Research On The Color Design Of Accessibility Signs Environment For Elderly Care Facilities

Aging is a social problem that China will face soon.It is expected that the population over 65 years old will account for 18% of the total population in 2030 and27% in 2050,and the elderly will become a huge group,and the corresponding demand for the construction of aging-friendly environment will increase.In the construction of aging-friendly environment,the barrier-free design of signage is an important link.This paper mainly studies the color which has an important relationship with the visual guidance and memory function of signage,and focuses on the influence of psychological,physiological and behavioral design elements on the color design of barrier-free signage environment for the elderly.The research and design of elderly facilities environment is of universal significance to the elderly,and exploring the research of elderly facilities environment design will help the construction of agingfriendly environment in China.Translated with www.Deep L.com/Translator(free version)Through color questionnaires,color experiments,interviews,and environmental data collection and analysis,we studied the elderly and accessible signage color environment in senior care facilities,combined with the recommended color spectrum of accessible signage in Japan and the United States,and used the NCS natural color system to explore the color spectrum and color combinations of accessible signage environment in senior care facilities suitable for the elderly in China with a quantitative idea.The conclusion of this paper is reflected in the preliminary summary of the recommended color spectrum and color combinations of accessible signage environment with quantitative ideas,and based on this,the design points of accessible signage environment in various types of attribute spaces of elderly facilities are combined,and the color design methods of accessible signage environment in elderly facilities are discussed from both broad and conventional signs.This paper introduces a quantitative and qualitative combination of research tools and methods for the color design of accessible signage in elderly facilities in China,which is innovative,because previous related research lacks the combination of quantitative and qualitative discussion.Secondly,it optimizes the color design method of the barrier-free signage environment of the elderly facilities,which has some innovative and guiding significance in the design method.Since the elderly facilities have some special characteristics compared with the conventional public places,it is necessary to consider the physiological and psychological needs of some special elderly groups more purposefully,so it is necessary to make targeted responses in the color design method of the signs.In addition,this study initially proposes a new method of using the graphic perception experience of accessible signage environment,which helps to solve the problem of how to judge the color integrity,continuity and recognizability of accessible signage environment.Because the design of accessible signage environment is a systematic design module,it is not possible to consider the signage environment in a single point of view,but all the signs in the environment should be considered as a whole environment,especially the color environment,which needs to be considered in a holistic way.Finally,the research done in this paper is expected to provide theoretical strategies and methodological references for the construction of elderly facilities environment in China,especially at the level of barrier-free signage environment.
