Abstract

Under the background of the increasingly intensified aging population and the implementation of the "three-child policy" introduced by the government, the phenomenon of "intergenerational support" is ever-increasing. However, most of the urban community amusement facilities in our country lack innovation in form and cannot meet the needs of intergenerational interaction in function. In other words, community amusement facilities in the context of intergenerational support need to be improved urgently. This paper aims to explore the inclusive design method of community public amusement facilities, and propose a design strategy for community public amusement facilities that meets the interaction between generations, making it meet the physical and emotional needs of both grandparents and grandchildren. By investigating and analyzing the status quo of public amusement facilities in some communities in Hefei, Anhui province, China, and the behavior patterns of the elderly and children in the amusement facilities, it is found that the current public amusement facilities in the community are insufficient in terms of interaction, tolerance and emotion. Study the physical and psychological characteristics of the elderly and children, and extract the design requirements of amusement facilities in the context of intergenerational rearing. Then, guided by the inclusive design theory, put forward amusement in the context of intergenerational rearing from three aspects:safety, functionality and emotion. The facility design strategy breaks the physical separation between adult activity area and the children’s one and creates a new type of amusement facility for grandparents and grandchildren to interact with each other in behavior and emotion. Finally, the design strategy is verified through design practice. The construction of community public recreational facilities in the context of intergenerational rearing is feasible. Incorporating the concept of interaction and empathy into the construction of community public recreational facilities is conducive to promoting intergenerational harmony and the effective integration of social resources.
