Research On The Strategy Of Public Space Suitable For Aging In Traditional Blocks

The aging of population is an irreversible global trend.Compared with other urban areas,the aging degree of traditional blocks is higher.Due to the increase of leisure time for the elderly,outdoor public space has become an important place for their daily activities.Due to the problems left over by history,there are many problems in traditional blocks,such as insufficient public space,relatively imperfect facilities,poor health environment and so on.In the practice of large-scale renewal of traditional blocks in China,renovation activities are often aimed at the general public,but there is a lack of special design for special groups such as the elderly.These problems affect the daily activities of the elderly.The economic benefit oriented street reconstruction activities pursue economic benefits unilaterally,and the improvement of the overall environment of the block is limited.In addition,the people’s demand for material and culture in the traditional block is rising day by day,so the traditional block gradually loses its attraction for the elderly and their communication activities.Based on the above phenomenon,combined with literature research,observation research,questionnaire,interview,analogy analysis and other research methods,this paper takes the traditional block of Dongsi street in Beijing as the research object.On the premise of learning the relevant government policies,it focuses on understanding the theoretical knowledge about the transformation of historical blocks.By absorbing the theory and practical experience of the aging transformation of public space in old cities at home and abroad,This paper analyzes the basic principles and development trend of the design of public space suitable for aging,and investigates the Dongsi Street area of Beijing,focusing on the renewal strategy of building the traditional block public space suitable for the elderly.Based on the investigation and analysis of the daily travel activities and street space demand of the elderly in the research area,the basic characteristics of the daily travel activities and street space demand of the elderly are summarized.Combined with the current situation of street space construction and aging satisfaction evaluation,this paper analyzes the aging construction problems and influencing factors of public space in traditional blocks,and deeply analyzes the causes of the problems.Starting from the material environment of the public space and the characteristics of the elderly activities,this paper summarizes the strategies of the public space suitable for the aging of traditional blocks in Beijing,so as to promote the coordinated coexistence of the historical blocks and the elderly leisure activities.
