Study On Post-Occupancy Evaluation Of YuYinShanFang Scenic Spot Based On Environmental Behavior And Cognition

Chinese classical gardens used to be the private pleasure place of the plutocracy class,which is external manifestation of traditional feudal hierarchy thought on spatial layout and behavior organization.Modern city parks is the place where the public could take park in the social activities,as well as the symbol of the openness and fairness of modern society in spatial layout and behavioral organization.It is difficult to balance the contradiction between protection and activation owing to duality of classical gardens on inward protection and outward openness.Under the background of the increasing public demand in modern cities,the Post-Occupancy Evaluation theory and method have received more and more attention in the research of domestic public space.However,there is a lack of the research on the PostOccupancy Evaluation of classical gardens as urban public.Thus,the main purpose of this reserch is to explore the application of the Post-Occupancy Evaluation theory and method in classical gardens as urban parks.The main research content consists the evaluation of behavioral and cognitive status through observation,interview and questionnaire.Besides,the main significance of this reserch is both building the Post-Occupancy Evaluation model of YuYinShanFang scenic spot and expanding its application range.YuYinShanFang is one of the most famous four gardens in Guangdong province,as well as the state-level cultural relics protection unit of China.YuYinShanFang scenic spot could be seen as both history museum and modern city park owing to its old relic buildings and several renovation and expansion project to serving more tourists.Therefore,the research object of this article is YuYinShanFang scenic spot which has been renovated and extended.In the context of China's increasing emphasis on urban public space planning and design,this study explores the form of application of the Post-Occupancy Evaluation theory in classical gardens by referring domestic and foreign research results and typical cases.The main evaluation projects contains the comprehensive needs,behaviors,spatial cognition and satisfaction status analysis through interviews,behavioral observations and questionnaires.From the evaluation results,it is found that the user's cognition of the spatial pattern of the old area of YuYinShanFang is poor,and the cognition of the spatial object is relatively clear.Spatial pattern and spatial cognition of the newly expanded area are relatively clear.It proves that the spatial behavior of the user affected by both spatial pattern and spatial object.Moreover,the reserch found that the overall planning and design satisfaction of the YuYinShanFang scenic spot is relatively high,but the satisfaction in the guiding facilities,cultural art exhibition,event organization,traffic conditions,catering facilities,amusement facilities,barrier-free design,surrounding traffic and environmental conditions are relatively poor,Furthermore,putting forward the design and Renovation strategy through the design of external entrance and border,the design of internal entrance and tour route,the image of the new service part,the cultural and artistic exhibition,the barrier-free design,the public service facilities and the public participation of public space design.
