Abstract

The increasing prevalence of e-participation in planning processes risks precluding older adult engagement. Our study calls upon a strategic e-participation framework to explore the opportunities and challenges of older adult e-participation in the most rapidly ageing and digitizing country on earth: China. Through thematic coding of interviews (n = 13) and statistical analysis of questionnaires (n = 120), we find that older age is not inherently a barrier to e-participation. Older adults are willing and interested in certain functions of e-participation, but more attention is needed on age-friendly accessibility, promotion, and design.
