| Abstract | Current European policies aim to promote the sustainable urban regeneration of housing stock while ensuring aging in place. Following these targets, this research proposes the Architectural and Psycho-environmental Retrofitting Assessment Method (APRAM) as an interdisciplinary decision support system, specifically designed to be applied in building renovation, which considers architectural demands and residents’ perceptions. This method generates an integral diagnosis that combines an architectural evaluation, through technical inspection grids, and psycho-environmental perceptions, by gathering residents’ responses from a participatory survey, in order to facilitate decision-making regarding renovation proposals. Retrofitting interventions, structured in public space, building, and dwelling scales, are assessed using architectural priority levels as well as social and engagement indicators of satisfaction, attachment, social need, and willingness to participate, thereby establishing a decision support system for property owners or public entities. APRAM is applied and tested in a residential neighbourhood of Lisbon (Portugal), for which its architectural, social and economic reports are defined in a summary table and a graphical display that show the integral performance of each intervention. Over 80% of responses involve major demands for which the proposed method shows close connections between the architectural diagnosis and residents’ perceptions for the decision-making process. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd |
Promoting urban regeneration and aging in place: APRAM – An interdisciplinary method to support decision-making in building renovation. Another variable that has been described as significant in urban regeneration for an aging population is that of place attachment: the positive bond between people and physical settings that helps to cultivate a territorial identity. These statements justify the establishment of decision-making protocols in urban regeneration that consider social and personal factors and specifically examine the critical incidence that can be produced in cases where an aging population exists. The utility of this method is to serve owners resident communities private developers and public entities in their decisions regarding which interventions are the most optimal from technical and social points of view. The design of this method can also be applicable to energy renovation strategies exclusively whereby the comfort introduced and the influence of occupant behaviour can be evaluated via both disciplines in the decisionmaking of energy retrofit actions.
