Abstract:
To address the prevalent issue of a diminished sense of belonging in traditional village public spaces,this paper synthesizes the spatial determinants influencing this sense of belonging and their operational mechanisms from the tripartite perspectives of’ecology’,’form’,and’culture’within the spatial layout framework.Drawing upon the three-dimensional schema of context,vocabulary,and grammar inherent in the schematic language system,the study establishes organic linkages between ecological imbalances,spatial fragmentation,and cultural discontinuities in traditional village public spaces.This theoretical groundwork facilitates the construction of an analytical framework dedicated to the re-establishment of belongingness.Using Majing Village in Ningbo City,Zhejiang Province as a case study,the research extracts the schematic language characteristics of its public spaces to formulate optimized design interventions.These strategies are operationalized through three core design phases:’ecological context recalibration’,’ormal vocabulary integration’,and’cultural grammar narration’.Each phase corresponds to specific objectives-revitalizing place identity,re-establishing aesthetic coherence,and sustaining cultural heritage and aesthetic traditions.The implementation of these strategies is achieved through a nested renewal approach to public space transformation,fostering symbiotic relationships between human inhabitants and their environmental context.This process emphasizes coexistence,emotional resonance,and mutual prosperity.Ultimately,this study aims to provide both theoretical insights and practical design guidelines for the re-establishment of belongingness in traditional village public spaces,while promoting sustainable conservation practices from a spatial design perspective.
