Abstract
This study aims to clarify the relationship between the elderly's social life in community and participation in community work. For this objective, 17 elderly living in one region which has animated community work were surveyed by means of deep interview and behavior observation in the community work. This survey was carried out 4 times from 1999.4 to 2002.3 to trace the changes of one's life in community. The results of the analysis are as follows. 1) By participating in the community work, each elderly gets acquainted with a fair number of people in the community. 2) However, each elderly selects the way of one's social relations according to one's life course. 3) When one's ADL declines, home and day-care center play important roles for keeping and forming one's social relations.
