Research on Adaptability Analysis of Environmental Space Demand and Design Optimization of Daycare Centers: Taking Chongqing’s Community F as an Example

Currently, there is a lack of research on the detailed environmental spatial design of community daycare centers at the micro level. This study focuses on Community F in Chongqing, using the elderly’s “willingness to demand” as a central aspect. It examines indoor and outdoor environmental space needs at a micro level, considering both functional requirements and spiritual needs based on existing research. The analysis incorporates three adaptive elements: current construction, surrounding environment, and operational management. It explores the feasibility of restructuring spatial layouts, utilizing local resources, and integrating Bayu cultural characteristics. Finally, through design optimization practices, the study proposes three strategies for aging optimization: functional integration and interaction, user-friendly facilities, and emotional connections to place.
