New Spatial Organizations as a Social Integration Model: Contemporary Elderly Living Centers

Year 2023, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 185 - 206, 06.10.2023

Abstract

The mortality rates at early ages decreased as diagnosis-treatment methods progressed and living conditions improved due to technological advancements. However, the population of elderly people has notably increased. The passive life of the increasing elderly population in contemporary societies is acknowledged as a social problem. Hence, coexistence models that support active aging and alternative nursing homes are indicated to solve this problem. This study included the modern elderly living centers developed for elderly people to maintain their active lives. It aimed to evaluate contemporary elderly living centers, which are proposed as a social integration model for sociopolitical development, at the socioarchitecture interface. It focuses on the situation analysis of a new practice in contemporary elderly living centers and thus preferred the descriptive method, which is one of the quantitative research types. This study followed the design of the scanning model and collected research data based on active aging index, which is a composite index for comparing the progress toward aging in European Union countries since 2012. The study sample included “contemporary elderly living centers,” defined as “independent living spaces” in above-average countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, and the United Kingdom. The general evaluation indicated that modern-age living centers in these countries can be accepted as a new social integration model for social integration as well as independent living spaces for the elderly.

Toplumsal Bütünleşme Modeli Olarak Yeni Mekânsal Örgütlenmeler: Çağdaş Yaşlı Yaşam Merkezleri

Abstract

Gelişen teknolojiye bağlı olarak teşhis-tedavi yöntemlerinin ilerlemesi ve yaşam şartlarının iyileşmesi erken yaşlarda ölüm oranlarını azaltmıştır. Bununla birlikte ileri yaştaki bireylerin nüfusunda artış olmuştur. Çağdaş toplumlarda artan yaşlı nüfusunun pasif yaşantısı toplumsal bir sorun olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu soruna çözüm olarak aktif yaşlanmayı destekleyen ve huzurevlerinin alternatifi olan birlikte yaşantı modelleri önerilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın konusu, yaşlıların aktif yaşantılarını sürdürmeleri amacıyla geliştirilen çağdaş yaşlı yaşam merkezleridir. Araştırmanın amacı, sosyopolitik kalkınma için bir toplumsal bütünleşme modeli olarak önerilen çağdaş yaşlı yaşam merkezlerinin sosyoloji-mimarlık ara kesitinde bir değerlendirmesini yapmaktır. Araştırmada, çağdaş yaşlı yaşam merkezleri özelinde yeni bir uygulamanın durum analizine odaklanıldığı için nicel araştırma türlerinden betimleme yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışma tarama modeline uygun olarak desenlenmiştir. Araştırma verileri 2012 yılından itibaren Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde yaşlanmaya yönelik ilerlemeyi karşılaştırmayı amaçlayan bileşik endeks olan Aktif Yaşlanma Endeksi temel alınarak toplanmıştır. Danimarka, İsveç, Hollanda, Finlandiya ve Birleşik Krallık gibi ortalamanın üzerindeki ülkelerdeki “bağımsız yaşam alanları” olarak tanımlanan “Çağdaş Yaşlı Yaşam Merkezleri” araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Genel değerlendirmede bu ülkelerdeki modern çağ yaşam merkezlerinin yaşlılar için bağımsız yaşam alanları olmasının yanı sıra toplumsal bütünleşme için yeni bir toplumsal bütünleşme modeli olarak kabul edilebileceği anlaşılmıştır.
