Summary
This paper discusses the need for an update to the Italian Ministerial Decree of July 5th, 1975, which outlines the hygienic-sanitary requirements of living spaces, in light of new scientific evidence and changing societal needs.
Categories
Dementia: The paper discusses the impact of housing conditions on mental health, including dementia, and suggests that adequate living space and conditions can help prevent such conditions.
Depression: The paper highlights the link between inadequate living space and mental health problems such as depression.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper suggests that adequate living space and conditions can help support cognitive function and memory.
Aging: The paper discusses the need for housing to be accessible and usable for an extended user base, including the elderly.
Well-being: The paper focuses on the importance of housing conditions in promoting the well-being of inhabitants.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the importance of factors such as lighting in creating a habitable indoor environment.
