摘 要:China entered an aging society in 1999 based on the United Nations’ definition that an aging society is one where the population aged sixty and above accounts for more than 10 percent of the total population. Accordingly, community-based home care for older people has become a social trend and the main policy orientation of the urban elderly care service system. How to meet older people’s needs for living and caring services in urban residential areas is a major challenge for China to conduct urban redevelopment. This paper analyzes the supply-demand match of age-friendly public service facilities in communities based on the daily needs for public service facilities and the living circle characteristics of older people. Then it conducts an empirical study on typical residential communities in Suzhou and puts forward a hierarchical allocation strategy and improvement suggestions for age-friendly public service facilities in the self-sufficient community living circle, the near neighborhood living circle, and the urban expansion living circle. In addition, it proposes measures for improving the allocation of public service facilities in case communities in Suzhou through urban renewal.
