Aging in place policies have been adopted internationally as a response to population aging. The approach historically referred to the goal of helping people to remain in their own homes so that they can retain connections with friends and family in their community. However, the places in which people grow old are often hostile and challenging, presenting potential barriers to the policy ideal of aging in place. This may be especially the case in cities characterized by rapid population turnover and redevelopment of buildings through urban regeneration. Yet, to date, there has been limited research focusing on the places of aging, and how these affect the experience of aging in place over time. This paper addresses this gap by presenting four in-depth case-studies from a qualitative longitudinal study of older people living in neighborhoods characterized by high levels of deprivation and rapid population change. The analysis illustrates how aging in place is affected by changing life-course circumstances and the dynamics of these neighborhoods over time. The conclusion suggests that further attention must be given to the changing dynamics of the places where people grow older. It also makes policy suggestions for how aging in place could be supported, taking account of the needs of people as they grow older as well as changes in the communities in which they live. The paper extends theoretical understanding of the interrelationship between aging in place and the places of aging, revealing how these processes change over time.

就地老龄化和老龄化地点:一项纵向研究



为了应对人口老龄化,国际上纷纷采取就地老龄化政策。该方法历史上提到的目标是帮助人们留在自己的家中,以便他们能够与社区中的朋友和家人保持联系。然而,人们养老的地方往往充满敌意和挑战,这给就地养老的政策理想带来了潜在的障碍。在人口流动迅速和通过城市复兴进行建筑物重建的城市中尤其如此。然而,迄今为止,针对衰老地点以及这些地点如何随着时间的推移影响衰老体验的研究还很有限。本文通过对居住在贫困程度高和人口快速变化的社区的老年人进行定性纵向研究,提出了四个深入的案例研究来解决这一差距。该分析说明了就地老龄化如何受到不断变化的生命历程环境以及这些社区随时间的动态的影响。结论表明,必须进一步关注人们老龄化地区的动态变化。它还考虑到人们随着年龄增长的需求以及他们所居住社区的变化,就如何支持就地老龄化提出政策建议。该论文扩展了对就地老龄化和老龄化地点之间相互关系的理论理解,揭示了这些过程如何随时间变化。
