“…In particular, the free ride program for senior citizens aged 65 or older in Korea makes them likely to choose alternative transportation instead of personnel driving. In this study, older adults living in six residential areas with metros may have easily chosen to stop driving because of the high accessibility, convenience, and low cost of public transportation [ 31 , 32 ]. One study reported that older drivers in rural areas were driving longer than those in urban areas because of limited transportation support [ 33 ].…”

Background: As the elderly population and the number of older drivers grow, public safety concerns about traffic accidents involving older drivers are increasing. Approaches to reduce traffic accidents involving older drivers without limiting their mobility are needed. This study aimed to investigate the driving cessation (DC) rate among older Korean adults and predictors of DC based on the comprehensive mobility framework. Method: In this cross-sectional study, data from 2970 to 10,062 older adults over 65 years old from the 2017 National Survey of Elderly People were analyzed in April 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictors of DC. Results: Residential area, an environmental factor, was a strong predictor of DC (Odds Ratio (OR) 2.21, 95% Confidential Interval (CI) 1.86–2.62). Older drivers living in an area with a metro system were 2.21 more likely to stop driving than those living in an area without a metro system. Other demographic, financial, psychosocial, physical, and cognitive variables also predicted DC. Conclusion: Environmental factors were strong predictors of older adults’ DC. Therefore, political and environmental support, such as the provision of accessible public transportation, is essential to increase the DC rate among older adults to increase public safety without decreasing their mobility.

“…Pentingnya pendidikan terkait topik kelanjutusiaan bagi masyarakat umum dan tenaga kesehatan diketahui dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan cara pandang yang lebih positif dalam rekognisi terhadap penuaan yang sehat (E. J. Kim, Kim, & Kim, 2020). Selain itu, sosialisasi konsep menua bagi masyarakat dapat berimplikasi positif terhadap kebutuhan lansia akan proteksi sosial dan akses terhadap pelayanan kesehatan (United Nations, 2019).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought several challenges in managing the health of vulnerable groups, especially older adults. Health problems that arise and are experienced by older adults during the pandemic, one of which is psychosocial disorders caused by changes in daily activities, health services, social support, and perceptual disturbances experienced by older adults. Health workers are one of the parties that play a role in promoting healthy behavior and health information to vulnerable populations who often face inequality in the health sector. There are still many nurses who have minimal knowledge regarding the management of older adult health. The positive attitude shown when performing nursing care for the older adults group can be an opportunity to implement community service related to the concept of health in this group. The implementation of community service to 545 nurses was carried out on Saturday, August 14, 2021, through zoom media. The total number of nurses who participated was spread across 21 provinces in Indonesia. The results of the Wilcoxon test activities obtained the value of Sig. = 0.000 (< 0.05), which means that there are benefits to be gained from community service activities to increase nurses' understanding of the psychosocial needs of older adults during the pandemic. The role of health workers is one of the key factors in preventing the decline in psychosocial conditions in older adults. Therefore, activities aimed at increasing the understanding and knowledge of health workers related to problems in older adults need to be carried out sustainably and massivelyABSTRAKPandemi COVID-19 membawa beberapa tantangan dalam penatalaksanaan kesehatan kelompok rentan khususnya lanjut usia. Gangguan kesehatan yang muncul dan dialami oleh lansia selama pandemi salah satunya adalah gangguan psikososial yang diakibatkan karena adanya perubahan aktivitas sehari-hari, pelayanan kesehatan, dukungan sosial hingga gangguan persepsi yang dialami lansia. Tenaga kesehatan diketahui menjadi salah satu pihak yang berperan meningkatkan perilaku sehat pada populasi rentan yang sering kali menghadapi ketidakadilan di bidang kesehatan. Banyak perawat memiliki pengetahuan minim tentang penatalaksanaan kesehatan lansia. Namun. mereka bersikap positif ketika melakukan asuhan keperawatan. Situasi ini menjadi kesempatan dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat terkait konsep kesehatan pada kelompok lansia. Pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan kepada 545 perawat dilakukan pada Sabtu, 14 Agustus 2021 melalui media zoom. Total perawat yang menjadi peserta tersebar dari 21 provinsi di Indonesia. Hasil uji Wilcoxon kegiatan didapatkan nilai Sig. = 0.000 (< 0.05) yang menunjukkan ada manfaat yang didapat dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan pemahaman perawat terhadap kebutuhan psikososial lansia di masa pandemi. Peran tenaga kesehatan menjadi salah satu faktor kunci dalam mencegah penurunan kondisi psikososial pada lansia, oleh karena itu kegiatan-kegiatan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengetahuan tenaga kesehatan terkait permasalahan yang terjadi pada lansia perlu untuk dilakukan secara berkelanjutan dan masif.

“…The shrinking and aging of the Japanese population, coupled with continuous polarization effects towards urban centers, have led to a clear dissolution of the countryside [55,56]. Population problems in the countries near Japan are the same [57], as shown by Hwang et al [58]. Lastly, extraversion has played a moderating role in the relationship between suitable behavior and activity involvement.…”

After the recession in Japan in the 1990s, Japanese art exhibitions began to appear. The purpose of these exhibitions was to revitalize these areas through the presentation of art (attracting visitors and tourists). Correspondingly, this study explores the significance of exhibition-driven tourism in Japan. The Echigo–Tsumari Art Triennial (ETAT) was used as a case to study how exhibition-driven tourism has impacted sustainable tourism, economics, and the population. The current paper collected panel data from 1900 to 2018. These panel data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and a correlation analysis (a one-way ANOVA and a Pearson correlation analysis in SPSS26). The empirical analysis showed that the Echigo–Tsumari Art Triennial (exhibition-driven tourism) had positive impacts on sustainable tourism, economics, and the population; its correlations with Niigata were also clear. This study generated results that are valuable from both academic and industry perspectives (exhibition-driven tourism), as this field has not been extensively researched. The current paper also presents the theoretical and practical implications of the statistical results.
