Modelo de habitabilidad agro-rural para centro de estancia del adulto mayor en la parroquia de Malacatos

Abstract

Abstract: The stage of old age has been a study process throughout history. From the vision that the philosophers Plato and Aristotle had about this phase of life, to a more modern vision like that of Simone de Beauvoir, where it is characterized as the stage of wisdom and bodily transformation; On the contrary, today, society sees it as a nuisance and marginalizes the elderly. In this context, we think about developing spaces that form and encourage the connection of this group with nature and in this way contribute to a state of comprehensive well-being and social interaction. In the theory of biophilia, developed by Edward Wilson and other methods such as Masanobuu Fukouka's on agriculture, they can give an effective vision of how nature greatly helps the mental and physical health of people and even more so to those who are going through the stage of old age. For this reason, this study seeks to develop an agro-rural habitability model for senior living centers, which with the help of all these factors and theories that take advantage of nature, contributes to the health, socialization and comprehensive well-being of seniors.
