THE ELDERLY IN TECHNICAL DIMENSION OF TOWN-PLANNING
Abstract
The town-planning and more particularly its technical infrastructure do need to be shaped
also with taking into consideration the limitations of mobility and perception abilities of the elderly.
There are many persons who are invalid because of their past diseases and are under the pensionable
age admitted. The invalidity is decidedly not a result o f the age as such. About 29 per cent
of the population in Poland (i.e. over 11 millions people) have more or less serious difficulties in
their own mobility. Moreover the average life time increases constantly as well as the share o f the
elderly within the society. This is the reason why the anthropo-technology of the town-planning
must take into consideration the requirements involved with the ergo-communication of this group
which becomes more and more frequently the non-motorised participants in the traffic. The
principles of planning the architecture of streets and the traffic organisation as showed by the
Author as well as the proposed projection norms as applied in the practice should contribute to
abate all the nuisances caused by a non-adaptation of technical elements of the environment to the
needs of the third age people.
