Taiwan has entered into an aging society where "aging in place" has become the mainstream lifestyle among the elderly population in Taiwan. Therefore, whether communities can provide an environment for the elderly to carry out daily activities has become an important topic in Taiwan in coming to terms with an aging society. In contrast with the urban areas, public facilities inrural neighborhoods are generally further away from the homes of senior citizens and there is a lack of variety of facilities. As a result, understanding the elderly population's activity types and spaces required, as well as their satisfaction levels about the affordance of the neighborhood environment, can serve as an important reference for planners who need to improve the 'age-friendliness' of the environment in non-urban areas. This research used as its case study the senior citizens who live in the five seaside villages in Xinwu District, Taoyuan City and the five mountainside villages in Sanxia District, New Taipei City and, by way of interviews and questionnaires (N=296), examined data about these senior citizens' activity types, main activity spaces, mobility levels, satisfaction levels about the spaces provided for their main activities and the affordance of the neighborhood environment. According to the results of this research, seniors in non-urban areas participate in activities mainly within 150 meters from their own homes. Their main activities took place in their own vegetable gardens and the community centers. As they faced restrictions in terms of participating in neighborhood activities, the vegetable gardens in their own homes provided the main space for them to take part in such activities. The average satisfaction rate of the seniors in non-urban areas about the affordance of the neighborhood environment was 3.81 (the highest score is 5.00). While the elderly people tended to be more satisfied with the provision of space for activities, resting and sheltering, they were rather dissatisfied about the provision of space for learning and facilities. In addition, communities that offer senior centers for senior citizens to stay active were appealing to the older population with mobility issues. The senior citizens were more satisfied with the affordance of the community centers than that of their own vegetable gardens. The factors that significantly affected the satisfaction level of the older population in non-urban areas regarding the affordance of the community centers included the provision of safety, accessibility and the functionality for carrying out activities. As for their satisfaction about the affordance of the neighborhood environment, factors such as "provision of support for seniors and social exchanges", "provision of functions for leisure activities in the neighborhood", "provision of accessibility in the neighborhood" and "provision of natural scenes in the neighborhood" had had a positive influence.
