The Influence of Miniaturization of Urban Family Structure on Residential Interior Space Layout in China

Abstract

The change of family structure is one of the important factors affecting the change of interior space layout of urban residences in China. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the urban family structure in China tends to be smaller. which is closely related to factors such as the acceleration of modernization, changes in traditional core family models, and long-term implementation of family planning policies. The main trends in the evolution of small-sized families structures in China are the empty nest of the elderly, the DINK families, and the solitary living of young people. we have identified three core needs for interior spaces within these small families: leisure and livability; independence and efficiency; convenience and intelligence. Based on their needs, analyze of three types of small-sized families from six aspects: entrance hall; living room; bedroom; dining room; kitchen; bathroom.
