Sustainable Renewal Strategies for Older Communities from the Perspective of Living Experience

Abstract

This paper takes the old district of the east Huan Shi Road area in the Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, as an example. Through field research, resident visits, and expert interviews, the secondary and tertiary indicators in the measurement framework were obtained by combining six years of living experience. The questionnaire was designed through the relationship between the indicators, and a small sample test was conducted to test the results before generating the final questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed both online and offline, and the data were analysed in conjunction with the Kano model; then, the results were compared with the field research. Based on the perspective of living experience, a sustainable renewal strategy is proposed for the renovation of old neighbourhoods in practice.

Evaluation of Community Commercial Space Design Experience and Optimization Strategy Based on KANO Model

“…The new urbanist community has proposed new requirements, from encouraging walking and promoting more neighborhood interaction to improving the livability and sustainability of urban communities. At the same time, the ease of living for special groups has yet to be strengthened in terms of guiding the indicators of social harmony to better highlight the goal of building livable communities [31,32]. In the future, the commercial design of communities will need to pay more attention to the needs of the population to achieve a more effective design that is truly "people-centered".…”

Research on innovative design of community mutual aid elderly care service platform based on Kano model

“…Currently, mutual aid elderly care platforms in various regions of the country are not unified, and most of the main places for mutual aid elderly care are offline communities, without unified management and standards. Moreover, in the context of frequent population mobility, a large number of “aging drifters” and “migratory elderly” exist [ 25 ], and there is currently no mutual aid elderly care platform or volunteer service statistical platform that can be uniformly declared, data shared, and facilitate circulation.…”

An Extended Fuzzy-DEMATEL System for Factor Analyses on Social Capital Selection in the Renovation of Old Residential Communities

“…Yang et al [16] explored the factors affecting residential satisfaction of poor spaces in new cities from the perspectives of individual characteristics of residents, residential and neighborhood environment, etc., and made recommendations for innovative management technologies, improvements in living conditions, and the construction of related support facilities. Based on the living experience and social cognitive, Guo et al [17] and Huang et al [18] also put forward a sustainable renovation strategy for old residential communities in practice. Despite the fact that the above-mentioned literature analysis on the old residential community renovation did not identify any specific influencing factors, it can offer a direction for experts to understand the old residential community renovation and further analyze the influencing factors of social capital selection.…”

“…(16) Then, causality analysis, by calculating the sum of each row and column in the total relationship matrix by Eqs. ( 17) and (18), obtains the degree of direct influence D i and indirect influence R j of each influencing factor, which D i reflects the degree of influence on other influencing factors and R j represents the influence of other influencing factors on oneself.…”
