Abstract: Challenges related to population ageing and urbanization have become major topics in society over the last two generations. With the emergence of the concept of sustainability, cities are required to develop age‐friendly environments and improve the quality of urban life. This study aims to expand the currently loosely defined concept of the healthy ageing society and the framework provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). Access by elderly people to public transport is crucial for them to develop and maintain their functional abilities in society and in creating sustainable urban development. This research addresses the topic of spatial accessibility for elderly people, helping to quantify and analyse their needs and expectations within a Healthy Ageing context. As policy making is shaped significantly by the use of indicators, the investigation and discussion of indicators are important tools to facilitate policy developments and adjustments Keywords: healthy ageing, spatial accessibility, geographic information system (gis), indicator studies, policy development Published Online: 2022/12/21 10:59:26 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003de7d1 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
“GI_Forum” publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists, and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain. “GI_Forum” implements the policy of open access publication (CC-BY-ND-License) after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of established scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions.
