As a result of exploring the process of forming the meaning of housing, four categories, 11 thematic collections, and 26 themes were derived, and the process of forming the meaning of housing reflecting the identity of the elderly living alone could be confirmed by grasping the essential structure of the participants' housing experience.,Based on these results, we discussed ways to understand the context of life and the process of housing meaning formation experienced by the elderly living alone in the community and to find strategies for community care services considering the reality of improving the quality of life and housing support for the elderly living alone in the community.
