중년층의 라이프스타일이 은퇴 후 주거선택에 미치는 영향과 개인적 특성에 따른 라이프스타일의 차이 및 은퇴 후 주거선택에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 현재의 중년층은 자신의 경제력을 바탕으로 안락한 주거환경에서 여유롭고 건강한 삶을 추구하려는 욕구가 높게 나타났고, 이에 편승하여 보건 의료시설, 문화, 휴양, 오락시설 등과 수준 높은 서비스가 제공되는 미래노인 주거를 선호하는 경향이 나타나고 있다. 주택수요 구조 변화의 또 다른 요인으로 꼽히는 것은 주5일 근무제의 확산, 소비수준의 향상, 교육수준의 향상, 여성의 경제활동 참여 확산 등 사회.문화. 경제적 환경의 전반적인 변화라 할 수 있다. 또한, 현재의 중년층은 기존의 노년층에 비해 상대적으로 자신을 젊게 생각하고 도전적이며 능동적인 라이프스타일을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 라이프스타일은 더욱 다양하게 전개될 것이며 노후의 다양한 삶의 욕구를 수용할 수 있는 주택 및 주거환경 계획이 요구된다. 이러한 배경에서 중년층의 은퇴 후 라이프스타일에 따른 주거선택 속성에 관한 연구의 필요성이 제기되었고, 주거만족과 주거선호를 예측하여 다양한 주택공급, 주거마케팅, 주택정책에 또 다른 관점을 제시하여, 그들이 선호하는 미래주거를 다양화 시켜 선택의 폭을 넓힐 수 있는 미래 주거환경에 대한 고찰이 필요하다고 본다.
