Housing for senior citizens: A critical analysis of a participatory research process
This article offers a description and critical analysis of the participatory research process applied in the project Habitats, milieux de vie et participation sociale des aînés (Habitats, living environments and social participation of seniors). The analysis focuses on the conditions that favor the success of this process as well as on the difficulties encountered while realizing the project, and the solutions for overcoming them. The Habitats project has generated local spin-offs and inspired other research projects that will deepen the realities of dwellings, living environments and social participation of seniors.
