Abstract:

Age-friendly built environments have been promoted by the World Health Organisation (WHO, Geneva, Switzerland) under the Global Age-friendly Cities (AFC) movement in which three domains are related to the built environment. These are: housing, transportation, outdoor spaces and public buildings. The aim is to foster active ageing by optimising opportunities for older adults to maximise their independent living ability and participate in their communities to enhance their quality of life and wellbeing. An age-friendly built environment is inclusive, accessible, respects individual needs and add

An age-friendly environment has been expanded in a broader range. Indonesia was one of many states around the world that adopted the framework and developed the programs, and initiatives to create an age-friendly environment. This study proposed to map and compare published studies in global and national contexts. By applying a systematic literature review of PRISMA 2020 standards, this study consisted of five phases: (1) research questions, (2) eligibility criteria and sources of information, (3) search selection, (4) process of study selection, and (5) data coding and synthesis from Mendeley

Abstract:

Abstract Cities and counties worldwide have adopted the concept of “age-friendly communities” to promote the well-being of older adults. An age-friendly community is a place that provides a safe and affordable built environment and a social environment that encourages older adults’ participation. A major limitation in this field is the lack of valid and reliable measures of age-friendly communities. This study used data from the AARP 2016 Age-Friendly Community Surveys (N=3,652 adults ages 65 and older). This study included 57 indicators of age-friendliness (e.g., housing, transportation, publ

Declining vocabulary and poor comprehension of complex sentences are some depleting language skills faced by the elderly. As such, this study explored the cues that construct young people's understanding of effective communication within the older and young adult dyad. Qualitative data retrieved from open-ended questions were thematically analysed, and specific facets that contribute to understanding age-related differences were developed. The results catalysed the development of the Integrative Language-based Communication Diagram that could reduce the prevalence of communication breakdown. T

Abstract As the age-friendly movement grows in its second decade, urgent questions of initiative sustainability have taken hold in the academic literature and among advocates implementing age-friendly changes. The creation of authentically age-inclusive environments requires not just the continuation of the initiative itself, but that its principles become embedded in formal and informal organizational processes, across sectors and beyond familiar networks focused on older populations.

Abstract:

Abstract Abrupt industrialization, urbanization, and the emergence of the nuclear family have contributed to the increase of single-person households, placing an emphasis on individualization in society. Because of such changes, more people are living alone and feeling lonely, alienated from society and family. This research examined the association between loneliness and age-friendly environment, a community equipped with policies, settings, services, and structures that promote active ageing and aging-in-place, with the mediating roles of social support and sense of community.

Abstract:

Abstract Urban stress, or tension attributed to city living, is often experienced by individuals in urban areas due to environmental and social stressors. The life-space framework assesses older persons’ mobility based on the extent of movement within their environment while engaging in activities, and whether assistance is required for said movement. Chronic exposure to urban stress affects older persons’ life-space, and is associated with reduced quality of life. Yet, the connection between urban stress and life-space has not been fully explored in the existing literature. Singapore is the t

Abstract To explore how access to transportation and technology/social media influence social connectivity among an ethnically diverse group of vulnerable low-income older adults, six focus groups were conducted (N=48) in English, Spanish, and Korean at a senior services agency. Qualitative thematic analyses revealed overarching themes that fit within the World Health Organization’s Age-Friendly Domains of Livability. The sub-theme “barriers and facilitators to accessibility” ran through each of the overarching themes, demonstrating how specific factors of the built, social, and community heal

Abstract:

Purpose Population ageing is expected to have an increasing impact on the economy and society. In particular, it creates a myriad of challenges for stakeholders in the construction and property sectors. The design of the built environment would now need to consider the requirements of the older population in the community. This paper aims to provide a study on the readiness of mainstream sustainability reporting tools (SRTs) in helping to create an age-friendly built environment.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The world population is aging fast and not all cities are prepared to cope with the needs of the elderly people. Cities need to develop strategies for senior citizens including the aspects of health, nutrition, consumer protection, housing, transportation, environment, social welfare, income, employment, safety, and education. The World Health Organization (WHO) created a program dedicated to older adults called the age-friendly city. This program is about creating the environment and opportunities that enable older people to be and do what they value throughout their lives. Most of t

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) strives to assist and inspire cities to become more ‘age-friendly’ through the Global Age-Friendly Cities Guide. An age-friendly city offers a supportive environment that enables residents to grow older actively within their families, neighbourhoods and civil society, and offers extensive opportunities for their participation in the community. In the attempts to make cities age-friendly, ageism may interact with these developments. The goal of this study was to investigate the extent to which features of age-friendly cities, both facilitators and hindrances,

Abstract Objectives Older people with cognitive impairment are more likely to feel lonely and to have lower well-being compared to others (Shankar et al., 2017). One way to overcome difficulties and loneliness is to live in an Age Friendly Environment (AFE) (Gibney et al., 2020). Living in an AFE enables older people to stay active even when function deteriorates (Cramm et al., 2018) and thus- maintain low loneliness and high well-being (Domènech-Abella et al., 2021). Approximately 18%-25% of people aged 60 and over whose objective cognitive function is normal report a subjective cognitive imp
