Özet:

 The Hague Municipality is the first Dutch city to become a member of the World Health Organizations agefriendly cities network. The Hague Municipality aims to be a city where senior citizens continue their lives happily, actively, and with dignity and has put the Actieprogramma Haags Ouderenbeleid Action Plan for the Hagues Senior Citizen Policy into practice for this purpose. The aim of the action plan is to preserve senior citizens independence, empower their personal identity, and increase their self-confidence. Projects are also being developed within the framework of the action plan for individuals suffering from dementia. This study will evaluate the Haags Ontmoeten the Hague Meeting as an exemplary project. The Hague Meeting project was developed by Stichting Xtra with funding from the Hague Municipality in 2017 for senior citizens and their informal caregivers. Senior citizens are able to participate in a variety of activities in their own neighborhoods by meeting at the project partner institutions. Professionals and volunteers provide senior citizens and their caregivers with information, assistance, and support at various time using different methods. The projects primary target audience are vulnerable senior citizens. The project generally obtained positive results, but the same results could not be obtained for Turkish or Moroccan senior citizens. This study recommends that the project coordinators invest in key people so that the Hague Meeting reaches the immigrant senior citizens.

 Lahey Belediyesi Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün yaş dostu kentler ağına üye olan ilk Hollanda kenti olmuştur. Bu amaçla Lahey Belediyesi tarafından Laheydeki Yaşlılar Politikası İçin Eylem Programı Actieprogramma Haags Ouderenbeleid uygulamaya konulmuştur. Eylem planının amacı yaşlı bireylerin bağımsızlığını korumak, kişisel kimliğini güçlendirmek ve özgüvenini arttırmaktır. Eylem planı çerçevesinde demanslı bireyler için de projeler geliştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada örnek bir proje olarak Laheyce Buluşma Haags Ontmoeten değerlendirilecektir. Laheyce Buluşma projesi Lahey Belediyesi fonu ile Stichting Xtra tarafından 2017de yaşlılar ve onların gönüllü bakıcıları informal care givers için geliştirilmiştir. Proje kapsamında yaşlı bireyler kendi mahallelerinde, proje ortağı kurumlarda buluşarak çeşitli faaliyetlere katılabilmektedirler. Kurumlarda profesyoneller ve gönüllü kişiler tarafından yaşlı bireylere ve bakıcılarına farklı zaman ve yöntemlerle bilgi, yardım ve destek sunulmaktadır. Projenin öncelikli hedef kitlesi hassas yaşlı bireylerdir. Proje genelinde olumlu sonuçlar elde edilmiştir, fakat aynı sonuç özellikle Türk ve Faslı yaşlı bireylerde elde edilememiştir. Laheyce Buluşma projesinin göçmen yaşlı bireylere ulaşması için, proje koördinatörlerin kilit kişilere yatırım yapmasını öneriyoruz.
