Abstract

The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that we should implement the "Healthy China Strategy" and actively deal with the aging of the population, The problem between the rapid increase in the number of the elderly and their living environment needs to be paid attention to and solved urgently, and creating a new pension environment has become a hot spot. In this study, the methods of ergonomics measurement, investigation and analysis and data statistical analysis were used to obtain the data related to the human body size of the elderly, and a set of reference standards for the size of aging facilities were put forward. Taking Huanggang Sanatorium in Duanzhou District of Zhaoqing City as an example, the indoor of nursing homes environment was designed with the standard design dimensions garden chairs and aromatic plants. In this environment, the relationship between the different concentrations of the fragrant plants and the physical health indicators of the elderly was quantitatively analyzed through the research methods of human physiology. Meanwhile, the outdoor environment of nursing homes with the standard design dimensions display garden facilities was also designed. The study provides an objective data and scientific basis for the construction of green natural recuperation environment and the study of landscape recuperation function in the future.
