As the population in old residential areas ages, the results of old renovation will have a significant impact on the older adults quality of life and subjective well-being. Purpose: To date, most relevant studies have focused on urban and community scales, with little discussion of the impact of neighborhood-level renewal outcomes on the well-being of older adults. As a result, the purpose of this research is to optimize the quality renewal elements of existing old residential areas based on the results of their renovation in order to create a more livable living environment for older adults in existing old residential areas. Methods: Based on a survey of old neighborhoods in Dalian, the study examines the mediating effect of psychological resilience between multi-quality renewal elements and the subjective well-being of the older adults, and it discusses the influence of multiquality renewal elements on the subjective well-being of the older adults in different residential types. Results: According to the findings, multi-quality renewal elements of residence positively predicted the subjective well-being of the older adults; there was a significant mediating effect of psychological resilience between the renewal elements and subjective wellbeing of the older adults. The study confirms that multiple quality renewal elements can contribute to older people's subjective wellbeing, and that psychological resilience plays an important role in the selection of multiple quality renewal elements and older people's subjective well-being. Conclusion:The research provides guidance for the establishment of health-oriented approaches to environmental restoration in residential areas for the sustainable development of communities and cities.
