  • End-Users Testing of Enhanced Living Environment Platform and Services
    Ambient Assisted Living and Enhanced Living Environments, 2017
    Co-Authors: Rossitza Goleva, Nuno M. Garcia, Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis, Ciprian Dobre, George Mastorakis, Rumen Stainov
    Abstract:

    This chapter presents possible use-case scenarios for end-user testing, verification and validation of Ambient Assisted Living and Enhanced Living Environment (AAL/ELE) platforms and services. It consists of many use-case scenarios related to the functionality, connectivity, interoperability, interfaces, and protocols against end-user specific requirements for AAL as a Service (AALaaS) and ELE as a Service (ELEaaS). The work is based on the existing Living labs experience and enriched by customized information and communication services known from ICT sector. Description of the services and platforms for ELE is done in general terms. Testing needs to be performed in conformance to the general type of functions. Furthermore, customization of the services, applicability to the needs of all stakeholders, flexibility to the data exchange and integration, interoperability between different versions and types of platforms are verified.

  • ICT Innovations - Automated Ambient Open Platform for Enhanced Living Environment
    ICT Innovations 2015, 2016
    Co-Authors: Rossitza Goleva, Rumen Stainov, Alexander Savov, Plamen Draganov, Nikolay Nikolov, Desislava Dimitrova, Ivan Chorbev
    Abstract:

    The aim of this paper is to present an idea of open platform for Enhanced Living Environment that will allow flexible and reliable use of the cloud-computing, sensor, mobile, local and body area networks for highly customized services and applications. The platform architecture consists of sensors working on IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, EnOcean standards, Ethernet, GSM, 3G, 4G, 5G gateways to the cloud, and peer port application at application layer. The personal enhanced Living Environment consists of body area and home automation network. They are key factors for patient’s comfortable Living outside hospitals. Home, car, working place, park automation support the mobility, social integration, possibility of the patients to manage everyday tasks. Experiments carried out using sensors and holter prove the vitality of the solution partially. The platform is capable of working independently from the network connectivity, uses multi-homing, is open to migration to new technologies

  • is green space in the Living Environment associated with people s feelings of social safety
    Environment and Planning A, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jolanda Maas, Peter Spreeuwenberg, M Van Winsumwestra, Robert A Verheij, S De Vries, Peter P Groenewegen
    Abstract:

    The authors investigate whether the percentage of green space in people's Living Environment affects their feelings of social safety positively or negatively. More specifically they investigate the extent to which this relationship varies between urban and rural areas, between groups in the community that can be identified as more or less vulnerable, and the extent to which different types of green space exert different influences. The study includes 83 736 Dutch citizens who were interviewed about their feelings of social safety. The percentage of green space in the Living Environment of each respondent was calculated, and data analysed by use of a three-level latent variable model, controlled for individual and Environmental background characteristics. The analyses suggest that more green space in people's Living Environment is associated with enhanced feelings of social safety—except in very strongly urban areas, where enclosed green spaces are associated with reduced feelings of social safety.

  • morbidity is related to a green Living Environment
    Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jolanda Maas, Peter Spreeuwenberg, R Verheij, S C De Vries, F G Schellevis, Peter P Groenewegen
    Abstract:

    Background: As a result of increasing urbanisation, people face the prospect of Living in Environments with few green spaces. There is increasing evidence for a positive relation between green space in people’s Living Environment and self-reported indicators of physical and mental health. This study investigates whether physicianassessed morbidity is also related to green space in people’s Living Environment. Methods: Morbidity data were derived from electronic medical records of 195 general practitioners in 96 Dutch practices, serving a population of 345 143 people. Morbidity was classified by the general practitioners according to the International Classification of Primary Care. The percentage of green space within a 1 km and 3 km radius around the postal code coordinates was derived from an existing database and was calculated for each household. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were performed, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Results: The annual prevalence rate of 15 of the 24 disease clusters was lower in Living Environments with more green space in a 1 km radius. The relation was strongest for anxiety disorder and depression. The relation was stronger for children and people with a lower socioeconomic status. Furthermore, the relation was strongest in slightly urban areas and not apparent in very strongly urban areas. Conclusion: This study indicates that the previously established relation between green space and a number of self-reported general indicators of physical and mental health can also be found for clusters of specific physicianassessed morbidity. The study stresses the importance of green space close to home for children and lower socioeconomic groups.

  • Older People's Perception of Changes in Their Living Environment after Relocation: A Case Study in Beijing, China.
    International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020
    Co-Authors: Siyao Gao, Yang Cheng
    Abstract:

    Beijing has been experiencing population ageing and rapid urbanization processes. Older people’s Living Environment has changed dramatically. This research aims to understand the older people’s perception of the changes in their Living Environment, the determinants of age-friendly Living Environment, and the impact path before and after their relocation in Beijing. The quantitative analysis is based on 353 valid questionnaires collected in four sample communities in Beijing. By using descriptive analysis and structure equation modeling (SEM), the results show that the Living Environment gets improved after relocation except accessibility to health care facilities. The cultural Environment of the communities has significant impacts on the age-friendliness of the Living Environment. The physical Environment of communities is able to improve the Living Environment indirectly through promoting the community cultural Environment. This study sheds light on future research on age-friendly Living Environment for the ageing population in Beijing.
