Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 休閒遊憩研究所 === 101 === The purpose of this study was aimed to analyze perception of seniors about livable communities and successful aging, a case study on peace plan volunteer service teams of Yunlin county. The study using questionnaires, the sampling targeted seniors over 65 years old for the Yunlin County peace plan volunteer service teams. Convenience sampling is used. 206 effective questionnaires were collected. After Descriptive analysis, t test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple-regression statistics testing, the results revealed that leisure and culture, transportation tended to be more important compared to those livable communities factors for seniors’ aging process. Furthermore, we found leisure and culture tended to contribute more on successful aging than those livable communities factors. We concluded that seniors’ perceptions of livable communities were salient regarding whether toward successful aging. Furthermore, livable communities predicted the successful aging effectively. Based on these findings, the study not only gives some suggestions for community empowerment, but also supports research orientation for future researchers.
