Abstract

This study takes Jinan's Shizikou Village in China as an example, conducting field investigations and data analyses to explore the necessity and feasibility of rural street space renewal. The primary findings reveal that the functionality of Shizikou Village's streets is suboptimal, with issues such as road damage and insufficient lighting facilities. Based on the survey results, the study propose a rural street space renewal plan grounded in human-centered design principles. Our goal is to create a rural street space that meets the villagers' needs, aligns with local culture, and fosters sustainable development.
