Therefore, the supporting of senior housing facilities have become necessary and urgent, but the government and non-government organizations do not seem to fully recognize how the elderly people shape their retirement life. To further explore this topic, this research paper dived deeply into what the ideal living environments are for those who are heading into their retirement (45-64 years old) based on self-designed survey. The research paper then looks for the connections among different people by using Demographic Variables, Loneliness, and Personality dimensions. First, the research divided people into high and low loneliness groups based on UCLA Loneliness Scale and then used another analysis method, which is Big Five Personality Trails to divide the people into 6 groups by evaluating their compassion, confidence, innovation, leadership, determination, and social communication. This paper find that the loneliness is not the significant factor for choosing living environment, but the demographic variables such as education, jobs, annual incomes, and the current living areas are significant. Based on personalities, the people who are more innovative, positive, and socially active have more significant living preferences. At last, the research has further analyzed the information gathered from the self-designed survey and evaluated the preference and concerns from different groups of people. It can also be the reference for the government and non-government organization when planning the “Senior Housing” projects in near future.
