“…Population aging is a challenge for governments to comply with international commitments to human rights and for the State because it must act to guarantee these social rights by protecting and safeguarding them with public policies [87]. Aging European countries have widespread implications for current and future social and economic policies all across Europe [88].…”

Population aging is becoming a major challenge in many countries. This paper deals with the elderly’s specific needs in the public open space as it can play a significant role in their social inclusion and could be especially relevant in deprived areas. The main goal is to build a model to evaluate the vulnerability of the public space by focusing on the elderly’s needs, using indicators. A previous analysis of the scientific and policy-oriented literature and of the technical standards and regulations linked with accessibility and social aspects that affect the elderly in urban areas was performed to identify the main dimensions for evaluation. The interjudge agreement technique was applied to validate the indicators with a panel of experts in technical and social disciplines. The model was applied to a vulnerable area in Castellón (East Spain), based on indicators adapted to the specific context features. The agreement level reached by experts was used to weight the indicators. The application of the model permitted the vulnerability in the suggested dimensions to be estimated and a global integrated index of vulnerability in the area to be calculated. It could assist in urban planning decision making toward age-friendly and, therefore, inclusive cities.

“…La aceleración del envejecimiento es un fenómeno demográfico y desafiante, y abordarlo requiere una mayor eficiencia y eficacia en la prestación de la atención; la sociedad debe responder adecuadamente y reducir la vulnerabilidad para proteger a las personas mayores (Slaug et al, 2017). El estado debe proteger a la vejez en solidaridad con los derechos humanos para garantizar sus derechos sociales (Triviño et al,2016). Así pues, el envejecimiento debe verse como una oportunidad de vida, un desafío y un disfrute para las personas mayores que desean convertirse en miembros activos de la sociedad (Parra Rizo, 2018).…”

Nowadays, ageing has become a problem in many countries due to difficulties in accessing public spaces, especially in the most vulnerable areas. This challenge must be overcome through the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, through the eleventh goal of the SDG of the 2030 Agenda: "Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable."The main objective of this work is to design a model for assessing the vulnerability in public urban space that focuses on the needs of older people to promote their inclusion, based on a case study about vulnerable urban area. The model is based on assessment indicators, and considers different dimensions and areas, to include urban, architectural, economic and social issues. The model was applied to the study area located in the Central Administrative District of the municipality of Castelló de la Plana, specifically in census sections 5005 and 5013. The application of the model to the area of study has allowed the evaluation of vulnerability indicators in the public space with the aim of favoring the inclusion of elders. Partial indices are calculated by dimensions and areas, as well as a global index, which considers all of themholistically. This model can help make urban planning decisions for sustainable cities towards older-friendly cities and, in the future, can serve as a reference for all municipalities to plan their cities sustainably.
