Resumo
O presente trabalho estudou as territorialidades do lazer e do turismo dos idosos no município de Rio Claro / SP, visando colaborar com os debates sobre esse tema, com o diagnóstico das oportunidades de lazer e turismo para idosos, com a elaboração de propostas de políticas públicas de lazer e turismo. A caracterização dos Grupos de Idosos de Rio Claro procurou mostrar meandros de uma realidade que se desdobra no processo de envelhecimento. Os dados coletados e expostos nesta pesquisa permitiram traçar um perfil de idosos que participam de grupos organizados em Rio Claro.

Gostariam de ter mais oportunidades de passeios e atividades físicas e, por isso, demandam ações do poder público.Considerando que o contingente de idosos de Rio Claro já é muito significativo no conjunto da população da cidade e que sua organização lhes dá visibilidade, poder político e consciência de direitos, será cada vez maior a pressão destes sobre o poder público e sobre a sociedade civil. Os espaços que freqüentam e que constituem seu território são limitados, quer pelas condições econômicas de acesso, quer por limitações físicas pessoais ou pela falta de acolhimento adequado quanto a infra-estruturas e atividades. Os grupos se organizam espontaneamente, sem regras formais definidas, sem coordenação central, sem programação mínima (exceto as reuniões semanais), em espaços muitas vezes inadequados. Há grande diferenciação entre os grupos pelo perfil...

They have been inside of the group for more than five years and have considered housework, elderly group participation, short trips mainly to the beaches as leisure. More opportunities of trips and physical activities have been their will, such opportunities demand actions of the public office. Considering that the number of elderly in Rio Claro has been quite significant in relation to the city inhabitants and its organization brings visibility, political power and conscience of their rights, the pressure over the public offices and the society will be bigger. The places they use to go which are their territories are limited, due to their social economic conditions or because of their physical limits or the lack of infrastructures and activities. The groups have organized spontaneously, without formal rules, headquarter, schedules (except the weekly meetings) and most of the time inadequate spaces. There is a big differentiation among them due to their socioeconomic profile which has been shown in the local meetings and in the performed activities. The study establishes a territory which has been used and makes new ones for the elderly and the elderly groups... (Complete abstract, click electronic address below)
