Abstract

China gradually enters an aging society, and how to provide a safe, comfortable, convenient, and sustainable living environment for the elderly is the purpose and goal of the study. Based on analyzing the pension living space environment in China, this paper explored the behavior and psychological needs of the Chinese elderly through the field research of local nursing homes, literature study, and case analysis in China. Furthermore, the study pointed out the shortcomings of the existing pension space design and put forward four spatial transformation schemes. From the perspective of sustainability, creating more possibilities for the living space of the elderly has a certain guiding significance for the design of pension space in China.
