The population is elderly with welfare of 3,386,357 people in 20 provinces in the Northeast. The researcher has determined the sample group used in the study at the confidence level of 95 percent using the Krejcie & Morgan (1970). A total of 400 samples were used in this study by stratified random sampling and purposive sampling methods. Key informants are fifteen government agencies involved in policy implementation requirements (with at least seven years of policy driving experience) by using the purposive sampling method and having a focus group.
A data analysis of the elderly welfare system's needs revealed that, in general, the demand for the elderly welfare system is high ( =3.64, SD=0.43). The analysis of the data regarding the needs of the elderly welfare system reveals that the implementation of elderly welfare policies, in general, is at a high level (
=3.95, S.D.=0.51). According to the management structure that emphasizes working according to function and top-down command, management is carried out in the form of "covering the ground" and overlooks the potential and diversity of the area.
