ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the country attaches great importance to vocational education, vocational colleges have ushered in the opportunity period of rapid development. Under the background of the increasing policy support and the growing demand for skilled personnel, the scale and influence of vocational education have been significantly increased. Among them, medical and health higher vocational colleges, as an important force in the strategy of serving health in China, have developed particularly rapidly because of their distinctive professional characteristics and strong social demand. With the expansion of enrollment scale and the increase of enrollment, many old campuses of such colleges have gradually exposed problems such as unreasonable spatial layout and low use efficiency, which are difficult to adapt to the needs of modern education, practical training and life. These problems not only affect the smooth development of teaching and practical activities, but also cause certain restrictions on students' daily learning and life experience. Using the theory of spatial syntax, with the help of DepthmapX, the paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of the new and old campuses of typical medical and health vocational colleges, focusing on the core indicators such as the integration, understanding and visual integration of the public space, and compares and analyzes the differences of different campuses in specific indicators. On this basis, the key factors affecting the optimization of campus space are summarized, and the targeted reconstruction and expansion design strategies are put forward, in order to provide scientific reference and practical reference for the renewal of the old campus of such colleges and the planning and construction of the new campus.
