Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly. Although Senior community centers playing an important role in old people leisure life are
quantitative resources occupying majority of the Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly. there are many problems of managing programs,
aging facilities, small spaces and so on. So, many facilities are used as simple meeting places of old people without solution about

community center of old generation will decrease. In order to perfectly play a role of Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly, we need to
review regulations about facility and program of Senior community center and suggest ways to resolve these problems. According to these
necessity, Integration senior community centers appeared as a new concept. These centers compensate the physical defects through integrating
