Esta dissertação de mestrado de Gerontologia, integra-se na elaboração de um projeto
denominado de “Covilhã-cidade amiga da pessoa idosa”, que tem por objeto tornar a cidade
da Covilhã membro da Plataforma Portuguesa das Cidades Amigas dos Idosos. Tem-se como
cumprimento as linhas de orientação que constam no projeto mundial “Cidades Amigas da
Pessoa Idosa” da OMS. Das áreas estratégicas referenciadas pelo Guia das Cidades Amigas do
Idoso, desenvolveram-se as seguintes temáticas: participação social, respeito e inclusão social.
A metodologia adotada é de base qualitativa, recorrendo-se a entrevistas semidiretivas a
informadores qualificados. Permitindo-se analisar uma amostragem da população da cidade da
Covilhã com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos. Para cada entrevista, origina-se uma ou mais
dimensões e analisam-se as problemáticas. Com a análise de resultados, surte a necessidade
de soluções que visem a promoção da participação social do idoso da Covilhã, elaborando-se
planos de ação que a promovam e a incentivem, seja através de atividades culturais,
recreativas, desportivas, lúdicas e religiosas. Essas iniciativas deverão ser responsabilidade das
entidades públicas, podendo laborar em parceria com as entidades privadas e de voluntariado.
A promoção da participação social, facilita a inclusão do idoso na comunidade, incute-se o
respeito entre gerações, promove-se o envelhecimento ativo e a qualidade de vida no idoso.
