Analysis of the Willingness and Path of Metropolitan Residents to Participate in Rural Landscape Design：A Case Study of Yanjing Village, Yexie Town

Abstract

With the introduction of the concept of "people's city and people's construction", participatory construction has gradually attracted people's attention and attention. In Yanjing Village, on the outskirts of Shanghai, there is a rural "retirement home" where managers and elderly people from nearby villages are actively involved in landscaping activities. Taking the village as the research object, this paper sorted out the participation intention, influencing factors, participation methods, organizational forms, funding sources, technical support and other issues of rural participatory landscape design on the basis of literature research, and formed a semi-structured questionnaire. Through field observation and in-depth interviews, the interview texts of the above questions were obtained, and then the conclusions were drawn through text analysis and inductive summary methods. The results show that the villagers have a strong willingness to participate, and are currently in the spontaneous stage, mainly in front of and behind their own houses or on the vacant land near the nursing home, and the main difficulties include insufficient plant design and planting technology, insufficient aesthetic resources, insufficient funding sources, arbitrary organizational forms, and lack of norms and rules, resulting in insufficient sustainability. It can be through technical guidance, such as joint construction with relevant majors in colleges and universities, to improve the ability of villagers' landscape design, to expand the channels of funding sources, such as villagers' self-raising + government subsidies + enterprise donations, and to establish a multi-party participation of the coordination mechanism, such as the establishment of a rural landscape design team composed of villagers, village committees, volunteers, and experts, to formulate rules to ensure the sustainable development of rural participatory landscape design.
