ABSTRACT
The number of urban silver towns that can be linked to cultural, convenience, and medical facilities in a city has been gradually increasing in order to solve aging problems, which has become serious recently due to the aging of society. However, urban silver towns have become inappropriate elements for the elderly people who use them in terms of accessing the diversity of the city due to insufficient considerations in the area of urban planning. The aim of this study is to select one urban silver town currently in operation to establish preliminary data, and the conclusions reached are as follows. The benefits of the urban silver town can be capitalized while increasing its utility through proper linkage with adjacent surrounding facilities. However, the urban silver town selected in this study was low in the indicators of connectivity, control value, and intelligibility, which are the space syntax. Such aspects cause difficulty for elderly people using facilities adjacent to the silver town. However, it is considered possible to improve the intelligibility by locating the urban silver town at the center of the moving line in terms of urban planning, in order to improve accessibility to surrounding facilities. This will raise the availability of the facilities adjacent to elderly people, increasing the benefits of the urban silver towns.
