Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento da população é um dos grandes desafios do século XXI. Juntamente com a
alteração da estrutura familiar, e com a perda, por vezes, de algumas das funções que antes eram
asseguradas pela família, um dos grupos da população que tem ficado mais vulnerável é o dos
idosos. O presente trabalho explora o conceito do Ageing in place e tem como objeto de estudo a
descrição do Coliving como uma forma alternativa de residência para os tempos atuais, tendo em
conta as novas formas de relacionamento social e os benefícios sociais que podem agregar essa
alternativa de moradia. Através da metodologia de estudo de caso, analisam-se três experiências
de Coliving em curso em Portugal. Para a caracterização de cada resposta, foram realizadas
entrevistas com os diretores técnicos, bem como com alguns residentes. Apesar de os serviços
apresentados não terem sido constituídos de base e por iniciativa dos integrantes, mas sim serem
propostos e geridos por organizações sociais terceiras, mostram-se como exemplos de alternativas
viáveis de soluções residenciais para idosos com autonomia. Os residentes reconhecem no
Coliving uma mais-valia para um envelhecimento na comunidade e de combate ao isolamento
social.
