“就地养老”的能力取决于一系列人际、社会和建筑环境属性，后者是潜在干预的关键领域。有一个新的证据表明，建筑环境的特点，可能最好的支持老年友好型社区的类型，但有必要扩大和巩固这一点，同时产生一个更好的了解如何研究结果可以最有效地转化为政策和实践。这项研究是基于两个案例研究城市，库尔提巴（巴西）和贝尔法斯特（英国），这两个城市具有高度对比的物理，社会和政策环境。这项研究部署了一种混合方法，反映在每个城市。这包括在每个城市招募300名参与者，让他们佩戴GPS和加速度计，通过NEWS-A进行一项调查，了解他们的身体机能和其他个人属性，以及他们对当地环境的看法。这项研究还将利用地理信息系统测量城市的建筑环境，并开发一种工具，用于审计参与者在其社区周围使用的路线。本研究旨在通过访谈、焦点小组和话语分析，比较两个城市参与健康老龄化的政策参与者和资源。最后，这项研究有一个重要的知识交流组成部分，包括开发一个工具，以评估研究人员和研究用户的能力，以最大限度地发挥研究成果的影响。这项研究是由一个多学科小组设计和实施的，并整合了不同的方法，有目的地影响高收入和低收入国家的健康老龄化政策和实践。它具有特殊的优势，它结合了客观和自我报告的措施，使用有效的工具和全球定位系统，加速计和地理信息系统数据的整合，以提供一个强大的评估'空间能量'。强大的知识交流链意味着这项研究预计也将有助于我们了解如何最大限度地提高这一领域的研究影响，并为将老年人的身体活动与社会，建筑和政策环境联系起来创造有效的证据。
The ability to ‘age in place’ is dependent on a range of inter-personal, social and built environment attributes, with the latter being a key area for potential intervention. There is an emerging body of evidence that indicates the type of built environment features that may best support age friendly communities, but there is a need to expand and consolidate this, while generating a better understanding of how on how research findings can be most effectively be translated in to policy and practice. The study is based on two case study cities, Curtiba (Brazil) and Belfast (UK), which have highly contrasting physical, social and policy environments. The study deploys a mix methods approach, mirrored in each city. This includes the recruitment of 300 participants in each city to wear GPS and accelerometers, a survey capturing physical functioning and other personal attributes, as well as their perception of their local environment using NEWS-A. The study will also measure the built environments of the cities using GIS and develop a tool for auditing the routes used by participants around their neighbourhoods. The study seeks to comparatively map the policy actors and resources involved in healthy ageing in the two cities through interviews, focus groups and discourse analysis. Finally, the study has a significant knowledge exchange component, including the development of a tool to assess the capacities of both researchers and research users to maximise the impact of the research findings. The HULAP study has been designed and implemented by a multi-disciplinary team and integrates differing methodologies to purposefully impact on policy and practice on healthy ageing in high and low-middle income countries. It has particular strengths in its combination of objective and self-reported measures using validated tools and the integration of GPS, accelerometer and GIS data to provide a robust assessment of ‘spatial energetics’. The strong knowledge exchange strand means that the study is expected to also contribute to our understanding of how to maximise research impact in this field and create effective evidence for linking older adult’s physical activity with the social, built and policy environments.
