| China’s aging population is growing by the day,demonstrating the trend and characteristics of big size,rapid pace,and aging.The significance and necessity of developing an aging cause and elderly care service system have grown in prominence.The need for elderly care services is shifting from survival to development.The elderly are increasingly seeking a high-quality spiritual life as well as active engagement in social life.The traditional home-based elderly care model can no longer fulfill the elderly care demands.Institutional elderly care will become an important cornerstone of the future elderly care system.The elderly has a new knowledge of healthy elderly care and pay greater attention to emotional health concerns as people’s material life quality improves,and the quality of indoor public spaces in elderly care institutions has a critical influence on the emotional health of the elderly.However,there are substantial issues with the indoor public spaces of most elderly facilities in China.The space atmosphere is devoid of humanistic care and is incapable of meeting the living and spiritual requirements of the elderly.The solution to this problem is dependent on the use of practical and successful space optimization design methods which is a rather weak link in current research on indoor public spaces in elderly facilities.In response to this issue,this research tries to optimize the indoor public spaces in elderly facilities.Based on field research,this article deeply explores the environmental problems and causes of indoor public spaces.Put forward the hypothetical principles of targeted space optimization design,and use emotion measurement experiments to quantitatively evaluate and test the validity of the hypothetical principles.Then make targeted improvements to the space design principles,and establish a set of feasible space optimization design methods.First,this study was classed and sorted by a large number of elderly facilities in the field,and it thoroughly investigated the problems and causes of indoor public space form,spatial function,spatial boundary,and space atmosphere.Then,the hypothetical principle of indoor public space optimization for the elderly facilities was proposed.Second,an emotion measurement experiment is employed,which combines subjective emotion scales and objective physiological indicators.The influence mechanism of distinct architectural space scenes on the emotional health of the elderly is revealed by a complete examination of trait-anxiety scales,satisfaction surveys,heart rate variability,EEG signals,and other emotional measurement data.Quantify and assess the efficacy of the hypothetical concepts suggested in the prior fundamental study.Finally,a targeted improvement of the principles of space optimization.Establish a set of efficient and developing pension institutions indoor public space optimization design methods.And develop interpretation of operability and rationality.Support the successful construction of my country’s pension institutions,as well as the elderly care service system. |
