摘要

為促進高齡者的健康幸福，許多國家政府致力於營造高齡友善的環境，以提高高齡者社會參與度，讓高齡者喜歡出外走動、保持身心健康。然而，高齡者在參與休閒活動或旅遊時，遭遇各種阻礙的因素，導致個人不願或不能參與活動。常見的阻礙因素，包括：時間、性別角色、收入、健康、居住地與生命週期等。有鑑於此議題在高齡化社會的重要性，本研究透過文獻資料檢視高齡友善的意涵、市場形成背景與聚焦於友善高齡休閒旅遊的做法。研究發現日本對於高齡者休閒旅遊的做法，包括：高齡友善旅館登錄制度、針對身體行動不便者提供設備與資訊的服務、提供高齡者的看護旅遊服務、協助高齡行動不便者使用輪椅觀光與提供旅遊協助、高齡友善旅遊助理員的檢定考試與其他相關措施等。這些經驗可作為台灣推動高齡友善城市與旅遊的參考。

In recent years, many countries have been making efforts to build an age-friendly environment to encourage older adults to actively participate in social activities for physical and mental health as well as the quality of life. Unfortunately, many older adults face various obstacles and unfavorable factors when going on a tour or participating in other leisure activities. As a result, individuals are either unwilling or unable to participate, or unable to derive satisfaction, pleasure, and a relaxed leisure experience from participation in these activities. Common obstacles include time, gender-based issues, income, health status, place of residence, and life cycle stage. This study focuses on the implications and related concepts of being age-friendly as well as efforts to promote age-friendly environment in Taiwan and other countries. Information on the relevant literature, including age-friendly city guidelines published by the World Health Organization (WHO), is compiled and reviewed with the focus on suitable, favorable leisure activities for older adults. Finally, based on the findings of the study, policy recommendations are made for the implementation of age-friendly leisure tourism.
