Design Of Child-friendly Community Public Space

The Convention on the Rights of the Children was published in 1989,after that the developed countries began to paid more attention to children,meanwhile they began to construct child-friendly cities.The world has identified more than 400 child-friendly cities,including Copenhagen,but no Chinese city has made the list.In the local context,on the one hand,the two-child policy promotes a certain increase in the number of children in many places in China,and on the other hand,the increasingly complex urban environment increases the potential threat to children.Therefore,it is urgent to examine the current space environment from the perspective of children and rationalize the space design to meet the needs of children.This design takes the Nitang Community of Jiangning District,Nanjing City as the research object.It follows the logic from theoretical research to design and planning,and follows the thinking of"Theoretical Research--Case Study--Current Situation Interpretation--Planning and Design" to conduct child-friendly design for the public space of Nitang Community.There are seven chapters in this paper,each chapter includes:The first chapter and the second chapter clarify the significance methods and ways.According to the key words such as "children group","community public space","child friendly environment"to define the concept and carry out research review,and based on the comparison of domestic and foreign theoretical research to make a research review.The universal problem of the mismatch between the current community supply and the needs of children is clarified,and the specific factors leading to the low environmental friendliness are analyzed from the aspects of space environment,social environment and ideology.The third chapter,with the construction of child-friendly streets and child-friendly communities as the starting point,reviews the practice of child-friendly space construction internationally.This paper makes a comparison review to clarify the deficiencies in the construction of child-friendly space in China.Through the study of classic cases,this paper summarizes the strategies of friendly space construction,namely resource sharing,space sharing and all age sharing.The fourth chapter,the interpretation of the current situation of the mudpond community from the perspective of children.On the one hand,the spatial environment is interpreted to understand the location of Nitang community and children’s activity space.On the other hand,group activities are interpreted to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of children and their companions in community activities,as well as the satisfaction survey of community natural space,street space,game space and cultural space.The fifth and sixth chapters based on the existing problems of the community space and the demands of the group,the design objective is defined from the perspective of problem orientation and goal orientation,namely to create a child-friendly community,including safe space,diverse designs,easy identification and accessibility,natural ecology and fun.combine the planning and design objectives with the design vision to design the community public space.The design focuses on the reorganization of the road traffic system and the redesign of the children’s activity area,and takes Gangshan demolition and resettlement community as a child-friendly demonstration community.Road system reorganization is to superposition the current multi-level roads in the community with the track of children’s activities,clarify the type of road reconstruction,and select a functional road and recreational road for detailed design on this basis.In the redesign of children’s activity area,four nodes of tank farm,hydrophilic space,green space and sport space were selected for detailed design.Finally,the design principles,strategies and key points of child-friendly space are summarized.The seventh chapter,design summary and prospect.The main innovation points of this design are summarized,and further consideration is given to the construction of child-friendly space in the future urban scale.Consider the combination of space friendliness with policy friendliness,service friendliness and system friendliness,and the combination of material construction and non-material construction to improve the overall friendliness of children.The whole thesis contains about 38 000 words,98 pictures and charts.
