Abstract

In this paper, the author takes Xingfu Canteen in Qingyou Xili Community, Tianjin, as a typical case of urban community canteens. Through literature review and field research, it is concluded that “the elderly are the main users of community canteens”, based on this reality to research the strategy of aging-friendly renovation of community canteens and explore the ways and methods. The existing problems of the community canteens include the confusion of the visual system, the lack of service system design, and the lack of aging friendly environment. In this paper, the author intends to solve the above problems from three angles: media content, user behavior, and spatial physics.
