The fact that aging-in-place and elderly migration are intricately linked has been overlooked by behavioral approaches to elderly migration. "Humanistic" inquiry has provided important insights into aging-in-place and elderly migration as well as the connection between the two. Humanistic approaches, however, do not encapsulate the full range of experience involved in elders' lives. To move beyond humanistic research and key concepts such as place attachment, the philosophy of John Dewey is introduced. Dewey's viewpoint is merged with the geographical concept of place into what is termed "place integration." This perspective is subsequently compared with humanistic perspectives on aging-in-place and elderly migration decision-making. Fundamental differences such as temporal orientation and substantive focus are illustrated and discussed. Conclusions address the utility of such a perspective.
就地养老与老年人迁移之间紧密相连这一事实,被有关老年人迁移的行为学方法所忽视。“人文主义”探究为就地养老、老年人迁移以及二者之间的联系提供了重要见解。然而,人文主义方法并未涵盖老年人生活中所涉及的全部经历。为了超越人文主义研究以及诸如场所依恋等关键概念,引入了约翰·杜威的哲学思想。杜威的观点与场所的地理概念相结合,形成了所谓的“场所融合”。随后,将这一视角与关于就地养老和老年人迁移决策的人文主义视角进行了比较。阐述并讨论了诸如时间取向和实质重点等根本差异。结论论述了这一视角的效用。
