| With the development of society and the needs of human life,the public has put forward higher requirements for the quality of urban space.As an important public activity place,city square is becoming more and more important in the city.The boundary is an important part of the city square.The spatial organization and division of the square still depend on the definition of the square boundary.Its limited space provides various places and conditions for human activities.People’s outdoor behavior is mostly closely related to the border,where people’s activities are changing and staying.Recreation is one of the basic living needs of urban residents.As China enters the era of leisure economy,recreation is no longer satisfied with sightseeing recreation in the past.It is eager to have a deep understanding and communication on the basis of regional culture and natural environment,and enjoy the joy of recreation.Because of the particularity of the square boundary space,it is the most frequent area of material exchange and space exchange,and also carries a variety of recreational activities.Therefore,it is worth discussing how to create a positive square boundary space to meet the recreational needs.The concept of "recreational needs" has multiple practical significance for the construction of the square boundary recreational space.The core research contents of this paper are as follows:(1)By consulting the literature,the concepts of the square boundary space and recreational behavior are defined,and the boundary effect theory and recreationaltheory are summarized.A preliminary cognitive analysis is made on the definition,regional characteristics,form composition and design elements of the boundary space of urban squares.The boundary space of the square is analyzed from the perspective of spatial structure and form size.(2)A questionnaire survey was conducted on the recreational behavior needs of people in the border space of leisure Square in the main urban area.The basic attributes,preferences,restrictive factors,characteristics and demands of recreational behavior of people in the border space of leisure square were analyzed.It is concluded that the recreational needs of the recreationists for the boundary space of the square are diverse in space form,reasonable in scale and private in some degree.Good traffic accessibility and landscape sight.Appropriate quantity and reasonable layout of infrastructure and recreational facilities.Beautiful environment,good greening,maintenance and management in place.(3)A total of 60 sections of the boundary space of 8 city leisure squares in the main city area of the city were investigated in the field,respectively,from the macroscopic level of the land around the square,the internal functional zoning,the height difference,and the spatial form,the landscape function,the environmental facilities and the greening environment at the meso level.The change of elevation divides the boundary space of square into five types.Flat boundary space adjacent to road,rising boundary space adjacent to road,flat boundary space adjacent to building,sinking boundary space adjacent to building and rising boundary space adjacent to water.It is the basis of the following classification research.(4)In view of the spatial form and connection form of each type of boundary space in terms of spatial form,the traffic function,landscape view and recreation activities,the rest facilities and infrastructure of environmental facilities,the collocation of trees and shrubs in the greening environment,and the configuration form are analyzed respectively.The common problems and differences are summarized,which lays the foundation for the later design strategy.(5)Based on the demand of recreation,the general design principle and general strategy are proposed for the common problems of each kind of boundary space.The general design principles are domain,communication,safety and naturalness.Thegeneral strategy :(1)Enhance the sense of spatial domain and enrich spatial forms.(2)Enrich landscape function and enhance communication.(3)Focus on improving facilities based on safety.(4)Taking nature as the principle to improve the greening in an all-round way.According to the different problems existing in each type of boundary space,the corresponding strategies are put forward respectively.(1)Flat type adjacent to road.(1)Space form: Enrich space form and increase detention space.(2)Landscape function: Improve traffic organization;Carry out landscape visual design.(3)Environmental facilities: Increase recreational facilities;Improve infrastructure.(4)Greening environment: Increase the greening form,pay attention to the combination of trees,shrubs and grass;Trim regularly,pay attention to the later maintenance management.(2)Ascending type adjacent to the road.(1)Space form: Increase private small space and enrich recreational activities.(2)Landscape function: Increase traffic connection,use terrace space;Beautify boundary elements,increase visual beauty.(3)Environmental facilities: Use terrain elevation difference to add rest facilities;Improve infrastructure.(4)Greening environment: Vertical greening shall be carried out for the facade of retaining wall;Plant layers shall be enriched to beautify the parapet.(3)Flat type adjacent to the building:(1)Space form: Soften the boundary form and use the "concave" space.(2)Landscape function: Reasonably organize traffic,pay attention to pavement design;Enrich visual landscape elements.(3)Environmental facilities:Enhance the comfort of recreational facilities;Improve infrastructure and increase creative facilities.(4)Greening environment: Soften the building facade with plants;Increase the greening amount and enrich the greening forms.(4)Sinking type adjacent to the building:(1)Space form: Soften the strip space and use the point space.(2)Landscape function: Reasonably design elevation difference interface,enhance traffic connection;Reasonably use elevation difference interface,guide landscape sight.(3)Environmental facilities: Increase recreational facilities;Improve infrastructure and increase barrier free facilities.(4)Greening environment: Increase greening amount and build landscape ladder.(5)Ascending type adjacent to the water body:(1)Space form: Soften the water shoreline and create the integrated hydrophilic space.(2)Landscape function: Add entrances and exits to enhance traffic connection;Enhance line of sight connection and beautify retaining wall.(3)Environmental facilities:Maintenance of recreational facilities;Improvement of infrastructure.(4)Green environment: Fine treatment of hard revetment;Beautification of natural revetment. |
