Abstract:
The subject of this publication focuses on the isolation problem. This can be considered a health and social problem since it has adverse health consequences to seniors. The objective of this research is to identify the relational patterns of the elderly in order to help recreate a network of relationships suited to their unique needs. The research method questions relationship dynamics, which include interactions with for example, alliances and desalliances, common points and affinities, meeting places including the use of social networks on the web. We study the new relational technologies around the notion of situation, described by Alex Mucchielli. The proposed work will rely on observation methods and interviews with isolated elderly. We want create a model of intervention which uses narrative methods for understand how the person built its social network
