中文摘要：

西方国家老龄化地理研究进展可分为3个阶段。20世纪80年代及以前，研究重点集中在老年人地理集中、老年人健康与环境、为老服务政策研究等；20世纪90年代，研究主要集中于人口老龄化空间趋势、老龄化设施和环境、老年人保健和护理以及基于人文主义视角的老年人个人日常经验分析等；21世纪以来，研究方法呈现多元化，研究内容由传统主题日益转向老年人个体日常现实经验的微观层面研究。最后本文结合中国老龄化地理学研究现状，提出国内相关研究在研究视角、内容和方法上的可借鉴之处。

英文摘要：

The research on geographies of ageing in Western countries can bedivided into three stages.Before the1980s,research focused on the descriptiveempirical analysis of geographic concentration of the elderly,health andenvironment of the elderly,policy orientation for the provision of old services.In the1990s,the research mainly focused on spatial differences intrends of population ageing,the varied settings and environments of ageing,health care and caregiving,and the daily personal experience of older personsfrom a humanist perspective.Since the21st century,influenced by the theoryof social criticism and the cultural shift,the research methods have been diversified,and the research contents have been changed from the traditionalsubjects to the microcosmic aspects of the daily experience of the elderly.This paper reviews the studies on geographies of ageing in western countriesand combines with the domestic research summary,puts forward the referencevalue of foreign studies for the domestic related research on research perspective,research contents and research methods.
