摘要
本文探讨的是芝加哥唐人街这一相对独立和均质的华裔社区的休闲喜好和开放空间需求。该研究通过面对面的访谈和焦点小组讨论的方法,针对该社区总体和新的公园发展计划,确定户外的休闲模式和喜好。调查发现,虽然华裔社区一些流行的活动与主流的英裔美国人的喜好并无区别,然而在含义和意义上却与中国文化有着明确而独特的联系。调查也发现,在调查样本中,因年龄、到达美国年代长短和其他因素的不同,居民的活动喜好存在显著的差异。最后,笔者对公园规划应该考虑的因素和今后需要进行的研究提出了建议。
Leisure preferences and open space needs were explored within a discrete, homogeneous ethnic community: the Chinese Americans of Chicago's Chinatown. Face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions were used to identify outdoor leisure patterns and preferences, in general, and with respect to new park development being planned for the community. Findings show that although some popular activities are no different from what might be expected for the mainstream Anglo American population, the meaning and significance of these activities have clear and unique ties to Chinese culture. Notable differences in activity preferences were found within the sample of respondents according to age, generational status, and other factors. Park planning considerations and future research needs are identified.
