Tempo e spazio incidono in modo determinante sull’autosufficienza e sui bisogni di cura delle persone. Negli ultimi anni, numerosi paesi hanno adottato la strate- gia dell’ageing in place, la quale richiede però contesti abitativi e sistemi di cura adeguati. Questo saggio esamina i condizionamenti dell’ambiente costruito sulla vita degli anziani fragili che invecchiano soli a casa propria. Dopo una breve ras- segna del dibattito, vengono presentati i principali risultati della ricerca IN-AGE in tre regioni d’Italia, per concludere con alcune indicazioni di policy.

Abstract
Time and space significantly affect the autonomy and the care needs of people. In recent years, many countries have adopted an ageing in place strategy, which requires, however, an age-friendly built environment and a dedicated care system. This paper addresses the conditioning role of the built environment on the life of frail older people ageing alone at home. After a brief review of the debate, find- ings from the IN-AGE research carried out in three regions of Italy are presented, to conclude with some policy suggestions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
