ABSTRACT

Based on the investigation of three parks in high-density old urban areas of Nanjing, this study analyzes the current situation, characteristics, satisfaction and problems of the utilization of parks for the elderly in such area. The results show that, there is not much difference in the number of male and female elderly people in Nanjing’s old urban area who use parks. The elderly usually arrive in the park within 20 minutes, and the transportation is mainly on foot, and the overall satisfaction of the park is relatively high. The main problems are park management and maintenance, sanitation and toilet installation. The findings of current studies can help relevant personnel involved in the design and park management to prioritize intervention through planning, design and management to satisfy the elderly in using the park.
