Abstract

AbstractItaly is experiencing one of the fastest rates of aging in Europe, with a significant number of older people living alone in their own homes. However, there are currently no guidelines in place for the design of age-friendly housing in the country. To address this issue, the Italian Age-friendly House Scorecard (IAHS) has been developed. This tool allows housing owners and designers to assess the age-friendliness of existing housing environments, while also enabling planners and designers to prioritize areas of intervention and inform future projects. The development of the IAHS was a five-phase research process that involved knowledge acquisition, metrics development and validation, weighting of indexes and sub-indicators, aggregation, and scorecard development and testing.Keywords: Age-friendly housingaging in placecomposite indicatorscorecard Notes1 Auser has about 45,000 volunteers with branches nationwide and has supported national scientific research.2 The number of “I don’t know” answers never exceeded 2%; therefore, the researchers assumed that they did not influence the validity of the analysis.3 The Ministerial Decree 236/1989 is the Italian regulation for overcoming architectural barriers.

意大利老年友好型住房记分卡(IAHS):一种评估住房老年友好性的综合指标

抽象地说，英国是欧洲老龄化速度最快的国家之一，大量老年人独自生活在自己的家中。然而，目前在该国没有设计老年人友好型住房的指导方针。为了解决这个问题，意大利老年人友好型房屋记分卡(IAHS)已经开发出来。该工具允许业主和设计师评估现有住房环境的年龄友好性，同时也使规划师和设计师能够优先考虑干预领域，并为未来的项目提供信息。IAHS的开发是一个五个阶段的研究过程，包括知识获取、指标开发和验证、指标和子指标的加权、汇总和计分卡的开发和测试。关键词:老年友好型住房地方老龄化综合指标记分卡注1 Auser拥有约4.5万名志愿者，在全国设有分支机构，支持国家科研回答“我不知道”的人数从未超过2%;因此，研究人员认为他们不会影响分析的有效性第236/1989号部长级法令是意大利克服建筑障碍的条例。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
