This study attempts to trace the tracks of environmental gerontology, consisting of the knowledge gained from research of the elderly and the environment which surrounds them. This process revealed the existence of ecological and transactional perspectives within the genealogy of environmental gerontology which attempt to understand person and environment as a unified whole. To further clarify these perpsectives embodied by such research, a series of studies exploring the environmental experiences of the elderly with regard to their experiences of behaviors and actions, places, and artifacts are introduced. Finally, based on these studies, four important research themes in the fields of environmental gerontology are described.
