人们晚年生活的环境对他们的身份和滋养社会互动的机会有着强烈的影响。这本书综合了当代关于提高幸福感的居住环境和公共空间的研究，并为包括私人和公共空间在内的有益社区环境的设计提供了实用建议。在北美，欧洲和亚洲的研究人员的贡献下，通过将环境老年学研究的扩展体转化为应用环境，文本连接了研究和实践的世界。它建立在当前关于地方依恋、环境意义和社区生活的研究的概念和理论基础之上。重点是如何设计住宅空间，促进地方感或家的发展，并调查这种空间培养和支持的生活方式。贯穿文本的一个主要主题是私人和公共空间的并置。该书还考虑了新兴的公共政策议程如何影响老年人环境的发展和管理。环境老年学具有很强的跨学科重点，将吸引环境老年学、社区规划、职业治疗、建筑和设计专业、社会政策和公共卫生等领域的高年级本科生和研究生、研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者。
The environments in which people live out their later lives have a strong impact on their identity and opportunities for nourishing social interactions. This volume synthesizes contemporary research on residential environments and public spaces that enhance well being, and provides practical recommendations for the design of such beneficial community environments that encompass private and public spaces. With contributions from researchers in North America, Europe, and Asia, the text bridges the worlds of research and practice by translating the expanding body of environmental gerontology research into applied contexts. It is grounded in conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of current research on place attachment, environmental meaning, and community living in later life. Emphasis is on how to design residential spaces that facilitate the development of a sense of place or home, and investigation into the kinds of lifestyles such spaces foster and support. A major theme pervading the text is the juxtaposition of private and public space. The book also considers how emerging public policy agendas affect the development and management of environments for the elderly. With its strong interdisciplinary focus, Environmental Gerontology will be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers in environmental gerontology, community planning, occupational therapy, architecture and the design professions, social policy, and public health.
