Environmental measurement study of double-aging neighborhoods under the EPA-S model in China
No full textThe “double aging” problem of the aging population and the simultaneous aging of the community's physical environment will become a huge challenge in highly urbanized areas of the world, and China's performance is becoming more and more obvious, affecting the physical and mental health and quality of life of the elderly. Nowadays, the paradigm of solving the double aging problem with the concept of “active aging” is gaining international acceptance, which means the elderly are centered on the design and construction of a community environment that maintains their ability to live independently and promotes active social interaction in urban regeneration. However, existing research still has shortcomings in how to apply the perspective of active aging to establish an indicator system for evaluating the built environment of “double aging” neighborhoods and formulate action strategies. The study constructs a theoretical analysis framework of EPA-S (E-Environment supports, P-Personal abilities, A-Activity behaviors, S-State of healthy and active life) from the perspective of active aging and builds the model based on that. This observational study designed the survey content and collected sample data in four typical double-aging neighborhoods in Beijing for multi-layer linear regression analysis to verify the reliability of the model and the correlation between indicators. It found that the design of the “EPA-S” model has a certain degree of credibility. In addition to personal socioeconomic factors, active living abilities, and material environmental support also have a significant impact on the mental health and happiness of the elderly. Specifically, being more involved in community public affairs and collective cultural and recreational activities, and better improving the quality of public activity venues and service facilities within walking distance of the elderly are related to the elderly maintaining good physical and mental health. The “EPA-S” model established in this study can be used as a reference tool to evaluate the active aging level of “double-aging” neighborhoods. At the same time, the analysis results of each variable also provide important inspiration for formulating specific neighborhoods' regeneration strategies
Research on Identification and Type Analysis of "Double Aging" Neighborhoods in the Central Zone of Beijing
No full textIn the current period of urban development and transformation in China,implementing urban regeneration,promoting the transformation of older neighborhoods,and realizing the improvement of environmental quality and social life have become urgent and important tasks. The aging of the physical environment and the aging of residents are the dual challenges faced by older neighborhoods regeneration in China. Therefore,this article focuses on the older neighborhoods in the city where the social demographic structure also shows an elderly state as the physical space ages,that is," double aging" neighborhoods regeneration. In view of the fact that there is a base for the total amount and distribution of residential areas with the characteristics of " double aging" is the basis for the design of policies and mechanisms for the adaptation of residential areas to adapt to aging. The study firstly analyzed the formation and evolution of older neighborhoods in Beijing,and used multi-source data to complete the analysis of the total scale of older neighborhoods and the development of double aging. Then it build a physical environment quality measurement system to further identify the older neighborhoods with " double aging" characteristics,and summarize their types and distribution characteristics. The urban " double aging" neighborhoods identification and classification method proposed in this study can provide a basis for the research and implementation management of the regeneration and transformation of older neighborhoods by type and division
Beijing’s Selected Older Neighborhoods Measurement from the Perspective of Aging
No full textThe older neighborhoods in Chinese cities are the main areas in which the elderly live. Both housing and the older adults have experienced the resonance process of co-growth and co-aging. Along with the acceleration of the aging population, the older neighborhoods with the aging physical space environment are increasingly unable to meet the needs of the elderly, which affects their health and well-being. Although the Chinese government has launched a program of retrofitting older neighborhoods to make them more hospitable for older residents through, for example, elevator installation and infrastructure improvement, these practices are merely associated with various neighborhood features. Most existing research starts from small-scale case studies and consequently lacks macro-level analysis of the characteristics of the physical spaces and aging population in older neighborhoods. Therefore, this paper selects old neighborhoods constructed from 1949–1999 in the central city of Beijing (within the Fifth Ring Road) as research subjects. The research begins with an analysis of the construction and evolution of the standards of selected older neighborhoods in Beijing and establishes measurement metrics for the spatial characteristics of both the neighborhood and aging population. This article concludes that older neighborhoods in central Beijing can be classified into seven clusters based on their spatial characteristics and three clusters based on aging population characteristics through K-means classification. Additionally, this paper conducts an overlay analysis of these two classification results to identify different spatial features of older neighborhoods within varying characteristics of the aging population and proposes suggestions for the renovation of selected old neighborhoods. The study aims to provide a reference for retrofitting older neighborhoods with the goal of creating an aging-friendly community, and to supply a scientific basis for empirical research on the middle scale and micro scale
Measurement of high-density public space in Macao from the perspective of publicity
No full textMacao, a long-established high-density city, presents a unique feature that distinguishes it from other cities in the evolution of public space.From the theoretical perspective of political philosophy, this paper draws on the theoretical framework of the “public domain” to make the point about the public domain types, which include representative public domain, civic public domain, civil public domain, and the public domain that loses power. By summarizing public space measurement model in existing studies and developing the quantitative measurement index system applicable to the actual situation of public space in Macao, this paper aims to verify the ideas about the public space domain types in Macao and to analyze its characteristics.Quantitative elements include GIS data statistical analysis for physical properties of public space in Macao and Google Street View scores for public space facilities. The results of spatial clustering analysis show that Macao has produced distinct public domain types which differ in property rights, morphological characteristics, and other attributes under its high-density built environment development. Finally, combining the characteristics of the four public domains in the measurement indicators, this study attempts to infer the impact of Macao’s public space on daily use in the structural transformation process and proposes some suggestions to improve the public life quality
