Resumen
Esta investigación trata sobre la medición de la amigabilidad de la ciudad de Heredia con los ancianos a partir de cuatro variables; la calidad de los barrios, entendidos como el entorno inmediato de los ancianos, la calidad y el acceso a las áreas verdes en la ciudad, a la ciudad utilizando transporte público y a una serie de servicios urbanos básicos en la vida de los ancianos, cada una medida a través de indicadores simples y combinados. Los resultados muestran que la ciudad de Heredia tiene una amigabilidad apenas aceptable, con áreas con baja y mediana amigabilidad, fruto de un pobre acceso a áreas verdes, de altos niveles de ruido, de flujo vehicular y de algunos servicios con poca accesibilidad.
This research analyzes the measurement of the friendliness level of the city of Heredia regarding elders based on four variables: the quality of neighborhoods -understood as the immediate environment of the elderly, quality and access to green areas in the city, access to different parts of the city using public transportation, and access to a some urban services, each measured through simple and combined indicators. The results of the research show that the city of Heredia has a barely acceptable friendliness level -with areas of low and medium-friendliness, due to poor access to green areas, high noise levels, high traffic flows, and some services with poor accessibility
