Research On The Function And Space Model Of Urban Market

As the basic living facilities of the city,the food market has dual attributes,which are public and commercial.In the early stage of urban development,the commerciality of food market is more prominent and the publicity is weaker.However,with the development of the city,the publicity of food market gradually emerges in the middle and late stages of urban development.With its unique popularity and enormous vitality,food market has become a place to drive regional economy and even form tourism benefits.The function has changed.The development of Chinese cities varies widely.First-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai are developing rapidly,and the functions of food market carried in these cities are obviously different from other second and third-tier cities.However the construction of standardized food markets is now prevailing in China.This one-size-fits-all approach apparently ignores the different stage of urban development and regional diversities.Therefore,the author believes that in the process of building the vegetable market,a grading mechanism should be introduced.According to the regional characteristics and the main consumer groups and other conditions to build markets at different levels.So how food markets rated? What are the criteria at each rating? What factors will affect the rating? These questions are seemed very important.After doing the field work of more than ten food markets among domestic and foreign countries,the author selected eleven of them for qualitative research and quantitative analysis.Through the quantitative analysis of various levels of food market,the grading standard was deduced.This paper is about design.So standing at the perspective of space design,the grading standard limits the proportion of various functional spaces and the organization logic of them.The author unified the basic function space of food market in a certain space module,and adjusted the rhythm of the whole market space according to the pausibility of these spaces in a certain combination.The plausibility of different formats is deferent.The richness of the whole space will be enhanced.This strategy is a way to find diversity in food markets under a standardized system.See chapter 4 for standards and derivation at each level.The author believes that in addition to the analysis of the service scope,density and accessibility from the perspective of urban planning,the researches of food market are on the one hand,from the perspective of regional culture,and on the other hand,from the perspective of quantitative analysis based on facts standing at the perspective of space design.The author chose the latter.So this paper takes the specific food markets case as the research objects,and obtained quantitative criteria of vegetable market level through detailed quantitative research.Then combined with the design practice in chapter 5 for testing.Hoping to make a beneficial attempt in the transformation stage of Chinese food markets.
