Abstract: Sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity affect the health of a large part of the world's population, being
the cause of between 4 and 5 million deaths per year (World Health Organization, 2020). This work aims the
creation of a collaborative digital mapping of public spaces which are favourable to increase healthy habits
and physical activities for the elderly in the city, as well as its potential as a tool to promote these activities.
The webGIS platform used serves as a tool for mapping the location of outdoor places for physical activity
and its features. This public participatory geographic information system (PPGIS) provides information that
can be consulted and uploaded after registration. It not only provides information about the places where
elderly people can do physical exercise, but also to the local administrations about how urban spaces are used
and their problems for promoting active ageing. One of the main contributions of this work is the study of
urban spaces from a very specific approach: their ability to meet the needs of the elderly and to encourage the
practice of physical exercise and relationships with other people. From the methodological point of view, the
most innovative aspect is the qualitative work based on surveys and interviews with older people to find out
their specific needs and demands regarding public spaces.
1 INTRODUCTION
Although there has been a significant development of
sport as a form of leisure activity in recent years,
physical activity in people's daily lives (home, work,
shopping, mobility) has decreased considerably
(Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2013). This
reality, together with bad habits such as inadequate
nutrition or smoking, contributes directly or indirectly
to the appearance of diseases such as
hypercholesterolemia, hypertension or obesity. In
2016, obesity affected 13% of the world's adult
population and overweight 39% (OMS, 2021).
According to the report on physical inactivity and
sedentary lifestyles in the Spanish adult population,
this inactivity is responsible for 13.4% of deaths per
year in Spain, causing more than 52,000 deaths.
Besides, and according to the same report, Spain is

one of the most physically inactive countries in the
European Union (Mayo et al., 2017). This problem is
most evident in the case of elderly people, often with
the added problem of unwanted loneliness.
In response to this problem, the new information
and communication technologies (ICTs) can be a tool
that can promote a healthier lifestyle. This can
encourage the practice of physical exercise and help
to connect people to carry out activities in a collective
way. Previous studies have analysed the role of ICTs
as tools to promote healthy habits and active ageing
among local populations (Cornax-Martín et al.,
2020). However, in many cases, the implementation
of this type of strategy is conditioned by the digital
divide suffered by the current generations of elderly
people (Jones et al., 2015). Many daily activities that
may seem simple at first turn out to be more complex
as age and cognitive decline progresses. Therefore,

the implementation of technological solutions are
often difficult (Procter et al., 2014).
This work focuses on the creation and study of a
collaborative mapping of public spaces that promote
healthy habits and physical activities for older people
in the city, as well as its potential to publicise these
activities. For this purpose, a webGIS platform allows
the representation of physical or sporting activities
(through lines or points) and their geolocation in the
urban environment with the addition of written or
visual information on the quality of urban spaces.
Bailén-Miraflores (district of the city of Málaga)
is proposed as a case study for this mapping. This
urban environment has been chosen because it is an
ageing area with a high number of elderly people
living alone. Moreover, it is a neighbourhood that has
many accessibility barriers and a lack of green spaces.
2 STATE OF ART
In relation to digital tools to promote healthy habits
and the practice of health-enhancing physical activity
(HPA)-, two types of platforms can be distinguished:
the self-care and information platforms.
2.1 Self-Care Platforms
This type of platforms are based on user self-care. Its
main function is to monitor the user's activity and
transfer the data to experts or carers. It also offers
information on activities, individualised
entertainment or healthy lifestyle habits.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, recent studies
have looked at the development of digital platforms
with new approaches to improve the mental and
physical health of the elderly (Ammar et al., 2021).
Many of the current platforms are designed to
promote physical exercise and the use of ICTs among
the older population, but directly linked to the expert
care agents - family or healthcare - of each user
(Wang, 2023; Wu et al., 2017).
With these characteristics, we find two examples
of platforms. On the one hand, the Ehcobutler project
studies the creation of an open digital platform to help
older people to live active and healthy lives
(ehcobutler, 2015). The main objective is to help the
elderly with cognitive impairment and to promote
health and well-being. In this way, the application has
different levels of intervention to help them to stay
active, healthy and independent, maintaining a good
quality of life.
On the other hand, the wellCO Horizon 2020
project is investigating the possibilities of creating a
platform for smartphone or tablet to provide
personalised advice, guidance and monitoring of
older people for the adoption of daily routines
(WellCO, 2018). This platform is designed to use
non-invasive technologies to promote and monitor
the physical, cognitive, social and mental well-being
of each user. In this way, the monitoring is followed
by a multidisciplinary team of experts and close
caregivers. This application works as a virtual
assistant that will support older people in their self-
care, improving the quality of life in their own social
and territorial context through new technologies.
2.2 Information Platforms
This type of platforms focuses on providing
information on activities and routines that promote
active ageing. Their aim is to increase the meeting of
older people and the amplification of their contact
networks. We can find two types of platforms
according to their management: governmental and
association platforms.
2.2.1 Governmental Platforms
These are public platforms that emerge from the
administrations to promote active ageing and provide
information on activities in the city related to the
elderly.
In this area, the platform En Buena edad offers
services from the categories of Health, Safety,
Activities and Learn more (Junta de Andalucía, 2018).
This website allows to disseminate the activities
related to these categories in the region of Andalusia
(Spain) with the aim of connecting the older
population. Due to the mobility limitations of the
Covid-19, the platform Andalucía Muévete was
created as a digital tool with videos and sports
routines for the physical exercise of the elderly from
their homes (Junta de Andalucía, 2021).
2.2.2 Association Platforms
The practices resulting from associations, citizens'
initiatives and activities linked to active ageing
reduce the feeling of loneliness among older people.
Different associations have emerged with the aim of
combating the loneliness of this sector of the
population. To this end, many of them have
developed digital platforms to create networks and
connect members. Although most programmed face-
to-face and dynamic activities, due to the pandemic,
implementations have been developed to encourage
virtual meetings, thus promoting the use of ICTs and
social networks among older people.

209
The Village is an example of a citizens' initiative that
has been implemented in the United States. This
association emerged thanks to grouping of elderly
residents to access certain services and activities
(Scharlach et al., 2012). The success of the model and
its expansion has generated a web-based system
adaptable to the needs of each association (Village to
Village, 2014). These web-based systems have
enabled virtual meetings and activities in the
pandemic (Galucia et al., 2021). Beacon Hill Village,
the original Village, provides its users with a calendar
of virtual activities, such as online yoga or exercise
sessions.
Another example is the Grandes Vecinos
platform, which provides a collaborative network
offering different services of activities and
accompaniment among the registered elderly
(Grandes Vecinos et al., 2020). This platform works
as a social network that allows the exchange of
experiences between neighbours and seniors who
request a specific activity such as walking or physical
exercise.
3 BAILÉN-MIRAFLORES AS
CASE STUDY
Bailén-Miraflores (with a population of 62,543
inhabitants) is one of the district with larger number
of elderly people in the city of Malaga. Specific
programmes have recently been set up to combat
unwanted loneliness, such as the Siempre
Acompañados programme by entities such as Cruz
Roja, La Caixa and the support of the local
administration. Therefore, there are some identified
problems in these neighbourhoods: unwanted
loneliness and health problems linked to sedentary
lifestyles and lack of physical activity, among others.
In addition to these problems, there are others related
to the habitat and qualities of the physical
environment, such as the high density of some of the
neighbourhoods (exceeding 240 houses/ha), the lack
of public spaces and green areas for a very large
population in quantitative terms, or the poor state of
the housing (communal housing developments since
1950).
4 OBJETCS AND METHOD
The main objective of this work is to build a
collaborative mapping of the physical activities
carried out by the elderly in the urban environment,
as well as the representation of these spaces. The aim
of the mapping is to:
- To create a tool to inform elderly people about
the physical and sporting activities they can do
in public spaces of the neighbourhoods where
they live in.
- To understand some of the physical conditions
of urban spaces that encourage or discourage
outdoor physical activity. This can be useful for
studying the relationship between urban
planning, design and health.
- To offer information to the local administration
about which spaces are used for the practice of
HPA by the elderly.
4.1 Methodology
A phased methodology has been developed for the
elaboration of the “Cartography of Healthy Activities
and Healthy Spaces” as well as the achievement of
the abovementioned objectives.
4.1.1 Identification of Accessibility Barriers
through Fieldwork and Collaborative
Mapping
Through field work based on direct observation, a
visit to the area is carried out in collaboration with
students from the School of Architecture - University
of Malaga, in order to identify and map the
architectural barriers of public spaces. For this
purpose, 3 itineraries are carried out that cover a large
part of the area, the architectural barriers are
identified, classified by categories and registered in
an open access digital platform, based on the use of
geographic information systems. This platform
(felt.com) allows users to work collaboratively and
share information through a webGIS viewer. More
details about this practice and academic collaboration
can be accessed in (https://n9.cl/zhkvy9).
4.1.2 Identification of Sport and HPA
Activities Carried out by Elderly by
Direct Observation of Urban Spaces
A route that includes at least ten urban spaces (parks,
squares and streets) to identify activities and meeting
places is defined. Two visits are made to the different
urban spaces on different days and at different times
(one in the morning and the other in the afternoon,
and on weekdays and weekends). The different
physical and sporting activities carried out by older
people (the age of 60 years is established for this
consideration) are recorded in planimetries, and at the
ICT4AWE 2023 - 9th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health
210
same time photographs and videos are taken as
complementary materials to analyse the activities and
spaces later on.
4.1.3 Characterisation of Urban Spaces
through Surveys and Direct
Observation Method
The surveys are carried out among elderly people
who exercise in urban areas including the following
questions:
- When the activity takes place (whether
occasionally or frequently).
- Description of the activity and the urban
environment.
- Characteristics for which the location is chosen
(the answer can be oriented on comfort
parameters: natural areas, vegetation, adequate
urban furniture, etc.).
- Needs for improvements in order to carry out the
activity.
Site-specific characteristics are identified in the
observations:
- The type of activities.
- The existence of specific facilities for these
activities.
- The existence of adequate furniture or good
maintenance (state of the pavement, cleanliness,
etc.).
- The feeling of being a comfortable and safe
space.
- Other parameters of environmental comfort
(vegetation, shadows, noise...).
4.1.4 Realization of Focus Groups
With the aim of including the opinion of elderly
people in the identification and evaluation of public
spaces for healthy activities, a qualitative analysis
with a participatory approach is carried out. Some
focus groups are conducted in the area of work
according to the Vancouver Protocol (WHO, 2007).
A total of 10 focused groups with between 10 and 12
participants, according to Myers (1998), were made.
The sessions lasted between one and two hours, and a
total of 111 older people participated, with the age of
participation in the focus groups being 55 years or
older. The topics covered were related to the type of
routines and healthy habits that the elderly carry out
outdoors.
4.1.5 Graphic Representation of the
Activities and Their Geolocation
through the Use of a webGIS Platform
The Activa Malaga webGIS platform
(www.activamalaga.com) is used as a collaborative
map for the representation of outdoor sport activities
by users in the urban space of the city of Malaga. For
more information about the platform, previous works
by the authors (Cornax Martín et al., 2018) can be
accessed. The different physical exercise activities
can be represented by points or lines. The former
represents the specific urban areas where they are
carried out; the latter shows the routes such as streets.
Both geometries can be openly consulted on the web
or mobile. However, users can also upload unmapped
physical activities after registering with an e-mail
account. In this sense, each user will be able to
manage the information provided, so that data will be
able to be edited or even deleted, as informal sporting
activities in public spaces are dynamic in nature.
The registration of these activities includes the
completion of some fields to be defined by the user:
name of the activity, type of sport (e.g., running),
timetable, description of the activity, and qualities
and improvements of the urban space in a description
box. In addition, a photo or picture as visual
information can be attached to the fact sheet.
Moreover, sporting events are mapped by points with
the following information: event name, e-mail
contact, webpage, description, location, organizer,
date together with the start and end time. They only
appear once loaded until the end of their
programming, so the map is dynamic showing future
sporting events all over the city.
5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
5.1 Identification of Accessibility
Barriers in Public Spaces
Through fieldwork and the comments in the focus
groups, the accessibility barriers in the
neighbourhood were recorded. Collaborative
mapping has made it possible to geolocate the
unevenness, state of the pavement, lack of contrast in
the materiality and obstacles. Of all of them,
unevenness, excessive slopes and insufficient
pavement dimensions are the main problems we have
found in general.

5.2 Identification of Accessibility
Barriers in Public Spaces
After asking some local agents and elderly people in
focus groups, an itinerary has been defined for
observations on urban spaces. An analysis of existing
uses and facilities was also carried out in order to
identify the most frequented areas. From this
itinerary, 8 urban spaces for meeting, resting and/or
practising HPA by elderly people have been
identified. The different activities detected have been
registered on the platform (www.activamalaga.com)
corresponding to the following types:
(a) Walk for elderly people (1, 6 and 7).
Activity carried out individually or generally
accompanied by a caregiver.
(b) HPA in a fitness park (7). Activity carried
out individually or in groups of 2 people generally. It
should be noted that only 1 of the fitness parks (out of
the 3 visited one) was used by elderly people.
(c) Petanque (Point 8 and 4). Activity carried
out in groups.
(d) Yoga (Point 8). Group activity organised by
the association on a regular basis.
(e) Rest in a bench area (Point 1, 6, 7 and 8).
Activity generally carried out in groups of 2 or 3
people.
5.3 Characterisation of Healthy Urban
Spaces
We have identified 8 urban spaces as places for HPA
or meetings for the elderly. From these, 4 of them are
urban parks, 1 is a large urban park, 1 is a large
square, another is a petanque court, and the last one is
a garden with an orchard which belongs to a
neighbourhood association. In order to characterise
these spaces, a series of surveys were carried out with
the elderly users (with a sample of 10 people
surveyed: 8 women and 2 men, all of them over 65

area (in which we recorded the necessary data for
their characterisation).
From the surveys’ results, the factor of proximity
between dwellings and the urban spaces is identified
as a determining factor for the practice of HPA or
rest/meeting. Only 2 respondents did not live in the
immediate vicinity. In most cases, older users are
satisfied with the physical conditions of the
environments, except in four of the parks, with
complaints about their maintenance, and the type of
users (in their words, "drug addicts" and "young
people who come to smoke"). These four parks are
located in the Haza de Campillo neighbourhood, and
present the same problems due to their proximity to
each other (1, 2, 3, 5). However, of all of them, park
1 is the one most used by the older population,
although only in the mornings. The large square (6)
lacks furniture and vegetation, while the spaces (7)
and (8) have very positive comments.
Thanks to the interviews, the main routes to the
rest areas have been identified, which coincide with
the public spaces with the lowest concentration of
accessibility barriers. On the other hand, based on the
observations made by the authors, some specific
problems have been identified in each of the urban
spaces, such as the lack of furniture (benches), the
lack of maintenance and cleanliness or the lack of
shade or vegetation, among others. From all analysed
urban spaces, parks 1, 2, 3 and 5 have been identified
as areas with a need of intervention.
5.4 Collaborative Digital Mapping of
Spaces and Activities for Active
Ageing
The mapping of spaces and activities for active
ageing in the city proposed by this work belongs to
the group of information platforms explained in
section 2, but unlike the analysed examples, one of its
particularities is the incorporation of geographic
information systems (GIS), which allows the
visualisation and geolocation of activities and healthy
habits in the city (see Figure 3). On the other hand,
one of the problems of many websites and digital
platforms is the need for constant updating by their
creators (governmental entities, associations or
others). In the case of the proposed platform, the
information is or can be uploaded by the users
themselves, updated in real time and in a
collaborative way. Furthermore, it is not necessary to
register in order to consult the activity data.
This type of platform could be implemented in
initiatives such as the Global Network of Age-Friendly
Cities and Communities, which is a project promoted
by the WHO aimed at creating environments and
services that promote and facilitate active and healthy
ageing (in Spain is promoted and coordinated by the
IMSERSO - www.ciudadesamigables.imserso.es).

6 CONCLUSIONS
Through a study that focuses on ageing, urban design
is approached from the attention to the needs of the
elderly. By thinking on elderly, we understand that it
is possible to solve other problems for the benefit of
all age groups. According to the conclusions of the
focus groups, the elderly residents in these
neighbourhoods actively use public spaces for
healthy activities. Although the overall assessment of
these spaces is positive, there are problems of
maintenance, accessibility, lack of certain furniture.
There is also a certain lack of knowledge about some
of the existing facilities. The possibility of using this
platform is highly valued, despite the digital gap.
The use of the platform:
- It generates information that helps to think about
city spaces, their design and functions to
respond to the collective needs of the elderly,
creating quality spaces for the entire population
and favouring an active and healthy lifestyle. In
particular, it has made it possible to identify the
urban spaces actually used by the older
population (1, 4, 6, 7 and 8).
- It helps decision making by local
administrations and technicians to favour this
transformation and solve the problems
demanded by their users.
- It generates information in a collaborative way
among citizens to promote the use of sport in
urban spaces in a self-organised way. In
addition, it is a permanent digital structure for
citizen participation, managed and maintained
by the inhabitants. It encourages the direct
participation of citizens in the process of health
promotion through the possibility to get
involved them in the mapping of spaces and in
the annotation of their qualities or deficiencies.
- Through survey-interviews and information on
needs, citizens participate in decision-making,
in the design, implementation and evaluation of
the actions carried out by the administrations. In
this way, urban spaces respond to the new needs
of a population that lives longer and wants to
live in better conditions for as long as possible.
