Methods: This study analyzes regional linkage characteristics through 8 cases of Aichi-Elderly Facilities which realize regional interaction and symbiosis(life together) between various generations by visiting. Result: 1) Most researched facilities except SO provide and share opportunity for interaction with community and residents through space for regional interaction including cafe and various programs and interactive settings. 2) The facility which seeks regional linkage through Mixed-use of facilities can devide into ①Mixed-use of facilities easy to found, ② Addition of housing function (NM, SM, DM) and ③ Mixed-use with different facilities(HY, GM) 3) The characteristics of interaction and symbiosis between generations are ① to adopt concept of life together to have interaction possibility with young generation and children: most studied facilities except SO ② to establish elderly residence into facility to have interaction(FE, SM, GM) or place family room or single room into elderly residence (NM, DM, BN) ③ to disperse small facilities into community (FE) or facility or community realizing symbiosis through various facility arrangement (SM, GM). 4) Therefore, this study can categorize ①Program network, ②Temporary interaction, ③Symbiosis residence, ④ Symbiosis community according to characteristics which regional linkage has.
