As South Korea rapidly enters a super-aged society, various improvements are being explored in response to a shrinking population and aging demographics. This study aims to explore the activation characteristics of age-friendly streets designed to foster community among the elderly. The research involved an examination of the sense of place and overall classification characteristics of streets, focusing on their interactive features. Following this, attributes related to the elderly were identified using the WHO’s Age-Friendly Cities Guide and an analysis of sector-specific indicators influenced by elderly contact. This led to the identification of five key characteristics: functionality, aesthetics, commercial viability, cultural relevance, and policy. The scope and methodology of the study involved a comparative analysis using these characteristics, focusing on the ‘Rakhee Street’ pilot project and the ‘Walkable Street’ in Yeokchon-dong, Seoul, which has a high elderly population ratio. The analysis identified a significant need for functional aspects to achieve age-friendly elements. These efforts could serve as a basis for future strategies to create age-friendly streets and broadly contribute to the revitalization of streets.
