A Study on the Changed Daily Life of the Elderly in the Age of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Focused on Welfare Center Users

This study aims to explore daily changes in the ecological environment of the elderly caused by participation restrictions in welfare centers due to COVID-19. Eleven volunteers who were active in a welfare center were selected for in-depth interviews and interviews with individual focus groups. According to the study, the participants are experiencing isolation and depression as participation restrictions lead to constraints on physical activities. Therefore, to improve the quality of life of those in danger of social isolation, online learning should be used as an alternative to non-face-to-face communication during COVID-19. It is expected that continued interest will lead to the search for alternatives and active research in this area.
