“…Resident satisfaction is the satisfaction generated by residents in a specific place [7], and it is determined by the gap between the actual living environment and the expected living environment [8]. Public space is an important communication medium in cities, and the optimization of the public space environment can improve the well-being of residents [9]. Studying resident satisfaction with public space can promote the improvement and sustainable development of urban public space environments.…”

The renovation of public space environments in old residential areas has become the focal point in Chinese urban renewal and promotion of urban sustainable development; thus, an urgent need for research expansion is attached to identifying the environmental factors of public space and their impacts from the perspective of residents’ needs and satisfaction. Taking Hefei, China, as an example, and based on a satisfaction survey of the public space environment in old residential areas, this study discerned critical factors affecting public space satisfaction through gradient-boosting decision trees and impact-asymmetry analysis methods, after which the asymmetric relationship between public space environment factors and resident satisfaction was tested and the priority and goal of public space environment renovation were obtained. The results indicate that the following: (1) Compared with physical environment factors, current social environment factors, including uncivilized behavior, space occupation, and hygiene and cleanliness, exert a greater impact on the overall satisfaction. (2) The hypothesis that there exists a general nonlinear relationship between environmental factors and satisfaction is verified, with all social environment factors proving to be nonlinear and physical environment factors being highly related to social environment creation, such as nursing space for the old and young, reading and learning space, and display and communication space. (3) A priority hierarchy for the improvement of environmental factors should be established, which basically conforms to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. The role of social environment renovation should be highlighted, along with the necessity to bolster community governance and public space management. At the level of the physical environment, more space should be available for the activities of residents, display and communication, and reading and learning. This study can provide a corresponding theoretical basis and planning inspiration for meeting the multiple needs of residents for public space, improving life happiness, and promoting the sustainable development of cities in the renovation of public space environments in old residential areas.

“…The concept of retirement community originated in the United States. Early retirement communities were generally continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) (Tang, et al, 2015). In 1986, Hunt and Gunter-Hunt first proposed the concept of NORC ( naturally occurring retirement community) ( Hunt & Gunter-Hunt, 1986).…”

In the context of global aging, the study of retirement communities has attracted the attention of scholars. However, there needs to be more systematic bibliometric studies. This study aims to sort out the current research status of the retirement community and explore research trends. This study adopts a bibliometric approach, using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) as a database, VOSviewer to analyze research collaboration networks, and CiteSpace to analyze keyword co-occurrences. The study’s conclusion showed that the significant scholars are Ayalon, Resnick, Bennett, Royall, Courtin, and Knapp. The major journals are the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Gerontologist, and Journal of Applied Gerontology.The main research areas are Geriatrics Gerontology, Public Environmental Occupational Health, and Nursing. The primary research countries are the United States, Canada, and China, with the United States leading the way. The study found that the author’s research collaboration network was more active, with Bolling as the bridge author. Institutional collaboration networks were also active, with the University of Washington’s research collaboration network being the most prominent. The research collaboration networks between countries (regions) needed to be more expensive. There are three possible research trends in retirement community research: (1). naturally occurring retirement community (NORC); (2). aging in place; (3). continuing care retirement community (CCRC); (4). physical activity.

The fast and pronounced changes in dwelling space in urban fringe areas, caused by rapid urbanization, has led to the appearance of new centralized communities. These communities possess characteristics of both urban and rural communities and have been facing great pressure related to the reconstruction of social network relations and the cultivation of a community identity. The outcomes of public space satisfaction evaluations are related to the social functions they fulfill, such as motivating social interaction, cultivating community identity, and integrating social relationships. This study evaluates public space satisfaction based on the study of six new centralized communities in an urban fringe area of Suzhou, using grey relational analysis. The results show that the overall satisfaction value is a standard level. Moreover, public space satisfaction is related to patterns of centralization and factors of social culture; especially the latter has great influence on public space satisfaction. Factors related to public space satisfaction can generally be divided into quadrants of “Low Satisfaction–High Significance” and “High Satisfaction–Low Significance.” According to the inverse correlation between satisfaction level with public space and significance of indexes, we propose that indexes of public space satisfaction in the “Low Satisfaction–High Significance” quadrant should be improved greatly during the process of the optimization and construction of public spaces in new centralized communities.
