A Preliminary Study On Design Of Community Park

As an important element of urban green space system, community park is a type of parks which mostly close to the daily life of the residents. With the increasing focus on the human residential environment, the desires of outdoor recreation nearby and a lack of community communication space, a large scale of community parks' building has been arisen. Though it has a sensitivity improvement of quantity and scale, there are many problems in the process of design and building. As a result, it is an urgent issue of the study of design points and methods, and has the theoretical significance and practical guiding significance.First of all, this paper defines the conception of community park and research category. It has a preliminary classification of community park according to the land form, relations with park and residents. From the social, economic and environmental points of view, it analyzes the current situation and the function of community park. The paper summarizes some features, like pertinence of the service object, diversity of space function, openness of facilities and art, identifiability, security, belonging and so on. It also analyzes the mainly influence factors on park design, like behaviors of residents, architectural style of residents, public participation and so on. Secondly, according to "people-oriented" design concept and the theory of sustainable ecology, it discusses the site, orientation, purposive, area of the community park, and summarizes five principles of the design of community park: accessibility, integrity, fairness, ecological and practical. Then, based on the functions and features of the park, it explores the landform, water, traffic organization, planting design, landscape architecture and environmental pieces, and its corresponding design principles and methods. And on the basis of these, it summarizes the trend of design of community park from three points: the space of complex functions, service facilities and environmental pieces of humanity, and the application of ecological concept. Finally, with examples, the paper emphasizes three principles about design of community park: the investigation and collection of public opinions, effectiveness and appreciations, the principle of sustainable development. And it also discusses the future research direction of design.
