This article presents findings from the Housing and Ageing programme conducted in 2018 that investigated how the housing sector can effectively plan for an ageing population. The project took a transdisciplinary approach to focus on new, critical insights into the process of decision making concerning housing and ageing across Scotland, England and Wales. A ‘Serious Game’ methodology was developed that explored over 200 policy maker, practitioner and service user perspectives. This was used as a framework to capture priorities, decisions, negotiations and processes that indicate how a ‘sense of place’ and ‘place belonging’ can influence the development of suitable housing for older people. Key housing provision challenges identified were tackling inequality, preserving autonomy, in(ter)dependence, empowerment and accessibility. Such challenges need consideration when strategically planning for the future. The findings recommend placing housing at the heart of service integration to support the co-production of decisions that emphasise the importance of working together across boundaries within social policy, service and stakeholder groups. A place-based approach can support the perception that we are all stakeholders in ageing.

房屋和老龄化：让我们认真一点-“如何在解决即时混乱的同时为未来做计划？”

本文介绍了2018年住房和老龄化计划的调查结果，该调查研究了住房部门如何有效规划老龄化人口。该项目采用跨学科方法，重点关注有关苏格兰，英格兰和威尔士的住房和老龄化决策过程的新的重要见解。开发了一种“严肃游戏”方法，探讨了200多个决策者，从业者和服务用户的观点。它被用作捕捉优先事项，决策，谈判和过程的框架，这些过程表明“位置感”和“位置归属”如何影响老年人的合适住房的发展。确定的主要住房供应挑战是解决不平等，维护自治，相互依存，授权和可及性。在为未来进行战略规划时，需要考虑这些挑战。调查结果建议将住房作为服务整合的核心，以支持共同制定决策，这些决策强调了在社会政策，服务和利益相关者群体内跨界合作的重要性。基于位置的方法可以支持我们都是老龄化的利益相关者的看法。
