University of Chile
Hypothesis Seniors autonomy in performing Basic Activities of Daily Living, (BADL) and risk is directly related with architectural and equipment design. In these terms functionality depends not only on physiological aspects but is also is affected by the formal characteristics of the environment. With an adequate diagnosis it is posible to develop guidelines for more aproppriate designs for this age group.
Objectives Contrast dimensional characteristics of the built environment and performance of BADL in representative cases of housing provided by the State of Chile to autonomous seniors.

Katz, S; Ford, A.B.; Moskowitz, A.W.; Jackson, B.A.; Jaffe, M.W; 1963
We identified de spaces and equipment directly related to the activity describing in detail the operations needed for each of them, and identify risk during performance.

Methodology
In a first level analysis of the data from the point of how many operations present problems in their preformance, we can tell the most conflictive actions
In a second level of analysis, looking for the presence of Requirements , we find out those most relevant related to Height – Equilibrium – Strength – Mobility and Clenching
In a third level of analysis, we search for the Impacts, (Consequences) such as Fear - Discomfort - Difficulty Pain and Inhibition (Chooses or cannot perform).
