Planning And Design Study Of Urban Hiking Space

With the increase of people's leisure time in recent years, outdoor sports havebeen greatly developed. Hiking, as a common and wide-spreading sport, has beenpopular with people of all ages. However, due to the limitation of time, money andtraveling hard people cannot always go to the original nature sceneries for hikingfrequently, so some people start hiking close by the city. Therefore, urban hikinghas been gradually accepted and developed. How to program hiking space in thecurrent model of urban space layout to meet all types of hikers is the main problemto be solved in this paper.First, this paper introduces the background of the rapid development ofoutdoor sports as well as related researches on hiking and hiking space.Characterizing definition is used in this paper to define stepping, walking andhiking, explain the relationship of them as well as describe the concepts of urbanhiking and urban hiking space. Basic research on urban hiking and space is startedbeside this. It summarizes the hikers'behavior demands and psychological needsfrom the angle of behavioral psychology and lists the space requirements againstthese behavioral psychology characters in order to direct the construction of urbanhiking space. Based on the age, this chapter divides hikers into children, youth,middle ages and elders, and makes researches respectively on their own demands.Then, this paper analyzes and representationalizes the urban hiking space fromits spacial elements of point, line and plane by the conclusion of urban hiking spacerequirements basic on the researches of the above chapters. Meanwhile, spacialelements are permuted and combined into all kinds of basic shapes of urban hikingspace. Therefore, the primary model of urban hiking space is formed. This is aprocess of concretizing the basic researches.At last, this paper aims at achieving the urban hiking space program in real city.First of all, this paper makes the principles of urban hiking space planning as thedirective theory of space construction. Then, the models of urban hiking spacecombined with various geographic characters were discussed from the aspect ofplanning. After that, the existed real space systems are analyzes to find out theconnections to urban hiking space and make the multiple uses by different ways andmeasures. At last, common human and social activities combined with hiking areillustrated for providing hiking the spacial carriers.In general, this paper firstly summarizes the characters of urban hiking, andthen concludes the basic model of urban hiking space based on that, and last makes plan to achieve the model in real city in order to build a better urban hikingenvironment. In one word, this paper shows the process from the invisible to visibleand from the bounded to the boundless of urban hiking space.
