Assesing Settlements and neighborhood centers impact on healthy ageing and dependancy reduction

Juliette Michel

Résumé

Settlements and neighborhood centers (SNC) are structures of global animation, acting locally and adapting their efforts to population needs. Through their different actions, from gym class to associative governance, they also aimed to be public health proximity stakeholder and part of the construction of their population “healthy ageing”. In order to assess more precisely the ways in which they impact populations, and more specifically elderly, and territories, we need to answer the following problematic:

How can we estimate their processes efficiency, at multiple scales (from individual to neighborhood to towns communities), and characterized them to describe those phenomena and assess their scope of impacts in term economic gain as well as an element of well being and “well ageing” on their territories? 

Focusing on the SNC of the Pays de la Loire region, this study aimed to prove whether or not the impact of SNC actions is real and to build a framework to estimate it. It is not easy to estimate impact of such diverse structure. Indeed, SNC can be an association as well as a communal service, acting on a single neighborhood or multiple towns. Moreover, they do not specifically address age-related questions. Assessing their impact thus require to build a specific methodology that would at core of the presentation.

As part of a transdisciplinary project, large part of the methodology, when not the result of co-working, will treat the result through different disciplinary point of view: geography, sociology and medicine. In order to obtain result as accurate as possible, we will use both qualitative and quantitative data to qualify impact of a pre-built sample of SNC. Our methodology aim to assess economic impacts (based on “input-outpout” analysis), social impacts (based on social capital studies), territorial impacts (as a stakeholder in local development) and Health impact (through social involvement and SNC role in local “space of well-being” (Fleuret & Atkinson 2007)).
