AbstractGamcheon Village is a small hilltop town where believers of a new religion migrated and lived after the Korean War. While the village is evaluated as a thriving urban regeneration model, it’s developing into an aged village due to a decrease in residents. Socioeconomic deprivation factors, such as an increase in low-income families and lack of convenience facilities are increasing. This study explores how village life has changed in personal and social meaning and conditions through the stories of elderly people who have played a leading role in village problems, and what conditions can enable ‘active aging’ as a change in the village community.Keywords: sense of place, male elderly, life history, urban regeneration, place identity
