Study on Renewal Strategies of Urban Community Public Space under the Perspective of Positive Ageing :The Case of Rongdong Community

Abstract

As the problem of population ageing becomes more and more serious, China’s 13th Five-Year Plan Outline has clearly put forward the development vision of building a senior care service system with family as the core, community as the support, institutions as the auxiliary, and medical care for the elderly combined. The degree of improvement of community public space is directly related to the happiness of the elderly in their twilight years. This study takes the idea of active ageing as the theoretical basis and deeply analyzes the connection between active ageing and public space renewal in urban communities. Taking Wuhan Rongdong Community as a case study, it explores the community public space renewal strategy from the three dimensions of the basic behavioral needs of the elderly, the characteristics of activity space configuration, and the satisfaction of community space use.
