다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The study started from the fact that the mental problems of the elderly need attention as social aging deepens, and that the elderly living alone are the most vulnerable group and should pay more attention to their health status. The purpose of this study is to study the healing factors of neighborhood park environment in order to better improve the daily leisure environment of elderly people living alone. Therefore, this study compared the elderly living alone with the general elderly group to analyze whether the elderly's living alone affects their perception of the healing environment.
In terms of research methods, this study uses exploratory factor analysis and independent sample t-test analysis.
The general contents and results of the study are as follows. First, the evaluation factors of healing environment were extracted from related literature, and the 10 most important healing environment factors and three top factors in neighborhood parks were extracted through the survey results of previous research. Second, based on function classification, the internal space of the neighborhood park is divided into four components: Access space, Walking space, Landscape-Landscape space, and Convenience-Facility space. Third, through empirical research, it is found that there are different differences in the evaluation of the healing environment elements of neighborhood parks between the elderly living alone and the general elderly depending on the space they compose.
Based on these research results, the direction of future research on how to improve the lack of healing environment in neighborhood parks for elderly people living alone is suggested, and it is expected that after improvement, the mental health problems of elderly people living alone will be effectively alleviated and life satisfaction will be improved.
