Abstract:

When we deal with the locally peaceful phenomenon, there is a difference and imbalance in terms of peaceful distribution between the regions of the Turkish geography. In this context, a situation is observed in the east is empty, and in the west is quite the opposite full, and even the elderly are waiting for it. This imbalance in geographical distribution is due to the fact that the elderly people have different lifestyle models in different regions, their cultural differences and their different preferences of life. In the context of this study, the family structures of the elderly who remain in the Gulf of Istanbul in the east of Turkey and in the west of Turkey, their lives before the Gulf of Turkey, their ways of evaluating the Gulf of Turkey, were tried to be revealed by the quality analysis method. The study has conducted semi-structured discussions with elderly individuals in the living room in two different areas, including different lifestyle models, about their life preferences and future expectations, their experiences with regard to ageing, their perspectives and their problems. The findings of the study have been discussed in the context of the transformation of modern society into a core family and the change of the status of elderly individuals within society.
