Abstract

Compared with other countries in the world, China’s aging is characterized by large scale and rapid growth. According to statistics, 90% of the elderly "provide for the aged at home" through socialized services, 7% of the elderly can provide for the aged in the community through the purchase of community services, and 3% of the elderly choose to focus on social elderly care services “institutional elderly care”, and the living environment will become the main carrier for the aged of 97% of the elderly. Therefore, under the background of the deepening degree of social aging, China urgently needs to study the construction and transformation of urban living environment from the perspective of the suitability of aging. To sum up, there is little comprehensive evaluation and quantitative research on the environmental suitability of urban residential region, whether it is the empirical enumeration or summary of the environmental suitability of residential region, or the qualitative analysis of individual elements.
