Research on an Aging-Friendly Design of Urban Park Landscape Based on Computer Virtual Simulation Technology

Abstract

Influenced by economic development and the information society, more elderly people are more willing to go to urban parks for activities. Among them, comprehensive parks are the first choice for most elderly people. However, most urban parks are currently constructed according to adult. There are very few researches and practices on the age-appropriate design of urban parks, and the richness, safety, and comfort of the elderly’s activities cannot be guaranteed. In view of this situation, this paper studies the aging-appropriate design of urban comprehensive parks and proposes an aging-friendly design scheme for urban park landscapes based on computer virtual simulation technology from the four aspects of layout, type, distribution, and construction, systematically researched the activity space system for the elderly, and realized the virtual simulation display effect of urban park landscape. Research shows that the design scheme proposed in this paper solves the problem of interaction between buildings and users, breaks the traditional landscape design presentation form, and saves the cost of modification and production of traditional models, which is suitable for the aging and popularization of future urban park projects, providing an effective reference.

Evolution Pattern and Spatial Mismatch of Urban Greenspace and Its Impact Mechanism: Evidence from Parkland of Hunan Province

“…The analysis of the driving mechanism showed that population aging has a non-negligible impact on both the land supply and spatial mismatch of parks in Hunan, and the land supply for urban parks in this subregion exceeds the demand. The local government should build age-friendly parks or implement age-adapted renovation in existing parks [104,105], so as to enhance the characteristics and quality of park services. Cities in this policy area should also take advantage of the rich land area of urban parks; seize the opportunity of the provincial government and the central government to support the construction of park cities; accelerate the promotion of the organic integration of park forms and urban space; speed up the construction of parks around the city, community parks, street gardens and pocket parks; enlarge the coverage of parks; and improve the quality of parks to build themselves into demonstration sites of park cities.…”
