Study on Micro-updating Strategies for Age-Friendly Public Spaces in Small and Medium-Sized Cities' Old Communities
Abstract
Focusing on the scarcity of elderly care resources in small and medium-sized cities in Zhejiang Province, this study aims to efficiently, gradually, and precisely improve the age-friendliness of stock spaces in old communities. Based on the shortage of age-friendly spaces and the conflict between supply and demand, the study identifies four typical spatial features through on-site questionnaires and other surveys. Moreover, by focusing on the behavior of elderly residents and analyzing the content, patterns, and priority of their needs, the study identifies principles for extracting potential micro-public spaces, including proximity, disadvantaged spaces, and surplus spaces. Finally, the study proposes micro-updating strategies for age-friendly communities in small and medium-sized cities by improving the design guidelines, establishing industrial component standards, and exploring diversified collaborative mechanisms, which is demonstrated by a case design.
