According as the elderly population has been increasing in rural areas, Korea will be facing a serious elderly problem in the near future. To cope with the coming elderly problem, social welfare services and elderly housing need to be carefully prepared. Especially, elderly housing has been recognized to be promising to solve the great portion of the problem.
Therefore, I try, in this study, to show the theoretical bases on the residential environment for the elderly households, and to survey and analyze the residential environment and consciousness of them in rural areas. The result of this study will be expected to be a reference to the housing planning for the elderly household in rural areas.
