Der Anteil der älteren Bevölkerung in Österreich wächst. Vor allem in ländlichen Regionen, die von Abwanderung betroffen sind, steigt der Prozentsatz von Personen im Alter über 65 Jahren an. Herausforderungen wie gesundheitliche Einschränkungen und erschwerte individuelle Mobilität, die das Alter mit sich bringen, lassen sich dabei vor allem in Orten mit ausgedünnter Infrastruktur und Versorgungseinrichtungen nur schwer überwinden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden einerseits Herausforderungen des demografischen Wandels mit dem Fokus auf ländliche Regionen präsentiert, andererseits wird dargestellt, welche Rolle Gebietskörperschaften spielen können, um diese zu meistern. Am Beispiel der Kleinregion Schneebergland werden Ergebnisse aus dem EU-geförderten Projekt »Active Ageing«, in welchem die Herausforderungen des Älter-Werdens intensiv behandelt wurden, präsentiert.... view less
