Relevant studies were searched through RISS, KISS, Scholar, and e-article using key terms such as the elderly, housing satisfaction, or combinations of them. An initial search was resulted in 2,131 journal articles published until October 31, 2019.

As results, first of all, there were various disciplines involved in terms of studies on housing satisfaction among the elderly, for example, gerontology, social welfare, public health, design, etc. There were also a growing number of multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary studies in the area of research. Second, the concept of housing satisfaction among the elderly has been widely used including community environment and locations, interior facilities and convenience, interior space and size, lights, and it was assessed using measures that consisted of multiple sub-scales.
