Evaluation of Public Space Ageability in Kunming Communities Based on Structural Equation Modeling
The construction of the aging cause is particularly important today when China's aging population is in-creasing dramatically and aging is deepening.Based on the physical and mental needs of the elderly,an evaluation index system of urban community public space was established through literature analysis and other means,and the questionnaire survey data of the evaluation index system were collected.The evaluation model of elderly suit-ability with 5 latent variables and 22 observed variables was finally constructed through factor analysis,and quan-titative analysis of the important influencing factors and interrelationships was conducted.The results show that the elderly-friendliness of public spaces in urban communities is positively correlated with spatial accessibility,environmental comfort,environmental safety,social participation and functional mix,among which social partici-pation has the greatest influence on the elderly-friendliness,while the latent variables of tile leveling and anti-slip,organization of interaction activities,respect for the elderly and richness of plant landscape have a greater influ-ence on the elderly-friendliness.Based on the findings of the study,some suggestions are made to improve the elderly-appropriateness of community public spaces in order to enrich the theoretical system related to the con-struction of elderly-appropriateness of community public spaces.
