Map-based assessment of older adults’ life space. Validity and reliability
(BioMed Central, 28.11.2020) Hinrichs, Timo; Zanda, Adriana; Fillekes, Michelle P.; Bereuter, Pia; Portegijs, Erja; Rantanen, Taina; Schmidt-Trucksäss, Arno; Zeller, Andreas W.; Weibel, Robert
Background Map-based tools have recently found their way into health-related research. They can potentially be used to quantify older adults’ life-space. This study aimed to evaluate the validity (vs. GPS) and the test-retest reliability of a map-based life-space assessment (MBA). Methods Life-space of one full week was assessed by GPS and by MBA. MBA was repeated after approximately 3 weeks. Distance-related (mean and maximum distance from home) and area-related (convex hull, standard deviational ellipse) life-space indicators were calculated. Intraclass correlations (MBA vs. GPS and test-retest) were calculated in addition to Bland-Altman analyses (MBA vs. GPS). Results Fifty-eight older adults (mean age 74, standard deviation 5.5 years; 39.7% women) participated in the study. Bland-Altman analyses showed the highest agreement between methods for the maximum distance from home. Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged between 0.19 (95% confidence interval 0 to 0.47) for convex hull and 0.72 (95% confidence interval 0.52 to 0.84) for maximum distance from home. Intraclass correlation coefficients for test-retest reliability ranged between 0.04 (95% confidence interval 0 to 0.30) for convex hull and 0.43 (95% confidence interval 0.19 to 0.62) for mean distance from home. Conclusions While acceptable validity and reliability were found for the distance-related life-space parameters, MBA cannot be recommended for the assessment of area-related life-space parameters.

Technological infrastructure supporting the story network principle of the Atlas of the Ageing Society
(Česká geografická společnost, 2019) Zanda, Adriana; Lutz, Jonas; Heymann, Alesya; Bleisch, Susanne
Atlases have a long tradition of showing and linking information for the exploration of various mostly spatially related topics. Be Atlas of the Ageing Society is an interactive platform illustrating age related data. It enables individuals to explore facts and information related to age and the ageing society. To support content representation as well as a diverse audience, we developed the “story network principle”, which embeds annotated visualizations into a network of information in order to allow storytelling with data. Enabling the exploration of such a multifaceted and highly interconnected data landscape, however, posed some technical challenges. Bis paper describes and discusses a back-end implementation that meets the requirements of the story network principle from a technical perspective. We detail and exemplify the design and implementation of the atlas infrastructure to enable others to benefit from our developments and approaches to the challenges. Be story network principle is potentially applicable to a range of applications such as other atlases or digital portfolios.
