I’DGO: older people getting outdoors
Consortium established 2003
• The aim is to identify the most effective ways to ensure that the outdoor environment is designed inclusively, to improve the quality of life for older and disabled people
• What features facilitate or hinder physical activity in outdoor spaces?

I N C L U S I V E D E S I G N F O R G E T T I N G O U T D O O R S 5
WISE (Oxford Brookes U.) research project funded by EPSRC 2000-2003: Designing the outdoor environment to improve the quality of life of older people with dementia
Towns and villages in Oxfordshire and Berkshire
Older people with and without dementia
Interviews, accompanied walks and measurement of neighbourhood design characteristics
Recommendations for all scales from urban form to street furniture
![Page 6: The Design of Streets with Older People in Mind · 2017-11-02 · Older People in Mind Catharine Ward Thompson Lynne Mitchell Rita Newton I’DGO Research ... Older people with and](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050106/5f44bfbe4aedb902834443d8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I’DGO: Triangulation of methods • Focus groups, semi-structured
interviews and workshops with older people
• Workshops and questionnaire surveys of designers, planners and managers
• Questionnaire surveys with older people as participants
• On-site analysis of urban form and detailed design
• Behaviour-setting observations and accompanied visits with older site users

Why do older people need to get outdoors? In our I’DGO study, older people living in an environment that makes it easy and enjoyable to go outdoors were more likely to be physically active, healthier and more satisfied with life.

Benefits and Barriers Outdoor environments provide opportunities for physical activity, contact with nature and social interaction.
But in-depth interviews of 200 people aged 65+ in a range of locations in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Greater Manchester showed that at least half faced problems in getting outdoors due to barriers in the environment and lack of supportive facilities

Urban form and layout WISE research on how urban form affects older people’s quality of life – what urban characteristics have the most positive impact?
Small blocks laid out on an irregular grid with varying block lengths
Gently winding streets
Minimal crossroads

Do you live within 10 minutes’ walk of a local open space?
Such participants were twice as likely to achieve the recommended levels of healthy walking activity (2.5 hours/week) as those living further away Do you have good paths on the way to your local open space? Such participants were twice as likely to achieve the recommended levels of healthy walking activity (2.5 hours/week) as those with poor quality paths.
Does where you live make a difference?

• Separate from cycleways • Clear colour and textural contrast to walls and kerbs
• Clean and well maintained • Plain and non-reflective
Wide, flat, smooth, non-slip footways
I N C L U S I V E D E S I G N F O R G E T T I N G O U T D O O R S 21
Tarmac or asphalt preferred - smooth, even, not slippery, safer from tripping, comfortable to walk on

Easy transition at level changes (1)
• Ramps to be used for level changes
• Steps as an alternative (some people prefer steps)
• Steps and ramps clearly marked and well lit with handrails and non-slip, non-glare surfaces

Work at three different levels of detail, to research: • the implications of high-density urban housing on
residential outdoor space, such as gardens and balconies,
• pedestrian-friendly approaches (such as Home Zones) in street environments and
• the practical consequences of using tactile paving (designed to assist people with visual impairment) for older people in the urban environment

Does the implementation of Shared Space projects, such as Home Zones, result in environments where older people:
• Go outside more often? • Spend more time outside in the local environment? • Have better social networks? • Have a better quality of life?

• To identify older people’s perceptions and approach to using tactile paving;
• To quantify the relationship between tactile paving design parameters and the biomechanics of ambulation and risk of falling.

Wide variability in the design, siting and laying of blister and corduroy paving;
Considerable deviation from design guidance primarily due to variation of contexts;
Maintenance of paving may have a critical effect on pedestrian safety.
