| Abstract: | This study aims to address the complexity of integrating multi-local cultural elements into urban furniture design by systematically identifying, classifying, and prioritizing cultural features specific to the Southern Fujian region. Using the Anping Bridge Qiaotou Square in Shuitou Town as a case study, the research seeks to enhance the accuracy and cultural responsiveness of urban furniture planning. Methodologically, the study employs hierarchical theory and inductive methods to generalize cultural elements into a structured system comprising three levels (tangible, behavioral, and intangible) and five categories, totaling 35 elements. The Kano model and importance questionnaires were distributed to 473 respondents (including local residents, tourists, and designers) to quantify perceptual needs and importance ratings. Statistical tools such as SPSS were used for reliability and factor analysis. The results identify two exciting elements (academy and stagecoach), two expectant elements (stone bridge and arcade), and two necessary elements (bridge repair and martial arts), each with distinct public importance rankings. A three-tier design strategy is proposed: differentiating core-axis-node spaces at the layout level, applying narrative reconstruction and collage at the monomer level, and emphasizing characteristic rhythm and harmony at the scene level. In conclusion, this approach provides a systematic and publicly-informed framework for incorporating regional cultural elements into urban furniture design, enhancing cultural identity and user satisfaction. The methodology offers replicable strategies for culturally-grounded urban design, supported by empirical public demand analysis. |
