This paper presents a successful social model in China for HIV/AIDS care. Shuizhou, a medium‐sized city in China, has developed a “Government lead, social support and mutual help among patients” social model, which has achieved valuable results. The model comprises four networks focusing respectively on management, health promotion, funding, and care centre and home care. The model brings together a wide range of organizations, government entities, and (some) enterprises, contributing to a variety of tasks, from leadership to finance. Meanwhile, neighbourhood support for HIV/AIDS patients ensures personal care, family support, and health promotion. Over its four‐year operation, the model has achieved improving social and financial results. It deserves interest beyond China.
In the process of rapid urbanization and accelerated transformation of urban community public space structures, the optimization of community space structure and the quality of the living environment has attracted the attention of academic circles. Existing research has shown that the well-being of community residents is positively correlated with community social capital. The starting point of this study was howaimed to increase residents’ social capital and enhance their sense of life happiness through a good community space environment design. This paper focuses on the analysis of the spatial perception level of community residents and the correlation between environmental space design elements and social capital and explores the environmental factors that affect the accumulation of social capital of community residents to put forward suggestions for the optimal design of community public spaces. A field survey of 30 communities in Shanghai City was conducted based on relevant theories and practical cases both at home and abroad. The six dimensions of “social cohesion”, “sense of community belonging”, “social participation”, “social network”, “social interaction”, and “neighborhood relationship” are used to assign social capital, and the six dimensions are respectively regressed with residents’ environmental perception of the community and the objective environment of the community. The correlation between the social capital of community residents and the three elements of public space (space, facilities, and social elements) was obtained. According to the public space optimization design strategy of the three elements, public space design principles for improving community social capital are proposed, including the principles of diversification, humanization, suitability, and inclusiveness, and the corresponding suggestions are proposed from three aspects: point space, line space, and surface space.
Résumé Cet article présente un modèle social de prise en charge du vih /sida, appliqué en Chine avec succès. Suizhou, une ville chinoise de moyenne importance, a mis au point un modèle social intitulé « Initiative gouvernementale, soutien social et entraide » qui a donné des résultats significatifs. Ce modèle se compose de quatre réseaux, spécialisés respectivement dans la gestion, la promotion sanitaire, le financement, les centres de soins et la prise en charge à domicile. Il s’appuie sur un large éventail d’organisations et d’administrations plus certaines entreprises, qui concourent à diverses fonctions allant de la direction aux finances. En même temps, un soutien de proximité est apporté aux malades du vih /sida au niveau des soins personnels, d’appui aux familles et de promotion de la santé. En quatre ans, ce modèle a permis d’améliorer la situation sociale et financière des patients. Il mérite de retenir l’attention au-delà des frontières de la Chine.
