Popis: By using decision tree analysis (CART), we assessed the situations that increase uneasy feeling of elderly people toward visitors in suburban housing estates. Results show that uneasy feeling increases when: 1. Visitors are seen through the interphone as opposed to face-to-face interaction, 2. Visitors stand more than 90cm from the interphone 3. No vehicle or vehicles other than business-related are seen through the interphone, 4. Visitors keep their hats or helmets on, 5. Door-to-door salesmen, religious groups and, to a lesser extent, unclassified visitors approach the building, and 6. Visitors are in their 30s, 40s, and more than 70.
