| As population aging has become a common feature of increasing countries and regions,the spatial difference is becoming a significant feature in the trend of population aging.Affected by the aging level of population,the degree of economic development,the cultural customs of providing for the aged and the construction of social policies in different regions,the supply of services for the aged is unbalanced and inadequate,especially the lack of effective supplement,the level and quality of supply are uneven,which seriously restricts the quality of old people’s life and the construction and development of a happy age society.In the era of intelligence,modern science and technology has become the first driving force and strategic support to actively deal with the aging of the population,providing unprecedented opportunities to solve the problem of population aging.Among them,geographic information system(GIS)depends on its technical advantages-actively integrate information on old age and visual expression,dynamically display the preferences and needs of old age,optimize the allocation of pension facilities,make elderly care service intelligent,has been widely used in the practice of old-age services,remodeling the aging society of the population,but it proposes new topics of sociological research.In this study,we using the theories and methods of sociology and geographic surveying and mapping,and using the method of spatial analysis,we analyzed the current situation of the supply of pension services in Jinan.This study aims to respond to the interweaving reality of the trend of population aging and intelligence,and to explore the supply of urban old-age services based on geographic information system and its optimization proposals,so as to provide a new perspective for the construction of friendly society for the elderly and the positive facing to the aging of the population.The study found that the first-order characteristics of urban service for the aged in medical care,old age care and daily living supply are as follows: On the supply of elderly medical services side,the overall spatial hierarchical layout is hospitals in the South and clinics in the north,most institutions are distributed from southeast to northwest,but there is no obvious direction of community health service centers,and they are more concentrated in the middle,east and north of the city;On the supply of elderly care services side,the number gap of traditional pension institutions between regions is smaller than that of modern professional institutions.In addition to nursing homes,other institutions are more concentrated in the central and southern part of the city;On the supply of geriatric care services side,it’s limited,but has not yet developed in a large scale.The distribution direction of geriatric nursing institutions is the same as that of nursing institutions,showing a southeast to northwest direction,the densest place is in the central and eastern part of the city;On elderly daily life service supply side,the number of vegetable markets varies from region to region,distribution is from north to south,the distribution pattern are multi center and high density,the distribution pattern of restaurants and hairdressing shops is polycentric,with people in the South preferring to eat and people in the North pursuing beauty,and hairdressing shop in south-north degree distribution,catering shops in the east-west direction distribution,there is a small gap in the number of sports and leisure places between regions,the places in the Midwest are most densely distributed,among them,square distribution trend is east-west,scenic spots distribution trend is north-south.On this basis,the supply of urban comprehensive elderly care services has the following second-order spatial characteristics: In the supply of urban medical and care services for the old,resources in the urban fringe are the most,the elderly medical level in the central region is higher and the geriatric care resources are more,and the comprehensive level of elderly care in the urban center,Shanghe County in the north and Laiwu District in the South has more advantages.The overall supply of daily living services for the elderly in city presents a pyramid structure.Among them,the central region has the best proximity.The spatial agglomeration characteristics of vegetable market facilities,catering and hairdressing fields are significant,and there is no significant correlation between sports and leisure places.For the spatial characteristics of the supply of urban old-age services,this paper makes suggestions on optimizating the supply space of old-age services from the following three aspects: First,strengthening the active response to the aging of the population publicity,to create a friendly social atmosphere for the elderly;Second,optimizing the allocation of endowment service resources,to promote the equalization and inclusive of pension services;Third,Strengthening the scientific and technological strength in the process of aging adaptation transformation,to improve the convenience and accessibility of elderly care services. |
