ÖgeThe relationship between daily life of older adults and the urban environment in istanbul: The case of Fati̇h and Ni̇şantaşı(Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2021) Bayar, Rumeysa ; Türkoğlu, Handan ; 672529 ; Şehir ve Bölge PlanlamaThe World Health Organization stated that the population is dramatically ageing and the developed countries will face this demographic change more rapidly in its report of Population ageing in 2012. Within the next 30 years, Turkey also will challenge with increasing elderly population as all other countries. This research aims to provide a unique literature review which explains the relationship between population ageing and urban planning principles through highlighting what age-friendly city is. Since a significant proportion of the global population lives in urban areas, it is necessary to highlight the importance of designing neighbourhoods to meet the needs of older adults. Before building policies for older adults, it is important to well understand what constitutes older adults' daily life. Because as a part of active ageing and ageing in place, individuals tend to spend their lifetime in the same neighbourhood. This research examines two different urban neighbourhoods in terms of urban infrastructure and sociodemographic backgrounds and questions what is the main influencer on the daily life of older adults. The first area is the historically oldest district, Fatih, the other one is socio-economically highly developed area in Şişli district which is Nişantaşı area. Participants are elderly aged above 65 and they are questioned by semi-structured interview. This research examines the engagement of older adults to the city and facilities provided by urban infrastructure. As a key output; a holistic assessment is added to both literature and urban planning process, engagement to the city, limitations and concerns are emphasized and brought to light. The data is analysed by thematic analysis method, by evaluating them over the main headings specified in the conceptual framework. These headings are determined as accessibility, sociability, outdoor activities and public transportation. At the same time, data sets were visualized by grading them on a radar chart containing the subtitles of these topics. The most important finding obtained within the scope of the results of the study is that besides the opportunities offered by the living urban environment, it has been proved that socio-economic level increases active ageing. However, it is underlined that the living environment has significant affects on the level of participation and social life of elderly people regarding activity and well-being.
