Uwagi metodyczne do badań nad postawami mieszkaniowymi osób starszych – polski kontekst i zagraniczne aspiracje
Methodology of research on housing attitudes of the elderly – polish context and foreign inspirations

Summary/Abstract: The Government Population Council in Poland in the publications draws attention to the problem of the aging of Polish society and its residential context. The Recommendations for Long-term Senior Policy in Poland for 2014–2020 have a very general character, and their specificity requires gathering data on the needs and attitudes of the elderly. Previous publications of Polish authors indicate that architectural knowledge concerning counseling for the elderly and purely technical solutions has been collected and widely disseminated. There is a lack of economic and social solutions, and knowledge about these needs is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the article is to present the solutions used in the study of seniors’ housing attitudes based on the example of Australia. They are worth analyzing and disseminating in Poland – mainly due to their economic value (fiscal instruments, subsidies for seniors enabling liquidity increase in the real estate market of large apartments). They were cited along with recommendations for Polish researchers.
