摘要

在依赖汽车的社会中,停止驾驶可能会降低老年人的独立性和生活质量。老年人戒车后保持独立性的一种方法是鼓励步行前往当地目的地。本文探讨了社区步行能力如何影响老年人在步入老年后保持生活方式的能力。基于从 2023 年 "居家养老 "调查(N=3551)中收集的数据,我们分析了加拿大 6 个地区的调查对象对其社区交通的看法与步行得分之间的关系。我们探讨了社区步行能力与受访者对其独立性、生活质量以及未来需要搬迁的可能性的看法之间的关系。我们发现,与那些居住在步行能力较差地区的人相比,那些居住在步行便利社区的人认为,当他们停止开车时,他们将保持自己的生活方式。结果表明,街区的步行能力是老年人保持独立性和维持生活方式的关键因素。

Linking Neighborhood Walkability to the Independence and Quality of Life of Older Adults across Canada
In car dependent societies, driving cessation may reduce older adults’ independence and quality of life. One way to maintain independence for older adults after quitting driving is to encourage walking to local destinations. This paper explores how neighborhood walkability impacts older adults’ ability to maintain their lifestyles as they age. Based on data collected from the 2023 Aging in Place survey (N=3,551), we analyze the relationship between survey respondents’ perceptions of transport in their neighborhood and its Walk Score across 6 Canadian regions. We explore the association between neighborhood walkability and respondents’ perception of their independence, quality of life, and likelihood of needing to move in the future. We find that those living in walkable neighborhoods believe that they will maintain their lifestyle when they stop driving compared to those who live in less walkable areas. The results indicate that neighborhood walkability is a key element in enabling older adults to keep their independence and sustain their lifestyle.
