摘要

This study aims to investigate older adults' perceptions of the age-friendliness of Busan. A total of 1000 older adults were recruited sampled using stratified random methods. The respondents in the study showed relatively low levels of age-friendliness in civic participation and employment, social participation, communication and information, respect and social inclusion, and housing. However, the levels of age-friendliness for community support and health, outdoor spaces and buildings, and transportation were comparatively high. Based on the findings of this study, several implications for urban policy are discussed.
