Planning schemes of New Pingdi and Xiangyunzhuang Village were analyzed from six perspectives: selection of new village site, planning structure, planned road, architectural layout, public facilities and landscape design. It was then proposed that "village relocation and annexation" could not only save investment in public infrastructure, but also improve land use efficiency, thus it was an important approach of optimizing distribution of land resources.展开更多

This research examined the reasons why the relocated elderly create social networks in the neighborhood. The research subject area is one snowfall town in Hokkaido, Japan. The subjects are 20 elderly people, who have been relocated to the town. The public health nurses individually conducted an interview and broke down the verbatim records into qualitative descriptions. The subjects ranged from 68 to 94 years old. Reasons why the elderly create social networks in their neighborhoods are to make their lives easier, to prepare for emergencies, to get rid of their loneliness, and to enjoy their lives. Community health providers should understand the need for neighboring social networks based on the elderly people’s condition, and support and create new networks in their community depending on their situations.展开更多
