Abstract

Abstract Age-friendly community design is a crucial agenda globally. This study used a qualitative geographic information system (QGIS) approach and an interpretive descriptive orientation to analyze the spatially oriented exercise experiences of community-dwelling older adults living in a low-income neighborhood in Hong Kong. Fifteen community-dwelling older adults aged 62–88 years were involved in the study. Participants were found to make use of different places (i.e., footbridges and children’s playgrounds) proximal to their home locations and create space for their habitual physical exercise routines. These interpretative results add a new dimension of understanding to the planning and design of age-friendly communities.

囚犯与空间和场所的创造者：解读性描述性QGIS研究以了解低收入社区老年人的锻炼体验

摘要适合老年人的社区设计是全球的一项重要议程。本研究采用定性地理信息系统（QGIS）方法和解释性描述性取向来分析香港低收入社区老年人的空间定向锻炼体验。15名62岁至88岁的社区老年人这项研究花费了数年时间。研究发现，参与者利用离家较近的不同地方（即人行桥和儿童游乐场），为他们习惯性的体育锻炼创造空间。这些解释性结果为老年友好社区的规划和设计增加了一个新的理解维度。

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.
