Survey Results

Many successful projects of co-housing have extensively influenced people’s quality of living worldwide. This study thus discusses the perception of the elderly regarding co-housing from with particular focus on their behavior pattern and their relationship with the community environment. To this end, a questionnaire survey was conducted for the elderly living in the Taipei Metro Area. A total of 111 valid responses of a specially designed questionnaire were collected and the survey results were analyzed. The results indicated that the most significant factor is housing type, and that in co-housing, the public facilities most demanded by the respondents are public flower gardens, playgrounds, and group dining space. The Recommendation of this study were as follows: (1) Communicating with and supporting people outside one’s own family and with no blood relationship in diverse ways. (2) In public facilities for residents to dine together and share experiences and skills with each other, thereby fostering extensive interpersonal networks. (3) Recommended to use environmental education and participatory design to achieve substantial benefits and results. (4) Subject to minimal requirements of private space, public facilities that serve the public interest should take the larger proportion.

Survey Results

Basic scientific research generates knowledge that has intrinsic value which is independent of future applications. Basic research may also lead to practical benefits, such as a new drug or diagnostic method.  Building on our previous study of basic biomedical and biological researchers at Harvard, we present findings from a new survey of similar scientists from three countries.  This survey asked about the scientists’ motivations, goals and perspectives along with their attitudes concerning  policies designed to increase both the practical (i.e. public health) benefits of basic research as well as their own personal satisfaction. Close to 900 basic investigators responded to the survey; results corroborate the main findings from the previous survey of Harvard scientists.  In addition, we find that most bioscientists disfavor present policies that require a discussion of the public health potential of their proposals in grants but generally favor softer policies aimed at increasing the quality of work and the potential practical benefits of basic research. In particular, bioscientists are generally supportive of those policies entailing the organization of more meetings between scientists and the general public, the organization of more academic discussion about the role of scientists in the society, and the implementation of a “basic bibliography” for each new approved drug.

For optimal use and function in the public interior evaluation of seating furniture is important in terms of typology, ergonomics, safety, quality of design, used materials, ecology and other properties. The aim is to adjust the dimensional requirements of the seating furniture for public interior to meet the needs of the current population and reflect the proportional changes in the human body over the last decades.Due to the ageing of population and growing number of people with movement and physiological limitations (which also include the elderly), it will become, in near future, more topical need to modify the rules related to seating furniture that is used in public space. Particularly, in the term of simple and non-discriminatory sitting down and standing up.Proposal to change standards is based on the analysis of used values, the results of the current anthropometrical survey and addition of parameters that were processed by using ergonomic software.In most of the activities related to the seating there is an interaction with the surrounding furniture. Based on this assumption arise the importance of connection between seating furniture and reaching distance of the person sitting on it. Ranges are in the computer simulation divided according to intensity - static, dynamic and comfortable (with the preservation of the natural physiological limitations of joints). The resulting values of simulations can be defined distances suitable for placing objects near seating furniture to ensure the possibility of full utilization.If the principles are kept and they come from the needs of people with limitations, it is certain that the environment will suit all healthy individuals and at the same time it will be non-discriminatory for a greater proportion of people with physical limitations.

Resumo: O presente artigo apresenta uma série de discussões a cerca da importância da presença de espaços abertos junto a instituições para idosos, tomando por base os resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado centrada neste tema e desenvolvida a partir do estudo da realidade vigente no município de Porto Alegre-RS. A referida pesquisa foi desenvolvida, basicamente a partir de dois estudos de campo: o primeiro, um levantamento preliminar onde foram analisadas características físicas dos espaços abertos de uma amostra de 12 instituições; e, o segundo, um estudo de casos comparativo envolvendo duas instituições com diferentes condições de disponibilidade e qualidade de espaços abertos. Os resultados do primeiro estudo demonstraram um panorama predominantemente negativo quanto à presença e qualidade dos espaços abertos disponíveis nas instituições, com espaços demasiadamente restritos, pouco funcionais e esteticamente pouco interessantes. O segundo estudo, por outro lado, demonstrou, entre outros resultados não abordados neste artigo, uma influência da qualidade do pátio sobre a satisfação dos idosos em relação à instituição e sobre o tempo de permanência dos idosos nas áreas externas. Este estudo revelou ainda que, de forma geral, os idosos utilizam muito pouco outros espaços abertos fora da instituição como parques e praças, o que reforça a importância da presença de locais desta natureza junto à instituição. Palavras-chave: Instituições para Idosos. Espaços Abertos. Qualidade de Vida. Abstract: This article presents several aspects related to the importance of outdoor spaces in institutions for the elderly. It is based on the results of a master’s degree research project on this topic, which was developed according to the analysis of the actual situation of institutions in the city of Porto Alegre-RS. Two field studies were the basic sources of data for this research: the first one analyzed the physical characteristics of outdoor spaces in a sample of 12 institutions; the second one was a comparative study including two institutions with different conditions regarding the availability and quality of outdoor spaces. The results of the first study showed an overall negative situation of availability and quality of outdoor spaces in the institutions. The spaces presented restricted availability and functionality and little aesthetic interest. The second study, on the other hand, showed the influence of the quality of outdoor spaces on the satisfaction of the elderly regarding the institution and their length of stay in the outdoor. This study also revealed that elderly people usually do not use the other open areas outside the institution, such as parks and squares, very frequently. This aspect highlights the importance of outdoor spaces in institutions for the elderly. Keywords: Institutions for the Elderly. Open Spaces. Quality of Living.

Main Work

In the utilization of urban public facilities, it is found that the number of people under 18 years who exercise accounts for 29.5% of the total number of people surveyed, 32.8% between 18 and 65 years, and 37.7% over 65 years. The elderly have become the main population of public facilities, and the aging of cities is becoming more and more obvious. Strengthening the construction and development of urban public facilities has become the main work of current urban construction, and planning public facilities can effectively alleviate the pressure of urban public facilities. Through image recognition to promote urban sports public service, we improve the management efficiency of urban sports public service, facilitate residents' sports, and improve residents' satisfaction and happiness index. Through image recognition to manage portraits and objects, the safety of residents' sports and sports facilities is guaranteed, and the management efficiency is improved. The experimental results show that R-CNN, FAST R-CNN, and Faster R-CNN in urban public facilities can be intelligently recognized by image recognition technology for comparison. Faster R-CNN has good accuracy and low average time. Finally, the study analyzes the service cost of public facilities, compared with traditional public services, with the application of public services under image recognition, so as to guide different groups of people to make full use of public service facilities to improve their quality of life and realize the good behavior of the national movement.

Abstract Background The growing demand for LTC (Long-term care) services for disabled elderly has become a daunting task for countries worldwide, especially China, where population aging is particularly severe. According to CSY (China Statistical Yearbook,2019), the elderly aged 65 or above has reached 167 million in 2018, and the number of disabled elderly is as high as 54%. Germany and other countries have alleviated the crisis by promoting the public LTCI (Long-Term Care Insurance) system since the 1990s, while China’s public LTCI system formal pilot only started in 2016. Therefore, the development of the public LTCI system has gradually become a hot topic for scholars in various countries, including China. Methods This review has been systematically sorted the existing related literature to discuss the development of public LTCI (Long-Term Care Insurance)system form four aspects, namely, the comparison of public LTCI systems in different countries, the influence of public LTCI, challenge of public LTCI, and the relationship between public LTCI and private LTCI. We searched some databases including Web of Science Core Collection, Medline, SCOPUS, EBSCO, EMBASE, ProQuest and PubMed from January 2008 to September 2020. The quality of 38 quantitative and 21 qualitative articles was evaluated using the CASP(Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) critical evaluation checklist. Results The review systematically examines the development of public LTCI system from four aspects, namely, the comparison of public LTCI systems in different countries, the influence of public LTCI, the challenge of public LTCI, and the relationship between public LTCI and private LTCI. For example, LTCI has a positive effect on the health and life quality of the disabled elderly. However, the role of LTCI in alleviating the financial burden on families with the disabled elderly may be limited. Conclusion Some policy implications on the future development of China’s LTCI system can be obtained. For example, the government should fully consider the constraints such as price rise, the elderly disability rate, and the substantial economic burden. It also can strengthen the effective combination of public LTCI and private LTCI. It does not only help to expand the space for its theoretical research but also to learn the experiences in the practice of the LTCI system in various countries around the world. It will significantly help the smooth development and further promote the in-depth reform of the LTCI system in China.

- The Lombard services plan defines operational criteria and policies designed to achieve the objectives of settlement quality and urban welfare. They are objectives which cut across the public-private relationship in the construction and improvement of settlement contexts. If quality of living in an area and the long term value of the urban asset depends on the capacity to achieve integrated development (housing, public transport and social services), then the centrality of this instrument is clear to see, with its ability to seize on local opportunities and community resources in its triple nature of a plan, a project and a programme. A number of positive experiences have developed in recent years, such as the Bergamo, Cremona and Monza plans which have introduced a new vocabulary and new ways of operating (competitions, settlement criteria, expected public performance and financial assessments) to strengthen bargaining capacities and competition in public strategies and policies.

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the environmental degradation and its effects in the human health particularly related to the use of water of the tropics and subtropics areas on Earth. In this conception towards a healthy society a continuous investing in basic and environmental sanitation is very important and simultaneously less expensive than dealing with illnesses. In order to improve a better and friendly society linked to Sustainable Development with a good population life quality will need to point out a series of services to the community such as treated water supply, collection and disposal of sewers and solid residues. The public politics that efficiently provide investments of financial resources in sanitation, preventively collective health, must be a strategy to achieve the human being quality of living in the XXI century.
