摘要

基于Little的生态模型(2010)，我们提出了一种方法来探索环境支持性在促进老年人生活质量(QoL)中的作用，在该模型中，个体和情境因素影响个人显著性项目。个人项目是个人参与的自我产生的、目的导向的活动或目标(Little, 1983)。实现这些活动的效果取决于项目的性质以及项目受到外部因素(如环境)支持的程度。我们利用Sugiyama和Ward Thompson (2007a)提出的“环境支持”概念，探讨了室外环境与生活质量之间的关系。老年人参与户外个人项目的数量与反映其生活质量的指标之间存在正相关关系。在涉及自然的项目中，感知到的环境支持与生活质量指标之间的关系显著，而在其他项目类型中则不显著。

Outdoor Environmental Supportiveness and Older People's Quality of Life: A Personal Projects Approach

ABSTRACT We present an approach to exploring the role of environmental supportiveness in contributing to older people's quality of life (QoL), based on Little's ecological model (2010) in which individual and situational factors influence the personal projects of salience to individuals. Personal projects are self-generated and purpose-oriented activities or goals in which an individual is engaged (Little, 1983). The efficacy with which the pursuit of these activities is achieved depends on the nature of the project and the degree to which it is supported by external factors such as the environment. We explore the relationship between the outdoor environment and QoL, drawing on the concept of “environmental support” as presented by Sugiyama and Ward Thompson (2007a). There is a positive relationship between the number of outdoor personal projects older people participated in and measures indicative of their QoL. The relationship between perceived environmental support and QoL measures was significant in projects involving nature but not for other project types.

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
