Habitat and Environmental management, Well-being, ElderlyAbstract
This research aimed to develop a habitat and environmental management model for the wellbeing of the elderly in Bang Khla district, Chachoengsao province. There were two phases of research; Phase 1 explored factors related to behaviour regarding management. Phase 2 developed a habitat and environmental management model for the wellbeing of the elderly. The studied population were elderly people aged 60 and above. The phase one sample was 175 people selected via a simple random sampling method. The phase 2 sample was 35 people selected via purposive sampling. The Phase 1 research instrument was a questionnaire which studied knowledge of risk perception and behaviour regarding habitat and management of the environment. Data was collated and displayed by percentages, mean, standard deviation and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient evaluated for statistical analysis. The phase 2 research instrument was a semi-structured interview, along with a focus group. Evaluation was via content analysis. Results showed that risk perception regarding habitat and environmental management was related to behaviour. This was statistically significant at 0.05. The habitat and environmental management model for the elderly consists of 2 main parts; 1) appropriate housing infrastructure for the elderly and 2) facilities within the habitat.
