Özet: Global demographic change has brought the elderly rights to the agenda once again, and it has become necessary to explain all communities that human rights have to be maintained after the age of 60-65. Elderly rights should be handled as a part of universal human rights and with dimensions of learning, responsibility, policy, participation, sharing, solidarity and service. In this study, in order to present a concept on elderly rights from the perspective of Interventional Gerontology, the data of “Antalya Aging Survey” (AYAR©) was examined and a road map to improve elderly rights was drawn. Within the scope of AYAR©, the elderlies who lives in Antalya (aged 60 and over) were randomly selected from the Address Based Population Registration System (n=1007) and the percentage of elderlies who have regular income has determined (51.2%). On the next stage, the income probability of all elderlies who lives in Antalya has been calculated. In the Antalya population of 60 years and over, the probability/rate of income decreases as the age of elderlies increases, hence, economic dependency increases. While the probability/rate of income is higher in the group of men aged 60-74 compared to same aged women, the probability/rate of income increases in the group aged 75 and over in favor of women. In the last part of the study, it is shown how to plan the interventions in terms of Interventional Gerontology and how to implement them to ensure economic equality and to resolve economic poverty which is elderly-rights problem. A road map concept consisting of six implementation stages of interventions is presented: 1) Duty, 2) Problem and condition analysis, 3) Foresight of development and failure, 4) Development and the reasons of intervention targets, 5) The measures and reasons of the decisions taken, 6) Evaluating the measures and decisions. This study will guide decision makers and practitioners in planning and conducting national and international studies to protect the rights of elderlies.
