摘要

The elderly are particularly vulnerable towards heat stress. With urban populations ageing, and urban temperatures rising, planning and design of urban areas must increasingly consider the interaction of social and climatic factors as an important part of becoming an age-friendly city. However, many relevant stakeholders in Vienna did not feel any direct responsibility regarding the issue, only few measures have so far been implemented for the elderly in Vienna. Therefore, a responsible person and multidisciplinary collaboration between the different organisations and working groups are needed; at the moment, synergies seem to be missing. Study results suggest that heat is essentially a social problem in three ways. First, people with a lower socioeconomic status tend to live in disadvantaged areas, in which heat exposure and heat stress are increased by building density, building materials, lack of public and green spaces and other environmental and planning factors. Second, once exposed to heat, people with a lower socio-economic status suffer more from heat stress due to their generally poorer health (caused by bad living and working conditions as well as unhealthy lifestyles). Third, the study has provided new insights in how disadvantaged groups tends to deploy unfavourable coping strategies, like staying at home in a hot apartment.
