Research On Spatial Renovation Design Of Old Residential Areas In Changsha From The Perspective Of Child-Friendly

As an important work content of urban renewal,the renovation of old residential areas has received widespread attention from various cities.Since Changsha was listed as one of the first batch of 15 pilot cities for the renovation of old residential areas in China in 2017,the Changsha Municipal Government has vigorously launched the work of improving the quality of old residential areas.With the acceleration of urbanization,the urban public space has been constantly compressed,and the old residential area,as the stock space of the urban area,urgently needs to be renovated and designed to keep pace with the times.At the same time,the residential area is the main activity venue for children.Children,as a group of people with rich activities in residential areas,have not paid much attention to their space needs.Moreover,with the opening of the three-child policy,the number of children will increase year by year,and the contradiction between children’s needs and lack of activity space will deepen.In recent years,the theory and practice of "child-friendly city" construction have been popularized in various countries and cities around the world.The topic of child-friendly is gradually rising in China.Some cities have started to practice "child-friendly community" by combining theoretical research and actual situation of community governance.Therefore,in the context of urban renewal and the neglect of children’s activity space needs,how renovation of old residential areas participate in the construction of child-friendly cities is a topic of great research significance.This paper sorts out the domestic and foreign child-friendly theoretical research,summarizes the characteristics of child-friendly space construction at home and abroad,studies the excellent practical achievements of child-friendly community construction at home and abroad,and proposes that the renovation design of old residential areas should include child-friendly space design.This paper takes the old residential areas in the main urban area of Changsha city as the research object.At the macro level,the author masters the development process and transformation of the old residential areas in Changsha city b by reading literature and retrieving materials.At the micro level,the author conducts a child-friendly survey and analysis of the interior spaces and public spaces in 6 typical old communities through field research,observation records,questionnaires and other methods,and points out a series of problems in the old residential areas: the interior design of the building does not consider the needs of children;the corridor is dim and light is insufficient;the facilities are old and low in safety;the addition and reconstruction occupy public space;there is no dedicated children’s activity area;the large traffic flow on the road brings safety hazards to children;the fitness equipment area does not take into account the needs of older children and has no space for fun;lack of natural green space;lack of extracurricular learning places,etc.In view of these problems,this paper proposes renovation strategies of key space from five aspects: indoor space,traffic space,building main entrance space and public activity space,combining with relevant norms of child-friendly,making full use of the value of space and reasonably adding children’s activity space.Finally,the paper attempts to use these child-friendly renovation renovation strategies to redesign the Xiangyun New village,Furong District,Changsha city.It is hoped that by further strengthening the connection between theory and practice,it can contribute little to the research on the construction of "child friendly cities" in China.
