Abstract It is essential to conduct a fresh analysis and devise new approaches to the existing guidelines as the current economic structure and dynamics in local communities undergo significant changes due to the acceleration of aging population and evolving perceptions towards elderly housing. This study examined a housing model connected to community infrastructure in relation to elderly housing in Australia and New Zealand with the aim of enhancing the design guidelines for elderly housing in Korea. Initially, it is imperative to introduce urban infrastructure that is connected to the community. Secondly, to establish services and facilities tailored to meet the needs of elderly individuals seeking to maintain independent living. Thirdly, it is essential to connect public lands with outdoor landscaping. According to the change in perception of housing for the elderly, the need for spaces that separate residential and service areas and provide communities could be derived, and this study can confirm the implications of continuous service linkage and community network formation, such as linking with urban infrastructure, creating an independent living environment, and using public land.
