SUMMARY:

Introduction: Accentuated urbanization and population aging create global challenges. In Brazil, the population has been aging in the face of unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, associated with - not uncommon - losses of autonomy and independence, and difficulty in adapting to the demands of the modern world, which often leads to the social isolation of the elderly people. The challenge of facing these transformations within a short period creates a sense of urgency in changing public policies and society. Faced with this scenario, the WHO in recent decades has increased its efforts to encourage healthy, active, and participatory aging, with friendly cities for the elderly and at the same time combating ageism. Living together in the city is permeated with prejudiced attitudes against the elderly, and the collective's awareness of this “ism” is the first step towards building friendly environments. Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore and understand the conceptions and perceptions of elderly people about the axes of the world Guide of Age-friendly cities, as well as their notes on priorities and barriers to make the metropolitan region of Brasília more friendly to the elderly. Methods: The theoretical-methodological proposal adopted is a qualitative, cross-sectional, and analytical approach. Two steps were organized: i) a review of the literature scope, to survey the concepts used for Age-friendly cities, as well as the theories that are used to cover the theme; ii) a survey of sociodemographic issues with the application of an Online Survey through a convenience sample of 208 elderly people, aged 60 or over from 4 administrative regions of the Federal District (Ceilandida, Lago Sul, Plano Piloto, and Taguatinga). The entire study adopts the theoretical framework of ageism and ecological theory, a construct that makes it possible to understand the barriers, prejudices, and stereotypes of the most diverse orders that compromise the experience of the fullness of longevity and the influence that the environment has on the inclusion and social interaction of women. old people. Results: The sample consisted of 208 people aged 60 years or older, with a predominance of women (78.4%), 90.38% heterosexuals, with a mean age of 67.5 years (± 6.67), a minimum of 60 years and a maximum of 92 years. The majority self-declared to be non-black (58.17%), however, in peripheral administrative regions there is a black majority (51% in Ceilândia and 50% in Taguatinga). On average, 68.75% have higher education, income of 4-10 minimum wages, are married or have a stable relationship (51.44%); 38.94% live with one more person; 62.50% have a health plan as holder; 72.12% live in their own property and paid off, and 46.63% of the individuals rated their health and quality of life as good. In short, 66.08% of people do not consider Brasilia a friendly city for the elderly, with 74.52% believing that for this title, the capital must improve access to external spaces. In addition, the most important axes are: Health (82.21%), Respect and Inclusion (74.52%) and Transport (73.56%). In the Ceilândia (90.2%) and Taguatinga (73.71%) regions, the greatest fear of elderly people when leaving home is the fear of being mugged. In Plano Piloto (72.41%) and Lago Sul (61.90%), there is a fear of suffering a fall because of uneven sidewalks. Conclusion: It was possible to identify that for the elderly, a friendly environment is one that facilitates the exploration of the external environment with accessibility, without leaving aside the right to health, respect and inclusion, and the provision of public transport. Those who live in peripheral regions suffer more from the insecurity of crime, while the central regions feel insecure with the physical structure of the sidewalks and the fear of falling. It was not possible to associate self-perception of health or other social determinants with the perception of the city being friendly to the elderly.
