Abstract

As people worldwide are living longer and the aging of the population is gradually becoming more serious, the attention to the elderly population needs urgent attention, especially the retired ones. Age diversity makes for differences in people’s mindsets, psychology, and behavioural habits, which can lead to a sense of strangeness in the lives of these elderly people who are no longer working. This essay will first list the different treatments encountered by age diversity in the social environment and analyse the limitations. Afterward, it will discuss three common issues that retirees encounter in daily life in terms of public spaces (communities, squares, and sideways) and provide strategies for the design of spaces to reduce their sense of exclusion. As a result, the designers’ approaches to activating public spaces from the aspect of the retired elderly will be beneficial in enhancing the outgoing rate of the elderly, thus increasing the sense of social inclusion.
