Study On The Characteristics Of Community Spatial Image Of Urban Children

Community is a vital part of children’s living environment.Its social and material basis are imperceptibly shaping children’s body and mind.At present,children in China are in a weak position in the spatial planning.The existing studies explore children’s perception and evaluation of the community from the perspective of children.However,the development of community governance and construction needs to pay attention to the existence of residents’ spatial experience and community memory.Therefore,this study adopts the spatial image as all the entry points and description methods to interpret the community environment from the perspective of children and propose the society Suggestions and Reflections on district construction.First of all,starting from the theoretical background and related research at home and abroad,this paper deeply analy zes the research technology route,research dimension and the factors affecting the spatial image of children.In terms of research methods,children should be regarded as active constructors and the investigation methods that give full play to children’s strengths should be emphasized,including mosaic research methods of photo mapping,image map and focus interview.The research dimensions are mainly from three aspects: Children’s spatial cognition,children’s place feelings and children’s image spatial s tructure.The influencing factors include residential area density,neighborho od space form,land use and other built-up environmental factors and social environmental factors such as playmates,parents’ perception of neighborhood environment and individua l activity.Secondly,according to the influence factors of the built environm ent of children’s spatial image,two communities in Changsha are selected for research.One community is the open low-density neighborhood Fengquan Gujing community,the other is the closed high-density residential community Vanke charm city community.During 2017-2019,the community space images of children in two communities were collected through six community activities and several individual interviews.The tools and methods used include mapping images,children guided community walks,photo mapping,interview questionnaires,mapping map markers.After that,the author deeply analyzes the three dimensions of children’s community space cognition,place emotion and image space structure in the two communities,and finds that there are some commonalities and many differences.Commonalities are mainly manifested in the strong perception of the game place and business place,the more positive feelings for the community,and the more one in the positive and negative place tendencies In addition,they construct their own image space with meaningful life nodes in the community.The difference of spatial cognition mainly lies in the game field,game object,street life and focus space;t he difference of place preference lies in recall efficiency and social space;the difference of image spatial structure lies in element richness,symbol,structure and scope.From the derivation of commonness and difference,we can see that the two communi ties have some deficiencies in street space,environment interaction,game field and neighborhood communication.In view of the problem,from the perspective of children’s space image,the current community construction should focus on two aspects: the imp rovement of children’s friendliness in the community space and the constructio n of community neighborhood capital and identification.In the aspect of improving children’s friendliness in the community space,we should build a street network to promote children’s independent activity,provide community environment availability,and carry out game field camp to meet children’s needs at the same time Made.In the aspect of community neighborhood capital and identification construction,we should rebuild community with children as catalyst,and pay attention to sustainable community construction with space resume.Finally,create a child friendly community environment,but also create a community environment friendly to all people.
