Annual Review of Gerontology and Geriatrics 2003 ― Socio-Physical Environments

Wahl (social and environmental gerontology, U. of Heidelberg, Germany), Scheidt (family studies and human services, Kansas State U., US), and Windley (architecture, U. of Idaho, US) present 13 papers in the new volume of the gerontology series the first in the series to focus solely on environmental gerontology and its relations to social and behavioral concerns. The interdisciplinary collection considers a range of macro- and micro-scale issues, including the relationship between neighborhoods and well-being in late life, kinship and supportive environments, the role of technology in the experience of aging, the impact of population migration on socio-physical environments, and interior living environments in old age.
