- 摘要
- Neighbourhood centres are places of interactions for residents of a neighbourhood. The diversity of uses and building functions may affect the pattern of interactions occurring in neighbourhood centres. In spite of the advantages of mixed land use developments, which have been repeatedly mentioned in the planning literature, few studies have investigated the effect of diversity of uses on the patterns of activity and vitality in neighbourhood centres. This paper utilises a qualitative approach to the study of land uses in suburban neighbourhood centres in Geelong, Australia. The primary methodology used in this research is recording and mapping users' activities through behavioural observation. This study aims to evaluate the complexities of the pattern of activities occurring in neighbourhood centres in regard to building functions and uses. The method of inquiry in this research investigates how the arrangements and diversity of uses in neighbourhood centres can promote, affect or mitigate the social life of neighbourhoods, generate a sociable atmosphere, attract a diversity of users and create a nightlife. A better understanding of how neighbourhood environments influence the social life of neighbourhoods can provide academics and professionals in planning and urban design with sound evidence on which to base future research and design. 居民社区中心是社区居民发生互动的场所。社区中心用途与建筑功能的多样化会影响社区中心内各类人际互动的形态。尽管有关规划的文献已反复提及混合用地开发有诸多优越性,但还很少有文章对社区中心土地用途多样性对于活动与活力模式的影响开展过研究。本文采用定性方法来研究澳大利亚吉朗市郊居民社区的土地用途。本研究采用的主要方法是通过行为性观察记录社区中心用户活动并对之绘图。本研究旨在评价社区中心中所发生的活动模式在建筑功能和用途方面的复杂性。研究采用的调查方法了解了社区中心用途安排与多样化是如何提升、影响或缓解居民社区社交生活、创建社交氛围、吸引各类用户、营建夜生活的。更好理解社区缓解影响社区居民社交生活的方式,能为规划和城市设计领域的学者和专业人员提供可靠的证据,从而为未来的研究与设计实践活动打下基础。
