“…Also, while some studies reviewed subjective well-being and the built environment [47,90], other aspects particularly when considering the range of domains of QoL, have not been included. Some qualitative studies of older adults and the built environment constituted different domains for studying older people [54]. While the set of QoL domains and the research design are similar to this research there is a need for further exploration of public spaces to give better insight and provide rich information about the built environments that positively accommodate older people.…”

“…In other studies Health, independence, family, activities and leisure, social network and connections, and finances were the most relevant QoL domains among older people, however, the order of the domains varied among countries and samples [50][51][52][53]. In their study of QoL for older people with care needs Kuboshima and McIntosh [54] identified independence and control, privacy, personal identity, meaningful activities, relationships, and quality of care as relevant themes. Through this review, the aspects (domains) of QoL of older people that will be studied further in this study would are: autonomy, activities, social relations, leisure, and health (Table 2).…”

This paper investigates the relationship between public spaces and quality of life (QoL) for older adults, aiming to identify knowledge gaps within the context of population ageing and urbanization. Recognizing the growing importance of sustainable urban development, the research explores how cities can foster active ageing and improve QoL through accessible and inclusive public spaces. A scoping literature review identifies five key QoL domains for older adults: autonomy, meaningful activities, positive social relationships, leisure opportunities, and health. The review highlights areas requiring further investigation, including the interplay between environmental design and social connections, intergenerational perspectives on public space liveliness, the influence of context on QoL and the built environment, and the value of qualitative research in this field. By contributing to the understanding of QoL in relation to public spaces through the lens of Person-Environment fit theory, this study aims to inform urban design, landscape architecture, and policymaking in the creation of age-friendly communities with inclusive public spaces.

This paper investigates the relationship between public spaces and quality of life (QoL) for older adults, aiming to identify knowledge gaps within the context of population ageing and urbanisation. Recognising the growing importance of sustainable urban development, the research explores how cities can foster active ageing and improve QoL through accessible and inclusive public spaces. A scoping literature review identifies five key QoL domains for older adults: autonomy, meaningful activities, positive social relationships, leisure opportunities, and health. To identify knowledge gaps, a review of the literature was conducted for each of the highlighted themes. The review highlights areas requiring further investigation, including the interplay between environmental design and social connections, intergenerational perspectives on public space liveliness, the influence of context on QoL and the built environment, and the value of qualitative research in this field. By contributing to the understanding of QoL in relation to public spaces through the lens of person–environment fit theory, this study aims to inform urban design, landscape architecture, and policymaking in the creation of age-friendly communities with inclusive public spaces.
