Space Evaluation Of College Old Campus Street Based On Student Behavior

With the expansion of universities’ enrollment, the population density of old campus has grown bigger,which means the logistics services and facilities of universities have been unable to meet the increasing demands in material life of college students.Where there is a demand,there is a market, the student streets have emerged as the times require.As the connecting part between university and urban space, the existence and development of student streets is inseparable from the interaction and influence of college campus and city,meanwhile,the space environment of student streets has a direct impact on college students’ study and life,so it is important and significant to do researches on college student streets.Domestic scholars have done lots of explorations on the study of student streets,but most of researches which are qualitative regard its’ material space as research subject,the quantitative researches are lacking.Based on the psychological characteristics of students,This paper has done investigations and researches which combined qualitative methods with quantitative methods on old campus student streets in Nanjing colleges from the perspective of humanization.In particular, firstly,this paper combined relevant principles of factor analysis method with the elements of space system of student streets.Secondly, the space evaluation system of old campus student streets was established.Thirdly, by taking student streets in Nanjing Forestry University as an example,the author analyzed students’ subjective evaluation through questionnaires and used it to test the agreement degree between the student street space and the psychological needs of student.Finally, the author explored the main influencing factors of student street space evaluation through analysis of factors and did further analysis and researches.The emphasis on study of this paper lied in the following three aspects:(1)By taking old campus student streets in three colleges in Nanjing as research object,the author conducted statistics on the types of commercial activities and the number of shops of college student streets via field investigation.Based on that, the author analyzed the space layout, architectural form, commercial content composition and operation characteristics of the shops of student streets.Besides, through questionnaire, the author discussed the consumer behavior characteristics of students in streets and analyzed the internal relations among the student behavior psychology,the development and the spatial layout of student streets.(2)This paper systematically explained methods of space evaluation of student streets.Based on student behavior psychology,the space system elements of student streets could divide into five aspects which included commercial system element,building space system elements, transportation system elements, facilities system elements, greening environment system elements.After that, the author established space evaluation system of student streets which was made up of 5 first-class indexes and 16 second-class indexes.(3)Combining with relevant cases,the author empirically analyzed the space evaluation system of student streets in old campus of colleges and summarized operational evaluation methods.The indexes which were obtained via factor analysis method could reflect the degree of contribution of every evaluation index which was applied to evaluate the use of student streets by students,after that, the author extracted the main influence factors:overall image factors, health conditions,commercial content components,product quality,service factor, location and facilities factor.Concentrating on these factors,the author did researches and analysis on them through combining with the theory of consumer behavior, commercial space science and environmental psychology theory.Besides,the author put forward suggestions on planning from the aspects of the overall image of student streets, facilities and commercial layout.The author hoped this paper could make contribution to the planning and construction of student streets in old campus of colleges.
