Urban Space and Mobility System of the Older People

Abstract. The problem of accommodating traffic is important when its inappropriateness is one of the main problems of older people and now most of the public places, passages, streets, parks and, entertainment places are inappropriate for them and they cannot easily enter the community and use facilities. If we do not consider urban poor conditions as well as physical and psychological problems that many older people suffer from at the age disability, in the next few decades the older people which at that time will account for about 25% of the total population may be faced with the problem of the presence in the city and we will see social disability crisis of this social stratum. Many countries do not forget their elder population and they even have special plans to take advantage from the capabilities of this group, their active participation in the community and a sense of satisfaction with life. But unfortunately in Iran the only considerations to this group are in the field of medicine and psychiatry and less attention have been paid to the issues of urban elderlies; this issue and lack of accommodative motion spaces for older people particularly make them incapable of entering the urban environments. Incapability that not caused by older people physical problems. In this article we try to answer to these questions: what are the features of a suitable street for older people?; With which strategies can we make acceptant urban spaces for older people?; and given the current situation, special studies, research, plans, principles, laws and regulations for existing spaces and mobility system will be offered to look seriously to the older people and their concerns, so that to prevent social disability crisis of them as an important populous age group and convert it to a social potential.
