본 연구는 노인여가복지시설 중 하나인 경로당을 중심으로 고령자의 공간이용행태를 조사하여 공간이용도 및 만족도 개선을 위한 조건을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 경로당을 이용한 경험이 있는 만 65세 고령자 300명(남성 104명, 여성 196명)을 대상으로 경로당 공간이용행태 및 선호이용행태를 파악하기 위하여 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 고령자의 경로당 이용빈도는 월 1-3회가 가장 많았고, 선호 이용빈도는 주 1-3회로 나타났다. 즉, 경로당을 자주 이용하고 싶지만 실제로는 자주 이용하지 못한다는 결과가 나타났다. 경로당에서 건강증진을 위한 활동프로그램의 선호도가 높은 것을 볼 때, 건강증진을 목적으로 하는 공간프로그램이 제공된다면 이용도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 파악된다. 두 번째, 경로당 이용시간이 최소 1시간에서 최대 5시간으로나타남에 따라 다양한 개인적 활동을 지원하는 공간이 제공된다면 만족도 및 이용도가 향상될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 세 번째, 경로당 이용하지 않은 이유에 대하여 친목의 어려움, 접근성의 어려움으로 나타나 친목을 강화시켜줄 수 있는 프로그램 또는 공간구성이 개선되거나 접근성을 제고시켜줄 수 있는 다양한 편의를 제공하는 것이 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.
