Analysis of the Design Needs of Urban Pet-friendly Parks from the Perspective of Human-pet Coexistence

Abstract

Under the background of accelerated urbanisation, the rapid growth of the number of pets has promoted the transformation of public space, and pet-friendly parks have become a key measure to balance the human-pet relationship and enhance the vitality of the city. From the perspective of human-pet coexistence, this article builds a multi-dimensional analysis framework. First, it deeply explores the differentiated demands of pet owners, pet individuals and diverse groups. Secondly, it systematically sorts out the specific requirements of functional layout, facility materials and ecological integration. Finally, it puts forward the phased design path and sustainable management strategy. The research adopts a combination of demand-driven and practice-oriented methods, emphasising safety, comfort and inclusion, and reducing conflicts and promoting interaction through spatial innovation and technology empowerment. Finally, a complete plan from foundation transformation to demonstration guidance is formed, which not only provides reference for the planning department, but also creates a harmonious and shared leisure environment for residents. Practical application shows that such parks can significantly reduce management pressure, improve use satisfaction, and help the construction of ecological cities.
