“…The teaching and learning of physical skills can provide a great opportunity for adults and older adults to give back to the younger generation, and for children to appreciate the knowledge and skills of their elders. This is a chance for the generations to engage in mutual interests as well as value the assets of other generations [27], an important step in promoting social sustainability. A public residential park can provide unique opportunities for this social interaction.…”

“…When people of different generations are divided, they become susceptible to relying on media portrayals to understand younger and older people [27]. Consequently, those media portrayals lead to misunderstandings, prejudices, stereotyping, and overall worsening of social connections between people of different generations [27]. Families and communities will struggle if people negatively perceive those who are different from themselves.…”

“…To thrive, societies need to engage and value the assets each generation has to offer. Furthermore, when people of different generations recognize their mutual concerns and interests, they are in a better position to develop comprehensive plans that engage and support all people [27]. Policymakers in many countries are giving renewed attention to intergenerational practice as a method of counteracting stereotypical negative perceptions of aging and overcoming the physical and social segregation of generations [28,29].…”

Social sustainability includes aspects of equity and is associated with two of the United Nations Sustainable Development goals focused on promoting good health and well-being for all ages. Yet, this pillar of sustainability is considered the least understood, as compared to economic and environmental components. To address this, our study focused on intergenerational engagement within residential neighborhood parks to foster social sustainability and encourage healthy and active living. This study included an intercept survey with open-ended questions of 386 adult park users within 12 parks in South-East Queensland, one of Australia’s fastest-growing areas. Approximately two-thirds (68%) of adult participants visited the park with one or more children, primarily to use the playground. Further thematic analysis shows that intergenerational interactions predominantly include adults playing with or teaching children. However, intergenerational interactions were limited in numerous situations, such as when adults accompany older children. This paper concludes with a discussion on potential ways to increase intergenerational interactions in parks to promote health and well-being for all ages, thus increasing social sustainability within residential developments.

“…Existing research has also looked at the dimensions and resources that may facilitate intergenerational relationships in aging societies, both within familial (Katz 2009) and non-familial contexts (Kaplan et al 2016). A good illustration of the latter is the growing interest on intergenerational shared sites, i.e., centers where services to unrelated people from different generations are provided under the same roof.…”

“…A educação intergeracional é colocada em prática através de atividades e programas intergeracionais. E a literatura tem apontado como fator chave e como uma característica comum da maioria dos programas deste tipo o facto de os indivíduos terem interesses mútuos e compartilhados (Martin, Springate & Atkinson, 2010;Sánchez, Kaplan, & Saéz, 2010;O´Neil, 2016;Kaplan, Sánchez & Hoffman, 2017;Villas-Boas, Oliveira, Ramos & Montero, 2016). Os interesses garantem, em certa medida, a motivação para a participação nestas práticas, assim como a continuidade no tempo -fator imprescindível para atingir objetivos de aprendizagem e a construção de relações intergeracionais.…”

This article presents the validation study of the Questionnaire of interests for intergenerational practice (QIIP), which aims to contribute to the study of interests on a population level as well as supporting the development and implementation of intergenerational activities and programs through its identification. The design of the study is correlational and cross-generational. The QIIP was applied to 385 residents of Oporto, divided into three age groups. The instrument showed to be valid and revealed good internal consistency concerning the identification of the interests of the sample studied and can be analyzed either by dimension of interest, or by activity item of interest, depending on the goals of intergenerational practices that need to be developed. Upon analysis by dimension and age group, it was found that the Dimension Caring/Protecting and the Dimension Culture refer to common interests, shared among the three age groups. On the other hand, it was observed that the younger group differs from the other age groups in the Dimension Art and in the Dimension "Handiwork", but no significant differences were found in both dimensions between middle-aged adults and older adults. In the Dimension Use of New Technologies, significant differences were registered among all age groups, decreasing in interest as the age increases.
