Globally, people are living longer. Today, most people may anticipate living into their 60s and beyond. The number of older people and their share of the population is increasing in every nation. With the continuous growth of age, the physiological function and psychological function characteristics of the elderly population continue to decline while they need an active lifestyle. Therefore, the demand for outdoor physical landscapes also changes. This paper aims to study and analyse the physiological and psychological function characteristics of the aged group. The characteristics of daily behaviours and activities of the elderly people and their actual needs for outdoor landscapes were obtained. The influence factors of the elderly population on the ageing outdoor landscape space are as early as in the design process of space planning, design layout, facilities, and process flow in the design and construction stages. The finding provides theoretical support and design guidance for the new construction to generate healthy, livable, ageing outdoor landscapes space. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2024.
