| dc.title | Residential well-being of urban communities in densely populated cities in China | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | In the process of China's rapid urbanisation, the urban population is increasing rapidly, and densely populated cities are gradually becoming inevitable. The compact urban spatial environment and the large number of permanent residents bring a lot of problems to the residential well-being of urban residents and at the same time affect their sense of well-being and psychological health. Therefore, it is of great social significance to explore how to use urban community environment to intervene in residents' psychological well-being and promote their residential well-being from the perspective of architecture. Research on community environment design strategies for well-being needs to adopt a multidisciplinary cross vision, utilising the theories and methodologies of psychology, sociology, environmental psychology, architecture, philosophy and other multidisciplinary disciplines, to solve the problems of densely populated cities' community environments and to satisfy the residential well-being needs of urban residents. Based on the theoretical foundations of the research on built environment and mental health and the interpretation of the traditional Chinese ethical concept of well-being, this study proposes the design concept, ethical values and procedural methods of design for well-being. Combined with literature research, stakeholder surveys, multi-stakeholder questionnaire surveys and interview surveys and case study analyses, the study explains that the meaning of residential well-being, extracts the key elements affecting the residential well-being of densely populated cities, constructs a fuzzy evaluation model of residential well-being and quantitatively analyses the mechanism of "the built environment -well-being promotion". And then, from the two aspects of the optimization of the physical environment and the creation of non-physical residential wellÂ-being, the design concept and the ethical value of design for well-being have been developed. Design for well-being is then proposed as a practical strategy to satisfy the three dimensions of residents' needs for well-being in terms of optimising physical environment well-being and creating non-physical environment well-being. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | Drawing on the theories of healthy community and well-being cognition, the study proposes a theoretical basis for the research on the association between residential well-being and environment. Starting from the theory of healthy cities, the study explores how to promote health from the perspective of urban planning and architecture from a macro perspective while also focusing on the relationship between the neighbourhood environment and health from a micro level and delineates the research scope of the community environment for this study. Based on the research on the impact of the built environment on mental well-being that has been conducted, the importance of the research on the interaction between environment and mental well-being is clarified and it also side by side proves the feasibility of the research on the environmental design intervention on residential well-being, which provides a strong theoretical support for this study. At the same time, the introduction of psychology theory of well-being to clarify the well-being in this study from the value base of objective well-being from Aristotelian. In terms of research methodology and technique, it adopts the subjective well-being line of thought, which focuses on personal well-being. Emotional cognition theory and local attachment theory provide scientific theoretical support for this study's approach to the relationship between residents and community environmental factors. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | With the goal of building community environments for well-being, the study puts forward the concept of design for well-being in urban community environments based on the pyramid of human needs and the ethics of living. The ethical value of design for well-being of community environments "living in home - living in peace - living well - living in well-being" is proposed. The design for well-being promotion is the core value and the design for well-being is built around the combination of material, social and spiritual attributes. Also, the implementation method of the design for well-being is discussed according to the sequence of the design for well-being process. Based on the basic theory of design for well-being, the study proposes a conceptual model of "residential well-being", which is used to evaluate whether the quality of the community environment can satisfy the demand for well-being by the results of residents' perception. The study takes the community environment of Shenzhen as an example to demonstrate the process of design for well-being, uses the questionnaire survey method and interview method to analyse the needs and determine the influencing factors of the design for residential well-being in the urban community, quantifies the index weights of the influencing factors of residential well-being by using the hierarchical analysis method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and constructs a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of "environment-well-being". The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model quantifies the mechanism between built environment and well-being promotion, which helps designers deeply understand the complex relationship between environment and well-being. Finally, the study addresses the environmental problems of densely populated cities communities oriented towards the three dimensions of well-being needs and proposes an overall design strategy based on well-being promotion using survey research and case studies. Also, the study proposes a design for wellÂ-being strategy in terms of optimisation of the physical environment for well-being and creation of the non-physical environment for well-being. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | From the perspectives of realising the Chinese dream and building a better living environment, this study explores the design for well-being in the context of densely populated cities community environments with the goal of building a well-being high-density urban community environment and the design problem of balancing multi-stakeholders in a limited space to satisfy the well-being needs of residents. The concept and theory of "design for well-being" with the core value of well-being promotion, the construction of a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model for the environment of densely populated cities from the quantification of the index of "residential well-being" and the interpretation of the mechanism of the built environment and well-being promotion can be applied to the future development of densely populated cities in China. The concept of residential well-being and related theories, the construction of a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of high-density urban community environment from the quantification of "residential well-being" indicators and the interpretation of the role of built environment-well-being promotion mechanism can be applied to the future design and renovation of high-density populated cities. Using the organic integration of psychology, sociology, architecture and other disciplines, the study clarifies the role of designers in the process of design for well-being and the delineation of multi-stakeholder responsibilities and proposes procedures and methods from the designers' point of view that can help support the design for well-being of Chinese future urban neighbourhood environments. | en_US |
