Outcomes/Deliverables
• The study shall identify how the priorities for Quality of Life indicators vary among the elderly and the future elderly. This can be used for identifying the required neighbourhood features for the future generation of elderly and also bring out an optimum solution between the requirements of the elderly and the working age population.
• The study shall also indicate how the priorities for Quality of Life indicators vary with different socio-economic, demographic and neighbourhood characteristics. This can be used for identifying the required neighbourhood features for respective target population groups.
• Guidelines for provision of social support services to cater to the needs of residents with the focus on the different age groups of elderly population (the ‘elderly’ and ‘the aged’).
• Undertaking large scale community outreach programs and workshops to inform people about the proposed programs, identified from their responses, to cater to the needs of the senior citizens and seek for their co-operation in the implementation of the same.
• Conducting experimental studies at different neighbourhoods to test the effectiveness of the proposed solutions in improving the Qol of senior citizens.
• Manuals for creation of neighbourhood built environment facilities/features that improve the Quality of Life of residents with the focus on the different age groups of elderly population (the the ‘elderly’ and ‘the aged’) based on the city’s ability to deliver the solutions.
Step 9: Analysis of city’s existing funds and facilities and testing the feasibility of the proposed solutions
Step 10: Manuals for creation of neighbourhood built environment facilities/features that improve the Quality of Life of residents with the focus on the different age groups of elderly population (the the ‘elderly’ and ‘the aged’)
