Abstract This study aims to examine housing typologies for older adults in the light of three qualitatively examined exogenous factors: policy, societal developments, and technology. The developments in inpatient and assisted ambulatory housing facilities for older adults have been mapped from 1945 to 2016 using quantitative data. Using these data, five transition periods can be distinguished. Within the first transition periods, policy factors were tremendously important, while within the later ones, societal influence empowered by technological change became the primarily driving factor. This research shows that the classification of inpatient, assisted ambulatory housing, and outpatient housing may no longer be applicable in its current form.

1945 年至 2016 年荷兰老年人住房类型的演变：政策、社会和技术发展背景下的分析

摘要 本研究旨在根据三个定性检验的外生因素：政策、社会发展和技术，检验老年人的住房类型。使用定量数据绘制了 1945 年至 2016 年老年人住院和辅助流动住房设施的发展情况。使用这些数据，可以区分五个过渡期。在最初的转型时期，政策因素非常重要，而在后期，技术变革赋予的社会影响力成为主要驱动因素。这项研究表明，住院、辅助流动住房和门诊住房的分类可能不再适用于目前的形式。
