Full textAbstract:
AbstractRetirement villages are an increasingly popular senior housing option that aims to comprehensively integrate accommodation, care services, social activities and interaction opportunities for ageing people. The research literature about retirement villages and communities is extensive, but less studied are the contextually varying spatial, legal and political processes of how such villages and other intermediate housing-with-care solutions for older people are initially constituted, especially in novel national and local contexts. In this paper, a spatio-legal approach is employed to study the many legal possibilities and barriers that have arisen while developing retirement villages in Finland. As a specific case, I examine the new Finnish Virkkulankylä retirement village concept and its implementation process. As the key result of my study, I identify three major spatio-legal barriers to developing retirement villages and other intermediate senior housing solutions, which are (a) the polarised division between the fields of elderly care and housing in both law and practice, (b) the prevalence of ‘local law’ in spatial planning and service provision for elderly people, and (c) the inflexible funding system regarding alternative housing-with-care solutions for seniors. I argue that although the ‘in-betweenness’ of retirement villages may facilitate a more comprehensive understanding about the housing and care of older adults, in practice their intermediary position translates into many ambiguities and challenges.

Purpose As the “baby boomer” generation continues to enter their senior post-retirement years, the provision of affordable retirement housing has become increasingly important for the community, practitioners and policymakers. However, relatively little attention has to date been placed on identifying an effective market mechanism for the industry of the independent-living retirement villages to meet this increased and unprecedented demand. This study aims to develop an innovative and affordable retirement village development model which meets the needs of all stakeholders including seniors, retirement village residents, the retirement village industry and government. Design/methodology/approach The attributes of this study are as follows: structure of individual living units, retirement village characteristics, retirement village facilities and services and support mechanisms. The analysis was undertaken based on data relating to independent-living retirement villages in five Australian states. A hedonic pricing model was used where the price distributions relating to these four aspects were estimated. Findings The results confirmed the structures of the independent living units and the retirement village characteristics were closely related to pricing, followed by services and supports with a lesser relationship, although the facilities were not significantly related to pricing. Research limitations/implications This research is not able to address the entire retirement village market in Australia because the available market data are limited. Practical implications This research uses an innovative supply-side approach to assess retirement village attributes and values, which provides stakeholders with up-to-date market information to assist in guiding the performance of the retirement village industry. Social implications The market evaluations imply that seniors are reluctant to pay for village attributes that are not regarded as highly sought-after. A cost-effective strategy of new retirement village developments and upgrades can be further induced, which in turn can enhance the market efficiency and affordability of the retirement villages. Originality/value This pricing model for retirement village units extends previous studies into retirement villages and presents stakeholders with an innovative and reliable market-oriented model.

Full textAbstract:
Cluster analysis is an analysis in multivariable statistics that is used to group objects that have the same characteristics. One of the methods in cluster analysis used to group relatively large amounts of data is the K-Means method. In this study, the K-Means method was applied to classify sub-districts in South Sulawesi Province based on village potential. The variables used are the number of: Elementary School/Equivalent degree, Junior High School/Equivalent degree, Senior High School/Vocational School/Equivalent degree, Community Health Center/Pustu, Families without electricity, Villages/Urbans according to market presence, Villages/Towns that are passed by public transportation and Villages/Kelurahan that have lighting main road. The results of this study are that 3 groups are formed where the first cluster consists of 107 sub-districts that have high village potential, the second cluster consists of 16 sub-districts that have medium village potential and the third cluster consists of 184 sub-districts that have low village potential.

Full textAbstract:
In India, assembly constituencies (ACs), represented by elected officials, are the primary geopolitical units for state-level policy development. However, data on social indicators are traditionally reported and analyzed at the district level, and are rarely available for ACs. Here, we combine village-level data from the 2011 Indian Census and AC shapefiles to systematically derive AC-level estimates for the first time. We apply this methodology to describe the distribution of 11 education infrastructures—ranging from pre-primary school to senior secondary school—across rural villages in 3773 ACs. We found high variability in access to higher education infrastructures and low variability in access to lower education variables. For 40.3% (25th percentile) to 79.7% (75th percentile) of villages in an AC, the nearest government senior secondary school was >5 km away, whereas the nearest government primary school was >5 km away in just 0% (25th percentile) to 1.9% (75th percentile) of villages in an AC. The states of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Bihar showed the greatest within-state variation in access to education infrastructures. We present a novel analysis of access to education infrastructure to inform AC-level policy, and demonstrate how geospatial and Census data can be leveraged to derive AC-level estimates for any population health and development indicators collected in the Census at the village level.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTChina is experiencing rapid urbanisation and population ageing, alongside sometimes contentious rural land consolidation. These on-going social, economic, political and demographic changes are especially problematic for older people in rural areas. In these regions, social and institutional support arrangements are less developed than in urban areas; older people have few options for re-settlement but are resistant to or incapable of adjusting to high-rise apartment living. In 2012–13, we gathered rich qualitative and quantitative data on over 600 older residents in 12 villages under the jurisdiction of City L in north-east coastal China to analyse residents’ living arrangement choices during the village renovation process. We compared villages with and without senior centres to shed light on the correlates of co-residence and independent living. Senior centres play a role in balancing the burden on rural Chinese families resulting from population ageing, smaller families, widespread migration for work, and the rapid urbanisation that is restructuring land rights and social support arrangements.

Guidance Training in Donokerto Tourism Village. Donokerto village is one of the pioneering tourist villages that has good potential in terms of the diversity of tourist attractions. As a Pioneer tourism village, the village of Donokerto requires qualified human resources for tourism services, especially as a tour guide. Therefore, the AMPTA Yogyakarta Tourism School in collaboration with PUM Netherlands Senior Experts held a community service with the theme "Guiding Training in Donokerto Village". This community service activity is carried out using role-play and simulation methods, namely by trying to directly deal with tourists and service instructors providing evaluations. The recommendation from this service activity is to increase the ability of foreign languages and public speaking for the community as potential tour guides.

This paper describes a GIS-based application to illustrate the maps of tourist attractions and ethnic groups of Nan Province in Thailand under a research project funded by the Thailand Research Fund (TRF). Various distribution patterns of languages and settlements of ethnic groups within Nan are mapped according to the collected village data. A questionnaire was designed to collect information from 902 villages. The questionnaire included questions about village background and environment, interesting cultural elements, village names, village history, local tourist places and schools, population, ethnic groups and languages. Nine-hundred questionnaires were distributed by well-trained staff from the Nan Community who conducted interviews of two or three senior people from each village. The data from the questionnaires was then entered into the village database via a developed user interface. In the meantime, a GIS database had been set up by combining map layers from several sources. The map layer set consists of administrative boundaries, roads, rivers, contour lines, as well as associated locations of the villages. The information of each village in the village database was then linked to its location represented by points in the GIS database. With the customized GIS application, various types of interactive queries about village data, as well as tourist attractions or ethnolinguistic maps, can be accommodated. Logical block diagrams, user interfaces and results are detailed in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article argues that villagers' weakened trust in local governments has caused the officials to develop new strategies to cooperate with people and groups who enjoy traditional forms of authority. More specifically, the article shows how the officially established Old People' Associations in some areas have gained political influence far beyond what their official status as an “NGO” (minjian zuzhzi) would warrant. Villages of Fujian have a long history of being organised around patrilinear lineage organisations, and especially the older men still enjoys authority among the population. Local authorities, as well as business people, are therefore actively trying to engage and mobilise this traditional senior authority for their own political and economic purposes, thereby creating new relations of local power.

Abstract. The waste problem that is happening at this time must be the concern of all parties. The Bandung City Government has the Kangpisman program which is a collaborative movement between the government and the community in waste management. The programs set by the government must of course be supported by community participation. This study generally aims to determine community participation in the implementation of the Kangpisman program. The method used is a comparative study with descriptive analysis, namely comparing community participation in the implementation of the Kangpisman program in Kebon Pisang Village and Sukamiskin Village. The data analysis technique used is using percentage calculations. There are various factors that influence the community to participate in the Kangpisman program, the knowledge factor shows good results in both villages. Female gender shows a high percentage of participation. The work of housewives has a high level of participation. From the educational factor, the education level of Senior High School and Higher Education has a high percentage. The difference in the results of waste management in implementing the Kangpisman program in the two villages is due to differences in the level of community participation in implementing movements to reduce, separate and utilize waste.

Many countries are witnessing a rise in the ageing population, which has become a global phenomenon that all nations must address. As the population of greying people is expected to increase in Malaysia, the demand for senior citizen accommodation is predicted to have experienced a major rise by 2030. However, although studies related to retirement villages (RV) are highly important to understand how to provide a better ambience for the elderly, research on the development of retirement villages in Malaysia is yet to gather pace fully. Thus, this paper aims to explore the potential of the retirement village in Malaysia by focusing on the push factors for the elderly to move to retirement villages in the local Malaysian context. The outcome of this paper presents the initial findings derived from a literature review and pilot survey. Eight potential push factors were identified after questions were posed to potential respondents through a pilot survey questionnaire. The research revealed that the main potential reason why the elderly relocate to retirement villages was related to social factors, with the elderly preferring better access to healthcare and support due to their unique requirements. The findings of this study are relevant to Chapter 11, as underlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which call on all governments to offer access to a secure, green environment for everyone, especially the elderly. Theoretically, this research provides the first findings on the elements that encourage the elderly to relocate to an RV when they retire in Malaysia.

Abstract Older adults are more susceptible to adverse health outcomes during and after a disaster compared with their younger counterparts. Developing community resilience, or strengthening communities to reduce the negative impacts of disasters, has the potential support older adults’ health and well-being. Community-based organizations (CBOs), such as senior centers and Villages, provide social services and programming that support aging in place and may support older adults’ resilience to disasters. This study examines CBO leadership perspectives on the role of CBOs in building disaster resilience for older adults aging in place, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators to incorporating disaster resilience activities into organizational programming. In-depth interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of staff-members of CBOs serving older adults aging in place in King County, Washington. Participants included representatives from 14 organizations that varied in size, geographic setting, organizational structure, and ethnic, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds of organizational members. The sample included five government-run senior centers, seven non-profit senior centers, and two Villages. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. We used a combined inductive and deductive approach to code and thematically analyze the data. Results indicate that local context, leadership risk perception, collaborations, and existing services and programming influence CBOs’ willingness to engage in activities supporting disaster resilience for older adults aging in place. Findings suggest that CBOs supporting aging in place may support disaster resilience for older adults by serving as a trusted source of disaster preparedness information and tailoring disaster-related messages for an older adult audience.

Purpose This paper aims to understand how non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can use design thinking (DT) as a strategic tool to improve organisational and societal outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The paper applies a case study design. Building on in-depth interviews with senior management, beneficiaries (villagers), the village headman and children in Karaliya village (Rajasthan), as also from secondary sources, the paper presents a model of using DT for NGOs. Findings This paper presents evidence of how Jal Bhagirathi Foundation, an Indian NGO working in the most water-distressed and densely populated arid zone of the Thar Desert, used a user-centric, DT approach to solve the water-scarcity problem in villages in the Marwar region. In doing so, several interconnected societal problems were also addressed, including those of sanitation, education – especially of the girl child – poverty and migration. Practical implications DT has been increasingly used by “for-profit” business organisations to derive competitive advantage. NGOs have lagged in the use of DT as a strategic tool to drive enhanced organisational and societal outcomes. Such NGOs can strategise to adopt a DT approach. Originality/value A literature search revealed that while the term “NGO” threw up 36,571 results, “NGOs and strategic management” had only 363 results, and “the use of design thinking in NGOs” had 0 results. This paper contributes to the limited research in the field of strategic management in the NGO space by looking at DT as an important strategic tool for NGOs.

Managing Homestay Training in the Tourism Village of Donokerto. Donokerto Village is one of the pioneering tourist villages that has quite a good potential in terms of the diversity of tourist attractions. In addition to tourist attractions, as the main factor triggering a visit, Homestay is one of the main sources of income which is very strategic to be taken into account in every management of a tourist village. Remembering Homestay is a basic need for every tourist who wants to visit to enjoy the attraction of the village in a long time As a tourism village that is being pioneered, Donokerto Village does not yet have human resources or a community that understands the ins and outs of Homestay management. Therefore, AMPTA Yogyakarta College of Tourism in collaboration with PUM Netherlands Senior Experts held community service with the theme "Training of Managing Homestays in Donokerto Village". The community service activities were carried out using the presentation method and then followed by a panel discussion. The recommendation from this community service activity is that proper homestay management is a crucial factor in creating a safe, comfortable and tourist-friendly tourist village. For this reason, it is expected that the community in managing homestays must meet the criteria for aspects of products, services, and management

What happens when young rural couples leave their villages to work in the city? Why do they choose to leave their children in the village under the care of grandparents? Is this a form of parental abandonment, or is it a collective strategy of multiple parenting constructed around the ideal of the patrilineal multigenerational joint family? Based on two decades of longitudinal fieldwork, between 1999 and 2018, in a rural community in Guangdong province, southern China, this article shows how the labor migration of young couples to the city was sustained by the resilience of traditional socio-technical systems of intergenerational sharing of parental duties. It was the reconfiguration of these systems of multiple parenting that helped young migrant couples to find ways of dealing with the double burden of work and family, benefiting from a stable network of familial support in a context of increasing mobility and widespread insecurity. Newly emerged formations of multiple parenting continue to place a large share of the burden of care work on women and continue to depend on a parental coalition between the senior generation and the middle generation of the patrilineal joint family, but the middle generation strengthened its economic power, leading to a weakening of the patriarchal authority of the senior generation. This decline of the power of the senior generation has been accompanied by a growing trend towards the outsourcing of grandparenting to professional care workers and educators under the influence of new visions of intensive parenting and education that are increasingly dominant in urban areas.

The intergenerational contract seems to be a dominant social norm of senior care all over the world, in which older adults are cared for reciprocally by those for whom they have cared. Yet in three villages in northern Benin and northern Togo, this intergenerational norm seems to be breached, with older adults living alone and in poverty. However, standardized surveys from a comparative research project established that kin groups do not abandon their older adults, if one considers the kin group to be containing classificatory children instead of the nuclear family with biological children and remittances to substitute for daily care. This article argues that the apparent contradictions between the intergenerational contract and the actual practices of providing care in old age are not so stark. The creative living arrangements of older adults in response to social changes of migration do not challenge the intergenerational contract, but instead are the ways of fulfilling it. The analytical concept of age-inscription (see Alber & Coe in this issue) helps to explain the gap between discursive norms and individual creative solutions of senior care. The social norm of the intergenerational contract persists through new age-inscriptions.

The article is prepared on the base of works by K.F. Karjalainen, A. Kannisto, V.N. Chernetsov, E.I. Rombandeeva, R.K. Bardina, I.N. Gemuev, A.I. Sagalaev, A.V. Baulo. Based on the classification of Karjalainen, the author refers the ancestral (family), village and territorial spirits to the local spirits. By their origin, they are famous ancestors, founders of villages, former personal spirits, and sons of the supreme god Numi-Tōrum. The list of local spirits fixed on the rivers Severnaya Sosva with Ob region, Lyapin / Sygva, Lozva, Pelym, Tavda, Vagilsk, and Konda is given. They are linked to specific loci: villages, forest areas, or water basins. This localization is of two kinds: both the location of the spirit itself and the territory of its worship. These signs do not always coincide. Different variants of the spatial boundaries of worship of a concrete spirit are revealed among the Mansi people. In some cases, only one spirit is worshipped in a village, in other words, it has here "sole" space. In other cases, when different local spirits are worshipped in the same village, their space is common. An even wider area “belongs” to the spirits worshipped in several villages (loci). The most extensive areas of worship were formed by the territorial ancestor spirits. Most of the local spirits were related to each other. This is most clearly demonstrated by the significant territorial spirits whish are considered the children of Numi-Tōrum – Polum-Tōrum, Nyaras-Nāy-Ekva, Tāgt-Kotil-Ōjka, Āj-Ās-Ōjka, and Nyor-Ōjka. In turn, the children of these original patron spirits dispersed to different parts of the Mansi land, becoming the guardians of both the area and the people living in it. These are the nāj-otyrs that helped people to settle where they now live. They are the masters of loci (villages, towns) and are subordinate to one of the most senior original patron spirits. Thus, the sons of Tāgt-Kotil-Ōjka are the patron spirits in several villages on the Severnaya Sosva River, as well as on the Manya River. Seven bogatyr brothers from the Lozva River made military campaigns over the Sosva River. The ties between the nāj-otyrs were often of a warlike nature. They conquered other people's territories and became patron spirits there. The materials presented in the article draw a general picture of the representations about local spirits (ancestral spirits) among different groups of the Mansi people. The basis of these representations is the general Mansi worldview concept about the origin of these characters, about their structure and relationships. The extensive list of ancestral spirits demonstrates, on the one hand, their localization and, on the other hand, the wide spatial area of worship of the most significant of them.

Cet article porte sur les fondements de la résilience des personnes âgées face aux mutations urbaines dans les villages reliques atchan de la ville d’Abidjan. Il révèle comment l’organisation sociale atchan, à travers son ordre religieux, prédispose ses membres âgés à la résilience en contexte urbain adverse. Les différents entretiens semi-directifs et groupes de discussion conduits dans les villages ont permis la collecte d’informations analysées à partir de la technique d’analyse de contenu thématique. Les résultats révèlent que face aux pressions urbaines (caractérisées par les transformations socio-économiques), pour continuer d’exister socialement, les personnes du troisième âge prennent appui sur les ressources mises à disposition par leurs communautés religieuses en l’occurrence les églises catholiques, méthodistes et harristes socialement reconnues dans leur village. Ces églises via des services pastoraux ordinaires et spéciaux ajustés aux personnes âgées, contribuent à atténuer les difficultés existentielles auxquelles celles-ci font face au quotidien. Ces églises se présentent également comme le cadre de la continuité de vie des personnes âgées. Car, elles s’y trouvent de nouveaux rôles sociaux consistant en l’assistance du corps pastoral dans l’œuvre missionnaire. L’honorât que l’église leur accorde à travers les perceptions valorisantes qu’elle véhicule sur ces dernières nourrit davantage leur sentiment d’utilité sociale, malgré les mutations en cours dans leur village. Toutes ces actions les inscrivent ainsi dans une démarche résiliente.
This article focuses on the foundations of the resilience of the elderly in the face of urban change in the relic Atchan villages of the city of Abidjan. It reveals how the Atchan social organization through its religious order predisposes its elderly members to resilience in an adverse urban context. The various semi-structured interviews and focus groups conducted in the Atchan villages enabled the collection of data analyzed using the thematic content analysis technique. The results reveal that in the face of urban pressures (characterized by socio-economic transformations), in order to continue to exist socially, senior citizens rely on the resources made available by their religious communities, in this case, the Catholic churches, Methodists and Harrisists implanted and socially recognized in their village. These churches, through ordinary and special pastoral services adapted to the elderly, contribute to alleviating the existential difficulties they face on a daily basis. Churches also present themselves as the framework for the continuity of life of the elderly. Because they find new social roles consisting in the assistance of the pastoral body in the missionary work. The honor that the church gives them through the rewarding perceptions it conveys about them further nourishes their feeling of social usefulness despite the changes underway in their village. All these actions thus enroll them in a resilient approach.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This symposium introduces key aging-in-community models and programs, with a particular focus on program and policy planning strategies. Villages are a new, consumer-directed model that aim to promote aging -in-community through a combination of facilitated social engagement, member-to-member support, volunteer opportunities, and collective bargaining for services. Dr. Graham from the University of California will share results from both a national survey of Village directors and a survey of village members, summarizing Village organizational development trends and members’ perceived impacts. Dr. Gilcksman from Philadelphia Corporation for Aging will share how older adults who do not participate in a Village create their own informal social and service network to maintain themselves and to accomplish the same goals as a Village, building community at the neighborhood level. Additionally, Dr. Hou from the University of Central Florida will discuss lessons learned on program planning strategies among older adults participating in three programs promoting aging-in-community: a university-based lifelong learning program (LLP), a county neighborhood lunch program (NLP), and a Florida Village program as a comparative case study. Finally, Dr. Glass from the University of North Carolina Wilmington will share the current trend of the new senior cohousing model, promises and challenges for older adults providing mutual support to each other as they age together. This symposium will further discuss strengths and weakness, and planning strategies of the various AIC models and programs.

Full textAbstract:
The NAERLS established the adopted village scheme within 20km distance from the head office that served as laboratories for showcasing agricultural technologies developed by research institutes. Sustainable agricultural development cannot be fully achieved without the integration of women in developmental processes. Using 136 adopted village women in Zaria, this study assessed the effect of NAERLS adopted village activities on livelihood of women. Multi-stage sampling was used to select the women for the study. Structured interview schedule was used to obtain data from the sample population. Analysis of socio-economic characteristics showed that the mean age of the respondents was 40, majority (72%) of the women were married, only 48.5% have senior secondary certificate, 33.8% of the respondents get occasional visits from NAERLS adopted village facilitators. It was found that there has been not much participation in the activities of adopted village in the past one year. Most of the respondents agree that NAERLS adopted village activities have been effective on their livelihood through increase in their annual income and improved crop harvest from their farms. Various constraints on participation of women in the adopted village activities were identified of which inability to leave their children unattended was the most encountered among the respondents. It can be said conclusively that the NAERLS adopted village activities had effect on livelihood of women in the study area. Government should provide more funding to strengthen the NAERLS adopted village project for it to effectively cater to the needs of women in the adopted villages.

The clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa has already disappeared from part of its range in southern Asia; it is classified as vulnerable by IUCN and is on Appendix I of CITES. Little is known about this secretive forest-dweller anywhere in its range, and the sparse information needs to be augmented so that effective conservation measures may be taken if necessary. In early 1986 the senior author travelled through the interior of Malaysian Borneo, staying at villages and timber camps, to assess the status of the species in the region and to find out more about its behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the human capital factor in overcoming poverty in the people of Aceh Province and the role of socio-culture in overcoming poverty in Aceh Province. The poverty rate in Aceh province continues to increase while special autonomy and village funds are increasingly available; this is in contrast to the SDGs program. Quantitative research using panel data analysis with the FEM method as the best analysis tool. The Central Statistics Agency released the data used in the Aceh Province Village Potential in 2011, 2014, and 2018 with the number of observations in this study as many as 19,355 of 6505 villages in Aceh Province. Village-level poverty in Aceh Province can be assessed through human capital and socio-culture dimensions. The findings of the dimensions of human capital show that three variables have a significant effect: the number of private primary schools, private senior high schools, and distance to vocational schools. In comparison, the socio-cultural dimensions of variables that significantly affect cooperation are the availability of cinemas/pay-TV, karaoke/entertainment venues, and public spaces or fields. The quality of community welfare development must receive support from the government in providing facilities that support human capital activities and support from the surrounding community in creating a life based on solidarity or cooperation. Socio-cultural factors are an alternative strategy to poverty alleviation in the regions through a village-level approach.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with a narrow, yet important from the linguistic point of view aspect of the language biographies of representatives of the Mari Diaspora in the Moscow region — the issue of language contacts that the respondents in the sampling or senior members of their family used to maintain in the past with Tatars, and, accordingly, the Mari-Tatar bilingualism and Mari-Tatar-Russian trilingualism that existed among them. Basing herself on the testimonies and recollections of the respondents in the sampling, the author examines the prerequisites for these types of language contacts, on the one hand, and on the other hand, studies the causes that led to the extinction of Mari-Tatar language interactions and the gradual washing out of the Tatar component from the language biographies of Mari people. Among the extralinguistic factors that contributed to the development and maintenance of these language contacts, the following ones were identified: historical and geographical (the alternating location of Mari and Tatar villages or one common village); economic (close trade and economic relations between Mari and Tatars, common labor activities on a collective farm in the Soviet period); cultural (joint cultural and leisure activities). Despite the fact that Tatar was hardly ever used by Mari people outside their day-to-day communication, it performed a number of functions, though: communicative, symbolic, emotional, and that of a secret language. A possible reason for the decline of the language contacts was, according to the data obtained, the weakening of trade and economic ties: the gradual replacement of horse-drawn transport by automobile; poor welfare in rural areas in the 1990s and, as a result, the outflow of population to city areas, the collapse of collective farms and the extinction of a great number of villages. Mari-Tatar language contacts that developed at school (at various stages of school education) or in intra-family communication were equally considered in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: a comprehensive assessment of risk factors and a population risk of arterial hypertension (AH), which is conditioned by them, among indigenous and non-indigenous population of Mountain Shoria. Materials and methods. We conducted a clinical and epidemiological study of the population who live compactly in the areas of Mountain Shoria (Orton and Ust-Kabyrza villages) and in the urban-type village (Sheregesh). These regions of middle mountains are situated in the south of Western Siberia. We examined 1178 inhabitants of the indicated villages by a continuous method, the sampling consisted of adult population (18 years and older). For the estimation of the population risk of AH, conditioned by cardiovascular risk factors, we calculated a load by these factors, consisting of the ratio of the prevalence of these factors in the studied subpopulations to the prevalence in the entire cohort. Results. Among the studied risk factors the greatest contribution to the prevalence of AH in the entire sample has the abdominal obesity - 100 c.u., obesity - 77 c.u., elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol - 73 c.u., carbohydrate metabolism disorders - 59 c.u., elevated indicator of total cholesterol - 56 c.u., lack of physical activity - 54 c.u., dyslipidemia - 53 c.u. The contribution of the other risk factor is fewer, in the range from 1 to 27 c.u. The total value of the load with risk factors in the entire sample is 556 c.u. The minimum values of additional risk of AH in all age groups are registered in Shor men, the maximum values - in women of non-indigenous ethnic group. The direction of changes with age of additional risk of AH in gender groups are different: in men - a slight increase in each successive age group, in women - a pronounced increase of load in 40-64 years followed by a slight increase in the senior age group. Conclusion. The conducted study indicates the differences of population risk of AH associated with cardiovascular risk factors in the ethnic cohorts of Mountain Shoria.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an overview of the main theoretical approaches to the origins of the notions of “basic” and “moral” emotions, and the correlation of emotions and space in such scientific fields as cultural anthropology, sociology, and psychology, starting from the 1980s. Also, the article provides examples of contemporary research which utilizes the visualization of basic and moral emotions by means of applications and computer software as a method of studying the emotional image of the city (cities). In 2017–2022, the author created emotion maps of semi-abandoned Vorzogory and Maloshuika villages and Komsomolsky settlement of the Arkhangelsk region (northern Russia), based on anonymous questionnaires among their permanent senior residents. Mapping of emotions made it possible to visualize problem emotional loci, to reveal the existence of emotional segregation and places of mixed emotions, and to determine the borders of emotional environments. As a result of field observations and analysis of travel blogs, the author concludes that there is a “a conflict of emotions”, i.e. a contradiction between the basic and moral emotions. Not only places of basic emotions, such as anxiety and disgust, but also places of moral emotions, such as pride and shame, require preventive work, aimed at avoiding potential community conflicts, as well as conflicts between the local populations and tourists/migrants, preserving emotional health of senior citizens, and in the end, promoting sustainable development of local communities.

An extensive questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic information and information on water-related activities.The overall prevalence of S. mansoni infection was 228 (23.6%) while S. haematobium infection was practically non-existent 03 (<1%). Infection rates with intestinal nematodes were very high, up to 98% in some villages. Prevalence rates of schistosomiasis varied significantly (P<0.05) between vifiages with the highest (36.2%) recorded in Makenene. Infections with other parasite species encountered were significantly different (P<0.01) while a marked association was observed between water contact activities and the distribution of S. mansoni infections. However, S. mansoni infection intensities were not significantly different (P>0.05) between those with a history of previous infection and treatment and those without.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty alleviation and micro-small enterprises are the essential topics in discussing the paradigm of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Micro and small businesses are considered as a panacea to alleviate poverty. So the relationship between poverty and the existence of micro and small enterprises is theoretically unidirectional. In other words, if poverty increases, micro, and small enterprises will also increase. To see the effect of poverty on micro and small businesses, this study will use the Village Potential Data (Podes) 2018 with a total of 8559 villages/wards in Central Java Province. Apart from poverty, this study will also examine the effect of technology as represented by the number of electricity customers, health from the number of supporting health centers, and finally education represented by the number of Public Elementary Schools (SDN), State Junior High Schools (SMPN) and State Senior High Schools (SMAN). By using multiple regression models, an interesting relationship is found. Those that have a unidirectional relationship to micro and small enterprises are poverty, technology, health, and primary education (SDN). The role of education in the growth of micro and small businesses strengthens Duflo's thesis (2001) on the effect of education on reducing unemployment which earned him the Nobel Prize in 2019. Meanwhile, junior and secondary education for its effect on micro and small enterprises is negative. This showed that the impact of secondary education is that it provides the possibility to work in other sectors outside of micro and small enterprises

Purpose This study aims to construct an integrated social entrepreneur system in the rural area of Hengshan, Taiwan, that could benefit four stakeholders, namely, tourists, business, community and government. Two social entrepreneur cases demonstrate a mutually beneficial situation of lowering the structural unemployment rate, returning young human capital to villages and innovating rural tourism through the activism of service science. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative approach was applied to data obtained from 12 research projects spanning three years. Service experience engineering (SEE) methods were used to conduct a service design for social entrepreneurs in an integrated service system. The service system aimed to innovate rural tourism through the activism of service science. Findings SEE methods explain a series of service design processes that helped our research team start up two social entrepreneur projects as service prototypes to offer service innovation based on cultural creativity to innovate rural tourism. These two social entrepreneurs in rural tourism offer job opportunities to young people and senior citizens alike. In addition, an integrated service system of interdisciplinary knowledge, multi-stakeholders and local resources fulfills various requirements of stakeholders to promote sustainable rural tourism. Research limitations/implications Real action studies are limited in the research on social entrepreneurs. This case study provides research insights into service science and calls for action in practice to change the future of a local village. The results provide the philosophy and knowledge of service science that social entrepreneurs of rural tourism can use in the village. Designing service innovation for rural tourism has shaped its vision toward a sustainable tourism system. Originality/value Few studies have shown that social entrepreneurs could innovate rural tourism. The present study presents an action case through the activism of service science.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the morbidity pattern and health seeking behaviour among the rural elderly population. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in six villages of Telihati union of Gazipur District from February to June 2013. Purposive sampling technique was used to collected data from 249 respondents, aged 60 years and above. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 64.2 (SD±5.6) years. About 70.3% of the respondents were male, majority (47%) respondents were illiterate, 33.3% earned less then ten thousand taka per month. About half (58.2%) of the elderly were still working, among the currently not working respondents majority (49%) were totally dependent. and only 52.6% respondents belonged to joint family. Almost all (98.8%) the respondents had some health problems; among these eye problems (81.7%), musculo-skeletal disorders (66.3%), gastrointestinal disorders (52.4%) and sleeping problems (50.4%) were predominant. Females suffered more from eye problems, musculoskeletal disorder, gastrointestinal disorder and sleeping problems. On the other hand, males suffered more from respiratory and genitorurinary problems. About 61% have a Government hospital or Community clinic nearby their residence, 70 % were satisfied with available health care facilities and 72% was satisfied with treating doctors even then a greater part (35%) was irregular for check-up. Majority (73.5%) was regular about taking treatment, among the irregulars majority (77.3%) was for un-affordability of medicine. Only 53% of the elderly knew names of some old age diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Javadi Hills is the eastern chain of hills comprising Vellore district, Thiruvannamalai district, and Tirupattur district. The people living in these hills call themselves Malayalis. They have nothing to do with the Malayalis living in the state of Kerala. They live in the hills of Yelagiri Hill, Kolli Hills, Sitheri Hills, and Pachaimalai Hills in Tamil Nadu. But marriages happen between the people of these hill areas. They are the majority of the 37 tribes in Tamil Nadu. One hundred and four villages (184) in fourteen panchayats on this hill are the domains of this study. These Malayalis tell folktales as songs and stories. It can be seen that the custom of telling this as stories by men and songs by women can be seen. And they do not tell these stories all the time. It is noteworthy that they sing only during festivals or among researchers who conduct research on this community. Similarly, this review article explains that the songs narrating stories related to them are in circulation only among a few senior tribal people.

The research seeks to give a detailed description of the current state of affairs within the local authorities in Palestine. Notably, the issues that are explicitly addressed are how the pandemic has affected the local authorities; capacity to offer essential services to the citizens. A cross-sectional study involving senior employees at Al-Bireh Municipality, the citizens from Al-Bireh Municipality and head of the Emergency Committee in Palestinian Cities and villages was applied to help gain a proper understanding of the extent to which the pandemic has negatively impacted the local authorities’ abilities to offer services to the citizens. The results have shown that the pandemic has limited delivery of crucial roles such as environmental services, water services, and solid waste elimination, among others. Additionally, the challenges facing the local authorities in the face of this pandemic have been highlighted as shorted finance, human resources and necessary equipment. Finally, a recommendation section is included to address some of the measures that the local authorities can implement to prevent the effects associated with the occurrence of the pandemic.

The growth of advanced society gave birth to independent community groups. Therefore, social change needs to be anticipated so that people are not dictated by change and are able to act affirmatively. Madrasah as an Islamic educational institution is very important for Indonesia's future to contribute in building civil society. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively assimilate the madrasah strategy as an Islamic educational institution in building civil society. This is a qualitative research with a qualitative-naturalistic approach by collecting data from literature research as well as field research, the data obtained are then followed by stages, namely description, data reduction, data selection, data analysis, discussion, and conclusions. The results of the study showed the strategies of madrasah as Islamic Education institutions to build civil society, namely (1) Madrasah lays the most rational basis for taking internal and external steps by instilling moral law, unity in diversity, community-based social system, with the aim of improving the positive image of madrasah in the community. (2) The systemic role of madrasah realizes civil society with some program: first, organizing a school’s community service program (SKN) in the established target villages with the aim of appreciating the knowledge taught in madrasah to the community. second, the development of religious social skills, students will acquire life skills by carrying out various activities that have the spirit of Islam in the community: educating students to play an active role in society, introducing madrasah to the outside world in order to build a society that is democratic, religious, tolerance, independent and tough to face internal and global challenges towards civil society.

Full textAbstract:
The population of individuals who are over 65 years-old in Taiwan has grown from less than 10% in 2008 to 14% in 2018. Since 2008, Taiwan has officially been an aging nation as defined by the World Health Organization. With the current rate of growth, we expect the country to become a super-aged society with 20% of the population being older than 65 years of age in 2025. The challenge Taiwan currently faces in bracing for a rapidly aging society is more difficult than ever. In response to a rapidly aging population, universities have been cooperating with the government since 2008 in promoting a community-based lifelong learning-oriented "active aging" education policy, of which we collectively call "Senior Learning" (“Le-Ling Learning” in Mandarin, meaning “Active Aging Learning”). 12 years into implementing the program, 369 senior learning centers have been established in Taiwan by 2020. These established centers with their extensions can be found throughout Taiwan, including 360 towns and cities as well as 3,175 villages. These centers, supported by local resources (e.g. schools, and non-governmental organizations), provide senior learning courses and activities. There are thousands of community volunteers participating every year, as well as over 200,000 hours of Active Aging Learning course duration prepared by the government; moreover, there are currently 200 instructors trained for teaching these programs. Active Aging Learning program has truly become a “zeitgeist” in Taiwan in response to the elderly society. In caring for the elderly, meaningful educational learning has become the best strategy as reflected by the public.
The purpose of this article is to report on the developmental background, promotion model, effectiveness of, and the prospects of Active Aging Learning in Taiwan. The contents of this article include: (1) the conceptual basis of Active Aging Learning, (2) the practice mode and strategy of Active Aging Learning, (3) the implementation effect of Active Aging Learning, and (4) the future progress of Active Aging Learning. The research data in this article originate from policy documents, both qualitative and quantitative data for the implementation of the Active Aging Learning program, as well as my 12 years of practical observations and experience as the overall project principal investigator. Through reading this article, the readers can quickly understand the implementation process, effectiveness, and problems of senior learning in Taiwan, as well as the key findings of our 12 years of experience. We found that the best strategy for an aging society is not to emphasize "care" in the context of traditional pathology, but to learn in order to "prevent". Educational strategies and talent cultivation are the broad directions of our active efforts.

Introduction Fear of falling has serious implications for health and is an important threat to autonomy. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate risk factors for fear of falling among Palestinian older adults in Hebron district. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among Palestinians > 60 years living in Hebron, West Bank. The Falls Efficacy Scale-International was used to predict falls among Palestinian older adults. Moreover, socio-demographic data, medical history, lifestyle habits, body composition, nutritional status, cognitive status (using the Montreal cognitive assessment tool), and functional status (using activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living scale), the presence of depressive symptoms (using geriatric depression scale), and physical fitness performance (using senior fitness test) were collected through an interview-based questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate approach. Results A total of 200 participants were included in the study; 137 (68.5%) females and 63 (31.5%) males. Mean age was 70.5 ± 5.7 years, ranged from 65 to 98 years old. Fear of falling was significantly higher among older adults with advanced aged, living in villages or camps, low educational level, and being married (p < 0.05). Functional status (ADL and IADL), physical fitness status (timed up and go), and depression symptoms were significantly related to fear of falling (p < 0.05). Conclusion High concern of falling is significantly associated with advanced age, low education level, being married, and living in villages or camps. ADLs were among the factors that had a significant relationship with increased fear of falling. Predictors of fear of falling among Palestinian older adults were IADL scores, body fat percentage, rapid gait speed, timed up and go test. Future studies could investigate further correlates of fear of falling among older adults.

Background: Adolescence period (10-19 years) is a transitional stage. Adolescents constitute 20% of the total population in India. Menarche marks the beginning of a multitude of physical, physiological, and psychological changes in the lives of the girls. During menstruation, hygiene-related practices are of considerable importance because lack of knowledge and poor menstrual hygiene practices makes them prone to reproductive tract infections.Methods: The study was carried out among 13-17 years adolescent girls studying in the Government Senior Secondary Schools at Nagkalan and Sohian Kalan and out of school adolescent girls of the same age group who were residents of these two villages. Base line information was collected from eligible girls and then IEC activities were conducted on menstrual hygiene practices. After three months the impact of IEC activities was assessed and valid conclusions were drawn.Results: 81.13% have attained menarche. 40.6% were using both sanitary pads and cloth, only 7.4% were using only cloth as menstrual absorbent. Almost 3/4th (72.27%) respondents used dumping into open space and pond as method of disposal for used absorbent and after intervention this percentage was decreased to 44.9%.Conclusions: After IEC activities a greater number of adolescent girls were aware regarding safe menstrual hygiene practices.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT)-based health monitoring has emerged as a transformative paradigm in healthcare, especially when it comes to tracking the health of senior citizens. The aging population in India is on the rise, necessitating the development of effective and scalable solutions to address the healthcare needs of the elderly. In this regard, IoT applications present promising prospects by facilitating early identification of medical problems, timely intervention, and continuous, real-time health monitoring. IoT applications can be customized to suit the varying needs of rural and urban population. However, the implementation of IoT applications in the healthcare sector in India comes with its own set of challenges. Issues related to infrastructure, data security, and the privacy concerns need to be carefully addressed to ensure the successful deployment and sustained effectiveness of these technologies. The majority of the Indian population resides in villages; therefore, cost effectiveness is also a major concern for rural population. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of IoT applications for health monitoring and aim to provide insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and technologists to design and implement IoT-based health monitoring systems tailored to the specific needs of the elderly population in India.

Full textAbstract:
Villages are a new, grassroots, consumer-directed model that aims to promote aging in place and prevent unwanted relocations for older adults. In exchange for a yearly membership fee, Villages provide seniors with opportunities for social engagement (social events and classes), civic engagement (member-to-member volunteer opportunities), and an array of support services. In total, 222 Village members were surveyed at intake and 12-month follow-up to examine changes in their confidence aging in place, social connectedness, and health. The strongest positive results were in the domain of confidence, including significantly greater confidence aging in place, perceived social support, and less intention to relocate after 1 year in the Village. As most seniors were in good health and well connected at the time they joined the Village, there were not improvements in health or social connectedness. Authors discuss the importance of longer term, longitudinal studies to examine the effectiveness of Villages in preventing institutionalization over time.
