Para tanto, estar em ambiente f?sico e social adequado ? um fator fundamental para o bem estar do idoso, sobretudo no ambiente habitacional - nessa tese entendido como o conjunto da casa (unidade de habita??o) e do seu entorno (vizinhan?a pr?xima). Al?m disso, a legisla??o brasileira nesse setor indica a import?ncia do idoso permanecer em casa e na fam?lia. Partindo desse quadro geral, o objetivo principal da pesquisa foi investigar foi investigar como o ambiente residencial (s?cio-f?sico) influencia as atividades cotidianas e a qualidade de vida da pessoa idosa. O estudo assumiu car?ter explorat?rio e qualitativo, e recorreu a visitas domiciliares, sendo desenvolvido com base em estrat?gia multim?todos. O trabalho emp?rico foi realizado na cidade de Cabedelo-Para?ba, de novembro/2013 a fevereiro/2014. Participaram 36 idosos (31 mulheres e 5 homens), com idade entre 80 e 99 anos e baixa escolaridade, os quais moram na ?rea a cerca de 39 anos (em m?dia). Na primeira etapa da pesquisa foram aplicados question?rios relativos aos dados s?cio- demogr?ficos e ? habitabilidade da resid?ncia e do entorno. Na segunda etapa aconteceu entrevista com roteiro semiestruturado, utilizando grava??o, e passeio acompanhado (com os que aceitaram faz?-lo). Ao longo de todo trabalho foi mantido um di?rio de campo pela pesquisadora e realizadas observa??es natural?sticas do comportamento dos idosos. Os dados quantitativos foram descritos por meio de estat?stica b?sica, e as informa??es provenientes das entrevistas foram analisadas atrav?s da t?cnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Dentre as ideias centrais que deles emergiram destacam-se: a representa??o da casa, o apoio da vizinhan?a e quest?es relacionadas ? d?ade independ?ncia/autonomia. O estudo mostrou que os idosos desenvolvem forte apego ao lugar onde moram, entendem a import?ncia dele para a sua sa?de e desejam permanecer ali. Assim, embora no local onde moram eles vivenciem muitas barreiras (mais f?sicas do que sociais), eles se dizem satisfeitos. Como as casas s?o ambientalmente mais d?ceis mudan?as simples garantem um pouco de autonomia, independ?ncia e mobilidade aos idosos. Por sua vez, as barreiras do meio urbano aparentam ser mais dif?ceis de enfrentar, tornando este espa?o in?spito ? maioria dos participantes da pesquisa, condi??o que dificulta suas atividades f?sicas e sua participa??o social, influenciando negativamente sua qualidade de vida. / Currently, the growing aging population challenges the society and public health policies, for increased longevity need to be associated with quality of life. Adequate physical and social environment are key factors for the welfare of the elderly, particularly the housing environment - this thesis understood as the home (dwelling unit) and its surroundings (close proximity). In addition, Brazilian legislation in this sector indicates the importance of the elderly remain at home and in the family. In addition, Brazilian legislation in this sector indicates the importance of the elderly remain at home and in the family. Based on this framework mortar, the thesis was starting questions: How do you live the elderly population aged 80 and over which is served by the Health Family Strategy of the Unified Health System? That social and environmental conditions of the place of residence act more directly on their quality of life? How do these people get housing conditions experienced? The research aimed to investigate how the residential environment (social and physical) influence everyday activities and quality of life of the elderly. Exploratory qualitative study highlighting the home visits, developed based on multimethod strategy. The empirical study was conducted in the city of Cabedelo-PB, Nov/2013 to Feb/2014. Participants were 36 elderly people (31 women and 5 men) aged between 80 and 99 years, little education, who live 39 years in the area (average). In the research first stage were applied questionnaires for socio-demographics and livability of the residence and the surroundings. In the second stage we used semi-structured interview and a tour accompanied in the neighborhood (with those who have accepted to do so). Throughout work it was kept a diary by the researcher and held naturalistic observations of the behavior of the elderly. Quantitative data were described using descriptive statistics, and information from the interviews were analyzed through the Collective Subject Discourse technique. Among the key ideas that emerged from them are: the representation of home, neighborhood support and related issues dyad independence / autonomy. The study showed that the elderly develop strong attachment to the place where he lives, the importance of it for your health and the desire to stay there. Thus, despite experiencing many barriers (more physical than the social), at the place where they live, they say they are satisfied, even when unfavorable conditions are evident. Concluding that as the houses are environmentally more docile, simple changes ensure autonomy, independence and mobility for the elderly. In turn, the barriers of the urban environment show it more difficult to deal with, making this space inhospitable to most survey participants, a condition that hinders your physical activities and social participation, and negatively influence their quality of life.
