Pathways linking the built environment and loneliness
It is increasingly recognised that the built environment influences the experience of loneliness, but the pathways linking them built environment and loneliness are not sufficiently understood. Addressing this gap is crucial for developing inclusive policies and guiding the planning and design of built environment interventions aimed at reducing loneliness. This scoping review and conceptual synthesis aimed to advance understanding of these pathw…
The relation between physical and social neighbourhood characteristics and loneliness. A systematic review
Life stories from lonely older adults
Previous research has highlighted the importance of past life experiences in the theoretical and conceptual understanding of loneliness. However, adding a lifecourse perspective to loneliness research remains underexplored. To comprehend the complexity of loneliness in old age, it is crucial to pay attention to the lifecourse perspective. This study addresses an important lifecourse perspective on loneliness through an in-depth, narrative approac…
Towards a comprehensive understanding of Integrated Community Care (ICC)
Introduction: Health and functional decline in older people greatly affects their need for care and support. Governments, when confronted with ageing populations, therefore use the policy perspective of ‘ageing in place’, which supports social and health care in the personal environment of people. Recent studies also accentuate the influence of the location in which people live on their health and social care needs. One possible way to implement …
Exploration of the potentially effective elements within the policy concept of caring neighbourhoods in addressing and preventing loneliness
Loneliness does not only occur later in life; children, adolescents and adults can also experience loneliness during their lifetime. Loneliness leads to a variety of short- and long-term negative health effects. Given those negative effects, there has been an increased demand to introduce interventions that reduce loneliness. Furthermore, recently different scholars make a plea from loneliness reduction to loneliness prevention. Today, one of the…
Caring neighbourhood and loneliness
Background: Loneliness is recognized as an important societal challenge, with high policy attention the last years. In Flanders an important policy objective is to counteract loneliness by investing in so-called caring neighbourhoods. Although some research indicates that physical and social neighbourhood characteristics (e.g. public parks, public transportation) affect loneliness, little is known in this respect. Aim: The goal of this workshop i…
The intermediate effect of geographic proximity on intergenerational support
The geographic proximity of parents and adult children is a key element of intergenerational solidarity. Many studies have identified geographical distance as an important determinant of intergenerational support: living nearby increases the amount of mutu
The older, the lonelier? Risk factors for social loneliness in old age
Loneliness is often associated with old age, but many studies have shown that the relationship is not straightforward. This paper seeks a better understanding of the impact of social isolation on feelings of loneliness among older people, by building on the theoretical and actual distinction between social and emotional loneliness. Social loneliness refers to a lack of feelings of social integration; emotional loneliness emerges in the absence of…
