Understanding Older Adults’ And Caretakers’ Attitudes Toward Social Robots Using Natural Language Processing and Thematic Analysis
The present study aims to examine the role of social robots in enriching older adults’ environments and helping them cope with the problems that decrease their well-being and life quality.

For this aim, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 participants. In these interviews, we sh…
Nature-based engagement, ageing in place, and the well-being of community-dwelling older adults living with dementia
There has been an increase in research that explores the everyday well-being of community-dwelling older people living with dementia – including insights into everyday routines, local neighbourhood interactions, connections to nature, and participation in community programmes – and how these contribute to ‘ageing in place’ narratives. Informed by past literature and following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this comprehensive scoping review collated liter…
Impacts of urban living lab (ULL) on learning to design inclusive, sustainable, and climate-resilient urban environments

Thus, this study aimed to answer the following research questions: (a) How do biophilic characteristics of home environments correlate wi…
