本文基于苏格兰格拉斯哥地区三个城市社区老年人自身的视角，探讨了当地户外物理环境对老年人健康的支持或挑战。提出了五个维度：清洁；安宁；运动促进；社交促进；以及情绪提升。还考虑到了潜在的平等问题，认为当地环境的这些方面可能会对老年人造成不成比例的影响，而且有关的环境质量也因地而异。通过跨部门的规划和设计考虑，可以实现更大的公平和改善老年人的福祉。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Based on the perspectives of older people themselves in three urban neighbourhoods in the Glasgow region of Scotland, this article explores the ways in which the local outdoor physical environment may support or challenge older people's health. Five dimensions are proposed: cleanliness; peacefulness; exercise facilitation; social interaction facilitation; and emotional boost. Consideration is also given to potential equality issues, arguing that such aspects of the local environment may disproportionately affect older people, and also that relevant environmental qualities vary between places. Greater equity and the improved well-being of older people may be achieved through planning and design consideration across sectors. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
