ABSTRACT

Place-based identity and person-place fit are called into question during a pandemic, such as COVID-19, when older adults’ relationship to place may be in flux. Both academic and gray literature detail drastic changes in the way many aspects of place will be affected by a pandemic. While the dominant discourse focuses on medical and health changes, this brief report uses the Person-Place Fit Measure for Older Adults (PPFM-OA) and its broader, five subscale place domains (Primary or Basic Needs/Necessities; Neighborhood Changes and Moving; Identity and Place Attachment; Community Value; and Services and Resources) as a way to assess the pandemic’s impact on the daily lives of older adults from their own points of view.

摘要

在大流行期间（例如 COVID-19），当老年人与地点的关系可能会发生变化时，基于地点的身份和人与地点的契合度会受到质疑。学术和灰色文献都详细描述了地方许多方面将受到大流行影响的方式的巨大变化。虽然主流话语侧重于医疗和健康变化，但这份简短的报告使用了老年人的人与地契合度 (PPFM-OA) 及其更广泛的五个子尺度地方域（主要或基本需求/必需品；邻里变化和移动；身份和地方依恋；社区价值；以及服务和资源）作为从老年人自己的角度评估大流行对老年人日常生活影响的一种方式。
