Abstract(s)
Sabe-se que o envelhecimento populacional é um dos principais desafios do século XXI.
Paralelamente às transformações na estrutura familiar e à perda de algumas funções
tradicionalmente cumpridas pela família, os idosos tornaram-se um dos grupos mais
vulneráveis da nossa sociedade. Devido a estas alterações vividas no seio das famílias, é cada
vez mais importante disponibilizar respostas que vão ao encontro das necessidades sentidas
pelos idosos e sobretudo que promovam um envelhecimento ativo, contribuindo para a
manutenção da sua independência e autonomia.
Este trabalho explora conceitos como o "Ageing in place", o "Coliving" e o “Cohousing”
associados a uma alternativa residencial moderna, considerando as novas formas de interação
social e os benefícios sociais que trazem esta opção de moradia.
Através da metodologia qualitativa, foi investigada uma experiência de coliving sénior
na zona norte de Portugal, enquanto projeto inovador desenvolvido. Para a caracterização desta
iniciativa, recorreu-se à realização de entrevistas com os profissionais envolvidos no projeto e
também com os residentes das casas partilhadas. Embora esta iniciativa tenha sido criada e
gerida por organizações sociais externas e ter sido desenvolvida por entidades públicas, este
projeto é uma alternativa viável como soluções residências para idosos autónomos. Além disso,
visa a promoção do um envelhecimento em casa e na comunidade bem como colmatar
problemas como a solidão e o isolamento social tão característicos deste grupo social.
The aging population is known to be one of the main challenges of the 21st century. Alongside the transformations in family structure and the loss of some functions traditionally fulfilled by the family, the elderly have become one of the most vulnerable groups in our society. Due to these changes within families, it is increasingly important to provide responses that meet the needs felt by the elderly and, above all, that promote active aging, contributing to the maintenance of their independence and autonomy. This work explores concepts such as "Ageing in Place," "Coliving," and "Cohousing" associated with a modern residential alternative, considering new forms of social interaction and the social benefits that this housing option brings. Using a qualitative methodology, a senior coliving experience in the northern region of Portugal was investigated as an innovative project. To characterize this initiative, interviews were conducted with the professionals involved in the project as well as with the residents of the shared houses. Although this initiative was created and managed by external social organizations and developed by public entities, it represents a viable alternative for residential solutions for autonomous elderly individuals. Additionally, it aims to promote aging at home and within the community, as well as to address issues such as loneliness and social isolation, which are so characteristic of this social group.
