Abstract
The youth period, expressed as the process of transition from childhood to adulthood, is a
process that has its own unique lifestyle, values, social life expectancy, views and problems, as well as
physical and mental change. The old age process, which is the last phase of life, similarly has its own
characteristics. In addition to contributing to the socialization of the new generations by conveying
their experiences and knowledge they have gained over the years, the elderly, who have a reputation
in the society, can cope with many problems in the aging process with their physical and mental
changes. Therefore, the expectations, value judgments and views of the elderly and young , which are
in different age groups, can be different from each other. This study is based on interviews with a total
of 15 young and 15 elderly individuals residing in Burdur Center to evaluate and compare the
situation of young people who are considered to be at the beginning of life and the elderly in the last
stage of life. The obtained data were evaluated by categorical content analysis method and tried to be
analyzed by comparing the opinions of young and the elderly living in Burdur about the old age
process.
