Attitudes toward the Community This study does not purport to investigate the reasons for which older people moves We may assume, however, that a person's reasons for moving are associated with his attitude toward a community or neighborhood,, Among elderly people, job-oriented factors will probably play a minor role in their choice of accommodation, while location and economic considera- tions will perhaps feature more prominently. To the elderly in the "target area", it appears that the locat...ion of the Back Bay was the most important issueo Table 17 shows what elderly people considered to be some of the good things about living in their neighbordhoodo The most favorable aspect of the "target area" as seen by its elderly residents, was its location, its convenience to shopping, to churches and synagogues, and particularly to public transportation systems o People-oriented reasons, such as the desire to be near family and the sociability of friends and neighbors, appeared to be relatively unimportant to the Back Bay elderly o Economic reasons featured so in- significantly as to be negligible— this is true of all the aged groups » Among the city and metropolitan aged, people-oriented factors were considered the most desirable aspect of living in the neighborhoods Asked what they felt could be done to improve their neighborhoods (Table 18) , some obvious differences in opinion emerged between the "target area" group and the others c The need for community protective services, chiefly extra police protection, featured very strongly among the Back Bay aged, as did a concern with intergroup relations and delin- quency in the areae Concern with improved housing and property maintenance, lower rents and slum clearance etC: , appeared to be the major tangible concern of the city aged, while the metropolitan aged expressed more interest in local government than the Back Bay group o All three groups expressed a strong need for improved public services such as street cleaning and maintenances Attitudes toward Retirement Not so many years ago, retirement was viewed by many people as the curtailment of one's active j working life^ Today there is a growing aware- ness that retirement does not necessarily go hand in hand with a rapid 8 decline In life, and that people who have led active lives can continue to be active and productive In their later years « The Back Bay elderly appear to be a case In point.
