Research On The Designing Characters Of Vest-pocket Parks In Hangzhou

With the development of social economy and urbanization, the city’s building density continues to increase and the green area in the city continues to decline. Also, the pace of people’s lives is increasing, the work-life pressure is growing, the exchange between human and nature is getting less and less, and the interaction between people is more and more a sense of distance.

So it is practical significance to study it.View of the vest-pocket park brings the positive significance for social and environmental, this article studies the designing the characters of Hangzhou’s vest-pocket parks. Based on the following successful experience of foreign Pocket Park, and through investigating the Hangzhou’s vest-pocket park, analyzing the situation, characteristics and problems, this paper proposed design system of Hangzhou’s vest-pocket park, to provide the ideas and reference for the construction of Hangzhou and national’s vest-pocket park. This paper studies the following points:1. Summarizing the domestic and foreign research status about the vest-pocket park, and introducing the definition, the function, the characteristic, the kind of the vest-pocket park. Through anglicizing the cases of the United States, Japan and other developed countries, summering the experience which is worth learning.2. Proposed the general design principles of vest-pocket park, and made a detailed analysis of features, needs, users and using time of four major categories of vest-pocket park, concluding residence type, job type, traffic type and recreation-type. Besides, submit the design points of the four type’s vest-pocket park. 3. Through surveying and studying the current situation in main area of Hangzhou’s vest-pocket park, anglicizing real cases, summarizing the characteristics and inadequacies, this paper proposed design principles of Hangzhou’s vest-pocket park and inferred design procedure and design content for Hangzhou’s vest-pocket park to provide a theoretical reference for developing vest-pocket parks of Hangzhou.4. It has the positive significance of the construction of vest-pocket parks. Construction of pocket parks is not only effective solution to ease the concerns of today’s society under the high-density pressure of environmental problems one of the ways, but also can satisfy people who living in urban centers for parks need.
