There are many elderly people who have few people to consult with and feel cut off from their local communities. It is necessary to create a community where the elderly can consult with each other easily and feel social ties. This study examined the process by which the social interactions of the elderly change after retirement. The elderly have diverse intentions to continue and develop their relationships based on their pre-retirement relationships. Furthermore, based on their own intentions, they change their relationships by meeting new people to consult with both in and outside the community. Furthermore, they are more likely to meet new people to consult with through theme-based activities in the community.
