Rad je nastao kao rezultat višegodišnjih terenskih istraživanja među populacijom starih lica u Beogradu. Istraživanjem sam obuhvatila stavove o starosti mojih sugrađana koji žive sami, onih koji žive sa svojom porodicom, kao i onih koji žive u Gerontološkom centru. Bavim se i mestom starih u mreži susedskih odnosa u jednoj beogradskoj opštini (Vračar). U veku dugovečnih i globalne ekonomske krize koja je zahvatila svet i Srbiju korisno bi bilo preispitati koncepte kvalitetnog starenja (eng. successful aging, well aging ili healthy aging). The paper presents the results of several years' fieldwork among the elderly population in Belgrade. The study examines the attitudes towards old age of elderly Belgraders living alone, those living with their families, and also those living in the Gerontology Center nursing home. The position of elderly people in the social network in the Belgrade municipality of Vračar is also explored. In this era of longevity and at a time of global economic crisis which is also affecting Serbia, it would be useful to reconsider the concepts of successful aging, well-aging and healthy aging.
