摘要

Background

Options for physical activity provided free of charge are a low-threshold form of municipal health promotion. They are supported by structural prevention measures of the city as design of streets, pavements or green areas. The neighbourhood walks created in Dresden enable people to preserve physical flexibility up to old age and support their self-help abilities and social contacts.

Methods

The original idea of “Mobility in the neighbourhood” were guided walks. In the further course, “favourite places” were assembled in group work in Senior Citizens’ Centres and brochures were developed on that basis. In an externally funded project, a manual was developed and the knowledge was imparted to multipliers in several training sessions. The training and the creation process were evaluated by means of a survey at three points in time. The evaluation showed a positive assessment of the training and the training manual, but also some structural barriers. The group work on the walks contributed to an activation of participants.

Results

There is strong demand for the brochures, while participant numbers on guided tours fluctuate strongly. The measure has been put on a sustainable basis; multipliers come forward on their own and acquire knowledge in trainings. An extension to other target groups takes place. The project has been transferred to other municipalities.

Conclusion

This successful bottom-up measure leads to an empowerment of participating groups. It addresses physical flexibility, cognitive and communication skills and strengthens the attachment to one’s city district. The project was refined and put on a long-term basis.
