“…It is likely that elderly in this group no longer have the same need to reach an array of daily activities as they previously did in life, making accessibility less important to overall life satisfaction, as well as other aspects of life more related to life satisfaction, e.g., health or family. In fact, previous findings [32,35] show that individuals start to engage more in in-home activities and less in out-of-home activities as their age increases. This further corresponds to our finding that those over 80 experience the lowest levels of perceived accessibility out of all the groups, albeit with the highest levels of life satisfaction (alongside the 75–79 bracket).…”

“…Nordbakke and Schwanen further conclude, in another study [34], that the consequences of low-quality high-cost travel, or unmet mobility needs, were decreased life satisfaction of the older elderly. Enam et al [35] discuss how the relationship between life satisfaction and activity participation may be twofold, and that the dimensions may be constantly influencing each other. A study of public transport shows that a lack of possibilities of using public transport for daily travel (due to health issues or service supply) negatively affects “the capability of elderly to carry out everyday activities of value” [36].…”

People are living longer than they did previously, and the proportion of older people is increasing worldwide. This rapid development will have implications for the transport system, in general, and for travel behavior and accessibility to daily activities, in particular. In recent years, both research and politics have drawn the attention of the public to issues affecting the opportunities of the elderly to participate in everyday life. The debate has so far mostly focused on health issues, with limited work having been done on the ability of the elderly to live the lives they want to considering how they travel. With this view, a theoretical model, grounded in a model of travel and subjective wellbeing was developed to explore the role of perceived accessibility in satisfaction with travel and life satisfaction. Empirical data were collected from a sample of 2950 respondents (aged 60–92) from five cities in Northern Europe (Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen, Bergen) and analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings confirmed the link between perceived accessibility, travel satisfaction, and life satisfaction. The findings also showed the role of sociodemographic and travel attributes in perceived accessibility and satisfaction with travel, as well as the moderating effects of different age groups. We conclude that this moderating role played by age clearly indicates that we should not treat the elderly as a homogenous group in research and transport planning.

A escolha de não ser discreto: discutindo a utilização de modelos discretos contínuos no transporte de carga

O transporte de carga tem utilizado os modelos herdados do transporte de passageiros e com eles todos seus pressupostos tradicionais. Mas são todos eles válidos? O presente artigo visa discutir sobre um dos pressupostos menos contestados neste processo de modelagem: o da exclusividade mútua das alternativas no contexto do transporte de carga. Para isso, este artigo apresenta uma aplicação de Multiple Discrete Extreme Value Model (MDCEV) para a escolha de modo e porto para os consolidadores de grãos na Argentina. O modelo é desenvolvido a partir de uma pesquisa de Preferência Declarada que permitia a escolha de mais de uma alternativa simultaneamente. A escolha é descrita pelo Tempo de Viagem, Tempo de Espera do Serviço, Preço de venda no porto e Custo do Frete. O MDCEV permitiu obter informação sobre o efeito da saciedade das diferentes alternativas. De esta maneira, o MDCEV pode ser uma ferramenta valiosa para a modelagem de escolhas táticas e estratégicas.

“…In order to cope with this situation, China has implemented the 9073 or 9064 model since 2009 to reach 90% of the older adults aging in their local communities [9]. However, in rural communities, shrinking family size and the group heterogeneity will also affect or restrict participation in activities and time allocation [47,55,[58][59][60][61][62]. Moreover, people will weigh the time allocated to different activities within a time limit [63,64].…”

“…More important and sticky temporal fixation activities will bind a series of behaviors to a specific place and time, limiting an individual's opportunity to engage in a variety of activities [65]. Separate studies of certain types of activities (e.g., work, leisure, or shopping) may ignore the intrinsic influence of activities on time allocation decisions [55].…”

Exploring Daily Activity Patterns on the Typical Day of Older Adults for Supporting Aging-in-Place in China’s Rural Environment

Severe aging in rural China is prompting communities to promote support for older people to age in place. The study of the daily life of older adults in rural areas is conducive to understanding their real life and demands, as well as the way they interact with their environment, to develop feasible strategies. In this study, 171 older adults over 60 years old in two different types of villages in Northern Zhejiang Province were investigated and analyzed in terms of the temporal and spatial features of daily activities, as well as their relationship with population attributes, personal competence, and subjective demands. The results show that: (1) significant association can be seen between working hours and the demand for health services, housework hours and gender and age, as well as leisure hours and ADL and the demand for recreational services. (2) The older adults appear to have inter-group homogeneity in some aspects: basic living activities, leisure hours, the gender difference in housework hours, and recreational preference, while they have higher average paid work hours and fewer leisure alternatives than their urban counterparts. Their definitions of paid work, housework, and leisure activities are vague. (3) The definition of home by the older adults in rural places sometimes seems to go beyond the scope of their own house, and the extensive definition of home may change their recognitions of some activities. They also inclined to assign meaning to a place through frequent use rather than through external definitions. (4) The weak consciousness on buying services and deteriorated financial situation hinders the older adults in rural communities from expressing their real demands. Unspoken demands include economic security, recreational choices, and assistance in housework. The results will help to provide references for the improvement of eldercare services and the community environment.
