Korea has entered an aging society with an increase in the elderly population. The demand and interest in leisure welfare policies and facilities for the elderly are increasing. But, the utilization rate of related facilities and the number of facilities are very low. Welfare-developed countries are offering solutions by providing welfare spaces and programs for the elderly in local public facilities. Local public facilities are widely distributed in the local community, so they can provide high accessibility and program space. Therefore, this study aims to derive a spatial planning method that can provide leisure welfare services for the elderly in local public facilities. As a result of the public preference survey, public facilities such as social welfare centers, sports facilities, public government buildings, and local community centers were found to be local public facilities that can provide leisure and welfare spaces for the elderly. The adult group was found to prefer 22 spaces out of 38 unit spaces for the elderly. In addition, the elderly group was found to prefer 16 spaces. And it was found that all groups prefer 11 unit spaces. In this way, this study suggested a method of providing public facilities and unit spaces with high preference of the public in order to support the elderly leisure welfare service in a super aging society.
