Ageing populations in Brazil and the UK have generated new challenges in how to best design living environments that support and promote everyday social engagement for older people. The ageing-in-place agenda posits that the preferred environment to age is the community, enabling older people to retain a sense of independence, safety and belonging. Encouraging older adults to remain in their communities has contributed to planning and design concepts such as Age-Friendly Cities and Communities, Lifelong Homes and Liveable Neighbourhoods. However, current urban planning and development models have overlooked the notion of sense of place, articulated through supports for active living, social participation and meaningful involvement in the community. Integrating sense of place into the built environment is essential for supporting active ageing, ensuring that older adults can continue to make a positive contribution in their communities and potentially reducing health and social care costs. This project has three core aims: (i) to investigate how sense of place is experienced by older people from different social settings living in diverse neighbourhoods in Brazil and the UK; (ii) to translate these experiences into designs for age friendly communities that support sense of place; and (iii) to better articulate the role of older adults as active placemakers in the design process by involving the community at all stages of the research.We will undertake fieldwork in a total of 18 neighbourhoods (of varying densities and income levels) across 6 case study cities in Brazil (Pelotas, Porto Alegre, and Brasilia) and the UK (Edinburgh, Manchester and Glasgow). We will use a range of methods to achieve the project aims, including sense of place surveys and semi-structured interviews alongside experiential methods including 'go along' walks, photo and video diaries and community mapping exercises to capture the place-based needs of older adults. The new data generated will answer the following research questions: (i) How is sense of place experienced by older adults from different social classes living in diverse neighbourhoods in Brazil and the UK? (ii) What services, amenities and features are needed to create age friendly communities that promote healthy cities and active ageing in different urban and cultural contexts? (iii) How can communities be designed to better integrate the sense of place needs of older adults across different urban and cultural contexts? A community-based participatory approach will be adopted to the research, bringing together all stakeholders in a process of collaborative dialogue and co-design to challenge the hierarchical power relationships that exist when planning 'for' and not 'with' older people. The results will be used to co-create place-making tools and resources which are essential for designing age friendly environments for older adults. Findings will be disseminated to community, policymaker, practitioner and academic audiences through ongoing and end of project knowledge translation activities.

在巴西和英国的人口老龄化已经在如何最好地设计生活环境方面提出了新的挑战，这些生活环境支持和促进老年人的日常社交参与。在现场议程中，人们认为，与年龄相比的首选环境是社区，使老年人能够保持独立，安全和归属感。鼓励老年人留在社区中，为计划和设计概念做出了贡献，例如年龄友好的城市和社区，终身房屋和宜居社区。但是，当前的城市规划和发展模式忽略了地位感的概念，这些概念通过支持积极的生活，社会参与和有意义的社区参与来阐明。将地位感纳入建筑环境对于支持积极的衰老至关重要，确保老年人可以继续为社区做出积极的贡献，并可能降低健康和社会护理成本。该项目具有三个核心目的：（i）研究来自巴西和英国各种社区的不同社会环境的老年人如何经历地位感； （ii）将这些经验转化为支持地位感的年龄友好社区的设计； （iii）通过在研究的各个阶段让社区参与社区，可以更好地阐明老年人作为活跃的放置者的作用。我们将在巴西（Pelotas，Pelotas，Porto Alegre，Bregasilia，Bregasilia）和UKINBER（EDINE）和GLAS（EDINBEN）和GLAS（enchester and anchester and an Chare）中，在6个案例研究城市中共有18个社区（具有不同的密度和收入水平）的现场工作。我们将使用一系列方法来实现该项目的目的，包括地点调查和半结构化访谈以及体验式方法，包括“沿着”步行，照片和视频日记，以及社区地图练习，以捕捉老年人的基于地点的需求。产生的新数据将回答以下研究问题：（i）来自巴西和英国各种社区的不同社会阶层的老年人的经历如何？ （ii）需要哪些服务，便利设施和特征来创建在不同的城市和文化背景下促进健康城市和积极衰老的年龄友好社区？ （iii）如何设计社区来更好地整合不同城市和文化背景下的老年人的地点需求？研究将采用以社区为基础的参与性方法，将所有利益相关者汇总在协作对话的过程中，并共同设计，以挑战在计划“为”而不是与“老年人”计划时存在的层次结构关系。结果将用于共同创建场所制造工具和资源，这些工具和资源对于为老年人设计年龄友好的环境至关重要。发现将通过持续和结束的项目知识翻译活动传播给社区，决策者，从业者和学术观众。
