Optimization Design Practice of Rural Public Space Based on Public Participation: Taking Jiaoyuan Village in Zhaoqing City as an Example

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the design of rural public spaces is becoming increasingly prominent. This article took Jiaoyuan Village in Zhaoqing City as an example to explore the practice of optimizing rural public space design based on public participation. Through the analysis of the current situation of public space in Jiaoyuan Village, a design concept guided by public demand was proposed. Public opinions were collected through questionnaire surveys, interviews, and other methods to investigate the suggestions of Jiaoyuan Village villagers and tourists on optimizing rural space. The survey results showed that 22.2% of people believed that traditional places should be combined with modern style, so that rural areas can achieve healthy development without deteriorating. This indicates that Jiaoyuan Village should improve various public facilities based on its own characteristics, and carry out spatial optimization design around ancient trees and existing buildings.
