Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the characteristics and specifications required in building homes and residences for the elderly. This study uses a survey method among the elderly to analyze the characteristics and specifications of the required housing. Quantitative data analysis from a survey questionnaire on 266 senior citizens was conducted which was analyzed descriptively and inferential. Descriptive analysis involved means and percentages for each residential feature and specification required by seniors. Inferential analysis was performed through non-parametric tests involving Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests to identify whether there are differences between several factors such as gender, age, location zone, marital status, past/current employment sector, health financing, monthly cost of living, residence, current and life financing against the residential specifications they need.
