| Abstract: | India's elderly population, projected to constitute 20.8% of the total by 2050, urgently requires urban infrastructure that supports holistic wellness amid rising urbanization and nuclear family structures. Existing community parks largely fail seniors through inaccessible paths, insufficient shade, and absent social-recreation zones, exacerbating health disparities and social withdrawal. This research proposes a comprehensive Senior Citizen Wellness Pavilion—a modular, climate-responsive structure integrating WHO Age-Friendly Cities principles, universal design tenets, therapeutic landscape theory, and Indian accessibility standards. Employing mixed-methods research—including demographic profiling, multi-site accessibility audits, user behavior observations, environmental simulations, and iterative design prototyping—the pavilion features a continuous "wellness spine" with barrier-free circulation (1.2-1.5m wide paths, ≤1:12 ramps), ergonomically optimized resting clusters, shaded interaction pavilions, and adaptive microclimate elements. The introduced Senior Wellness Performance Index synthesizes ten theoretical constructs (accessibility equity, thermal equity, social vitality metrics) to enable longitudinal evaluation. Theoretical synthesis reveals 25-40% potential uplift in senior park engagement, establishing a replicable civil engineering paradigm that harmonizes technical precision with human-centered urbanism for India's aging cities. |
