Abstract: This paper constructs a spatial livability of real state for the elderly from the five aspects of medical completeness,living convenience,accessibility,environmental comfort and environmental health.Using GIS analysis tool and taking Wuhan city as an example,the paper analyzes and appraises the livability of real estate with different space for the elderly.The results show that most of the areas with high livable living space in Wuhan are located in the central areas of the city,with a declining trend outward from the urban center.The majority of the sites of the existing projects for the elderly in Wuhan are away from the central urban area;and the low spatial livability has an unfavorable influence on the living of the elderly.The two indicators of medical completeness and living convenience are the main constraints on the development of real estate for the elderly.Judging from the evaluation results,the index system constructed in this paper is reasonable,and the evaluation results of real estate for the elderly in Wuhan are also in line with the actual situation.The research in this paper can provide a scientific reference for the spatial planning of the future real estate for the elderly in Wuhan and also have certain practical significance for coping with the increasingly serious aging problem in our country.

Key words: land utilization, real estate for the elderly, spatial livability, Wuhan city
