Promotion of Urban Mobility for Aged Populations
Plan
Besides the common tasks of project management (task 1) and dissemination (task 2), the project will be centered in three main tasks:
1) State-of-the-art with literature concerning the ‘urban space and the elderly’ and literature concerning the ‘mobility and the elderly’ (task 3);
2) A full elderly-driven approach with the study of the populations, of the urban space and of the transport systems to be tackle in the case studies (Coimbra and Porto central historical zones), also including workshops with the population (task 4);
3) Finally, it considers a method for urban areas classification, the so called MOBIAGE evaluation methodology with definition of criteria for classification of areas adapted to elderly. The method developed will have as main outcome the production of a manual with guidelines for diagnosis and classification of these type of areas elsewhere (task 5).
