Abstract
It is important for the government to pay attention to the challenges of an aging population, starting from the economic sector, risk vulnerability, and the provision of health services. This encourages the urgency of the concept of "Age-Friendly Cities" (AFC) in the form of environmental facilities that are safe for the elderly. The team of authors conducted a study to understand the development of elderly welfare policies in the AFC. The systemic literature review method was applied in this study. The result is that the majority of mixed methods are used in researching AFC policy evaluations. Studies on the evaluation of indicators of space and outbuildings, or environmental conditions and buildings as well as facilities available outside the home, are the dominant research focus. Policy makers must pay attention to the diversity of their citizens so that the implemented policies can provide solutions for the elderly.
