Seniors, loneliness and the role of municipalities
Original language description
The year 2012 was declared internationally as the Year of Active Ageing. Population ageing is impacting all the world’s developed countries and, in general, it is accepted that the solution to the problems surrounding ageing is to be found at the municipal rather than the central level since the former is directly involved with senior citizens. In addition to the health and economic situation of seniors, a further significant problem affecting the elderly is that of social isolation (loneliness). The aim of the article is to determine the extent of the risk of the social isolation of seniors in the Czech Republic employing data obtained from the Czech Statistical Office, studies conducted abroad and the authors’ own questionnaire survey. It was concluded that the most important role of municipalities with concern to active ageing lies in the coordination of the various interested actors and organisations. Well-tuned measures exert a direct impact on improving the quality of life of both seniors themselves and the local communities in which they live as well as on the balanced development of a socially responsible society.
