As part of a strategic response to address the problems caused by population aging and urbanization, the World Health Organization recommends the creation of Age-Friendly Cities. This study examined the relationship between satisfaction with age-friendly urban environment elements for Aging in Place based on the 2023 Seoul Survey Urban Policy Indicators. Age groups were divided into young, middle-aged, and elderly groups, and generalized ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze differences between groups. The results showed that environment, safety, and transportation were common factors affecting the intention to continue to reside in all groups among age-friendly urban environment factors. This is an empirical analysis result that shows that improving the physical environment has a positive effect on the intention to continue to reside in all age groups, suggesting the need for comprehensive urban planning to create an urban environment where all generations can continue to reside.
