Abstract

Abstract Out-of-home activities are critical for older adults’ health and quality of life. Using field observations and interviews, this study investigated what neighborhood environmental characteristics influence older adults’ out-of-home activities in a high-rise, high-density neighborhood in Singapore. Except for individual characteristics, this study revealed four environmental themes (i.e., physical environment, social environment, service environment/management, information and technological systems) and 18 subthemes affecting older adults’ out-of-home activities. It highlights the importance of neighborhood spaces for encouraging active and healthy aging. To further encourage out-of-home activities, neighborhood planning and design should protect the public domain and pay more attention to the pedestrian circulation system and design details.

超龄高层高密度社区老年人的户外活动:一项定性研究

摘要外出活动对老年人的健康和生活质量至关重要。本研究采用实地观察和访谈的方法，调查了新加坡一个高层、高密度社区的社区环境特征对老年人外出活动的影响。除了个人特征外，本研究揭示了四个环境主题（即物理环境、社会环境、服务环境/管理、信息和技术系统）和18个影响老年人外出活动的子主题。它强调了邻里空间对鼓励积极健康老龄化的重要性。为了进一步鼓励外出活动，社区规划和设计应保护公共领域，并更多地关注行人流通系统和设计细节。

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.
