浅谈建筑设计中的“医养结合”和本期介绍

Combination of Medical Care and Social Care in Architectural Design and the Introduction of This Issue

随着我国医养结合政策的制定和实行，不少相关的建筑已经完成设计并且相继落地。由于人口老龄化的加剧，国人生活质量的提高和庞大养老市场的需求，未来将有大量的医疗和养老相关的建筑在该政策的影响下被建造和使用。在这种情况下，理解医养结合的合义和将之正确地应用到相关建筑设计和开发中变得至关重要。本期通过五篇论文（包括本介绍文章）和五个案例介绍加拿大西部（艾伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省）的医养环境。

The development and implementation of the policy of Combination of Medical Care and Social Care （CMCSC） has led to the design and construction of care facilities according to policy guidelines. In China, the increase in the aging population, the improvement of quality of life, and the needs of the aging market have required more buildings to be developed under this policy. As such, it is critical to understand the meanings of CMCSC and its application in architectural design. This issue explores the aging environment in Western Canada through five articles, including this introductory article, that discuss five architectural examples in Alberta and British Columbia. The first section of this article discusses my understanding of CMCSC from the perspectives of foundation, meaning, and goals. The second section introduces the structure of this issue, seeking to explore the associations between medical care and social care within the context of the built environment and to inspire architects, designers, and developers to create more suitable living environments for elderly people in China in order to enhance their well-being.
