A Study of Leisure Activities and Life Satisfaction of the Elderly: Based on Northern Gyeonggi Province

This study was conducted to empirically analyze the relationship between leisure constraints, leisure activities, and life satisfaction of the elderly in an environment of increasing elderly population. The subjects of this study were 291 elderly people in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, whose development was limited due to geographical and security specificities and relatively high proportion of the elderly in the metropolitan area. As a result of analyzing the leisure constraints of the elderly and analyzing the correlation between the constraints, leisure activities and life satisfaction of the elderly, first, the leisure constraints of the elderly consisted of social, individual, family, and economic constraints. Second, the elderly in northern Gyeonggi Province pointed to economic difficulties as the biggest factor among leisure constraints. Third, leisure activities and life satisfaction of the elderly show a positive correlation. Fourth, leisure activity constraints showed a significant correlation with both leisure activity and life satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the life satisfaction by inducing diverse and positive participation in leisure activities by analyzing leisure constraints of the elderly in northern Gyeonggi province.
