the fixtures in the bedroom (for example, the bed) and the position of the toilet may be used.

[0043] [One floor condition] The one-floor condition in this embodiment will be described. In order to ensure that a home can be lived in from old age through to the end of life, it is important that the main living spaces are all on one floor, meaning that one can move around without any steps. The one-floor condition includes, for example, one or more of the following: the dwelling unit has one floor, multiple floors are connected by an elevator, and the main floor has sufficient area. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the one-floor condition includes a condition that the sink, the bedroom, and the toilet are on the same floor. For example, the one-floor condition may include a condition that one or both of the bathroom and the kitchen, and the sink, the bedroom, and the toilet are on the same floor. It should be noted that other conditions may be used as the one-floor condition.

[0044] <Example of a condition that the dwelling unit is on one floor> FIG. 2A is a diagram showing an example of a one-floor building 2011 according to the embodiment. This condition is met, for example, when the main living spaces such as the living / dining / kitchen area, bathroom, and bedroom are all on one floor. Under these conditions, for example, even if there are other floors, the specified area A (for example, 20 m 2), it consists mostly of an entrance, stairs, etc., and does not include a bedroom. In such a case, it can be presumed that the bedroom is on the living / dining / kitchen floor. Therefore, even if there are other floors, if their area is less than the specified area A, they are not considered to be dwelling unit floors and are determined to be one floor. In this embodiment, the presence of the living / dining / kitchen room is determined on the floor where the kitchen (K) is located, that is, it is determined that the living / dining / kitchen room is on the floor where the kitchen (K) is located. In this way, the floor on which the bedroom is located may be determined based on the area of ​​each floor. In the diagram, K represents the kitchen and B represents the bathroom. Here, an example of the predetermined area A is 20 m 2 However, other values ​​may be used as the predetermined area A.

[0045] <Example of a condition where multiple floors are connected by elevator> Fig. 2B is a diagram showing an example of a one-floor building 2012 according to the embodiment. Fig. 2B is also used to explain flat access. This condition is met, for example, even if the main living spaces such as the living / dining / kitchen area, bathrooms, and bedrooms are spread across multiple floors, if an elevator is installed and people can move around without using stairs. In the figure, EV represents an elevator.

[0046] <Example of the condition that the main floor area must be secured> FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating an example of a one-floor building 2013 according to the embodiment. This condition is met, for example, if there is enough area on one floor to provide the main living spaces such as a living / dining / kitchen area, bathroom, and bedroom (if the area is equal to or larger than the specified area), even if the rooms are spread across multiple floors. For example, in the case of a single person, the area is the designated area B (for example, 40 m 2 ), and in the case of a married couple, the designated area C (for example, 55 m 2 ). Here, an example of the predetermined area B is 40 m 2 However, other values ​​may be used for the predetermined area B. In addition, an example of the specified area C is 55 m 2 However, other values ​​may be used for the predetermined area C.

[0047] [Flat access conditions] The flat access condition in this embodiment will be described. Even if daily life can be done on one floor, if access to that floor cannot be secured, it is impossible to live a life connected to the community. For example, in mixed-use housing, people often live on the upper floors where there is plenty of sunlight and ventilation, so access to the home becomes an issue. Therefore, it is considered important to be able to access the main living space of the home without using stairs (flat access). Flat access conditions include, for example, one or more of: a condition that the main living space is on the first floor; and a condition that the main living space is accessible by elevator (which may, for example, include provisioning specifications). Here, this elevator is a home elevator for use only in the home, and is different from an elevator shared by multiple dwelling units, i.e., different from an elevator in an apartment building where multiple dwelling units share the same elevator. Furthermore, the judgment conditions may include conditions regarding the number of steps from the first floor to the road (for example, a condition that the number of steps is 5 or less, or a condition that the difference in height is 1 m or less, etc.). Also, for example, a condition may be added to the judgment conditions that a gentle staircase or slope with a rise of 10 cm or less and a tread of 75 cm or more is not regarded as a staircase. It should be noted that other conditions may be used as the flat access condition.

[0048] <Example of a condition where the main living space is on the first floor> FIG. 2D is a diagram showing an example of a flat-access building 2031 according to the embodiment. This condition is met, for example, when a single-floor dwelling unit is on the first floor and the entrance is on the first floor.

[0049] <Example of a condition that the main living space is accessible by elevator (e.g., may include provision specifications.)> 2B is a diagram showing an example of a flat-access building 2012 according to the embodiment. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 2B is also used to explain one floor. This condition is met if the single-floor dwelling unit is accessible by elevator. This condition may also be met in the elevator preparation specifications.

[0050] [Examples of buildings and dwelling units subject to evaluation] Various buildings and dwelling units may be subject to the assessment. For example, various things may be targeted, such as the number of floors of a building, the size of the building, the number of apartments in the building, whether or not there is an elevator, whether or not there are stairs, and the like. For example, a building may be a building with only residential units, a building with only rental units, or a building with both residential and rental units (a building for both residential and rental purposes). For example, a building may be a building with only one dwelling unit on one floor, or a building that includes two or more dwelling units on at least one floor.

[0051] [Example of methods for determining suitability for elderly housing] <Example of classification 1: Method for determining suitability for elderly housing> In this embodiment, for elderly people in category 1, the determination unit 152 may perform elderly residence suitability determination using, for example, any determination condition. As an example, for elderly people in category 1, all dwelling units may be deemed to be suitable without using any particular criteria.

[0052] <Examples of methods for determining suitability for elderly housing in category 2> In this embodiment, for elderly people in category 2, the determination unit 152 performs elderly residence suitability determination using a predetermined one-floor condition as a determination condition. The determination unit 152 then determines that a dwelling unit for which the determination condition (the one-floor condition) is satisfied is suitable, and determines that a dwelling unit for which the determination condition (the one-floor condition) is not satisfied is not suitable.

[0053] In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the one-floor condition includes a condition that the sink, the bedroom, and the toilet are on the same floor. For example, the one-floor condition may include a condition that one or both of the bathroom and the kitchen, and the sink, the bedroom, and the toilet are on the same floor. As a specific example, the one-floor condition may include a condition that the sink, bedroom, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen are all on the same floor. The one-floor condition may also include a condition that the sink, bedroom, and toilet are on the same floor, and that the bathroom and kitchen are accessible by elevator. The one-floor condition may also include a condition that the sink, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen are all on the same floor, and that part of the living / dining / kitchen area is large enough to be used as a bedroom. In addition, when the one floor condition includes a plurality of selective conditions, for example, the one floor condition may be deemed to be satisfied when at least one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied.

[0054] Furthermore, the determination unit 152 may use additional conditions (elderly-suitable additional conditions) in the determination. That is, the determination unit 152 may determine that a dwelling unit that satisfies both the predetermined one-floor condition and the elderly-suitable additional conditions is suitable for elderly people of the category 2. Additional conditions suitable for the elderly may include, for example, one or more of the following conditions: the type of door is a specific type (e.g., a sliding door), or the floor on which the washing machine is installed and the floor on which the clothes drying area is installed are on the same floor. Other conditions may also be used as additional conditions suitable for elderly people.

[0055] <Example of a method for determining suitability for elderly housing in category 3> In this embodiment, for elderly people in category 3, the determination unit 152 performs elderly residence suitability determination using a predetermined one-floor condition and a predetermined flat access condition as determination conditions. Then, the judgment unit 152 judges that a dwelling unit for which the judgment conditions (the one-floor condition and the flat access condition) are satisfied is suitable, and judges that a dwelling unit for which the judgment conditions (the one-floor condition and the flat access condition) are not satisfied is not suitable.

[0056] In this embodiment, the flat access condition is met if at least one of the following conditions is met: the main living space is on the first floor; and the main living space is accessible by elevator (which may include, for example, preparation specifications). As the one-floor condition, for example, the same condition as that used in the determination of category 2 is used. As a specific example, the flat access condition may include a condition that a floor that satisfies the one-floor condition (a one-floor suitable floor) and the entrance are on the first floor. The flat access condition may also include a condition that the entrance is on the first floor and a floor that satisfies the one-floor condition (a one-floor compatible floor) can be reached by elevator from the entrance. When a flat access condition includes a plurality of selective conditions, for example, the flat access condition may be considered to be satisfied when at least one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied.

[0057] Furthermore, the determination unit 152 may use additional conditions (elderly-suitable additional conditions) in the determination. That is, the determination unit 152 may determine that a dwelling unit that satisfies all of the predetermined one-floor condition, the predetermined flat access condition, and the elderly-suitable additional conditions is suitable for an elderly person of category 3. Additional conditions suitable for elderly people may include, for example, one or more of the following: the distance between the bed and toilet is a specified value (e.g., 5 m) or less, the number of turns (which may include changes of direction) in the journey is a specified value (e.g., 3 times) or less, the area of ​​each room is a specified value or more, the type of fixture is a specified type (e.g., sliding door, swing door, inward opening, outward opening, etc.), or the handle of the fixture is a specified shape (e.g., easy to operate). Here, generally, for wheelchair users or people with dementia, the fewer the number of turns, the better. Other conditions may also be used as additional conditions suitable for elderly people.

[0058] In this embodiment, the same one-floor condition is used for the determination of category 2 and the one-floor condition for the determination of category 3, but as another example, different conditions may be used. In addition, when an elderly-suitable additional condition is used in the determination of category 2 and an elderly-suitable additional condition is used in the determination of category 3, for example, the same condition may be used as these elderly-suitable additional conditions, or different conditions may be used.

[0059] <Examples of methods for determining suitability for elderly housing in category 4> In this embodiment, for elderly people in category 4, the determination unit 152 performs elderly residence suitability determination using predetermined barrier-free conditions as determination conditions. The determination unit 152 then determines that a dwelling unit that satisfies the determination condition (the barrier-free condition) is suitable, and determines that a dwelling unit that does not satisfy the determination condition (the barrier-free condition) is not suitable. As the barrier-free condition, various conditions may be used.

[0060] Here, in this embodiment, among the building attribute information and the building interior attribute information, information that is not used according to the ability of daily living may be set in the judgment of the classification 4. The reason for this is that the living range and ability of the residents of the classification 4 (pattern B) are considered to be narrow.

[0061] In this embodiment, for category 4 residents, four routes are further checked. In this embodiment, the determination unit 152 checks four routes: a toilet route, an outing route, a living room route, and an outside route. The names of the routes are merely examples for the purpose of explanation, and the routes may be called by any other names.

[0062] The first route is the toilet route. In checking the toilet route, a check condition (determination condition) may be used that is based on one or more of the following information: toilet location, toilet area, toilet access information (e.g., side entry or vertical entry), fixture location, fixture width, etc. Here, generally, for wheelchair users, side entry to the toilet is preferable. As a specific example, when determining the toilet route, evaluation criteria may include a condition that the bedroom and toilet are on the same floor, a condition that the distance between the bedroom and toilet is less than a predetermined value, and a condition that a wheelchair is accessible taking into account the toilet access information, the toilet area, the width of the fittings, and the position of the fittings.

[0063] The second route is the outing route. When checking an outing route, check conditions (determination conditions) may be used that are based on one or more pieces of information, such as the position of the entrance, the position of the windows, the height of the windowsills, the position of the fittings, the width of the fittings, the size of the entrance floor, the height of the entrance frame, and the condition of the exterior gutters. As a specific example, when determining an outing route, the evaluation criteria may include a condition that it is possible to go out from the bedroom in a wheelchair, and a condition that a simple ramp can be installed taking into account the size of the dirt floor and the height of the frame.

[0064] The third route is the living route. In checking the living room route, for example, a check condition (determination condition) based on information on the floor on which the room name (for example, living / dining / kitchen area, living room) is installed may be used. As a specific example, in determining the living room route, a condition that the bedroom, living / dining / kitchen area, and living room are on the same floor may be used as an evaluation criterion.

[0065] The fourth route is the outer route. When checking the outside route, for example, a check condition (determination condition) based on information about the wooden deck or terrace in front of the French window may be used. As a specific example, in determining the outside route, a condition such as exposure to outside air may be used as an evaluation criterion.

[0066] [Example of judgment including prediction of future of resident] The determination unit 152 may use a determination condition including, for example, a prediction of the occupant's future. As a specific example, the determination condition may be a condition that takes into account the future age of the resident in addition to or instead of the resident's current age.

[0067] For example, the physical ability of a resident used in determining suitability for elderly housing may be the physical ability of the resident at a future age instead of the physical ability of the resident at the current age. In other words, in consideration of the fact that a resident will continue to live in the dwelling unit, it may be desirable to determine whether the dwelling unit will be able to accommodate the resident in the future. Here, the future may be any time, for example, three years from now, five years from now, ten years from now, etc.

[0068] It should be noted that the future physical capabilities of the resident may be identified in any manner. As an example, Non-Patent Document 1 describes information that can be used to predict what the standard physical abilities of a resident will be after a certain number of years (e.g., which of categories 1 to 4 they will fall into), depending on the resident's age and gender.

[0069] FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of a pattern of change in the degree of independence associated with aging for a male. FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of a pattern of change in the degree of independence associated with aging for a woman. Here, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are quoted from graphs described in Non-Patent Document 1. The determination unit 152 may use the information shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B to make a determination including a prediction of the resident's future. It should be noted that the information shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B is merely an example, and other information may be used to predict the future of the resident.

[0070] [Example of a decision that takes into account the possibility of renovation] The determination unit 152 may use a determination condition that takes into account, for example, the possibility of remodeling the dwelling unit. For example, even if the current dwelling unit does not satisfy a certain condition, it may be possible to remodel the dwelling unit so that the certain condition is satisfied. In such a case, the determination unit 152 may determine that the dwelling unit satisfies the certain condition when remodeling is taken into consideration. In other words, when remodeling is taken into consideration, a more relaxed determination condition may be used compared to when remodeling is not taken into consideration. In this way, the determination unit 152 may be configured to determine that a condition that can be improved by reform is satisfied even if the condition is not currently satisfied.

[0071] Although there are situations in which the one-floor condition or flat access condition cannot be realized even through renovation, the judgment conditions may be relaxed if it is possible to realize the condition through renovation. As a specific example, the determination unit 152 may use a condition that no structural body (such as a steel frame that provides earthquake resistance for a building) exists on the side wall of the toilet as a condition for allowing remodeling. In addition, toilets and washrooms are generally connected to drainage pipes, which must be taken into consideration when renovating.

[0072] [Example of judgment based on the type of building, such as number of floors] This embodiment is primarily suited to determining small dwelling units, for example, dwelling units in buildings with four floors or less. The reason for this is that buildings with five or more floors are generally more suitable for elderly people. As an example, the determination unit 152 may first determine the number of floors of the building, and determine that an apartment in a building with five or more floors is in compliance without determining other conditions. As another example, the determination unit 152 may perform the elderly housing suitability determination for dwelling units in buildings with five or more floors in the same manner as for dwelling units in buildings with four or fewer floors.

[0073] Moreover, this embodiment is mainly suited to determining dwelling units in buildings with two or more floors. The reason for this is that single-storey buildings are generally more suitable for elderly people. As an example, the determination unit 152 may first determine the number of floors of the building, and determine that a dwelling unit in a one-story building is in compliance without determining other conditions. As another example, the determination unit 152 may perform an elderly housing suitability determination for a dwelling unit in a one-story building in the same manner as for a dwelling unit in a building with two or more floors.

[0074] As described above, this embodiment is mainly suited to determining dwelling units in buildings having two to four floors, but may also be applied to determining dwelling units in other buildings.

[0075] In general, detached buildings are also often suitable for elderly people. As an example, the determination unit 152 may first determine whether or not the building is a detached house, and determine that a dwelling unit in a detached building meets the requirements without determining other conditions. As another example, the determination unit 152 may also perform the elderly housing suitability determination for a dwelling unit in a detached building.

[0076] [Example of judgment taking into account two-generation homes, etc.] The determination unit 152 may use, for example, a determination condition that takes into consideration a two-generation home. In this example, for convenience of explanation, the residents of the two households will be referred to as the parents and children. In recent years, it is often the case that both the parents and children of the two households are elderly. The elderly classifications (classifications 1 to 4) of the parents and children may be different or the same.

[0077] As a judgment condition that takes into account a two-generation home, for example, a condition that both a dwelling unit that fits the parent classification and another dwelling unit that fits the child classification may be used in the same building. In this case, it is possible for a parent and a child to live in separate dwelling units in the same building.

[0078] Furthermore, as a judgment condition taking into consideration a two-generation home, for example, a condition for the relationship between a dwelling unit that fits the parent classification and another dwelling unit that fits the child classification may be a condition that these dwelling units are on the same floor (same floor), that these dwelling units are adjacent to each other, that these dwelling units are connected by a common area, or that the distance between these dwelling units is equal to or less than a predetermined value, etc. In this case, for example, it will be relatively easy to go back and forth between the parent's dwelling unit and the child's dwelling unit, and there may be a parent and child who desire such a relationship. Conversely, the conditions for the relationship may be that the dwelling units are on different floors, that the dwelling units are not adjacent to each other, that the dwelling units are not connected by a common area, or that the distance between the dwelling units is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, etc. In this case, for example, it may be relatively difficult to travel between the parent's dwelling unit and the child's dwelling unit, and there may be parents and children who wish for such a relationship.

[0079] In addition, a judgment condition considering a three-generation house may be used by expanding a condition similar to the judgment condition considering a two-generation house to a condition for three generations. The residents of the three generations may be, for example, a parent, a child, and a grandchild. As a specific example, a judgment condition taking into account a three-generation home may be a configuration in which conditions similar to those for a two-generation home described above are used for a dwelling unit that fits the parent classification, another dwelling unit that fits the child classification, and yet another dwelling unit that fits the grandchild classification.

[0080] [Example of narrowing down judgment results] When the elderly residence suitability determination result indicates that two or more dwelling units are suitable for the same resident, the determination unit 152 may, for example, further narrow down the two or more dwelling units. Similarly, when the result of the elderly living suitability assessment indicates that two or more dwelling unit groups (combinations of multiple dwelling units) are suitable for a resident (parents, children) who wishes to live in a two-generation home, or a resident (parents, children, grandchildren) who wishes to live in a three-generation home, the assessment unit 152 may, for example, further narrow down the selection within these two or more dwelling unit groups.

[0081] Here, any method may be used as the method for narrowing down the candidates, such as a method of selecting the best candidate from among a plurality of dwelling units (or a plurality of groups of dwelling units) that are suitable based on the already obtained judgment results, or a method of selecting a predetermined number (e.g., three) of the best candidates from among the plurality of candidates, or a method of ranking the plurality of candidates in order of suitability.

[0082] Any method may be used to determine whether such candidates are good (narrowing down the options), such as a method of determining that a larger area is better, a method of determining that a higher grade is better, a method of determining that a property closer to the ground floor (or closer to a higher floor) is better, a method of determining that a property for home use (or rental use) is better than a property for home use, etc.

[0083] The narrowing down may be performed in two or more stages. In addition, in this example, a case is shown in which a narrowing-down assessment is performed after the assessment result of the elderly housing suitability assessment is obtained, but as another example, the assessment conditions for the narrowing-down assessment may be included in the assessment conditions for the elderly housing suitability assessment, that is, the narrowing-down assessment may be integrated into the elderly housing suitability assessment.

[0084] [Senior Housing Suitability Assessment Processing] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the elderly residence suitability determination process according to the embodiment. The process of steps S1 to S5 shown in FIG. 4, which is performed by the elderly housing suitability determination system 1, will be described.

[0085] (Step S1) The information acquisition unit 151 acquires resident attribute information about a person (resident) who is a target of elderly residence suitability judgment. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the resident is an elderly person. Here, the resident to be judged may be, for example, one person, or there may be cases where judgment is made on two or more people at once.

[0086] (Step S2) The information acquisition unit 151 acquires building attribute information about a building that is to be judged suitable for elderly occupancy. Here, the building to be judged may be, for example, one building, or there may be cases where judgment is made collectively for two or more buildings. Similarly, for one building, the dwelling unit to be assessed may be, for example, one dwelling unit, or there may be cases where assessment is made for two or more dwelling units collectively.

[0087] (Step S3) The information acquisition unit 151 acquires building interior attribute information about the interior of a building that is the subject of an elderly occupancy suitability determination.

[0088] (Step S4) The determination unit 152 performs an elderly residence suitability determination based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 151. Here, for example, one or more judgment conditions used for elderly residence suitability judgment may be stored in advance in the storage unit 14, etc., and the judgment unit 152 may read out the judgment condition to be used for judgment and use it for judgment. Note that the judgment unit 152 may use one judgment condition for judgment, or may use two or more judgment conditions in combination for judgment.

[0089] (Step S5) The determination result presentation unit 153 presents information on the determination result obtained by the determination unit 152 by displaying it on a screen or the like. The determination result presentation unit 153 may present any information related to the determination result in any format.

[0090] Here, in the example of Figure 4, a case is shown in which all of the resident attribute information, building attribute information, and building interior attribute information are used in the judgment by the judgment unit 152, but, for example, some of this information may not be used, and in this case, the some of the information may not need to be acquired by the information acquisition unit 151.

[0091] As an example, in a case where the resident to be assessed is classified by an external device or operator of the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1, information specifying the classification (which may be instruction information) may be input to the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1. In this case, the information specifying the classification may be regarded as, for example, an example of resident attribute information, or may be treated as information separate from the resident attribute information. In a case where the information specifying the classification is treated as information separate from the resident attribute information, the resident attribute information does not need to be acquired by the information acquisition unit 151. As another example, when the building interior attribute information is not used in the judgment conditions used for judgment by the judgment unit 152, the building interior attribute information does not need to be acquired by the information acquisition unit 151.

[0092] [Example of judgment result display] FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an example of a screen 311 showing a determination result of the elderly residence suitability determination process according to the embodiment. The screen 311 displays information (in this example, text information) indicating that a determination result has been obtained that the specified dwelling unit (dwelling unit XX) is suitable for the specified resident (resident XX).

[0093] FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example of a screen 312 showing a determination result of the elderly residence suitability determination process according to the embodiment. Screen 312 displays information (in this example, text information) indicating that a determination result has been obtained that the specified dwelling unit (dwelling unit XX) is not suitable for the specified resident (resident XX). Furthermore, the screen 312 displays information indicating the non-compliant requirements (requirements AAA and BBB). Here, the requirement is, for example, some or all of the evaluation conditions used in determining suitability for elderly housing. The requirements referred to here may be referred to as conditions, for example.

[0094] As described above, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 of this embodiment can assess the suitability of a dwelling unit based on the physical abilities of the elderly, and can, for example, assist in providing dwelling units where elderly residents can live comfortably. For example, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 of this embodiment can mainly determine whether a dwelling unit in a two- to four-story building containing multiple dwelling units is suitable for elderly people with the respective physical abilities.

[0095] [Examples of applicable targets] The elderly housing suitability determination system 1 according to this embodiment may be applied to various situations. For example, the elderly residence suitability determination system 1 according to this embodiment may be used as a system for determining (selecting) a residence suitable for a resident from among a plurality of residences, or may be used as a system for determining whether or not one residence is suitable for a resident. Such one residence may be, for example, one residence included in a building having a plurality of residences, or may be a residence in a building having only one residence such as a detached house.

[0096] For example, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 of this embodiment may be applied when making a judgment about dwelling units in an already existing building, or it may be applied when making a judgment about dwelling units in a building that is currently being designed and to be constructed. As a specific example, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 according to this embodiment may be applied to a case where elderly housing suitability assessment is performed based on CAD data under design during the design stage of a new building or dwelling unit to be constructed. In this case, for example, the person who performs such design may be the operator. In addition, in this case, in the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 according to this embodiment, the assessment result presentation unit 153 may have a function of presenting information regarding the assessment result by the assessment unit 152 by writing it into the CAD data or the like (data at the design stage). In this way, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 according to this embodiment can also provide design support for buildings or dwelling units.

[0097] For example, the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 of this embodiment may be used as a system that performs elderly housing suitability assessment in a brute-force manner between multiple residents and multiple dwelling units (or a partial combination of the brute-force assessment), and matches each resident with a dwelling unit that is suitable for that resident based on the assessment results.

[0098] [Modified example of elderly housing suitability assessment system] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an elderly housing suitability determination system 501 according to a modified example. The elderly residence suitability determination system 501 includes an elderly residence suitability determination device 511, a terminal device 512, and a network 513. Here, the network 513 may be, for example, a public network such as the Internet, or may be a private network. Also, the network 513 may be, for example, a wired network, or may be a wireless network. For example, the network 513 may be regarded as an external functional unit of the elderly residence suitability determination system 501.

[0099] The elderly residence suitability determination device 511 includes an input unit 611, an output unit 612, a communication unit 613, a storage unit 614, and a control unit 615. The control unit 615 includes an information acquisition unit 651, a determination unit 652, and a determination result presentation unit 653. The terminal device 512 includes an operation unit 711 and a display unit 712 .

[0100] Here, the elderly residence suitability determination device 511 is configured using, for example, a computer. The terminal device 512 is configured using, for example, a computer. As an example, the elderly residence suitability determination device 511 may be a server device, and the terminal device 512 may be a client device.

[0101] In this embodiment, for example, an operator (which may also be called a user) operates the terminal device 512 and accesses the elderly housing suitability assessment device 511 via the terminal device 512, thereby causing the elderly housing suitability assessment device 511 to perform an elderly housing suitability assessment and receiving information regarding the assessment results.

[0102] In the terminal device 512 , an operator operates the operation unit 711 to transmit various information (including instruction information) from the terminal device 512 to the elderly residence suitability determination device 511 via the network 513 . The elderly housing suitability assessment device 511 has, for example, a judgment function roughly similar to that of the elderly housing suitability assessment system 1 shown in Figure 1, and makes an elderly housing suitability assessment based on information (including instruction information) received from the terminal device 512, and transmits information regarding the assessment result to the terminal device 512 via the network 513. The terminal device 512 can present the information received from the elderly residence suitability determination device 511 to an operator or the like by displaying the information on the screen of the display unit 712, for example.

[0103] Here, each functional unit in the elderly residence suitability determination device 511 generally has the same function as the functional unit with the same name shown in FIG. In the example of Figure 6, in the elderly residence suitability assessment device 511, the information acquisition unit 651 also has a function of acquiring information transmitted from the terminal device 512, and the assessment result presentation unit 653 also has a function of transmitting information regarding the assessment result to the terminal device 512.

[0104] As described above, the modified example of the elderly housing suitability assessment system 501 can assess the suitability of a dwelling unit based on the physical abilities of the elderly, and can, for example, assist in providing dwelling units where elderly residents can live comfortably.
