Abstract

Many problems come to the fore with urbanization, urban transformation, and the increasing elderly population. For urbanization to be realized by taking the elderly population into account, the opinions of the elderly should be considered. This research aims to focus on the approaches of the elderly to the phenomenon of urbanization. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 participants with a semi-structured interview form. Socio-demographic data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 26. In order to support the findings, the prominent statements of the participants were directly quoted. Considering the prominent findings according to the analyzes made, it is seen that the participants need help in terms of transportation, the availability of places to socialize, neighborly relations, and the existing physical conditions of the houses. As a result of the study, suggestions were presented to academicians, field workers, researchers, and local governments working in the field of aging.
