Community environmental assessment for migrant seniors’ mental health: a multi-attribute decision-making model

The DANP-V model provides a systemic approach to assess and improve community environments for elderly migrants' mental health, moving beyond isolated factors to address root causes within an interconnected system. The case study demonstrates that critical gaps often lie in culturally-specific (e.g., ancestral worship) and emotion-supporting (e.g., pet-friendly) elements, which are frequently overlooked. The study offers a robust framework for policymakers and designers to develop targeted, effective community improvement strategies.
