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研究联盟的一个持续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具有敏感性，以提高他们的生活质量。在注重老年人不断变化的需求时，联合会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和照顾他们的人。I 'DGO TOO下的拟议研究结合了五个学术机构的三个研究中心和学术同事的技能和经验。它汇集了来自不同组织，机构和团体的一系列合作者的专业知识，从ODPM到年龄关注，他们热衷于使用研究结果并从中受益，I 'DGO TOO专注于政府目前正在推动的特定政策和战略，作为可持续发展议程/城市复兴的一部分，综合社区和包容性环境/对老年人生活的潜在重要和实际影响尚未得到充分探讨和检验。它调查了在某些类型的发展中，根据这些政策建立的户外环境如何有助于老年人的健康和福祉。它通过三个不同层次的详细研究来做到这一点。它探讨了密集的城市生活对住房开放空间的影响，街道环境中对居民友好的方法（如家庭区）以及在城市环境中使用触觉铺路的实际后果。一系列的创新方法，其中一些已经在早期的研究开发的财团，将被用来详细研究如何设计，以及老年人的设计环境的看法，有所作为。老年人自己的声音是这项研究的一个关键因素。I 'DGO TOO认识到65岁以上人口所包含的能力、残疾、愿望、期望和需求的巨大多样性和范围。从一开始，老年人就将参与表达对他们重要的东西，并参与制定方案。所使用的方法将老年人和残疾人视为共同研究者，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，以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：如何在更高密度的“城市复兴”住宅中提供住宅室外空间，以优化老年居民的生活质量;在人口老龄化的背景下，家庭地带是否提供了一个良好的设计解决方案，以及设计、选址、铺设和使用触觉铺路对老年人的影响。研究结果的影响对政策制定者很重要，规划师、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。研究合作者将帮助确保产出对这项工作重要的一系列人和团体有用和可用。指南将以各种格式和媒体出版，包括有吸引力和可获取的印刷小册子以及网络出版物，以满足不同专家、学术界、专业和非专业受众的需要。
