Nesta dissertação apresenta-se um estudo de caso em que se discutem e refletem, a forma de ocupação dos tempos livres dos idosos da Vila de Avis.
O envelhecimento é considerado numa perspetiva multifacetada, afetando o indivíduo a nível não só biológico, como intelectual e social. A forma como o processo de envelhecimento é encarado por cada indivíduo será assim um ponto fulcral, designadamente através do assumir de um conjunto de atitudes que podem favorecer (ou não) uma expectativa de vida ativa.
As normas, valores e critérios da sociedade que o indivíduo possui condicionam adicionalmente o modo como a pessoa idosa perceciona a última etapa da sua vida, e o modo como é capaz de transformar vulnerabilidades em oportunidades de crescimento.
Após a entrada na reforma as pessoas idosas são colocadas face a face com inúmeras situações que potenciam o crescimento de um sentimento de vulnerabilidade, muitas vezes percebido e não real. Este quadro conduz à inatividade, contraproducente à expectativa desejável de um envelhecimento bem-sucedido.
As pessoas idosas demonstram interesse pela ocupação dos tempos livres que não demostravam, outras gerações de idosos, este interesse, transmite uma imagem de vitalidade para todos os que as rodeiam. Embora o acesso à prática regular de atividades ocupacionais seja uma experiência nova para alguns indivíduos desta faixa etária, é inegável que pode representar um fator importante para viabilizar a concretização de realizações pessoais que de outra forma seriam de concretização mais complexa.
