Part I: Research and Analysis
I found through research that this community used to be a village, where many elderly people lived.In recent years, the government has carried out renovations on old residential areas, transforming originally densely populated small bungalows into buildings over ten floors high, and 60% of the residents are elderly. Their children usually work or go to school. During this period, I found that the community atmosphere was strong, the relationships between neighbors were harmonious, and they would bring pets to participate in social activities. However, I also found that the entertainment activities of elderly people with problems were limited.
They mostly gathered together to play cards or chess, and there were many elderly people engaging in social activities outside the room. The renovation of the old community only upgraded their living environment, but ignored the construction of community entertainment and leisure venues. According to my research, people usually place simple tables and chairs in community open spaces to gather and communicate, or in the garden of the outdoor park across from the community, paying attention to the need for a comfortable community communication center for the elderly. From the psychological perspective of the elderly, as they grow older, their social circle gradually narrows, and their children may not be able to accompany them frequently due to work and other reasons, which can make them feel lonely and helpless. So it is necessary to establish social networks for the elderly. They need to communicate and interact with others, enhance their social circle, and society can provide some social activities and platforms, allowing them to make new friends and expand their social network.
When the river dries up, social issues such as flood control and water resource utilization are lost. If extreme weather occurs, the city's functions will be lacking, and timely management and optimization of waterways are needed
