Abstract
Taking elderly people aged 60–79 years old living in small towns in the south of China as the target of the study. It explores the interaction characteristics between the elderly and the kitchen environment or facilities when they operate in the kitchen based on trace observation and analysis of therbligs. The inconvenience of using the kitchen for the elderly was conducted and the strength of the relationship between each functional zone is analyzed. On this basis, the behavioral characteristics of the kitchen for the elderly in small towns as well as the main points of the design of residential kitchens in small towns are summarized.
