Public Space Analysis on Spontaneously Formed University Towns on the Basis of Students' Behaviors to Attend and Dismiss the Class - A Case Study of Shigulu Block in Jimei District, Xiamen City

摘要

Jimei School Village is a university town with a history of nearly one hundred years. Its "spontaneous" formation is distinctly different from that of the prevailing "planning-construction" university towns. Under the turning point of public space optimization in Jimei District, this paper took the behaviors of students in the university town to attend and dismiss the class as the breakthrough point to analyze characteristics in the block, so as to understand the demands of students in this special university town for public space. The paper summarized possible shortcomings in Jimei School Village and regarded this as the basis for optimization and reconstruction of the school village. It provided a case for researches on "spontaneous" university towns.
