Overview
Publications

Using the notion of life-space and mixed methods, this study aims to establish the impact of environment, health and social determinants on life spaces in community-dwelling older adults in selected neighbourhoods in Singapore. It will seek to determine differences between older adults’ perception and urban planning features as well as translate a sustainable technological platform to track their life-space and community mobility.
