| Abstract: | The preferred spaces for leisure activities across all age groups in Seoul, South Korea, and the age inclusiveness of leisure spaces during the COVID-19 were investigated. The accessibility and distribution preferences for leisure facilities of different generations are investigated as aspects of leisure space age inclusiveness. One-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, boxplot analysis, and GIS mapping were applied. The cost, time, and importance of leisure significantly differ by generation. Additionally, leisure space preferences differ by age group. A discrepancy in the distribution of age-inclusive leisure spaces by generation and district is revealed. The land value of a district relates to the distribution of age-inclusive leisure space. Planners and policymakers can use these findings to promote socially age-inclusive communities that support 'aging in place' and leisure spaces for all generations, thereby promoting the health of all residents. However, it is essential to note that this study has limitations arising from the COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
