Currently, the city of Semarang has experienced an increase in the number of elderly people since 2017 and continues to increase, special attention to elderly users is important so that this increase does not become a new problem in urban areas. One of the government's efforts to pay attention to the elderly is by creating public spaces. Public spaces in the city of Semarang, such as Simpang Lima, are still popular with the elderly. Many elderly people are found in the morning with sports activities, but according to the elderly, the facilities at Simpang Lima have not been able to meet their needs.
