Nicolas Maes:

== Description of the project and the local area ==
We have a lot of information available about our target group:
* We conducted a survey called ‘survey for the needs of seniors’ (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’). With the answers of more than 400 respondents, we have an exceptionally broad overview of the needs of elderly people in our city.
* Focus groups and interviews carried out among intermediary organisations that daily interact with the target group

== Assets and resources ==
The results of the survey for the needs of seniors (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’), together with the results of the survey Come Out of Your Shell were rich and reliable sources of information for revealing the needs of the elderly people in the city of Ostend. A broad basis was set, out of which we are able to operate.

Our team has a lot of expertise: having long-time experience with the target group, especially our project manager. Furthermore we can fall back on the experiences in movement and opportunities towards the target group of our sports department and in detecting them with the help of our service centers.

== Geographical setting ==
The city center district of Ostend is our testing ground, our lab. It’s the beating heart of the City and has a surface of 0,75 m². With 9.497 inhabitants per square kilometre, the city center is 21 times more populated than the region Flanders, in which it is located.

The city center district harbors 2 service centers: service center ‘De Boeie’ and service center ‘Oud-Hospitaal’.

Why did we choose this urban area? From the survey for the needs of seniors (cf. supra) we determined that older people in the city center district move less compared to their peers in the other districts/neighborhoods of the city because everything (for example shops) is close by and there are no sports facilities. Furthermore they are the most difficult population group to stimulate to move more.

== Current situation ==
`What currently happens` in relation to your project problem or issue, is your project new or are you building on an existing project?
== Demand ==
What would you anticipate the demand might be for your proposed project at this stage and what are you basing that forecast on?
== Expansion ==
Are you planning to expand an already-successful project with a different population or in a different setting? Please describe your reasons for this and what information you used to inform your decision?
== Information capture for your project ==
Please make a plan and decide what strategies you are going to use and when. As a minimum everyone needs to keep their meeting minutes/notes and attendance details. Other ideas are photos/videos/diaries/attendance numbers/participant feedback/log book. In relation to the SAIL feasibility study you will need to be able to say who attended your project and when also including the participants age and gender if possible.
== Acceptability ==
How was the project proposal recieved by a) your team members/organisational partners b) your target community/potential participants? Evidence would include: participant observation at initial project meetings, qualitative interviews with participants and project staff or correspondence related to the proposal ie emails exchanges?
== Adaptation ==
Have you made any changes to your original plans, why did you make the change and what information did you base your new plans on?
== Key stakeholders and relations ==
Are there key individuals, (including participants) organisations or relationships who are central to your project, and in what way do they benefit your project?

== What is the problem/issue you are trying to address? ==
According to the survey for the needs of seniors (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’) the age of 80 is a turning point among seniors when it comes to physical mobility.
The City centre is one of the areas, in which seniors move the least. Despite various mobility offers, there are no targeted actions focused on prevention for people aged 60-80, nor specific interventions for 80+.
The partners of this pilot, the City of Ostend (as lead partner) and Westtoer, will join forces to try to tackle this issue. The City of Ostend aims to develop mobility offers, while Westtoer will integrate a communication dimension: a new mobility concept will be set up that increases social participation in City life through better communication and mobility offers.
== Pilot aim ==
The survey for the needs of seniors (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’) shows a clear link between increase in age and less physical mobility. The older seniors get, the less they’ll move/travel by foot, by car and by bike and the less they’ll participate in physical activities (movement/sports). Consequently, the frequency of leaving the house and being part/a member of society drops significantly. Furthermore, the frequency of falling is higher in the City centre in comparison with the other districts of the City.
The aim of the City of Ostend is to change these observations and stimulate the physical mobility of the senior citizens in several ways. Westtoer will maintain communication between the City and its citizens.
== Stakeholders on your pilot ==
1) - '''Focus group''': ‘Beweeg aan Zee’ (Move and se(a)): 19th of September 2017, 13h30 – 15h00
On the 19th of September we organised a focus group, named ‘Beweeg aan Zee’ (‘Move and Se(a)’). Invitations were sent to all the relevant partners in the work field (= the city centre district) through targeted mailing and through our sustainable networking relationships
The following '''8''' stakeholders were present (number of persons between parentheses):
- Sports department, City of Ostend: sports promotor (1)
- Elderly/Senior care, PCSW Ostend: director (1)
- Contact point seniors in need, PCSW Ostend: coordinator (1)
- S-Plus West Flanders, Bond Moyson: educational employee for Seniors (1)
- District manager of the city centre, PCSW Ostend (1)
- Public domain department, City of Ostend: landscape designer (1)
- Senior Advisory Council of the City of Ostend (SARO): co-chairman (1)
- The elderly and volunteer policy coordinator, City of Ostend (1)
- '''Focus group''' with elderly and second residents older than 55 + who visit the Belgian Coast: 10 participants: 20th of June 2)
'''Consultation meetings''' with stakeholders and intermediary organizations separately.
'''12''' consultation meetings were held with (number of persons between parentheses):
- Senior Advisory Council of the City of Ostend (SARO) (32)
- Mindermobielencentrale (specialised transport of people with reduced mobility) of the health insurance Christelijke Mutualiteit (CM), CMobiel: coordinator (1)
- Sports department, City of Ostend: sports promotor + sports intern (2)
- Contact point seniors in need, PCSW Ostend: coordinator + intern (2)
- The day-care centres for elderly people Clemence Wante and De Kust: head of the department (1)
- District manager of the City centre, PCSW Ostend (1)
- Mindermobielencentrale (specialised transport of people with reduced mobility) of the health insurance Onafhankelijk Ziekenfonds, Via OZ (teleconference) (1)
- Economic House Ostend (Board of Representatives of the retailers): centre manager + assistant of center manager (2)
- Social service of the department Geriatrics of the hospital AZ Sint-Jan Campus Serruys: social worker (1)
- Service centre De Boeie: assistant centre manager (1)
- S-Plus West Flanders of the health insurance Bond Moyson: educational employee for Seniors + coordinator mindermobielencentrale (specialised transport of people with reduced mobility) Mobilitas (2)
- Occupational therapists of Home Care, PCSW Ostend + intern (3)
3)
'''Participation''': As we’ll use the central area of the city as a testing ground we also introduced our project on the 20th of September to the counsel of the City centre district, in which the district manager of the City centre, social care organisations, health services, contact point seniors in need, elderly care of the PCSW, cultural center ‘De Grote Post’, chief of the neighbourhood police of the central area and the elderly and volunteer policy coordinator were present.
We also participated in the City centre district counsel and its several workgroups, organised by the district manager of the City centre. We’ve contributed to 3 workgroups: workgroup ‘neighbourhood residents’ (search for better care and welfare for the neighbourhood residents), workgroup ‘neighbourhood involvement’ (working together on neighbourhood connection) and workgroup ‘neighbourhood communication’ (search for cooperating more effectively and communicating on neighbourhood level). We are convinced that their actions and expertise are very important to us. Their actions actions are connected to ours as they’ll be implemented in the same area and also cover our target population.
== Pilot beneficiaries ==
Who will benefit from this pilot? What is the goal that you are trying to achieve with this pilot?
- Inhabitants and second residents aged 60+ living in the City centre and the other city districts.
- local business sector (restaurants, retailers,… à more activity in the City centre)
Our goal is to increase the physical mobility among the participating elderly in the City centre of Ostend by developing mobility offers and enhance communication towards its citizens.
== Ideas generated ==
How many and which ideas were generated from the stakeholder meetings?
Out of all the meetings as mentioned above, 10 ideas were generated:
1. installing more benches in the City centre. These are resting points for elderly people. Rearrange/give them a new destination
2. better use of benches in public space. A collective approach or cooperation (support) between the responsible partners is necessary
3. mobile (picnic)benches. Citizens place them on locations themselves. If they remain stationed on a certain place, the City could install a bench on that spot.
4. installing more public toilets. These are sanitary points for elderly people
5. a bench and public toilets plan or map
6. implementation of healthy walks (similar to start 2 walk & ‘zit je fit’-sessions). A freelance professional who accompanies and gives advice to the seniors on how to exercise
7. accessible and comfortable sidewalks
8. motion of fitness devices in the City centre with focus on seniors, ‘custom-built’ for the target population (similar to the ‘fit-o-meters’ for young people)
9. install resting points for citizens through folding chairs at the house fronts
10. plan walking routes in the city centre. Social and health organisations could make use of (parts of) these routes and promote them to their clients
Please find our selected ideas below.
== Values for selection ==
· Certainty/security: before elderly people leave the house and go for a walk, they want to be sure they’ll be able to sit down for a moment and take a break at street benches (resting points). Furthermore, public toilets are a sort of relief for seniors, so that they are able to relieve themselves at any time. These two utilities serve as a safety assurance to move.
· Being active: seniors made it clear that they want to make use of sporting facilities (mobility offers), that they want to move
· Health: elderly people suggest that they need to go for a walk and that they need fresh air. They need to move because they have to keep their muscles strong
· Social interaction/involvement: seniors indicate there’s a shortage of benches in the City centre. They need those, as well as the (social interaction during) activities (mobility offers), to make contact or to connect/bond with neighbours or other citizens.
== Acceptability ==
How did the project team, other organisations and your participants react to the project idea? What is the level of involvement/commitment from each group at this stage? Evidence could include: participant observation at initial project meetings and the reflections of the project group.
== Demand ==
What is the demand for your project? How do you know this, what information did you use to help you?
== Implementation/Practicality/Organisational/Financial Feasibility ==
How feasible does your project look to your team at this stage in terms of practicality, and financial feasibility?
== Additional assets and resources ==
Do you need any additional assets or resources including expertise to help you deliver your project?
Yes
== Adaptation ==
Have you made any changes to your original plans, why did you make the change and what information did you base your new plans on? For instance any changes you made to the context, format, timing, setting or population at this stage?
We do not have made any changes yet.
== Integration ==
Do you think this project will work within the current local setting/structures? What changes need to be made to integrate your new project into existing infrastructure or programs?
== Selected ideas for next phase ==
The City of Ostend will create a pilot in which it will try by to increase the mobility of its elderly people by offering them targeted actions in terms of movement. This new mobility concept consists of 4 actions to increase movement:
The implementation of walking routes alongside existing street-benches in combination with the map of public toilets (sanitary points) in the central area of the City. These points provide resting points
on the users’ path and are very important items for elderly people. They serve as a kind of safety assurance to move, as resting points for elderly people: they could take a pause
and sit down to rest. It also increases encounters
(social contact with others, with a nod to our other pilot, ‘Combatting Loneliness’). We’ll bring the public toilets and these walking routes together on one city map. Furthermore, rearrange/reallocate ‘lost’ street benches to places where they’ll be of better use. Social and health organisations could make use of these (or parts of) and promote them to their clients.
Organise walking sessions, Start to Walk for elderly people, along these walking routes. A freelance professional who accompanies and gives advice to the seniors on how to exercise at the benches.
Match these sessions with a range of cardiovascular and muscle strengthening movement exercises at the benches, ‘custom-built’ for the target population and approachable (fit-o-meter pocket edition).
Last, the city will install pedals/treadles (serving as outside home-trainers with back support) on different locations in the city centre district.{{Light Context

'''Participation''': As we’ll use the central area of the city as a testing ground we also introduced our project on the 20th of September to the counsel of the City centre district, in which the district manager of the City centre, social care organisations, health services, contact point seniors in need, elderly care of the PCSW, cultural center ‘De Grote Post’, chief of the neighbourhood police of the central area and the elderly and volunteer policy coordinator were present.
We also participated in the City centre district counsel and its several workgroups, organised by the district manager of the City centre. We’ve contributed to 3 workgroups: workgroup ‘neighbourhood residents’ (search for better care and welfare for the neighbourhood residents), workgroup ‘neighbourhood involvement’ (working together on neighbourhood connection) and workgroup ‘neighbourhood communication’ (search for cooperating more effectively and communicating on neighbourhood level). We are convinced that their actions and expertise are very important to us. Their actions actions are connected to ours as they’ll be implemented in the same area and also cover our target population.
== Pilot beneficiaries ==
Who will benefit from this pilot? What is the goal that you are trying to achieve with this pilot?
- Inhabitants and second residents aged 60+ living in the City centre and the other city districts.
- local business sector (restaurants, retailers,… à more activity in the City centre)
Our goal is to increase the physical mobility among the participating elderly in the City centre of Ostend by developing mobility offers and enhance communication towards its citizens.
== Ideas generated ==
How many and which ideas were generated from the stakeholder meetings?
Out of all the meetings as mentioned above, 10 ideas were generated:
1. installing more benches in the City centre. These are resting points for elderly people. Rearrange/give them a new destination
2. better use of benches in public space. A collective approach or cooperation (support) between the responsible partners is necessary
3. mobile (picnic)benches. Citizens place them on locations themselves. If they remain stationed on a certain place, the City could install a bench on that spot.
4. installing more public toilets. These are sanitary points for elderly people
5. a bench and public toilets plan or map
6. implementation of healthy walks (similar to start 2 walk & ‘zit je fit’-sessions). A freelance professional who accompanies and gives advice to the seniors on how to exercise
7. accessible and comfortable sidewalks
8. motion of fitness devices in the City centre with focus on seniors, ‘custom-built’ for the target population (similar to the ‘fit-o-meters’ for young people)
9. install resting points for citizens through folding chairs at the house fronts
10. plan walking routes in the city centre. Social and health organisations could make use of (parts of) these routes and promote them to their clients
Please find our selected ideas below.
== Values for selection ==
· Certainty/security: before elderly people leave the house and go for a walk, they want to be sure they’ll be able to sit down for a moment and take a break at street benches (resting points). Furthermore, public toilets are a sort of relief for seniors, so that they are able to relieve themselves at any time. These two utilities serve as a safety assurance to move.
· Being active: seniors made it clear that they want to make use of sporting facilities (mobility offers), that they want to move
· Health: elderly people suggest that they need to go for a walk and that they need fresh air. They need to move because they have to keep their muscles strong
· Social interaction/involvement: seniors indicate there’s a shortage of benches in the City centre. They need those, as well as the (social interaction during) activities (mobility offers), to make contact or to connect/bond with neighbours or other citizens.
== Acceptability ==
How did the project team, other organisations and your participants react to the project idea? What is the level of involvement/commitment from each group at this stage? Evidence could include: participant observation at initial project meetings and the reflections of the project group.
== Demand ==
What is the demand for your project? How do you know this, what information did you use to help you?
== Implementation/Practicality/Organisational/Financial Feasibility ==
How feasible does your project look to your team at this stage in terms of practicality, and financial feasibility?
== Additional assets and resources ==
Do you need any additional assets or resources including expertise to help you deliver your project?
== Adaptation ==
Have you made any changes to your original plans, why did you make the change and what information did you base your new plans on? For instance any changes you made to the context, format, timing, setting or population at this stage?
We do not have made any changes yet.
== Integration ==
Do you think this project will work within the current local setting/structures? What changes need to be made to integrate your new project into existing infrastructure or programs?
== Selected ideas for next phase ==
The City of Ostend will create a pilot in which it will try by to increase the mobility of its elderly people by offering them targeted actions in terms of movement. This new mobility concept consists of 4 actions to increase movement:
The implementation of walking routes alongside existing street-benches in combination with the map of public toilets (sanitary points) in the central area of the City. These points provide resting points on the users’ path and are
very important items for elderly people. They serve as a kind of safety assurance to move, as resting points for elderly people: they could take a pause
and sit down to rest. It also increases encounters
(social contact with others, with a nod to our other pilot, ‘Combatting Loneliness’). We’ll bring the public toilets and these walking routes together on one city map. Furthermore, rearrange/reallocate ‘lost’ street benches to places where they’ll be of better use. Social and health organisations could make use of these (or parts of) and promote them to their clients.
Organise walking sessions, Start to Walk for elderly people, along these walking routes. A freelance professional who accompanies and gives advice to the seniors on how to exercise at the benches.
Match these sessions with a range of cardiovascular and muscle strengthening movement exercises at the benches, ‘custom-built’ for the target population and approachable (fit-o-meter pocket edition).
Last, the city will install pedals/treadles (serving as outside home-trainers with back support) on different locations in the city centre district.{{Light Context

Nicolas Maes:

== What is the problem/issue you are trying to address? ==
According to the survey for the needs of seniors (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’) the age of 80 is a turning point among seniors when it comes to physical mobility.
The City centre is one of the areas, in which seniors move the least. Despite various mobility offers, there are no targeted actions focused on prevention for people aged 60-80, nor specific interventions for 80+.
The partners of this pilot, the City of Ostend (as lead partner) and Westtoer, will join forces to try to tackle this issue. The City of Ostend aims to develop mobility offers, while Westtoer will integrate a communication dimension: a new mobility concept will be set up that increases social participation in City life through better communication and mobility offers.
== Pilot aim ==
The survey for the needs of seniors (‘Seniorenbehoeftenonderzoek’) shows a clear link between increase in age and less physical mobility. The older seniors get, the less they’ll move/travel by foot, by car and by bike and the less they’ll participate in physical activities (movement/sports). Consequently, the frequency of leaving the house and being part/a member of society drops significantly. Furthermore, the frequency of falling is higher in the City centre in comparison with the other districts of the City.
The aim of the City of Ostend is to change these observations and stimulate the physical mobility of the senior citizens in several ways. Westtoer will maintain communication between the City and its citizens.
