Abstract

In the context of the dual time of population aging and rural revitalization, “collective elderly care”, as a novel type of the elderly care, is being accepted by more and more elderly people. Moreover, it has become an innovative model of urban-rural integration and development. Because of its ample physical space, superior natural environment, as well as the leisurely and comfortable cultural atmosphere, the countryside has become a good carrier for “collective elderly care”. However, there are weak industries, outdated facilities and misplaced functions for rural areas, which is still a significant gap between the actual demands of the elderly care in the urban population. Therefore, the adaptive aging transformation of countryside is an inevitable choice for the revitalization of countryside under the “collective elderly care” model. Because its unique value and role in the great career of the rural revitalization, which is an effective way for design to empower the construction of countryside. In the paper, the collective elderly care model was analyzed and the main contradiction of current rural environment, was summarized. The targeted design strategies were proposed, and the design methods of adaptive aging transformation was discussed in five aspects - functional division, traffic organization, space optimization, improvement of facilities, and long-term management.
