Abstract

Recently, numerous countries have been facing the issue of population ageing, which poses a formidable challenge for many sectors, including transportation. Alas, there are no detailed or insightful studies that involve the analysis of the elderly, which is why the authors of this paper decided to research the issue to determine which features of mobility are common among senior citizens (aged 60+). In our study, we focused on Baluty, a district located in Łodź. The applied research tool was an interview questionnaire which consisted of eight questions. Since transportation is a fundamental human need, maintenance of the mobility of the elderly at an acceptable level is crucial as it directly impacts the quality of their life. What is more, a change of motivation and mode of transport is recommended for this age group.

老年人的日常流动：以波兰罗兹为例

最近，许多国家都面临人口老龄化问题，这对包括交通在内的许多部门构成了巨大的挑战。唉，目前还没有涉及老年人分析的详细或有见地的研究，这就是为什么本文的作者决定研究这个问题，以确定哪些特征是老年人(60岁以上)共同的流动性。在我们的研究中，我们集中在Baluty，一个位于Łodź的地区。应用的研究工具是一个由八个问题组成的访谈问卷。由于交通是人类的基本需要，因此将老年人的流动性维持在一个可接受的水平是至关重要的，因为这直接影响到他们的生活质量。更重要的是，建议这个年龄组改变动机和交通方式。
