Sustainable Renewal Strategies for Older Communities from the Perspective of Living Experience

Abstract

This paper takes the old district of the east Huan Shi Road area in the Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, as an example. Through field research, resident visits, and expert interviews, the secondary and tertiary indicators in the measurement framework were obtained by combining six years of living experience. The questionnaire was designed through the relationship between the indicators, and a small sample test was conducted to test the results before generating the final questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed both online and offline, and the data were analysed in conjunction with the Kano model; then, the results were compared with the field research. Based on the perspective of living experience, a sustainable renewal strategy is proposed for the renovation of old neighbourhoods in practice.
