| Research Abstract |
This study examined the impact of rural planning on community development related to improvements in the level of QOL (Quality of Life) of elderly persons living in the mountainous villages. We interviewed elderly persons living in the mountainous villages regarding their conditions of their social life, and whether they were living alone. In general, elderly persons had low evaluations on QOL on health and use of facilities for travel. The elderly persons who had high QOL evaluations had outdoors activities and their families often visited their homes.
