Research On The Design Of Age-appropriate Products Based On The Leisure And Entertainment Methods Of Rural Elderly Groups

Since the Party Central Committee first proposed the implementation of the "rural revitalization strategy",the state has attached great importance to the development of rural economic construction.By improving the level of rural economy,it will promote people’s daily living standards,health levels and education levels.The aging of the population is a problem that China has always talked about and needs to be solved urgently.Therefore,the state also pays special attention to the elderly group,especially to their spiritual needs,consumption concepts and behavioral habits.This paper explores the method of designing entertainment products for the elderly by taking the rural elderly group as the research object,starting from the current situation of the aging background of China’s society,the investigation of the living conditions,their own characteristics and related needs of the rural elderly population,and the analysis of related entertainment products at home and abroad,and provides research support for the aging design of rural entertainment products.It is hoped that the research can achieve the expected goal of transforming the elderly group from "living in old age" to "enjoying old age",and can attract the attention of the design community and related enterprises,which provides a practical reference and theoretical basis for the design and development of entertainment products for the rural elderly group in China.First of all,at the theoretical foundation level,mainly through the definition of leisure and entertainment products,the theory of aging products and the relevant theoretical discussion of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs,the aging design concept of leisure and entertainment products is proposed.And Maslow’s five different requirements analysis to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent aging design.Secondly,at the level of product design,through the analysis of the current design status of leisure and entertainment products for the elderly group,the structure,function,form,color and material of existing products are compared,so as to provide a breakthrough point for design innovation in the later design practice,and seek the design concept and new development direction suitable for this thesis.Thirdly,from the perspective of users,through literature review and field research and analysis,the existing living conditions and existing entertainment methods of the rural elderly group are sorted out,and the existing problems in the physiology,psychology and other aspects of the existing elderly group are summarized,as well as the differences in behavioral habits,leisure and entertainment and daily social interaction in daily life.Deeply understand the actual needs of the elderly group in daily life,as well as applicability and other issues,and provide practical support for design practice.Finally,on the basis of the age-appropriate design theory,the design practice of the facility products of the leisure and entertainment mode of the rural elderly group is carried out,which verifies the feasibility and guidance of the aging design theory on the design of the facility products of the leisure and entertainment mode of the rural elderly group.In summary,this project studies the design of facility products for leisure and entertainment in rural elderly groups,analyzes the behavioral characteristics,living habits,daily social interaction and other characteristics of the elderly groups,obtains the needs of suitable for aging,and proposes design research suitable for functional aging,modeling suitable aging and emotional suitable aging.Through the design research and expansion of leisure and entertainment products for rural elderly groups,it provides more leisure and entertainment experience for rural elderly groups and makes positive contributions to China’s rural aging design.
