| Sumario: | Population ageing is one of the most significant demographic phenomenon of the 21st century. Many studies have reported that exposure to Green Spaces (GS) has been associated with various health outcomes, especially for older adults wellbeing and dignity in old age. GS also offer a space for performing daily activities nearby their residential environment, and provide a multi-course space for recreation, learning and socialization.
The objective of the present study is to provide reliable and practical tools needed to formulate adaptable urban policies that meet the needs of older adults and the GS management in the city of Cordoba. This work is aligned with the search for initiatives that guarantee the access to institutions, services or areas of recreation, leisure and personal development for older adults, in accordance with the provisions of Sustainable Development Goals number 10 and 11.
Different demographic indices and indicators associated with aging and GS location were used, which were imported into a geographic information system for their subsequent spatial characterization and construction of distribution maps. Among other indicators, the older adult population without access to GS was estimated.
It was observed that the distribution of older adults is heterogeneous, with a segregation index of 0.23. Additionally, 28% of the older adult population does not have a green space within 300 meters. |
