Geography is one of the many disciplines actively
involved in studies conducted in the developing world. The role of geographical
research in social gerontology was first described when the studies conducted
in early 1970's showed that elders presented themselves in a certain
environment in relation to the aging process, that they experienced and used
those environment and thus understanding that the aging process of the
environment was affected by it, because the synthesizing and holistic tradition
of geography represents an effective methodology to evaluate the complex
interaction between elders and their environment. A new discipline, called
geographical gerontology, positioned at an intersection between geography and
gerontology, has been developing structurally in institutions of the western
world and intellectually, both in the academic debates of disciplines and in
key empirical research areas. This study aims to grab attention of human
geographers by handling the aging population issue that has taken its place in
political and academic agenda of Turkey in last decades from the geography of
aging perspective and to introduce a newly emerging and rapidly developing
discipline and point to its main research areas in this context.

Yaşlanmanın Coğrafyaları: Coğrafi Gerontolojide İlerleme, Tartışmalar ve Araştırma Gündemi

Öz

Coğrafya,
gelişmiş dünyada yürütülen gerontolojik çalışmalarda aktif olarak yer alan çok
sayıda disiplinden biridir. Coğrafi araştırmaların sosyal gerontoloji içindeki
rolü, 1970'lerin başlarında, yapılan çalışmaların yaşlı insanların, yaşlanma
süreciyle bağlantılı olarak belirli çevrelerde bulunduklarını, buraları
deneyimlediklerini ve kullandıklarını göstermesiyle, dolayısıyla da çevrenin
yaşlanma sürecini etkilediğinin anlaşılmasıyla birlikte tanımlanmıştır. Zira
coğrafyanın sentezleyici ve bütüncül geleneği, yaşlılar ile çevreleri
arasındaki karmaşık etkileşimi değerlendirmek için etkili bir metodoloji
sunmuştur. Coğrafya ile gerontoloji arasındaki bir kesişimde konumlanan ve
coğrafi gerontoloji diye isimlendirilen yeni bir disiplin, Batı dünyasında
yapısal olarak kurumlarda; düşünsel olarak hem disiplinlerin akademik
tartışmalarında hem de önemli ampirik araştırma alanlarında gelişmektedir. Bu
çalışma, son on yıllarda Türkiye’de politik ve akademik gündemde yerini alan
nüfusun yaşlanması meselesine “yaşlanmanın coğrafyası” perspektifinden bakarak
beşeri coğrafyacıların dikkatini çekmeyi; bu bağlamda yeni ortaya çıkan ve
hızla gelişen bir disiplini tanıtmayı ve onun başlıca araştırma konularına
işaret etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
