Research On The Utilization Of Parks By Old People

The article used the methods of investigating;questionnaire;asking and documents to study the present situation of utilization of parks by elderly and use Analysis of number accumulation ; analysis of liner; SPSS and SAS statistic software; Likert Scale and Equal-Appearing Intervals to deal with data in order to provide some new theoretical guidance for the likely parks for the elderly. Both individual attribute and park Contents come within the scope of this article and conclusions are obtained as follows:Research on the physical characteristics of the elderly in their utilization of parks: In the eyes of the Age structure of elderly, the largest (46.10%) group is middle age elderly (70-79) and the least (16.46) group is high age elderly (80-89). In the eyes of the sex ratios, a male to female ratio of 1.09:1 and 1.03 means that the numbers of male and female is nearly equal. In the eyes of the cultural structure of elderly, educational level of the elderly is apparently less than common people. In the eyes of the mental needs, elderly urgently needs for getting near; safe, comfort and convenient parks and this means active space less than ten square metres; a bright color design; terse lines;comfort seat and determinate route for one to explore, re-visit etc.In the eyes of the physical need,The best range of a variable of Stride Length is between in 39.27cm—74cm. If the continuous steps less than two that the best high of a step should be between 17cm-22cm.; If the continuous steps more than six that the best high of a step should be between 15cm-17cm; If the continuous steps more than twelve that it should be level roads in half to buffer tired. If the lope of a rout is 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 18% that it should have seats every 250m; 70m; 35m; 20m; 10m. The best communicate diameter is less than 3m. The most fit Formula of the distance to watch is L≈3.22(H-h)in vertical scope of 30°and is L≈1.06W in horizontal scope of 30°.In the eyes of the appreciation of the beauty of the elderly, The old people likes to be hit by color of lightness group more because of physiology. The proportion choosing the red female old people at the same time overtops the male sex obviously. Color allocation aspect, Major old people are fond of gorgeous, intense, easy perception color or color collocation more. Major old people are fond of warm-toned collocation more because of mentality due to they live from hoping that the color by the fact that these approach sunlight drops a hint of being full of a vigor's and Look for once some youth print.Result about park content:The park serve radius suitable to old people have three grades that threshold distance within 500 ms and 500 m-600m are right away at short range and 600 m-1500m are convenient distance and 1500 m-2000m are may reaching distance. Based on centre field theory of the city geography we bring forward 1:2:4 ideal patterns to distribute the park in the city. This pattern can ensured that old people in 1 area owns convenient distance to two stage park and owns reaching distance to one stage park,; old people in 2 area own convenient distance to one-level park and owns reaching distance to two-level park; The old people in 3 area owns convenient range to one-level park and owns reaching distance to three-level park; The old people in 4 area owns short range to one-level park and owns reaching distance to neighborhood park. Thus form a park network complementing each other to make the old people satisfied with distance to the park.Relation of park scale and the old people using of parks:Simple park scale has not direct correlativity with the number, using frequencies, staying time, coming distance of the elderly.We divide routine facilities in park into five major kinds according to the function including View and admire, body-building, rest, entertainment, auxiliary facilities and subdivide them into 31 small kinds. The degree of satisfaction the old people to facilities is low (<50%). They think that the most outstanding problem in park facilities being grave manages at present; the kind does not enrich and quantity is insufficient secondly. Further study gets the order of all kinds of facilities; what the elderly fond of most is body-building equipment s among body-building facilities and show s that they solicitude for the activity amount most and the following is safety , warm tone color , fluent line , mild material quality; The elderly fond of the chess and plate paradise most among the entertainment facilities in parks and shows that they solicitude for the space safe for the most; the following is safe , well shading, hygiene, graceful and surrounded; The elderly fond of the mountain, water, seat and plant most among the View and admire facilities and shows that they think the most important attributes of the seats are mild material quality, well shading, having the seat back ,arm and warm tones color; The elderly care of the garbage can , toilet , facial most among the auxiliary facilities in parks and shows that they think the most important attributes of the toilet is abundance, close , free , hygiene and beautiful.In research of park space, we divided the space elements into 8 big categories (17 smaller categories). 10 places being inquired into 4 big types according to the average number and utilization forms of elderly of areas, which are those that investigation areas elderly number and utilization forms are all little; investigation areas elderly number is many and utilization forms are little; investigation areas elderly number is little and utilization forms are many; investigation areas elderly number and utilization forms are many. The result counting uses SAS mathematics software to analyze and get result: The most important space elements are View and admires, umbrageous condition, wave plant, body-building and rest condition. In the same time, safe, conveniently researching and rounded are cared by elderly too.
