Research On The Promotion Strategy Of The Shared Space Between The Junior And The Senior Based On The Spatial Syntax

With the aging of population and the implementation of the new reproductive policy,it is common for the senior and junior accompanying together in daily life.Due to the decline of physiological functions of the elderly and the dependence of children on familiar environment,the best scope of activities for the elderly and the young is gradually reduced to the residential district,so the public activity space in the residential area becomes an important carrier of outdoor activities for the senior and junior.However,the existing community is mostly a single public activity space,which aggravates the social and age segregation.Therefore,placement of activity spaces that can not only meet the needs of the old and young,but also promote their communication and recreation,not only solve the contradiction between the needs of the two groups of people for space,but also promote neighborhood relations and enhance community vitality.Based on the theory of environmental behavior,the paper takes the inter-generational sharing between the old and young as the entry point,compares and summarizes the physiological,psychological and behavioral characteristics as well as the needs for the senior and junior,and summarizes the common needs of both groups for space.On this basis,the author conducted a questionnaire survey and field visits to understand the space distribution,type selection,time distribution,travel range and seasonal characteristics of the elderly when they go out alone and with their grandchildren.Meanwhile,the author summarized the research results from four aspects,which were space function demand,quality demand,facility demand and space characteristics demand,respectively.Basing on this above,a 15-minute living circle residential area in Saertu District,Daqing City was selected as the object of study,with the investigation of its architectural layout,road traffic,greening and paving,as well as the comprehensive spatial quality,the author summarized the existing problems of public activity space in the current living area.At the same time,the spatial syntax theory and model were used to simulate and analyze the living area,and the spatial structure of the living area was quantified through convex space analysis,axial analysis and visual field analysis.The spatial structure of the living area is quantified,the syntactic characteristics and principles of the layout for the public activity space in the living area of the three levels are summarized.Finally,based on the summary of users’ features and requirements,the research of daily outdoor activities,the visit to the actual environment and the quantification of spatial syntax,the designing principles of inter-generational shared space for the old and young in the living area are proposed,and reasonable improvement strategies are put forward in four aspects,which are road system space,public green space,inter-generational shared space and pavement square space.So as to provide the city with a reasonable layout,spatial compound and variety of spaces for the old and young within the three living area levels.It is hoped that the public activity space in the next residential area can meet the physical and mental needs for the senior and junior,guide them to engage in active and healthy outdoor activities,achieve the effect of enhancing neighborhood relationships,as well as reshape the spatial vitality of the residential area.
