Improving The Vitality Of Public Space On University Campuses

"People shape the environment,and the environment also shapes people." There is a process of mutual influence between environment and people.In the rapid development of university campuses,there have been some blind transformations and constructions that have ignored the symbiotic relationship between user behavior and the campus environment,leaving the environment of university campuses at risk of losing vitality.The existing research on promoting the vitality of campus public space mostly focuses on one-sided analysis of the landscape configuration or humanized design of the space,while few studies have explored it from a dual perspective that combines the actual physical environment and user behavior and activity needs.As a result,promoting the vitality of public space remains one of the difficulties in design,it is necessary to analyze and study the vitality of campus public space in universities.Based on the above background,aiming at the problem of lack of spatial vitality in universities,this thesis takes Jiangxi Normal University as the research object,and analyzes the reasons for the lack of spatial vitality from the perspectives of material and behavioral activities.Based on the analysis results,through improving the physical environment and meeting behavioral needs,this thesis proposes a renewal strategy for promoting the vitality of public space on the campus of Jiangxi Normal University,and carries out design practice.Firstly,relevant theories are analyzed and explained through literature research;Secondly,Jiangxi Normal University was selected as the research object,and nine public space samples from the school were selected.Using site measurement and field survey methods,in-depth investigation was conducted on the specific situation of the physical environment,user activity volume,activity time,user attributes,and activity types of the sample,as well as the functional services provided by the campus public space to users,as well as the vitality of the public space;Then,summarize the factors that affect user activities and the vitality of campus public space,classify them into two aspects: the material level and the behavioral activity level,analyze the relationship between the two levels and the promotion of spatial vitality,and propose corresponding design principles and promotion strategies;Finally,a detailed study is conducted on the improvement plan of space from the two levels of improving the physical environment and meeting behavioral needs,and specific design practices are conducted to build a spatial environment that stimulates the environmental vitality of Jiangxi Normal University,providing reference for the planning,improvement,and design of campus public space vitality improvement.
