Since the reform and opening up,with the continuous advancement of urbanization,China’s urban development has achieved tremendous achievements.At the same time,the impact on the ecological environment in the process of urban development has become increasingly evident,becoming the most obvious weakness in China’s urban development and the most prominent issue reflected by the people.Therefore,the urban development model in China urgently needs to be upgraded and transformed.The previous development model that focused on scale expansion,rapid growth,and increment orientation is clearly no longer suitable for the current requirements of high-quality urban development in China.In 2018,General Secretary Xi Jinping first proposed the concept of a park city during his inspection in Chengdu,making it a hot topic in China’s urban construction.The proposal of park cities is a positive response to the problems and challenges faced by current urban development in China,providing new directions and ideas for the mode and direction of urban development in China in the new era.Urban waterfront space is a special ecological area at the junction of a city and natural land.It is not only a landscape resource of the urban environment,but also a functional unit of the city that plays an important role in the development and economic efficiency of the city.Urban waterfront space,as an important component of park city construction,will become the core area of park city construction.Based on the above background,this article takes the construction of the park city in Tian Shui City as an opportunity,selects the riverside space as the research object,and uses methods such as literature research,field investigation,questionnaire survey,quantitative evaluation and analysis,and social survey to explore strategies and methods for creating vitality through riverside space under the concept of park city,To provide reference and reference significance for the construction and vitality enhancement of urban waterfront space under the guidance of the concept of park city.To improve the accuracy of vitality creation strategies,this article constructs a waterfront space vitality evaluation model,which evaluates the current vitality of the waterfront space through two aspects: objective evaluation of indicators and subjective evaluation of residents.In the objective evaluation system of indicators,the research object and scope of this article are first determined;Secondly,by reading literature and taking into account the current situation of the waterfront space,an evaluation dimension was determined,namely the "human space/place" two dimensions,for indicator selection and quantification.A total of ten objective indicators were selected to evaluate the vitality of the waterfront space,and the distribution of vitality in the waterfront space under each indicator factor was obtained;Finally,using the mean of these ten evaluation indicators as data,a comprehensive analysis was conducted on the vitality of the riverside water space,and the predicted vitality value evaluated by objective indicators was obtained.Compared with the true vitality value obtained through Baidu Thermal Map,it was found that the predicted vitality value obtained by this evaluation model was consistent with the true value,thus obtaining the current distribution of vitality in the riverside water space,laying the foundation for the proposal of vitality creation strategies in the following text.In terms of subjective evaluation of residents,this article analyzes the population using riverside water spaces through methods such as questionnaire surveys,interviews and exchanges with respondents,observation of activity time and types of people,and obtains their satisfaction with riverside water spaces,their demand for space,and the necessary additional facilities,making the research strategy of this article more practical and reference significance.At the same time,statistical analysis was conducted on the types of people’s activities in the waterfront space,identifying the facilities and places they need from their activity types,and proposing targeted strategies for creating vitality.Finally,this article takes the humanistic concept,ecological concept,beauty concept,and symbiotic concept of park city as the perspective,and based on the evaluation results of ten vitality evaluation indicators and feedback from research questionnaires,summarizes the different problems of riverside water space under the four major concepts of park city.Then,different strategies for creating vitality are proposed for different problems under different concepts.At the same time,through the research of this article,the following conclusions can be drawn:(1)The vitality on both sides of the river is higher on the north side than on the south side,and some areas on the south side are concentrated in spatial distribution characteristics;(2)There is a mismatch between the types of people’s activities and the spatial texture in the waterfront space;(3)The low diversity and uneven distribution of facilities are the main reasons for the lack of vitality in the waterfront space;(4)The four major concepts of park city play a comprehensive guiding role in creating vitality through riverside water spaces;(5)The model of creating vitality in riverside spaces has reference value for the study of vitality in other waterfront spaces. |
