The Impact of Urban and Rural Environments on Social Support and Wellbeing in Patna's Elderly Population

Author(s) Amit Kumar
Country India
Abstract This study investigates the impact of urban and rural environments on social support and wellbeing among the elderly population in Patna, India. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 400 elderly individuals, equally distributed between urban and rural settings. Our analysis reveals significant differences in the levels and types of social support available to the elderly in these distinct environments. Urban elderly benefit from better access to healthcare and social services but report higher levels of loneliness and stress. In contrast, rural elderly experience stronger community bonds and familial support, though they face challenges due to limited healthcare infrastructure and economic resources. The study highlights the critical role of social networks in enhancing wellbeing and underscores the need for tailored interventions to address the unique challenges faced by elderly populations in both urban and rural areas. Recommendations include the development of community-based programs to strengthen social support systems and improve access to essential services, aiming to enhance the overall wellbeing of Patna's elderly residents. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between environment, social support, and wellbeing, providing a foundation for policymakers to create more inclusive and supportive communities for the aging population.
