Urban public park is an open space that improves urban ecology and provides recreational spaces for residents. As population ageing has become an inevitable trend in China,meeting diverse needs for healthy elderly care becomes an important social issue. Exploring elderly suitability is an important direction for optimizing the planning and construction of urban public parks. Using 5 parks in the main urban area of Guilin City as examples,a fitness evaluation index system is constructed in the research. Based on the structural equation model (SEM),the weight coefficients of different latent and observational variables on fitness are obtained,and a diagnostic coordinate model is established using importance-performance analysis (IPA). The results indicate that the satisfaction of the elderly with the accessibility and safety of urban public parks in Guilin is average,and the Satisfaction level with fun,health,selectivity,and comfort is considered satisfactory. The main observation variables for improving the elderly suitability of urban public parks in Guilin City are landscape sketches,directional visibility,and directional guidance,while the secondary observation variables for improvement are plant planting,protective facilities,pavement design,and nighttime lighting. Based on the research results,optimization strategies for the elderly suitability of UPGS in Guilin City are proposed from the perspective of healthiness,accessibility,interest,selectivity,safety,and comfort.
