The purpose of this study is to investigate the lifestyle characteristics of baby boomers and identify their needs for community activity programs based on lifestyle types. The goal is to provide foundational data for community revitalization services for the elderly. The study conducted an online web survey targeting baby boomers nationwide, analyzing 216 responses using SPSS 27.0 The key findings of the survey are as follows:1)Baby boomers were classified into four lifestyle types: ‘community-oriented,’ ‘intellectual pursuit,’ ‘active old age community,’ and ‘introverted self-management type.’ 2)The surveyed individuals showed a strong preference for exercise-related programs, with walking, exercising, and swimming being the most favored. 3)The ‘active senior community type’ showed a preference for a variety of programs, including sports-related, leisure-related, culture-related, and health-related. In contrast, the ‘introverted self-management type’ favored living support programs. The study concludes by suggesting that future research should focus on designating a specific survey target area and analyzing the needs for community activity programs among the elderly residing in that area based on the unique characteristics of the community.
