摘 要：随着最近疫情的加剧，封闭社区开放空间的重要性在满足城市结构中公共空间的需求方面变得越来越重要。此外，房地产趋势一直在宣传封闭社区内的公共设施，如游乐场、街道家具、寺庙等，与城市中任何其他住宅设施相比，这是一种极度奢侈的行为。然而，至关重要的是分析其年龄适宜性，以了解这些空间是否能有效吸引不同年龄组的用户。这样做也会得到一个全面的结论来解释主动性和安全性。该研究在两个规划的混合住房封闭社区内进行，该社区有多个开放空间，用于娱乐和休闲。本文试图确定主要的物理和环境特征，这些通常导致一个更适合年龄的空间。由于这些发现是基于量化的主观性，该研究包括问卷调查，活动和行为映射，以及对物理设置的批判性分析。本研究讨论了各种具体案例的设计决策，通过分析分区、接近相关活动、领地性和可防御性等属性，可用于在封闭社区内建立更具包容性的开放空间。因为调查结果突出了由于人口年龄范围共存而出现的行为需求。本研究将有助于建筑师、景观设计师和城市设计师创造适合年龄的开放空间。
Abstract:With the increase in the recent pandemic conditions, the importance of closed community open spaces has gained a lot of importance in satisfying the need for public spaces within an urban fabric. Also, the real-estate trends have always publicised the presence of common public facilities within the gated communities, such as play parks, street furniture, temple, etc., an extreme luxury compared to any other residential facility available in the city. However, it is crucial to analyse its age appropriateness to understand whether these spaces can effectively engage users of varied age groups. Doing so will also result in a comprehensive conclusion to interpret activeness and safety. The study is performed within two planned mixed housing gated communities with multiple pockets of open spaces intended for recreation and leisure. This paper attempts to identify major physical and ambient features that commonly result in a more age-appropriate space. Since the findings are derived based on quantified subjectivity, the study includes a questionnaire survey, activity and behaviour mapping, and critical analysis of the physical setup. This study discusses various case-specific design decisions that can be employed to establish more inclusive open spaces within a gated community by analysing attributes such as zoning, proximity to allied activities, territoriality, and defensibility. Since the findings highlight the behavioural needs emerging due to the coexistence of demographic age ranges. This study would be beneficial for architects, landscape architects and urban designers to create age-appropriate open spaces.
