In the case of social activities of the elderly, aspect of personal activities indicated highest score than aspects of socially-related activities or learning activities. The most common activity was hobby activity among socially-related activities, going shopping among personal activities and participation in community workshop among learning activities. It was different properties between two areas depending on contents of social activity.

Self-rated health was positively associated with frequency of going outdoors and personal activities.<br> Although trend in degrees of frequency of going outdoors or social network were different in the suburbs and the urban area, there was interrelated with social activities.<br> To promote social activity in the community, it might be effective to use social network or place to go out frequently by providing information in activities.
