城市老龄化问题研究的时间地理学框架与展望

进入21世纪后，老龄化问题已经成为全世界关注的焦点之一，亦成为多学科研究的对象，通过社会学和地理学对老龄化问题研究视角的对比分析，将时间地理学方法引入对城市老龄化问题的研究中，提出社会学视角与地理学视角相结合的城市老龄化的研究基本框架，展望时间地理学在城市老年服务设施的时间管理和空间管理，老年福利服务以及老年社区建设等方面的应用前景。

A Time Geographical Framework and Prospect of Urban Ageing Study

The 21st century sees that urban ageing problem becomes a focus worldwide and the researching topic of many subjects. After comparing the research approach applied in sociology with that applied in geography, this paper proposes to introduce the approach of time-geography into the study of urban ageing problem, to form the fundamental research framework. By focusing on the individual spatial behavior and city structure of the elderly people, time-geography rethinks urban ageing problem from a spatial perspective at the micro level. Combined with social gerontology's macro level focus, the attention at micro level would give an integral understanding and explanation of urban ageing study. This cross-disciplinary interaction will fertile in the research for solution to the urban ageing problem. On this basis, this paper also describes the practical future of time-geography applying in the fields such as the time and space management of urban elderly service, the welfare service for the elderly, the elderly community study, etc.
