Mateja Erce Paoli and Dr. Michael Burnard from InnoRenew CoE recently published a new scientific article »Linking Older Adults’ Psychosocial Well-Being With Objective and Perceived Environments in Slovenia,« in the journal HERD: Health Environments Research & Design Journal.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the link between psychosocial well-being, and the built environment as Europe’s aging population is facing resource loss, loneliness, and social isolation, making psychosocial well-being a priority. Therefore, a well-designed environment can help compensate for lost resources, while poor design may harm health, highlighting environmental quality as key to successful aging.
