Abstract:
:Selected activities of daily living are used to describe the micro-area (dwelling), mezzo-area (quarter) and exo-area (outside the quarter). In a survey of 115 elderly people, the five-year-changes from 1985/86 to 1990/91 in their areas of mobility in a working class district are documented. Special interest is given to the question, if people are making use of their areas by performing leisure activities. Social support is decisive for the access of areas which are limited by a person's physical status.
