ABSTRACT
With the aging of the population in today's era, the model of Elderly Long-Stay Tourism has been gradually favored by the majority of the elderly. Under the educational background of internet plus, the characteristics of senior citizens’ demand for public space are investigated. Taking the southern Hunan region as the research object, we select three sites for investigation and analysis, and use the computer-aided design software for drawing. We take the elderly in Southern Hunan as the main research object, and based on ERG theory, divide the public space needs for sojourning into the space for existence needs, relatedness needs, and growth needs. By means of sampling survey and interview, we construct a structural equation model about the degree of needs of the elderly for sojourning in public space, so as to explore the relationship among the three and analyze the influence degree on the needs of sojourners in public space. This result shows that there is a very obvious positive correlation among the three potential variables: the space for the existence needs of the elderly, the space for the relatedness needs and the space for the growth needs. Moreover, it has a positive impact on the public space where the elderly live. In addition, we also give some suggestions on the public space of sojourners' needs from the smart pension, and provide a theoretical basis for the research on the aging of sojourning in public spaces.
