The purposes of this study were to exploring the rural residents' satisfaction of living environment and social service. For these purpose we collected the data from the residents in rural area(1,000). The major findings of this study were as follows : First, the total satisfaction score is 58.9. The highest score group is housing and environment(69.9). And the lowest score group is cultural life and leisure environment. Various welfare services have been carried out for low income people, disabled people, old people, children and rural women within the social service system. But many respondents did not have chances to use social service because it was not efficiently provided many social services. So most of the residents in village wanted more welfare services. Second, the qualitative enhancement is more important than physical infrastructure expansion in order to improve rural settlement condition(housing quality, water supply and drainage, road and traffic system, medical care etc.)

Dosage for most of the subjects was about twice a day. 16.7% of them took non-prescribed medicine and only 27.5% perform exercise. 4. Positive correlation was shown among symptom, discomfort of living activities, self-efficacy and life satisfaction, while there was negative correlation among symptom and self-efficacy, symptom and life satisfaction, discomfort of living activities and self-efficacy, and discomfort of living activities and life satisfaction. In addition, exercise showed significant relationship with discomfort of living activities, and non-prescribed medicine showed significant relationship with discomfort of living activities and self-efficacy.

Severity of the symptom was at modest level, while discomfort of living activities were relatively insignificant. However self-efficacy was relatively high. Furthermore self-efficacy has influences on symptom and discomfort of life activities, just as exercise affects discomfort of life activities.

This study investigated whether housing accessibility plays a significant role in explaining the relation between mobility disability and residential satisfaction of seniors. Also, it identified people who are at greatest risk of mobility disability and living in homes without housing accessibility. We analyzed the 2011 American Housing Survey data with a sample of 20,089 households aged 55 and over living in single-family homes. Results show that although residential satisfaction decreased as mobility became more disabled, the key housing accessibility features were significant buffers against the negative impact of mobility disability on residential satisfaction. Seniors who were Black, low-income, housing-costs burden and renters in older housing in an urban area were more likely to have mobility limitations but fewer housing accessibility features. The moderating effect of housing accessibility on residential satisfaction was much greater for seniors with greater mobility disability. For vulnerable seniors living in an old single-family home, housing policymakers or local communities should consider home modification programs and services after evaluating housing accessibility.
