摘要本研究旨在探讨山区老年人的地形偏好。Topophilia是1999年段义孚提出的地理概念，指的是人与地点或环境之间的情感联系。共有120名生活在山区的老年人对由Wataru Koyano开发的标准化的、经过验证的9项生活满意度指数K（主观幸福感）和一份新的结构化的6项地形喜好问卷进行了回应。因子分析揭示了两个领域的地形偏好（公共情感和对居住场所的私人情感）。公众情绪是一种难以离开生活场所的情绪。私人情感是一种不喜欢生活场所的情感。在某些地区，老年人对现状的依恋程度较低老年人对目前的住所几乎没有幸福感和依恋感。认为山区老年人的日常生活不仅需要身体上的支持，还需要精神上的支持。此外，我们还研究了年龄和居住地点对主观幸福感和地形偏好的影响。年龄与主观幸福感无显著相关，但年龄与拓扑依恋程度有显著正相关（r = 0.234, p < 0.01）。另一方面，不同居住地的主观幸福感有显著差异（p < 0.001；方差分析），不同居住地的地形喜好程度无显著差异。这些结果表明，主观幸福感不受年龄的影响而受居住地的影响，而地形偏好不受居住地的影响而受年龄的影响。
The aim of this study was to examine topophilia in the elderly living in mountainous areas. Topophilia, which is the geographical concept invented by Yi-Fu Tuan in 1999, is defined as the affective bond between people and place or environmental setting. A total of 120 elderly subjects living in a mountainous area responded to a standardized, validated 9-item Life Satisfaction Index K (subjective well-being) developed by Wataru Koyano and a new structured 6-item ques-tionnaire on topophilia. Factor analyses revealed two domains of topophilia (public emotion and private emotion toward the living place). Public emotion was the emotion of being hard to leave the living place. Private emotion was the emotion of not loving the living place. There were ar-eas where the elderly had a lesser degree of attachment toward the present state of the elderly could hardly have a sense of well-being and attachments to the current domicile. It is considered that not only physical but also mental approach is necessary to support the daily life of the elderly living in the mountainous area. Also, we examined the influences of aging and the living place on a subjective well-being and topophilia. There was no significant correlation between age and subjective well-being, but there was significant positive correlation between age and the degree of topophilia (r ＝ 0.234, p ＜ 0.01). On the other hand, the degree of subjective well-being by the place of residence was significantly different (p ＜ 0.001 ; ANOVA), and the degree of topophilia by the place of residence was not significantly different. These findings suggest that subjective well-being is not influenced by age but influenced by the place of residence, and topo-phillia is not influenced by the place of residence but influenced by age.
