| Since entering the aging society in 2000,China’s aging population has increased rapidly.With the improvement of people’s living standards,the needs of the elderly have gradually attracted the attention of the society.The current research on ageing-related research mainly focuses on the environmental transformation of old unit communities,public housing,elderly care communities,and health care institutions.There is not enough attention to urban comprehensive parks,the main place for the elderly to engage in outdoor activities.As an important part of the urban space,the comprehensive park ignores the behavior and usage needs of the elderly and needs to be improved urgently.Proposing the concept of active aging also provides a more reasonable research direction and new design ideas for the design of urban comprehensive parks suitable for aging.Active and harmonious outdoor activity spaces suitable for aging are beneficial to alleviate the pressure of aging,improve discrimination against,and build an elderly-friendly city is of great significance.This paper takes the Cultural Park,a comprehensive park in small towns with a serious degree of aging.which is the main place for the nearby elderly to carry out outdoor activities.There are a large number of residential areas around it,which is the main place for the nearby elderly to carry out outdoor activities.However,the park pursues formalization at the beginning of design and does not take into account the needs of the elderly.Therefore,the transformation of the cultural park to adapt to aging is extremely urgent.This paper takes the Cultural Park as the research object,combines the physiological,psychological and behavioral characteristics of the elderly,and integrates the relevant concepts of positive aging.The physical environment suitable for aging of the cultural park is investigated,the selection of activity space for the elderly based on different activity types and the feeling needs of the elderly are studied,and the aging transformation design of the cultural park is carried out.It is hoped that it can provide valuable guiding suggestions for the aging transformation design of public green space in other cities.Firstly,this paper combs the relevant theories and research of aging adaptation,summarizes the relevant cases of aging adaptation design at home and abroad,excavates the surface and deep needs of the elderly,and summarizes the basic aging adaptation needs through systematic analysis and summary,combined with the physiological,psychological and behavioral characteristics of the elderly;Integrate the concept of active aging and summarize the demand level of active aging;Guide the aging transformation design of the comprehensive park and take it as the research basis.Secondly,according to the two levels of demand,this paper investigates the current situation of adaptive aging of cultural parks.The research on aging suitable material environment analyzes the location conditions,traffic organization,overall layout,functional zoning layout and the current situation of supporting facilities of the cultural park;Investigation on the current situation of activities for the elderly.For physical health activities,mental health activities,social activities and social relations activities,14 spaces such as equipment fitness field,circular runway,flower bed square,diabolo green space and Yongcui viewing are selected as the main activity spaces,the advantages and disadvantages of activity spaces are analyzed,and the characteristics of activity spaces of different activity types are summarized,Combined with the satisfaction of the elderly with the activity space,this paper comprehensively explores the aging adaptation of the Cultural Park,so as to provide the basis and direction for the aging adaptation design.Finally,combined with the two demand levels and the current situation investigation,the aging transformation design of the cultural park includes two parts:one is the basic aging transformation,which carries out the basic upgrading and transformation of the cultural park from the external traffic flow line,entrance and exit,parking lot,internal traffic flow line and aging facilities.The second is the appropriate aging transformation under the positive aging,and puts forward four transformation strategies:positive health activities,positive mental health,positive social relations and active participation.For active health activities,four typical activities are selected:equipment fitness.walking and jogging,diabolo shaking,whip throwing and sword dancing,and the vitality fitness area,color vitality runway,diabolo paradise and independent development space are selected for transformation and design.For positive mental health,combined with different types of activities such as viewing,sitting in and watching performances for the elderly,Yongcui viewing,rain Pavilion and step theater are selected for transformation design.For positive social relations,social networking,child care and shuttlecock kicking are selected,and based on these three activities,interactive communication Park,children’s activity area and idle space are selected for transformation design.For active activities,Taijiquan and square dance are selected,and based on these two activities,fitness activity square,Riverside square and five senses horticultural space are selected for aging transformation design. |
