This study was conducted is to analyze the effect of satisfaction with community physical environment on life satisfaction among the elderly and to identify whether neighborhood relationships and social participation had double mediating effects. To this end, data about 30,531 people aged 65-74 from around the country was take from the results of a 2019 community health survey. The analysis results were as follows. First, satisfaction with community physical environment had a positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, subjective neighborhood relationships and social participation both had partial effects on the effect of satisfaction with community physical environment on life satisfaction. Third, the double mediating effects of subjective neighborhood relationships and social participation on the effect of satisfaction with community physical environment on life satisfaction were statistically significant. These results indicate that satisfaction with community physical environment improves subjective neighborhood relationships, which in turn increases their social participation, which in turn increases life satisfaction among the young elderly. These results indicate that efforts should be made up to improve the young elderly relationships in their neighborhoods to induce them to participate in social activities. These efforts can help the young elderly to establish a new role for themselves, improving their self-image, which would ultimately improve their satisfaction in old age.
