Abstract


The landscape of residential is closely related to the physical and mental health of the elderly. With the increasingly aging society, how to build a healthy living environment for the elderly is one of the important issues that need to be studied. Using scientific metrology tools such as CiteSpace to conduct knowledge map analysis on relevant literature, the research trends of the relationship between residential landscape and the health of the elderly were systematically summarized. The results showed as follows: 1) The number of domestic and foreign studies has been increased significant during the past 10 years. The research areas are mainly distributed in the fields of public health and geriatrics in foreign countries, while the domestic is mainly in the fields of architecture science and sports;2)Residential landscape factors and their mechanisms that affect the health of the elderly have been the research hot spot in both domestic and abroad. In terms of landscape elements of residential, most of studies focused on green space, water body and sensory environment, while in mechanism focused on physical activity, autonomous needs and social cohesion.3) The existing research mainly uses the subjective and objective measurement methods such as questionnaire, health benefit scale, objective measured environment and physiological indicators measurement. The trend is gradually shifting from the qualitative approach to the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The current study would provide evidence for future research and practice of age-health residential landscape.
