In the author’s opinion, in the light of the current provisions of the Act on Petitions and the Act on Municipal Self-Government, it cannot be considered that municipal councils of senior citizens have the legitimacy to submit a petition to the Sejm. In particular, the study notes that the mu‑ nicipal council of seniors is neither a natural person, nor a legal entity. Moreover, it is also not an organisational unit that is not a legal person within the meaning of the Act on Petitions. It was also emphasised that the functions of the municipal council of seniors are, strictly speaking, of an internal nature and it does not have competences that would allow it to represent the municipality externally, including submitting a petition to the Sejm.

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of place of permanent residence (urban or rural) on the tourist activity of senior citizens (60+) of different socioeconomic statuses. The study involved 380 senior citizens (305 female and 75 male) aged 60 years and older who were permanent residents of the region of Warmia and Mazury, Poland. In this group, 244 subjects resided in urban areas and 136 participants were rural dwellers. The respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their socioeconomic status (place of permanent residence, age, gender, educational attainment, financial status, membership in senior organizations, marital status, and professional activity) and tourist activity. A significance test of two structure coefficients (α=0.05) was applied. Factors such as gender, professional activity, and marital status were not related with the travel propensity of seniors from different groups (urban and rural), but were significant when rural residents were compared with urban dwellers. Seniors residing in urban areas of Warmia and Mazury, Poland, were significantly more likely to travel for leisure than those residing in rural areas. The tourist activity of seniors decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the age (60-74 years) and financial status of rural residents. The travel propensity of elderly people increased significantly (p<0.05) with educational attainment and membership in senior organizations. The study revealed considerable differences in the socioeconomic status and social characteristics of seniors residing in rural and urban areas, and those variations significantly influenced their propensity for travel: urban residents traveled more frequently than rural residents. It can be concluded that place of residence was a crucial factor determining the tourist behavior of senior citizens, and urban dwellers were more likely to travel.

The aim of the article is to present the concept of the silver tourism economy and to identify its supply and demand in rural areas in Poland in relation to sustainable development. The problems of interest were analysed in the context of values held by and ethical norms observed in rural communities. It was found that ethical aspects of sustainable development were embraced by older members of rural communities, and, consequently, were closely connected with the supply and demand sides of the silver tourism economy. The study revealed that the supply side of the silver tourism economy in rural areas was more developed than the demand side. The authors emphasize the need for natural, cultural, social and economic resources (associated with the supply side) to support the demand side of the rural tourism market. They also indicate that ethical values and norms of sustainable development are important for the silver tourism economy. The article is based a review of the literature, analysis of secondary sources and official documents and participant observation undertaken by of the authors.

Corporate social responsibility is a concept responding to the climate change, environmental problems and the needs of stakeholders. Business makes an effort to act in the changing conditions, thus adapting to the expectations of the stakeholders and following the principles of sustainable economic development and social responsibility. One of the changes taking place in the current economic and social world is the change in the demographic structure of the population. The subject of aging population is being discussed, usually as a negative aspect in the context of changes in the pension system, health care costs or conditions of employment of older people. The principles of corporate social responsibility, such as social inclusion, anti-discrimination and facilitating access to products and services create the basis for the development of the economy, focused on the use of purchasing potential of older people. Thus, the perception of the demographic changes in this context becomes the ground for the formation of perspective solutions and development of the silver economy. This model of the economy can be understood as a system, which is based on adapting the production and distribution of products and services to older people. The main aim of this article is to present the challenges for companies in terms of the problems connected with an aging population, as well as to present the main features of the concept of the silver economy in the context of corporate social responsibility. Moreover, considering the development of the silver economy, there should be taken into account the characteristics of older people as consumers. In this context, there are a lot of stereotypes associated with the activity of the elderly. The article also notes the profile of potential customers of the silver economy, with a particular emphasis on the approach of the elderly to innovation, tradition and a widely understood sense of security.

This paper deals with issues related to aiding elderly people who reside in rural areas and who used to do jobs associated with agriculture. The main aim is to present the situation of senior citizens and to show the problems and needs of this group within the society. The main assumption of the study is that the needs of the elderly people who live in rural areas are different than those of senior citizens who live in towns. The study was carried out using data obtained by a questionnaire survey, a literature review and subjective observations of the authors on the situation of the elderly and care opportunities available to them. The study has provided data which can be used mainly to propose solutions aimed at improving the situation of the elderly. To this end, two surveys were conducted: one targeting senior citizens who live in rural areas and the other – people who work as a carer for an elderly person. For each survey, a sample of 80 respondents was singled out, and the study area included the communes of the Voivodship of Warmia and Mazury, i.e. Dobre Miasto, Lubomino, Pasłęk and Stawiguda. The data obtained from the surveys has been used to determine the level of needs for longterm or supplementary care for elderly people and to identify the main forms and type of aid based on the needs felt by a specific group. The findings have shown that such care can be arranged by employing carers performing services to elderly people.

Poland is an ageing society, a fact that has social repercussions. Government programmes point to the necessity of improving the quality of life of senior citizens in various domains. An important objective in gerontology is to increase the activity of senior citizens, which renders ageing a less arduous process. This objective has been postulated to involve the media. Given its public service remit and the specificity of audial communication, which enables a non-stereotypical treatment of old age, Polish Radio is tasked with including in its programming issues concerning the social inclusion of senior citizens. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that presenters of public radio, broadly accessible and popular among senior citizens as it is, address their well-being in its regular programmes.

Educational activeness of senior citizens is an important issue as the dynamics of the changes taking place in various spheres of life requires from them the systematic acquisition and updating of knowledge. Many organizations and institutions create favourable conditions for the oldest age group to develop skills, increase qualifications and acquire knowledge. A lot of significance in this respect is attributed to the third age universities.The presented study is aimed at drawing attention to the role of the Third Age University in Cieszyn and the Cross-Generation Regional University in Czech Cieszyn in lifelong education of senior citizens inhabiting both parts of Cieszyn Silesia. These universities have become a place for deepening the bonds and cross-generation contacts. Referring to the theory of activeness, both institutions enable the elderly fulfilling alternative social roles and, in this way, enhance their self-development.

Kwestia aktywności edukacyjnej seniorów jest istotnym zagadnieniem, gdyż dynamika zachodzących w różnych sferach życia przemian wymaga od osób starszych systematycznego zdobywania oraz aktualizowania wiedzy. Wiele organizacji, instytucji i placówek stwarza dogodne warunki do rozwijania umiejętności, podnoszenia kwalifikacji oraz przyswajania wiedzy najstarszej grupie wiekowej. Szczególne znaczenie w tym zakresie przypisuje się uniwersytetom trzeciego wieku. Celem tego opracowania jest zwrócenie uwagi na znaczenie Cieszyńskiego Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku oraz Międzygeneracyjnego Uniwersytetu Regionalnego w Czeskim Cieszynie w edukacji całożyciowej seniorów zamieszkujących polską i czeską część Śląska Cieszyńskiego. Uniwersytety te stają się miejscem zacieśniania więzi oraz kontaktów międzygeneracyjnych. W odniesieniu do teorii aktywności zapewniają seniorom wypełnianie alternatywnych ról społecznych, a co za tym idzie, przyczyniają się do samorozwoju osób starszych.

W ostatnich latach zauważalna jest zmiana podejścia do usług oferowanych w ramach przekładu audiowizualnego i dostępności mediów. Zamiast skupiać się na konkretnej grupie widzów, widoczne jest dążenie do bardziej uniwersalnych rozwiązań, które brałyby pod uwagę odbiorców o różnej charakterystyce. Zgodnie z tym podejściem niektórzy badacze sugerują na przykład, że napisy dla niesłyszących (SDH) czy aplikacje dostępnościowe stworzone z myślą o osobach niewidomych mogłyby być użyteczne także dla osób starszych. U tej grupy widzów mogą występować typowe dla starzenia zmiany w narządach zmysłu czy obniżenie sprawności poznawczej, co może mieć istotny wpływ na proces oglądania filmów oraz preferowaną metodę tłumaczenia. Biorąc pod uwagę starzenie się populacji wielu krajów, można założyć, że osoby starsze stanowią ważną część grupy potencjalnych klientów kin. Niestety niewiele wiadomo na temat konkretnych potrzeb i preferencji osób starszych związanych z przekładem audiowizualnym, ponieważ dotychczasowe badania skupiały się na młodszych widzach. Celem tego artykułu jest krótkie scharakteryzowanie osób starszych jako odbiorców przekładu audiowizualnego oraz omówienie tematów, jakie mogą podjąć przyszłe badania nad tą grupą widzów.

EN

In recent years, approaches to audiovisua translation and media accessibility services have shifted from serving one group of viewers only towards a more universal design that takes into account a wider range of users. In line with that approach, some scholars point out, for example, that subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) or accessibility applications created with the blind and partially-sighted in mind could prove beneficial to senior citizens. This group of viewers is likely to experience age-related sensori-motor and cognitive decline, which may significantly influence their film-watching experience as well as their preference for an AVT method. As populations in many countries are aging, senior citizens might be considered an important part of potential cinema clientele. Unfortunately, since studies in AVT have concentrated on younger audiences, little is known about senior citizens’ specific preferences concerning audiovisual translation. The objective of this article is to briefly characterise senior citizens as recipients of audiovisual translation and discuss the possibilities for future studies on the subject.

The elderly are currently becoming one of the subjects of a global culture. As a consequence of a substantial increase in the number of individuals belonging to this age-group, the social status of the elderly is constantly growing. This change has resulted in science “re-accustoming” with the issue of the old age, and the culture has been promoting its new and medially attractive quality. This article analyzes the relevance of the stereotypes and prejudices conditioning the quality of life among the elderly. The authors discuss the new challenges resulting from the demographic revolution that is taking place right now. The examples employed here are to facilitate turning the theory of active aging in a friendly environment into practice. Nevertheless, the authors are aware that this change will not be an easy or a swift process.

The article outlines the characteristics of activity and activation of senior citizens and highlights the personalistic dimension of this activity. It shows how physical activity can be used in building interpersonal relationships. Bearing in mind that each human being represents a physical, psychological and spiritual unity, it is suggested that the physical activity of senior citizens be approached from the perspective of personalistic philosophy as a source of inspiration for the activation of the elderly. Active ageing is mainly related to the areas of professional and social activity and a broadly defined quality of life based on good health and well-being. The term “active ageing” is increasingly being replaced by “successful ageing.” An indisputable element of the latter is staying active, with physical activity being a prerequisite for the overall functioning in the world. In old age, physical activity should be regarded as a necessity and a need for a peaceful, happy and healthy life.

PL

Artykuł charakteryzuje aktywność i aktywizację seniorów oraz personalistyczny wymiar tej aktywności, ukazuje także aktywność fizyczną jako sposób budowania relacji międzyludzkich. Mając na uwadze jedność psycho-fizyczno-duchową człowieka, proponuje się spojrzenie na aktywność fizyczną seniorów z perspektywy filozofii personalistycznej, by z niej czerpać inspiracje do aktywizacji starszego pokolenia. Aktywne starzenie się jest związane głównie z obszarami aktywności zawodowej i społecznej oraz szeroko rozumianą jakością życia opartą na dobrym zdrowiu. Pojęcie „aktywne starzenie się” coraz częściej zastępuje „pomyślna starość”. Niepodważalny element tej drugiej stanowi aktywność, której forma fizyczna jest warunkiem funkcjonowania w świecie. W okresie starości powinna być ona traktowana jako konieczność i potrzeba na drodze spokojnego, szczęśliwego i zdrowego życia.

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the undiscussed and yet very interesting issue of fashion and the clothing of senior citizens. The issue is analyzed here in relation to Georg Simmel’s concept of fashion and specifically his idea of imitation and distinctiveness inscribed in the fashion system. Simmel seems to indicate that the social order determined by fashion is more often respected by women than by men. Therefore, the issue of fashion and clothing is discussed in relation to the gender of the individual. Age is also important. In her own research among people aged 60 and over (a diagnostic survey and interviews), the author of the article sought answers to the following questions: what do seniors think about the clothing of today’s older people? Do they think they dress fashionably – in the sense of following the spirit of modern times, which promotes youth? What determines the way seniors dress in contemporary Poland? The respondents were aware of a change in how seniors dress today and view the change positively. The fashion behavior of seniors is more often approved by women than by men and by younger seniors rather than older ones.

Autorka prezentuje relację z badań ankietowych i wywiadów przeprowadzonych w Superjednostce w Katowicach i w dzielnicy Zatorze w Gliwicach, dotyczących środowiska zamieszkania osób starszych. Zwraca szczególną uwagę na specyfikę obu badanych środowisk. Jednym z najważniejszych problemów w badaniu Superjednostki było nawiązanie kontaktu z seniorami. Ich niechęć związana była z niskim poziomem zaufania wobec badaczy, niskim standardem warunków zamieszkania, brakiem poczucia spełnienia oraz trudnościami w zrozumieniu pytań. Jako przyczyny negatywnego postrzegania swego środowiska zamieszkania mieszkańcy podają: niskie poczucie bezpieczeństwa, liczne dysfunkcje mieszkań (bariery architektoniczne) oraz bardzo duże zagęszczenie mieszkańców. Istotnym atutem miejsca zamieszkania jest lokalizacja budynku w centrum Katowic, a więc łatwy dostęp do wszelkiego rodzaju instytucji użyteczności publicznej oraz rozrywek. Trudności w badaniu seniorów zamieszkałych w byłym patronackim osiedlu PKP były podobne do tych w Superjednostce. Autorka zwraca jednak uwagę na silne więzi sąsiedzkie i zaangażowanie w życie społeczności oraz przyzwyczajenie do niskiego standardu zamieszkania. Autorka podkreśla także jak ważne są podejście do badanych osób, sposób prowadzenia z nimi wywiadów i pozyskanie zaufania. Z artykułu wysuwa się istotny wniosek, iż funkcjonalność budynków powinna współgrać ze społecznymi potrzebami ludzi.

The author gives an account of questionnaire survey and interviews conducted in Superjednostka in Katowice and Zatorze district in Gliwice, concerning of senior's environment and living conditions. The author emphasizes the specificity of both environments. One of the most important problems during the survey was establishing contact with the seniors. Their negative attitude was connected with the lack of trust, low housing standard, the lack of fulfilment and difficulties in understanding the questions. Difficulties during the survey in former PKP settlement in Zatorze were similar to those experienced in Superjednostka. However, the author emphasizes strong relationship between tenants, their involvement into community affairs and their adjustment to low standards of housing. Finally the author explains how crucial is the right touch with the elderly, the way of interviewing and gaining their trust. In conclusion, funcionality of buildings should suit to people's needs.
