Ro-Space in the Chinese Imperial Garden Analyzed by the Users Stay

Abstract

In Chinese Imperial Garden in Beijing and its outskirts, there are long ro-spaces along the lakeside. Many users walk on ro-spaces and enjoy the sights, with some stops or having seats on the rails of ro-spaces. We can recognize that especially many people sit on the rails to see the sights and enjoy derivative behaviors like taking the rests, eating and conversations. We analysed the density of peoples stay at ro-spaces by the video obsevations in Summer Palace (Yihe Yuan), Beihai Park in Beijing and Mountain Resort in Chengde. Vivid sights do not offer at continuous similar spaces, but we could recognize many peoples stay in long distance at ro-spaces close by water. Even a long ro-space, we can plan the points of dense stay of people by the design elements like rise and fall, curved lines and change of the distance from water.
