Research On The Space Design Of Urban Community Elderly Activity Center Based On The Behavioral Needs Of Low-age Elders

Taking the top 100 counties and cities in western China and a small city with a deep aging degree—Kuitun City as the research sample,in the context of the aging population and the quiet rise of community elderly care models,in response to the spatial design of urban community elderly activity centers,from starting from the behavioral needs of the low-age elders who are the main service objects of the community elderly activity center,try to restore the behavioral needs of the low-age elders in Kuitun City,and use this as a basis to deduce and sort out its function for the community elderly activity center demand,and then design the applicable physical space,provide methodology for the spatial design of the urban community elderly activity center,and provide a reference for the future architectural design practice of the urban community elderly activity center in Kuitun City.First,on the basis of clarifying the research background,determine the purpose,significance and content of the research,and design the research method and structural framework.By analysing and summarizing predecessors’ research on on the basis of previous studies,the theoretical basis for the research of thesis is sorted out for subsequent research.Secondly,on the basis of clarifying the definition of the low-age elders and the urban community elderly activity center,the behaviors of the low-age elders were determined through surveys and interviews of the low-age elders in Kuitun City.Analyze and compare the similarities and differences in the behavioral characteristics of elderly people of different genders,educational backgrounds and living conditions.Then introduce Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory to analyze the research results,summarize and sort out the actual needs of low-age elders.Then,in accordance with the ideal of "behavior—function—space",based on the actual needs of the ow-age elders,the function settings required by the community elderly activity center are derived.Based on the setting of functions,deduce the spatial composition of the building,analyze the streamline organization and indoor space partition of the urban community elderly activity center,analyze and summarize the safety,barrier-free and convenient design,and then use the architectural space combination theory to study for the space combination and external space design of the building.Finally,a relatively complete theoretical system is completed,which provides a rationale for the space design practice of the urban community elderly activity center in Kuitun City.
