Abstract :
Objectives: Aging is an inevitable, destructive, and progressive physiological and psychological process associated with reduced efficiency in cellular, tissue, and various organ functions. The physical environment of cities significantly influences the level of physical activity among people. This article examines the design of urban neighborhoods to increase motivation and vitality among the elderly for the development of an active and effective lifestyle.
Materials and Methods: Using the keywords "Elderly," "Physical Activity," and "Neighborhood" in Google Scholar from 2014 to 2024, 313 articles were found, of which 90 articles were ultimately used in writing this article.
Findings: Urban neighborhood design can affect social security, natural disaster damages, control of nuisances and hooligans, asthma control, juvenile delinquency, cancer control, women's physical activity, physical fitness development, and the happiness of the elderly, among many other influencing factors.
Conclusion: Factors such as environmental beauty and attractiveness, reducing fear of the environment, ergonomics, safety, ease of access, environmental color, materials used, walking paths, sidewalks, and cycling, the use of advanced equipment, and natural attractions like flowers, plants, and trees should be considered to increase elderly sports participation in neighborhoods, among which safety and security, environmental structure and layout, attractiveness, and environmental beauty are of greater importance.
