A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Community Environment Adaptability for Elderly People Based on the Improved TOPSIS

As the main way of providing care for elderly people, home-based old-age care puts forward higher requirements for the environmental adaptability of the community. Five communities in Wuhu were selected for a comprehensive assessment of environmental suitability. In order to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the environmental adaptability of the community, we used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate the weight of each indicator and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method to evaluate the adaptability of community, as well as further analyses using a two-dimensional data space map. The results show that the Weixing community is the most suitable for the elderly and outdoor activities of the community.
