| Popis | Different planning concepts highlight how integrating spatial and temporal dimensions in urban design can advance sustainable accessibility and well-being. Approaches like the X-minute City (XmC) emphasize locating daily services and amenities within close reach, mitigating spatiotemporal injustice and reducing car dependency. Yet, a key challenge lies in developing robust methods to analyze the spatiotemporal dimensions of these opportunities specifically for older adults living in smaller cities who can face unique mobility barriers. This paper presents a methodological framework for understanding how older adults (65+) navigate service availability across space and different time frames. First, we apply a chronotopic mapping approach, analysing spatiotemporal open data—e.g. store opening hours and GTFS transit information—to generate mobility and opportunity sketches of daily points of interest in three case studies located in Czech Republic, Estonia, and Sweden. These study areas, differing in size, governance, and urban characteristics, offer diverse insights into the interplay of context-specific spatiotemporal factors. Second, participatory mapping sessions will enrich these sketches as older adults use mapping and GIS tools to locate anchor points and share personal mobility narratives. These narratives highlight individual routines, place-based meanings, and time constraints shaping daily mobility strategies. By integrating quantitative analyses of transport and service datasets with qualitative insights from participants, we illustrate how barriers arise where local infrastructures, public transport, service hours, and rhythms intersect. In exploring the XmC concept—underscoring accessible local services without presupposing travel time or speed in contrast to 15mC concept—we explore whether and how mismatches between older adults’ needs and urban temporal structures compromise accessibility. Finally, by discussing the use of data from multiple case studies, including OpenStreetMap, we address challenges related to data consistency and availability. Taken together, our contribution stresses the value of inclusive data practices and participatory engagement in shaping more age-friendly planning. |
