身体上的不流动可能是社会和空间排斥的一种手段。对19名65-96岁的居家老人进行的关于他们与一系列公共和私营服务提供者互动的定性访谈表明，流动性的概念并不取决于移动的身体能力，而是集中在人们能够作为社会技术网络的一部分与他人联系并使事物在家中和家中流动的方式上。在强调三个主题（走出去，让在和找到一种方法），我们认为，以家庭为基础的老年人不是不活跃或im移动的，而是他们的移动的做法的中心连接，而不是correct旅行。因此，将移动性视为“连接”的关系观“比人类的”更重要“，使我们能够理解不同的移动的的问题和可能性，以及其实际意义。
Physical immobility can be a means of social and spatial exclusion. Qualitative interviews with 19 home-based elders aged 65-96 about their interactions with a range of public and private service providers show that concepts of mobility are not dependent on the physical ability to move, but centre on the ways in which people are able to, as part of socio-technical networks, connect with others and make things flow both within and across the boundaries of home. In highlighting three themes (getting out, letting in and finding a way) we suggest that home-based elders are not inactive or immobile, rather their mobile practices centre on connection rather than corporeal travel. A relational view of mobility as ‘connection’ which is ‘more than human’ consequently enables us to understand the problems and possibilities of being differently mobile and the practical implications of this.
