    Die Fertigkeit komplexe Probleme und Situationen unter sozialwissenschaftlicher und naturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive– in einer Mensch-Umwelt-Schnittstelle – zu erfassen und zu verstehen, ist im Hinblick auf eine adäquate fachliche Vermittlungim Geographieunterricht zentral und kann eine Herausforderung, insbesondere für angehende Lehrer*innen darstellen.Um dieser zu begegnen, wurde ein geographisches Erschließungsmodell (GEM), welches die Identifizierung von fachlichenZugängen ermöglichen soll und vor der didaktischen Analyse ansetzt, entwickelt. Es kann als Hinführung zur Sachanalyseangewendet werden und basiert auf drei Basiskonzepten (space, place, scale). Ziel ist die Strukturierung von Problemen undSituationen, also von Fachgegenständen, die durch eine fachdidaktische Herangehensweise ermöglicht werden soll. Dabeisollen die den Fachgegenständen zugrunde liegende Komplexität erkannt und unter unterschiedlichen Perspektiven jeweilsdekonstruiert werden. In diesem Artikel wird GEM am Beispiel des Brandrodungswanderfeldbaus und dem Problembeispiel –Bevölkerungsdruck / Raubbau im Tropischen Regenwald veranschaulicht

    The well-being of older Europeans is of increasing importance given the substantialageing of the population. This paper comprehensively analyses well-being forthe population aged 50+ in 26 European countries, using the newly proposedindicator “Years of Good Life” (YoGL), which measures the remaining yearsof life that an individual can expect to live in a “good” state. The indicatorenables the decomposition of well-being into various dimensions, thereby revealingimportant heterogeneities between regions and genders. Results show that numbersof YoGL at age 50 vary considerably between European countries. They are highestin Northern and Western European countries and lowest in Central and EasternEuropean countries, where many “good” years are lost due to low life satisfaction.Interestingly, the high life expectancy levels in Southern Europe do not translate intohigher numbers of YoGL, mainly due to the low levels of physical and cognitivehealth in this region. While women and men can expect to have similar numbersof YoGL, women are likely to spend a smaller proportion of their longer remaininglifetime in a good state. These results demonstrate the importance of using wellbeingindicators that consider population heterogeneity when measuring humanwell-being, especially for older populations

    Technology for older adults: Interaction instead of sensors (ITA Dossier No.53en, March 2021)

    -> Older adults interviewed in Vienna have a strong desire to spend their lives in their own homes, even in case of potential health issues. -> Older adults we asked associate living at home with autonomy, privacy, and dignity; this represents an important part of the perceived quality of life. -> To provide adequate support for aging people at home, technical aids as well as a good care infrastructure are needed. -> But under what conditions are technical aids considered useful by older people and what influence do technical aids have on their users’ quality of life? <br
