当前关于人口变化的争论通常围绕老年人（65 岁以上）、他们的住房偏好以及他们的空间流动性。我们的研究询问了 50 岁至 60 岁之间的未来退休人员，他们是否打算保留目前的住所，或者是否考虑在退休后搬到其他地方。该研究采用了混合方法，将定性和定量方法相结合。该研究在具有不同空间结构特征的九个德国城市进行。这项研究对当前的研究做出了贡献，因为对潜在搬家者、搬家者和非搬家者的前瞻性视角以及计划和不计划搬家的原因进行了密切关注。对大量数据（140份定性访谈和5500份问卷）的分析表明，居民对当前住房状况的满意度极高。结果反映了人们对居住地和周边社区的高度依恋。部分较高的住房拥有率使我们有理由预计未来老年人的住房保有率将持续保持在较高水平。少数潜在流动人口打算在该地区内搬家，或者更频繁地使用第二居所，以便他们未来可能在多个地点居住。因此，“就地养老”成为德国未来老年人的主要偏好。
The current debate on demographic change often revolves around seniors (over 65 years old), their housing preferences, and their spatial mobility. Our study asked future retirees between age 50 and 60 whether they intend to keep their current residence or whether they are considering moving to some other place upon retirement. The study applied a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. It was conducted in nine German cities with different spatial structural characteristics. This research contributes to current research as the prospective perspective of potential movers, movers, and non-movers pays close attention as well as the reasons for planning and not planning to move. The analysis of the vast amount of data (140 qualitative interviews and 5500 questionnaires) shows extraordinarily high satisfaction with residents' current housing situation. The results reflect a high attachment with the place of residence and the surrounding neighborhood. The partly high rates of home ownership give reason to expect continuously high levels of remaining in place among future senior citizens. The few potentially mobile ones intend to either move within the region or use their second residences more frequently so that they are likely to live in multiple locations in the future "Aging in place" therefore proves to be the main preference among future seniors in Germany.
