Many people wish to remain in current residence for as long as possible. Nonetheless, they do think about their residential future. For older people the question of where to live must be considered with respect to age-related changes and continuity. So far only little research has been focused on the influence of the subjective perception of remaining lifetime until death on plans for the future, for example regarding relocation.
This study investigated the influence of the subjective perception of time left to live on relocation planning and its timing in the further course of life.
The data were obtained from a paper-pencil questionnaire including 2156 persons aged 50 years and older (average age 65.5 years, SD = 9.7 years, range 50-94 years, 51.1 % female) who were asked about their wishes and plans for the future, particularly about their relocation considerations and the subjective perception of remaining time until death.
Approximately 39 % of the subjects considered relocation in the further course of life. Besides social demographics, current housing and the state of health, the subjective time left in life had a significant influence on the consideration of relocation and its timing in the further course of life. Persons who perceived their time horizon as limited considered relocation later in life (temporizing relocation planning) than persons who perceived themselves to have more time left in life. Their temporal occurrence of precautionary relocation planning is embedded earlier in the course of life.
Thoughts about the residential future of older people should be considered not only in connection with the content of these wishes but also related to the future time perspective and the timing in the further course of life. This can be of assistance in consultation and decision-making situations.
许多人希望尽可能长时间地居住在当前住所。尽管如此，他们确实会考虑自己的居住未来。对于老年人来说，必须结合与年龄相关的变化和连续性来考虑居住地点的问题。到目前为止，只有很少的研究关注对剩余寿命直至死亡的主观感知对未来计划的影响，例如关于搬迁的计划。
本研究调查了对剩余生存时间的主观感知对搬迁计划及其在生命后续阶段时间安排的影响。
数据来自一份纸质问卷，调查对象为2156名50岁及以上的人（平均年龄65.5岁，标准差=9.7岁，年龄范围50 - 94岁，女性占51.1%），询问了他们对未来的愿望和计划，特别是关于他们的搬迁考虑以及对剩余直至死亡时间的主观感知。
约39%的受试者考虑在生命后续阶段搬迁。除了社会人口统计学、当前住房和健康状况外，剩余生命的主观时间对搬迁考虑及其在生命后续阶段的时间安排有显著影响。认为自己剩余时间有限的人比认为自己还有更多剩余时间的人在生命后期才考虑搬迁（延迟搬迁计划）。他们预防性搬迁计划的时间点在生命过程中更早出现。
对于老年人居住未来的思考，不仅应结合这些愿望的内容，还应与未来时间视角以及生命后续阶段的时间安排相关联。这在咨询和决策情况下可能会有所帮助。
