These are tenants not guinea pigs: Barriers and facilitators of retrofit in Wales, United Kingdom
Retrofitting existing homes with new energy efficient technologies is essential to reduce emissions and move towards achieving a ‘net zero’ carbon emission target. This paper reports on research that investigated the process of retrofitting new technologies in existing social rented homes in Wales, United Kingdom. It used mixed-methods consisting of pre- and post-retrofit surveys, qualitative interviews with tenants, and a documentary analysis of…
Associations between biopsychosocial factors and transportation patterns of older adults residing in Klang Valley, Malaysia
Introduction Aging is associated with physiological changes in multiple systems in the body and may impact the transportation choices of older adults. In this study, we examine the associations between biopsychosocial factors and the transportation choices of Malaysian older adults. Methods One hundred and nineteen (119) older adults, aged 60 and above, living in Klang Valley, Malaysia were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Participants w…
Rekindling couplehood’ using a multisensory suitcase of memories: A pilot study of people living with moderate dementia and their partners
Creating individualised activities in partnership with people who have moderate dementia and their partners at home has rarely been achieved, as such interventions are usually pre-planned by researchers or professionals. The academic gap is in the activity design being led by the person who has dementia and their partner and how to engage them in a meaningful manner which rekindles positive joint memories and improves the quality of their current…
Intergenerational Effects on the Impacts of Technology Use in Later Life: Insights from an International, Multi-Site Study
As the use of technology becomes further integrated into the daily lives of all persons, including older adults, it is important to investigate how the perceptions and use of technology intersect with intergenerational relationships. Based on the international multi-centered study Technology In Later Life (TILL), this paper emphasizes the perceptions of older adults and the interconnection between technology and intergenerational relationships ar…
Developing A Model of Mobility Capital for An Ageing Population
Driving a car meets older people's needs, providing utility (getting from A to B), psychosocial (providing identity and roles and feelings of independence and normality) and aesthetic (mobility for its own sake) mobilities. Giving up driving is related to poorer health and wellbeing. This paper addresses how older people cope when they give up driving, using Bourdieu's theory of capital as a way of categorising different barriers and enablers to …
Beyond transport: Understanding the Role of Mobilities in Connecting Rural Elders in Civic Society
Older People’s External Residential Assessment Tool (Operat): A complementary participatory and metric approach to the development of an observational environmental measure
Participatory approaches to research and robust statistical testing are not mutually exclusive. OPERAT can be used to assess the suitability of external residential environments for older people with different physical and cognitive capacities, living in rural or urban areas. OPERAT can be used to help plan residential environments that are friendly for all ages
From Needy and Dependent to Independent Homo Ludens: Exploring Digital Gaming and Older People
We began assembling this special issue because the use of digital computers for gaming (digital gaming) in later life has been rather underresearched, yet we know of a growing body of interested parties across the world starting to look into it and needed a place to bring it together. For this introduction to the articles on offer, we wanted to explore first why such a topic is so underresearched. We live in an aging society and in many nations a…
Countryside Connections: Older People, Community and Place in Rural Britain
Exploring changes to cycle infrastructure to improve the experience of cycling for families
Mobility, accessibility and quality of later life
Older people are more active and fit than previous generations. Hence, they are more mobile than ever. However, they continue to suffer a reduction in quality of life when giving-up driving. This paper reports research carried out to identify the role of mobility and accessibility in older people’s self-reported quality of life, through an in-depth examination of older people’s travel needs. A wholly qualitative approach, utilising a variety of d…
