Research on Spatial Identities of Activity Spaces in Urban Parks Neighboring Residential Areas
Outdoor activity spaces become more and more important as the size of urban residential areas keeps growing due to quickened urbanization. Urban parks and open spaces are major places for residents nearby to enjoy physical exercises and leisure activities. Landscape planners nowadays confront a prominent task as how to create quality activity spaces in urban parks neighboring residential areas. In this paper, part of the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park next to Guodian Huayuan, a typical residential area in Beijing, is chosen as the object of study for on-spot survey based on theories and methods of environment-behavior studies. Users, periods, behaviors are categorized and activities of such users during different periods are recorded in details by means of counting, photographing and dotting. With such data, in-depth analysis is conducted as how the place is used and what are the spatial identities so as to render reference material for designing activity spaces in urban parks neighboring residential areas.
