A Survey on the Preference of Joint Techniques of Wood and an Analysis of their Durability for the Development of Wooden Furniture in Elderly Group Homes

As a detailed process for the development of new wooden furniture design that is to be used in elderly group homes, this study measured and analyzed physical and visual dura-bility of joint techniques, one of the essential manufacturing techniques. By selecting a total of 4 joint techniques, an experiment to measure a compressive strength was conducted and target-ing a group of 50 elderly people, a survey on visual durability and preference of visual aes-thetics was carried on. As a result of closely analyzing the experiment of measuring com-pressive strength and the preference survey, ‘mitre joint technique’ was found to be the most suitable in manufacturing wooden furniture and through follow-up studies, the result of this study will be applied in the development of wooden furniture design for elderly group homes.
