Abstract With 22.7% of its population aged 65 and older, Gyeongsangbuk-do is facing significant demographic changes that require new housing strategies. This study explores housing satisfaction among elderly residents in the region's public silver housing to develop a suitable housing model for its aging population. A survey of 50 residents from two public silver housing complexes was conducted. The results showed high satisfaction with internal facilities, particularly barrier-free designs, but concerns about housing costs and access to transportation and medical services. Economic factors and location were found to be the most significant influences on housing satisfaction. The study suggests that increasing financial support, improving infrastructure, and integrating welfare services are crucial for enhancing the living conditions of elderly residents. These findings provide valuable insights for shaping future elderly housing models in Gyeongsangbuk-do.
