Literature Review on Age-Friendly Design of Residential Environments
In this paper,the research literature on age-friendly design of residential environments in China is systematically reviewed,its development trajectory and research content were summarized,and the existing issues and future trends are analyzed.The research development in this field in China closely aligns with the its population ageing process and the evolution of relevant national policies and systems.Scholars mainly focus on residential space,micro-environments within residences(such as elderly appliances),and age-friendly design of external residential environments.However,there is still room for further exploration of the differentiated needs of older adults regarding residential environments,and transformation of research results is to be strengthened.Future research should pay closer attention to actual needs and experiences of older people,and focus more on transformation and application of research outcomes.
