Optimized Design Strategies Of The Vitality Of Rural Public Space

Rural public space not only carries the demand for leisure and entertainment of villagers,but also is an important manifestation of their quality of life.It plays an important role in passing down culture and enhancing villagers’ sense of belonging.The construction of rural public space has been vigorously developed under a series of policies such as "rural revitalization",but there are still problems such as "space without vitality ".This paper firstly reviewed the relevant literature.Secondly,on the basis of theoretical studies and field research results,the characteristics and influence mechanism of rural public space vitality were analyzed,and the corresponding optimization strategies and design methods were summarized.Finally,an empirical study was conducted in Liqiao Village of Fengqiao Town to test the results.The research results are as follows:(1)The main factors influencing the vitality of rural public space include: landscape environment,natural climate,native plants,cultural atmosphere,cultural activities,cultural heritage,landscape richness,spatial scale,security,industrial development,commercial activities,surrounding crowd density,spatial function diversity,facility support,management and maintenance,and accessibility,which can be summarized into four categories through factor analysis: culture and landscape,facility services,natural environment and spatial function influencing factors;(2)Spatial vitality characteristics are mainly expressed through four aspects: the number of users,user dwell time,user frequency and user diversity,among which the dwell time and the number of users of public space are closely related to the cultural characteristics of villages and facility support;(3)Service facilities,culture and landscape,and natural environment has a direct influence on the vitality of public space,the highest of which is the cultural and landscape influence element(0.533),while the spatial function has an indirect influence on the vitality of public space through facility services,cultural and landscape factors;(4)Macroscopically,four optimization strategies are proposed:(1)Infrastructure improvement and management maintenance;(2)Cultural abstraction extraction for landscape expression;(3)Natural introduction and spatial integration,(4)Mass participation to improve spatial functions.Microscopically,the design methods are:(1)The point space is mainly improved by increasing supporting facilities,improving functional diversity,improving landscape greening and strengthening cultural expression;(2)The linear space is mainly improved in four aspects: spatial scale,safety,cultural atmosphere and supporting facilities;(3)The area space is mainly improved in four aspects: functional composite,spatial scale,landscape greening and supporting facilities and maintenance.This article endeavors to summarize the strategies and methods for enhancing the vitality of rural public spaces through a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches.However,limited by time and other objective conditions,the scope of the study only focuses on some villages in Fengqiao Town.There is a need to expand the scope of the study and conduct more in-depth research in the future.
