Optimization Design of Rest Facilities in the External Space of Guangzhou Metro Wushan Station Based on PSPL Survey
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
[Objective] In order to improve the quality of urban space, it is necessary to optimize the design of rest facilities in the external space of urban rail transit stations. [Method] The external space of Wushan Station on Guangzhou Metro Line 3 with very high level of public activities is taken as the research area and investigated based on the PSPL (public space-public life) research method. The crowd flow change in the area at different time periods is analyzed through on-site counting. The evaluation and demand of the main users of the space is explored and analyzed through interviews. The route of the crowd flow in the area at peak and off-peak periods is counted and analyzed through behavioral note. The reasons for the spatial and temporal differences in the activities of the crowds and their activity demands are further explored through on-site investigation. Based on the characteristics of the temporal and spatial differences of crowd activities in this area, an optimal design strategy of foldable and modular rest facilities is proposed. [Result & Conclusion] Folding seats can not only meet the basic needs of pedestrians for a short rest, waiting or staying, but also flexibly use the space. When not in use, the seats can be folded back to the original facilities, greatly saving the public space. The modular design uses cuboid block modules instead of decorative facilities such as flower boxes, because the free combination of modules can make use of the space to guide crowd flow reasonably, which can not only meet the different needs of different people at different time periods, and but also improve the interaction between people and space.
