Abstract：
The global concern surrounding the aging population has brought the well-being of older individuals to the forefront of societal attention. Unfortunately, studies focusing on the well-being of older people residing in rural areas are frequently overshadowed by the developmental disparities between rural and urban regions. Thus, this study aims to delve into the non-linear impact of walking accessibility on the subjective well-being of rural older adults. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of this relationship, ultimately contributing to an improved quality of life and health for older adults in rural areas.
In this study, the Random Forest algorithm was employed to explore the non-linear effects of demographic variables, perceived safety, subjective built environment (including perceptions and preferences of the built environment), and walking accessibility on the subjective well-being of older adults.
The findings of this study underscore the pivotal role of walking accessibility in influencing the well-being of older adults, particularly in terms of access to bazaars and health centers, where non-linear and threshold effects are evident. Furthermore, community safety, road conditions, and walking preferences were identified as positive influencers on the well-being of older adults. Well-being trends varied with age, revealing noteworthy non-linear relationships for certain variables.
The insights gained from this study provide crucial theoretical guidance for the development of policies tailored to the unique context of rural aging. By taking into account factors such as walking accessibility, community safety, health support, and social interaction, we can create an improved living environment for rural older adults, ultimately enhancing their happiness and overall quality of life.

摘要：
围绕人口老龄化的全球关注使老年人的福祉成为社会关注的最前沿。不幸的是,关注农村地区老年人福祉的研究经常被城乡之间的发展差距所掩盖。因此，本研究旨在探讨步行可达性对农村老年人主观幸福感的非线性影响.目标是全面了解这种关系，最终有助于改善农村地区老年人的生活质量和健康。
■在这项研究中，随机森林算法被用来探索人口统计学变量的非线性效应，感知的安全性，主观建筑环境(包括对建筑环境的感知和偏好)，和步行可达性对老年人主观幸福感的影响。
■这项研究的结果强调了步行可达性在影响老年人幸福感方面的关键作用，特别是在进入集市和保健中心方面，其中非线性和阈值效应是明显的。此外，社区安全,路况,步行偏好被认为是对老年人福祉的积极影响因素。幸福趋势随年龄而变化，揭示了某些变量值得注意的非线性关系。
■从这项研究中获得的见解为制定针对农村老龄化的独特背景的政策提供了重要的理论指导。通过考虑步行可达性等因素，社区安全,健康支持,和社会互动，我们可以为农村老年人创造一个更好的生活环境，最终提高他们的幸福感和整体生活质量。
