Abstract This study investigated trends in the complexization of senior centers and conducted field surveys and surveys on 10 senior center centers in Seoul that are currently operating relatively well and are complex with facilities for the care of children. The characteristics of the spatial composition of a senior center integrated with a child care facility were identified, and users' satisfaction with the complex of senior center was determined. The spatial configuration of the complex senior center was divided into shared, partially shared, and separate types depending on whether the elderly group and children's group shared the main activity space, and the satisfaction of users of senior center was analyzed. As a result, the partially shared type showed higher satisfaction than the shared and separate types. In the complex of senior center facilities for different user groups, it can be seen that it is an important factor for users to fully understand and recognize that space is shared over time rather than occupied by specific groups without causing inconvenience to each other's activity areas.
