Description

Facing the aging society in China, it has become difficult for large-scale residential communities constructed decades ago to meet the needs of the shrinking size of population and aged residents. Based on the theory of the "community life circle," this study takes up Caoyang New Village, Shanghai to quantify the Convenience of residents’ life using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). By building a measurement framework to compare the 15-minute actual reachable area for elderly residents with the traditional method of defining life circles based on administrative boundaries, this study concludes that facilities including categories of health, elderly care as well as retail & shopping outside boundaries also play a significant compensatory role in the Convenience of elderly residents.
