| A healthy landscape is an important indicator of urban civilisation.There are a large number of old neighbourhoods in the city for renewal,and most of the external environments in the old neighbourhoods do not fully meet the requirements of health because of their construction,concentrating on the lack of material conditions,the indifference of neighbourhoods,the loss of the sense of belonging and the neglect of the needs of the inhabitants.Therefore,it is important to study the external environment of older neighbourhoods based on a health perspective.This paper presents a theoretical study of the basic elements of a healthy landscape.The study also conducted on-site research in a typical old neighborhood in Bao He District of Hefei City,which was divided into three parts: image collection of the landscape environment to understand its usage;observation of the behavioral activities and needs of the population;and distribution of research and evaluation questionnaires to the residents of the neighborhood.This research is closely integrated with the concept of health,and an in-depth analysis of the object-landscape environment,the subjectresidents and the behavior of the residents is conducted,and it is concluded that the general problems of old neighborhoods are the lack of healthy ecological sustainability,the lack of healthy environmental space,the imperfection of healthy public facilities and the lack of humanistic environment.Combined with relevant theoretical research,the principles of healthy landscape design for old neighborhoods are proposed,including individual,group,social and ecological health.The healthy landscape design strategy for old neighbourhoods in the article is exp ressed in the form of universal design guidelines,which mainly include landscape space,planting and public facilities.The study will contribute to the design practice of health y landscape environments in old neighbourhoods in the future. |
