Research On The Transformation Design Strategy Of Community Parks In Guangzhou Urban-rural Fringe Based On Child-friendly Perspective

With the gradual advancement of the construction of children friendly cities,community parks,as important places for children’s outdoor activities,have received widespread attention and attention from the academic and industry in terms of their friendliness towards children.As a special area of traditional urban geographical space,the urban-rural integration zone has limited investment in community park construction and insufficient attention.There are problems such as outdated equipment and facilities,low usage efficiency,insufficient children’s activity space,single form,and insufficient consideration of the special characteristics of the population in the urban-rural integration zone.Children are relatively disadvantaged compared to other age groups,and childhood is a crucial stage in life that affects their future development.Based on the above issues,this article starts from a child-friendly perspective,based on field research,and combines the psychological and behavioral characteristics of children in the urban-rural integration zone with the collection of community park transformation elements.It explores the principles and strategies for the transformation design of child-friendly community parks in the urban-rural integration zone,and verifies and demonstrates the specific implementation of the research strategy through the transformation design of new parks in Panyu District,Guangzhou.This article takes community parks in the urban-rural integration zone of Guangzhou and community residents mainly composed of children as the research objects.Firstly,on-site research is conducted on community parks in the urban-rural integration zone of Guangzhou,focusing on understanding the current operational status of community parks in the urban-rural integration zone,as well as the current characteristics of children and other groups’ activity time,spatial characteristics,and activity types.Corresponding research analysis and proposal of current problems are also conducted.Secondly,from the perspective of child friendly use,based on the common characteristics of children’s physiology,psychology,and behavior,as well as the main types of activities in the landscape space,analyze its impact on the landscape space design of community parks in the urban-rural fringe area.Once again,a preliminary collection of community park renovation elements based on a child friendly perspective was obtained through literature review,expert interviews,and field research analysis.Corresponding questionnaires were distributed on site and data was collected.Principal component analysis was used to analyze and process the data to obtain a set of renovation elements,ultimately forming 5 main components and 31 secondary elements.The meanings of these element sets were summarized and logically analyzed.Finally,based on the above research,the design principles and strategies for the transformation of children friendly community parks in the urban-rural integration zone are proposed.The principles of child friendliness and generality are comprehensively elaborated,and the design strategies are further analyzed from macro,meso,and micro scales.In addition,taking Xinzao Park in Panyu District,Guangzhou as an example,on-site renovation design experiments were conducted to combine theoretical research with practice.The urban-rural integration zone is an important transitional zone from urban to rural areas in the process of socio-economic development.Its special complexity often leads to insufficient attention paid to the rights and interests of children.This study sorted out the characteristics of community parks in the urban-rural integration zone of Guangzhou,formed a hierarchical model of transformation design elements based on the psychological and behavioral characteristics of children,and proposed design principles and strategic methods for transformation.This can provide theoretical support for the research on child friendly transformation of community parks,enrich the construction theory of child friendly cities and urban renewal theory,It also provides reference for the child-friendly transformation practice of community parks in the urban-rural fringe of Guangzhou.
