Abstract:

As the population continues to age, there is increasing academic attention to the construction of an elderly-friendly social environment. Guided by active aging, it is crucial to adapt transportation infrastructure to the needs of the elderly and implement corresponding service management measures. Given China's significant elderly population, the urgent need arises to create age-friendly public transportation environments. Currently, several challenges exist, including the exploration of transportation planning for the elderly, traditional planning's lack of responsiveness to diverse travel patterns among the elderly, and the necessity to strengthen governance measures in establishing age-friendly public transportation environments. This study investigates the developmental process, key considerations, and governance strategies of transportation service planning for vulnerable groups in Florida. It explores the characteristics of participatory planning processes, differentiated transportation service strategies, and systematic governance measures, aiming to provide valuable insights into China's efforts in constructing an age-friendly public transportation environment. Taking into account China's national context and the current state of population aging, the study proposes the following three recommendations: ①Develop transportation service plans that cater to the specific needs of the elderly, with a focus on creating a favorable policy environment. This involves establishing a collaborative, multi-level planning and governance system for vulnerable groups, promoting the integration of "age-friendly" design and "elderly-assistance" services. ②Fully consider regional and individual differences, tailor construction targets and governance strategies accordingly, and propose refined transformation and governance approaches. ③Advocate for a governance model that combines "full participation" and "technological empowerment," effectively addressing the needs of the elderly. This includes enhancing the involvement of the elderly in the creation of age-friendly public transportation and achieving a cooperative and shared governance approach to age-friendly transportation.

摘要：

随着人口老龄化程度的加深，建设老年友好型社会环境得到学界的广泛关注。在积极老龄化的导向下，交通设施建设需要适应老年人的需求，并采取相应的服务管理措施。中国老年人口基数庞大，适老化公交环境亟须建设，目前存在面向老年人的交通规划尚处于探索状态、传统规划缺乏对老年群体出行异质性的应对措施、老年友好型公交环境的营造需要强化治理手段等问题。本文通过梳理佛罗里达州弱势群体交通服务规划的发展历程、编制要点、治理策略，研究其全程参与式规划流程、差异化交通服务策略、体系化治理措施的特点，以期为中国实现构建老年友好型公共交通环境提供借鉴意义。结合中国国情和人口老龄化现状，本文提出以下三点启示：①构建面向老年人需求的交通服务规划，重视政策软环境的创造，建立多层级、上下协作的弱势群体交通规划和治理体系，促进“适老”设计和“助老”服务的融合发展；②充分考虑地区、个人差异化的特征，因地制宜地制定建设指标和治理策略，提出精细化的改造和治理策略；③推进“全程参与”+“技术赋能”的治理模式，切实满足老年人的需求，加强老年群体在营造老年友好型公共交通的参与度，实现老年友好型交通的共建共治。
