隨著醫療科技進步，全球老年人口快速增長。在「在地老化」政策的推動下，地方依附成為環境心理學中的重要概念。過去研究顯示，地方依附與幸福感呈正相關，並在促進社會參與中發揮作用。近年來，世界衛生組織（WHO）發佈《全球高齡友善城市：指南》，強調需提供舒適、安全且具支持性的生活環境，以促進老年人生活功能並發揮最大潛力。然而，現有研究較偏重政策執行面，較少深入探討老年人對高齡友善環境的主觀感知與需求。
本研究以WHO高齡友善八大面向為基礎，調查臺南市376位65歲以上社區老年人，旨在瞭解其高齡友善感知程度，並探討高齡友善感知、地方依附與幸福感之間的關係，進一步分析影響幸福感的重要預測因子。此為橫斷性研究，主要使用SPSS 22.0作為資料分析工具，並以多元迴歸與中介效果分析等統計方法進行。
研究結果發現，在高齡友善八大面向中，社會環境構面得分普遍高於物理環境構面，相關分析顯示，高齡友善感知、地方依附亦與幸福感皆呈顯著正相關。此外，健康狀況、行動能力、社會支持與地方依附為老年人幸福感的重要預測因子，且地方依附在高齡友善感知與幸福感之間具中介作用。
本研究基於人與環境互動的視角，探討高齡友善感知、地方依附與幸福感之間的關聯，建議未來環境規劃應納入高齡者的觀點，以推動在地老化之政策實踐，營造更具友善性與包容性的生活環境，進而提升老年族群的幸福感。

With advancements in medical technology, the aging population is rapidly increasing globally. Previous studies have shown that place attachment (PA) is positively associated with well-being, playing a significant role in aging in place and social participation. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently emphasized creating comfortable, safe, and supportive living environments to enhance older adults' function and potential. However, existing research tends to focus more on policy implementation and less on exploring older adults' subjective perceptions and needs regarding age-friendly environments. This study aimed to understand their age-friendly perceptions and to investigate the relationships among age-friendly perceptions, PA, and well-being. Furthermore, the study sought to identify significant predictors of well-being. This cross-sectional study surveyed 376 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and above in Tainan City. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0, employing statistical methods such as t-tests, one-way ANOVA, multiple regression, and mediation analysis. The study results indicate that age-friendly perceptions, place attachment, and well-being all show significant positive correlations. Health status, mobility, social support, and place attachment were identified as important predictors of older adults' well-being. Additionally, place attachment was found to mediate the relationship between age-friendly perceptions and well-being. Based on a person-environment interaction perspective, this study explores the connections among age-friendly perceptions, place attachment, and well-being. This research suggests that future environmental planning should incorporate older adults' perspectives to promote aging-in-place policies.
