Research on the Spatial Distribution of Grand Stadium in China

By using the research methods of literature study, investigation, expert interviews etc., this paper discusses the spatial distribution of grand stadium in China.Firstly, it narrates that generally the layout characteristics of Chinese stadium are economic condition, urban morphology, road, school, and population distribution oriented.Secondly, it shows the problems of the spatial distribution, such as the disequilibrium of overall layout;unreasonable layout structure;centralized arrangement of some stadiums;insufficient connection with urban space;suburbanized locations;and unmatched regional conditions.This paper further illustrates the main reasons for the above mentioned problems:disobeying the law of market economy;inadequate pre-survey and argumentation;lacking of layout decision mechanism;reversing the construction sequence;poor implementation of the standards of stadium land use;unpractical layout guidance.Finally, based on the result of this paper, by drawing experience from foreign countries, the author puts forward some suggestions to optimize the spatial distribution of grand stadium in China, for example, studying the layout from both static and dynamic aspects;focusing on analyzing and specifying the layout direction;following up with content and requirement of the city plan;choosing and constructing the right layout mode;improving quality of layout decision;transferring and fully playing the role of government in the process.
