Abstract

In light of the values of helpfulness and practicality of design for ageing, this paper aims to explore the possibility of improving public facilities for aging in Chinese communities to meet the needs of the elders to live a comfortable life based on the current aging situation in China. According to a comparative study of the development of aging-friendly facilities made in Japan in response to social aging, we found that, compared to Japan, aging-friendly communities in China are still not perfect and there are many problems. Through a field study of an old community in Beijing, the paper finds that the construction of aging-friendly community in China should be based on the needs of daily life, safety and health of the elderly, so as to find feasible ideas applicable to existing aging communities and future development. In addition, it is important to optimize existing community facilities and achieve the aging-friendly purpose, creating safer, better, and more harmonious communities while improving socio-technical development. A good aging life in communities for the elderly needs to be built in an excellent ageing-friendly community and environment. To achieve that condition requires a variety of supporting activity facilities, safety protection, health care, etc. In doing so, the design for ageing and its concept adapted to China’s aging community can be summarized.
