The I'DGO research consortium has a continuing overall aim to identify the most effective ways of ensuring that the outdoor environment is designed inclusively and with sensitivity to the needs and desires of older people, to improve their quality of life. In focusing on the changing needs of older people, the consortium will address issues that are relevant to a much wider range of people in society as a whole, including disabled people, frail or vulnerable people and those who care for them. The proposed research under I'DGO TOO combines the skills and experience of three research centres and academic colleagues across five academic institutions. It brings this expertise together with that of a range of collaborators from different organisations, agencies and groups, ranging from ODPM to Age Concern, who are keen to use the findings of the research and benefit from it,I'DGO TOO focuses on particular policies and strategies that are currently being promoted by government as part of the sustainability agenda / urban renaissance, integrated communities and inclusive environments / where the potentially important, practical implications for older people's lives have not fully been explored and tested. It investigates how well outdoor environments in certain types of development, built in line with these policies, contribute to older people's health and wellbeing. It does so through research at three different levels of detail. It explores the implications of denser urban living on open space in housing, pedestrian-friendly approaches (such as Home Zones) in street environments and the practical consequences of using tactile paving in the urban environment. A range of innovative methods, some of which have been developed in earlier research by the consortium, will be used to examine in detail how design, and older people's perceptions of the designed environment, make a difference. The voices of older people themselves are a key element in this research. I'DGO TOO recognises the great diversity and range of abilities, disabilities, aspirations, expectations and needs that are encompassed in the population of people over 65 years of age. From the beginning, older people will be involved in expressing what is important to them and in shaping the development of the programme. The approaches used treat older people and disabled people as co-researchers, rather than 'subjects', and the range of techniques place these people at the heart of the investigation. A number of different methods is used to ensure that diverse perspectives and evidence is collected to throw light on the questions and objectives of the research. The main issues to be addressed are: how residential outdoor space in higher-density 'urban renaissance' housing can best be delivered to optimise older residents' quality of life; whether Home Zones provide a good design solution in the context of an ageing population, and the implications of the design, siting, laying and use of tactile paving for older people.The implications of the findings will be important for policy-makers, planners, designers and other professionals working in the urban environment, as well as users of that environment. The research collaborators will help ensure that the outputs are useful and useable for the range of people and groups for whom this work is important. Guidance will be published in a range of formats and media, including attractive and accessible printed booklets as well as web-based publications targeted to suit the needs of different expert, academic, professional and lay audiences.

I’dgo研究联盟的总体目标是确定最有效的方法，确保户外环境的设计具有包容性，并对老年人的需求和愿望敏感，以提高他们的生活质量。在关注老年人不断变化的需求时，该联盟将处理与整个社会中更广泛的人有关的问题，包括残疾人、体弱或易受伤害的人以及照顾他们的人。在I'DGO TOO下拟议的研究结合了三个研究中心和五个学术机构的学术同事的技能和经验。它将这些专业知识与来自不同组织、机构和团体的一系列合作者的专业知识结合在一起，从ODPM到老年关怀，他们热衷于使用研究结果并从中受益。I'DGO也关注目前由政府推动的特定政策和战略，作为可持续性议程/城市复兴、综合社区和包容性环境的一部分/其中潜在的重要，对老年人生活的实际影响尚未得到充分探索和检验。它调查了在符合这些政策的某些类型的开发中，户外环境对老年人的健康和福祉的贡献。它通过三个不同层次的细节研究来做到这一点。它探讨了密集的城市生活对住房开放空间的影响，街道环境中行人友好的方法（如家庭区），以及在城市环境中使用触觉铺装的实际后果。一系列创新方法，其中一些是由该协会在早期研究中开发的，将用于详细研究设计和老年人对设计环境的看法如何产生影响。老年人自己的声音是这项研究的一个关键因素。我们也认识到，65岁以上的人群在能力、残疾、愿望、期望和需求方面存在着巨大的多样性和范围。从一开始，老年人就会参与表达对他们来说重要的事情，并参与节目的发展。使用的方法将老年人和残疾人视为共同研究人员，而不是“受试者”，并且技术范围将这些人置于调查的核心。使用了许多不同的方法来确保收集不同的观点和证据，以阐明研究的问题和目标。要解决的主要问题是：如何在高密度的“城市复兴”住宅中最好地提供住宅户外空间，以优化老年居民的生活质量；在人口老龄化的背景下，家居地带是否提供了一个良好的设计方案，以及设计、选址、铺设和使用触觉铺装对长者的影响。研究结果对决策者、规划人员、设计师和在城市环境中工作的其他专业人员以及城市环境的使用者具有重要意义。研究合作者将帮助确保产出对这项工作很重要的一系列人和群体是有用和可用的。指南将以各种形式和媒介出版，包括有吸引力和易于获取的印刷小册子以及针对不同专家、学术、专业和非专业读者的需要的网络出版物。
