This study aims to assess the global indices of age-friendly city in Tehran, which have been developed by World Health Organization. Finally, the design solutions carried out based on the successful works in other countries will be presented for city of Tehran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present study, World Health Organization’s standard questionnaire was duplicated in 110 copies and given to urban designers and planners, rehabilitation specialists, doctors, nurses, and other aging-related professionals and experts. Then, the resulting data were imported into SPSS22 software and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. FINDINGS: The results indicated that, among 8 indices of age-friendly city including open spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion of the elderly, citizen participation and employment of the elderly, communication and information facilities, as well as health and local services, transportation factor had a more favorable condition in Tehran for the elderly and citizen participation and employment index was very inappropriate for them. CONCLUSION: It can be said that urban designers and researchers should deal with the planning of housing and buildings’ open spaces in a more detailed manner in their future works and pursue more accurate plans and programs in this regard. This study aims to only evaluate the mentioned issue, and special and detailed research is expected to be conducted on these two subjects in the future.

Celem badania jest dokonanie oceny globalnych wskaźników w Teheranie jako miasta przyjaznego starzeniu, które zostały opracowane przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia. Rozwiązania projektowe realizowane na podstawie udanych prac w innych krajach zostaną przedstawione dla miasta Teheran. MATERIAŁ I METODY: W niniejszym badaniu, został przedstawiony w 110 egzemplarzach standardowy kwestionariusz Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia projektantom, planistom miejskim, rehabilitantom, lekarzom, pielęgniarkom oraz innym specjalistom i ekspertom związanym ze starzeniem się społeczeństwa. Uzyskane dane następnie były importowane do oprogramowania SPSS22 oraz analizowane za pomocą opisowych i statystycznych danych. OSIĄGNIĘCIA: Wyniki porównania wśród 8 kryteriów oceny miasta przyjaznego starzeniu w tym: otwartych przestrzeni i budynków, transportu, budownictwa mieszkaniowego, partycypacji społecznej, integracji społecznej osób starszych, udziału w zatrudnianiu osób starszych, komunikacyjnych i informatycznych udogodnień, jak również zakresu lokalnej opieki zdrowotnej, wykazują, że czynnik transportu z udziałem obywateli w podeszłym wieku był najkorzystniejszy w Teheranie a wskaźnik zatrudnienia był bardzo nieodpowiedni dla nich. WNIOSEK: Można powiedzieć, że projektanci i naukowcy powinni w przyszłości zajmować się planowaniem budynków i otwartej przestrzeni w sposób bardziej szczegółowy korzystając z bardziej dokładnych planów i programów w tym zakresie. Badanie to ma na celu jedynie ocenić wspomniany problem, by móc wykonać szczegółowe badania obejmujące te dwa tematy w przyszłości.
