Abstract
Existing literature on elderly community landscape design primarily focuses on single optimization strategies, lacking systematic review and integration of research findings, and fails to establish a comprehensive yet practical design framework that deeply integrates the concept of age-friendliness with practical implementation. As global populations age rapidly, the demand for supportive living environments becomes increasingly critical to ensure the well-being and quality of life for older adults. This study employs a comprehensive literature review approach to systematically organize relevant research outcomes and integrate them into a holistic optimization framework for community landscape design from an age-friendly perspective. By synthesizing diverse studies, this framework addresses the fragmented shortcomings of current research and bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practical urban planning. It provides a standardized reference system for subsequent studies, enriches theoretical advancements in age-friendly landscape design, and promotes the field's development toward systematic and standardized progress, holding significant academic value. Furthermore, the proposed design strategies emphasize the creation of accessible outdoor spaces that encourage social interaction, provide opportunities for physical activity, and reinforce feelings of connectivity to one another. Ultimately, this research highlights the necessity of multidisciplinary collaboration in urban design to foster inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities that cater to the physical and psychological needs of aging populations.
