Research on Functional Layout of Integrated Elderly Care Facilities from the Perspective of Community Embracing:Taking Two Elderly Care Centers in Tianhe District,Guangzhou as Examples
Based on the perspective of"community embracing",this paper investigates the functional space composition and usage status of two integrated elderly care facilities in Tianhe District,Guangzhou,and uses Space Syntax to quantitatively analyze the spatial configuration of the two facilities.After comparison,it is found that although the functional space composition of each facility is similar,due to the differences in their functional layout,the degree of adaptation to the spatial configuration is also different,which affects the operation and management of the facility,and the degree of openness to the community is also different.Finally,this paper proposes functional layout suggestions for the integrated elderly care facilities to embrace the community better.
