A Study on the Relationship Between Communication Behavior and Space in Traditional Residential Areas of Xiguan:Taking Changhuayuan as an Example
Neighborhood relationships are an important factor affecting the physi-cal and mental health of community residents.How to maintain and promote neighborhood communication in traditional residential areas has become an im-portant consideration for the renewal of old cities under the concept of healthy communities.This article takes Changhuayuan,a traditional residential area in Xiguan,Guangzhou,as the research object.Using behavioral annotation,field survey,and SPSS correlation analysis methods,on the basis of deeply exploring the characteristics of communication behavior in Xiguan traditional residential areas,it further explores the correlation between communication behavior and spatial environment.The research results indicate that the communication behav-ior in traditional residential areas in Xiguan presents four major characteristics:arising from daily encounters,triggered by simple leisure activities,taking out-door household chores as an opportunity,and centered around children's activi-ties.It is significantly correlated with spatial environmental factors such as street landscape,road traffic,interface morphology,and service facilities.Finally,based on the above analysis,suggestions are proposed for the renovation of the built environment in the traditional residential area of Xiguan from the perspective of protecting neighborhood communication.
