Abstract and stored text

AI-generated summary

This study investigates the actual usage patterns of outdoor open spaces within danchi (large-scale housing complexes) to explore strategies for their regeneration through existing stock utilization. Through field surveys, the research identified children's play as the most prominent demand for these spaces, followed by activities such as walking and resting. The findings highlight that current usage is often limited, suggesting a need for more diverse and inclusive outdoor space planning. Consequently, the study advocates for regeneration plans that actively promote a wider range of outdoor uses, specifically emphasizing the integration of community gardens and other green initiatives to enhance resident well-being and foster community engagement.

Why it matters for urban farming

This research directly supports the value of citizen-driven urban farming by identifying community gardens as a key component for revitalizing danchi outdoor spaces. It highlights that residents seek diverse outdoor activities, and urban farms can fulfill this demand, fostering community engagement and improving well-being. For urban farm initiatives, this paper underscores the potential for integrating gardening projects into existing residential areas, transforming underutilized spaces into vibrant community assets.
