Text Analysis and Evolutionary Characteristics of Aging-Friendly Retrofit Policies in China
[Purpose/significance]Combing China's aging-friendly retrofit policies and comprehensively analyzing their evolution can yield implications for academia,industries and policy-making.[Method/process]This paper screened 285 aging-friendly retrofit poli-cies in China from January 2002 to April 2022,and comprehensively analyzed the policy texts from three dimensions of external struc-ture,thematic characteristics and key policies.Then this study divided the evolution of policy into three stages according to the results and analyzed the evolution characteristics of each stage from the perspective of intergovernmental cooperation,thematic evolution path and key policies.[Result/conclusion]The evolution of policies can be divided into three stages,namely barrier free construction,spe-cial aging retrofit and smart aging retrofit.China's aging-friendly retrofit policies mainly include six topics,namely barrier free public facility modification,home modification,community modification,public service retrofit,intelligent technology retrofit and medical in-stitution retrofit.The number of aging-friendly retrofit policy document issuing institutions is increasing,the collaboration system is becoming more diversified,and the object and scene of retrofitting are changing from regional to a more general population.[Innova-tion/limitation]The paper systematically analyzes the development of China's aging-friendly retrofit policies from the perspective of policy text mining at a big granularity.
