Journal of Aging and Environment

Journal overview

The Journal of Aging and Environment is an interdisciplinary forum for original empirical and theoretical research in environmental gerontology conducted in design disciplines (e.g., architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, interior design), social and health sciences. We publish high quality research that provides empirical evidence and informs policy and practice in development of appropriate and suitable environments for older adults.

This journal’s articles are useful for scholars, researchers, policymakers, design professionals, developers and the general public in understanding the interrelationship between older adults and the built and natural environments. We publish research on a range of settings including home environment, housing, neighbourhood, public spaces and healthcare settings.

The journal covers:

Original empirical research on environmental topics that primarily involve older adults;
Theoretical research and critical or analytical reviews in aging and environment;
Case studies of successful practitioner experiences on development of suitable environments for older people;
Refinement of existing methods and/or development of new ones for evaluating the behavioral, programmatic and organizational aspects of environments;
Translation of research findings into more usable informational modes for researchers, practitioners and policymakers.

Peer Review Policy: All articles submitted to this journal undergo a “double-anonymous” peer review by one to three referees, one of which will be the editor or designate.
