台灣自1993年開始邁入高齡化社會(老年人口占總人口比率超過7%)，並於2018年正式成為高齡社會(老年人口占總人口比率超過14%)，代表七個人中就有一位是65歲以上長者，高齡化危機已深刻影響台灣人民生活。根據內政部統計，2018年國人平均餘命80.7歲，其中「需要依賴他人照顧」的不健康存活年數是8.8年，期間不只長者受病痛折磨，也造成家人及照顧者沉重的負擔。台灣高齡社會白皮書指出，增進高齡人口的健康與福祉是聯合國認定的兩大主軸。在2025年，台灣地區65歲以上高齡人口將跨越 20%門檻，正式邁入超高齡社會，高齡化浪潮席捲而來，面對人口老化問題，如何營造有品質幸福的老後生活，讓銀髮長者健康老化是最重要課題。
近年來由於養生村提供安全舒適的住居設備，吸引銀髮長者跳脫傳統在宅安養的觀念，在經濟自主前提下，選擇自主移居入住退休新桃花源。但養生村畢竟是集合式住宅，對入住長者來說，離開長久居住的家，融入新的環境及社交生活不是那麼容易，所以養生村整體規劃設計很重要。除了基本的照護安全設施外，更要營造兼顧銀髮長者身心靈需求的環境。本研究擬以入住養生村可促進健康快樂，延緩老化的前提下，探討銀髮族選擇養生村的關鍵需求，期望協助規劃更理想的養生居住環境。
本研究以問券調查方式，將快樂四感與社會參與融入問卷題項中，探究受訪者對於養生村居住環境與變數間關聯影響。問卷結果發現，安全感及寧靜感是受訪者選擇養生村重要考量因素，受訪者認同養生村可以提供有品質有尊嚴的生活，讓老後生活更快樂。在養生村經營上，協助長者豐富老後生活，維繫與社會的連結，減少孤獨感很重要。確實了解長者的需求，建構充滿活力的銀髮社區。同時也建議調降入住費用門檻，讓養生村普及化。平價的養生環境，對經濟弱勢族群是一大福音，讓更多長者享受安養照顧，對社會是一大貢獻。

Taiwan first started to transition into an aging society from 1993 and officially became an aging society in 2018. This means that one in seven people in Taiwan is an elderly person over 65 years old. The aging crisis poses a profound effect on the qual-ity of life of the Taiwanese. According to statistics from the Ministry of the Internal Affairs, the average life expectancy in 2018 was 80.7 years, among which the un-healthy survival years was 8.8 years. During that period, the elders not only suffer from illness, but also become a heavy burden for the family members. The White Pa-per on Taiwan ’s Elderly Society points out that improving the health and well-being of the elderly population are the two main spindles recognized. In 2025, the elderly population in Taiwan over 65 years will exceed the 20% threshold, and Taiwan will formally enter the super-aged society. With such anticipated growth and faced with the problem of the aging population, finding ways to create a healthy and happy life for the elders making the elderly healthy while aging has become an important con-cern.
In recent years, as the health care villages can provide safe and comfortable housing equipment, elders are attracted to move in the villages. However, it is not easy for the elder to move away from the long-term residence, the overall planning of the health care village is very important. Except basic care and safety facilities, an environment that considers the physical and mental needs of the elder should be cre-ated. This research, aims to explore the key needs of the people in choosing a healthcare village under the premise of promoting health and happiness and delaying aging while staying in the healthcare village.
A questionnaire integrated the four senses of happiness and social engagement. We hope to find the associating influence between the living environment. The ques-tionnaire results show that having a sense of security and tranquility is an important consideration for the respondents in choosing a health care village. The interviewees agree that the health care village can provide a qualified and for the elder. Meanwhile, we recommended that, the fee reduction is an important factor in the popularization. The affordable health environment allows the elder to stay active and delay aging. In this way, health care villages can make a great contribution to aging societies.
