    Cultural adaptation to aging: a study on digital cultural adaptation needs of Chinese older adults based on KANO model

    by Sheng Li, Marzudi Md Yunus, Rosila Bee Binti Mohd Hussain, Wenyuan Lin

    Introduction: With the rapid advancement of digitalization and an aging population, China faces unprecedented challenges in older adults’ digital cultural adaptation. The “54th Statistical Report on China’s Internet Development” reveals that individuals aged 60 and above constitute 14.3% of total internet users. However, significant barriers persist in their digital participation, necessitating a deeper understanding of their adaptation process and needs.Methods: This study employs the KANO model to assess older adults’ digital cultural adaptation. A total of 205 respondents participated in a questionnaire survey, with data analyzed using the highest frequency method and the Better-Worse coefficient. The study categorizes digital cultural needs into three dimensions: must-be requirements, one-dimensional requirements, and attractive requirements.Results: The findings indicate that: 1. Older adults’ digital cultural needs comprise must-be requirements (basic functional design, 47.8%), one-dimensional requirements (social participation, 36.1%), and attractive requirements (innovative experiences, 66.8%). 2. Intergenerational cultural cognitive differences, digital skill levels, and the urban–rural digital divide significantly impact their adaptation process. 3. While respondents positively evaluate digital life satisfaction, personal adaptation, and digital content diversity, they express dissatisfaction and expectations regarding family guidance, age-friendly digital services, and the role of digital content in improving life quality.Discussion: The results highlight the need for targeted strategies in technical support, content design, and service provision to enhance older adults’ digital cultural adaptation. Addressing group-specific needs and preferences through coordinated measures can improve digital inclusion, foster intergenerational cultural integration, and optimize digital cultural service systems. This study offers valuable theoretical insights and practical implications for advancing policies and initiatives that support older adults in the digital era.

    Elderly People in the Digital Cultural Environment: Social media use, environmental stress, and intergenerational interaction

    by Sheng Li, Yuchen Yin, Marzudi Md Yunus

    Digitalization and population aging are profoundly reshaping contemporary Chinese society, with 14.3% of internet users now aged 60 and above. This study examines elderly Chinese individuals' adaptation to the digital environment through a survey of 205 participants aged 60 and above. Findings reveal widespread basic digital usage (88.78% use smartphones) but limited advanced engagement. While intergenerational support is the primary learning channel (87.32%), significant barriers exist, including communication difficulties and psychological concerns. Digital services' age-friendliness (satisfaction 2.92/5) requires improvement, particularly in accessibility features. The study recommends enhancing age-friendly design and optimizing support systems to promote digital inclusion among the elderly.

    Cultural Aesthetics of Human Body: A Contemporary Interpretation through Traditional Chinese Ink Artistry

    by Fulong Liu, Mohammad Khizal Mohamed Saat, Sheng Li

    In contemporary artistic discourse, Dissociative Identity Disorder has emerged as a significant focus of cultural exploration. While the human body serves as a cultural vessel for expressing mental states through artistic mediums, traditional Chinese ink painting—despite its rich cultural heritage—has historically limited visual representation of the human form, creating a gap in artistic dialogue about mental health. This artistic research employs studio practice methodology to bridge traditional Chinese artistic elements with contemporary visual expression of the human body, specifically examining Dissociative Identity Disorder through a cultural lens. The findings demonstrate that through cultural innovation while preserving the essence of Chinese ink painting traditions, the human form can be effectively rendered to portray the psychological manifestations of Dissociative Identity Disorder. This artistic exploration not only expands the cultural vocabulary of Chinese ink painting but also creates a new artistic paradigm for its evolution in contemporary cultural discourse.

    Research on Digital Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on Digital Implantation

    by Kaiqiang Yan, Sheng Li

    A large number of intangible cultural heritages (ICH), In the development process of the evolution of world history, have been born. In addition, these heritages preserve the most precious part of historical civilization and have high research value. However, in social modernization, these ICHs are gradually being destroyed, and their preservation is becoming increasingly difficult. The protection of ICH cannot be relaxed at any moment. With the progress of science and technology, digital technology has become one of the means to protect ICH, and also explored new ways for the inheritance of ICH. Therefore, it is necessary to use modern information technology to store and preserve ICH. With the rapid development of the information age, digital implantation technology has gradually entered all aspects of life. This technology was effectively applied to preserve animation in the early days effectively, later researchers found that this technology has an excellent effect on the preservation of ICH, so it has been widely used. This paper firstly summarizes the current domestic ICH protection situation and the corresponding foreign policies. On this basis, digital implantation is applied to the relevant core technologies of ICH protection. The Digital implantation technology model of ICH is analyzed to protect the current ICH effectively and will promote the sustainable development of ICH.


  • Studying Tian Hock Keng's architectural heritage through the lens of interaction through digital design

    by Luo Hong, Kang Xinyan, Li Sheng, Zhou Yangmengliu

    The history of human civilization has formed a large number of precious architectural heritage, which reflects a country's achievements in engineering technology, social development, culture, art, etc. This architectural heritage also covers the concepts of architectural design planning. However, with the changes in the environment and the influence of human activities, cultural heritage is inevitably eroded and destroyed. The distribution of architectural cultural heritage is wide and large, and the resources for architectural protection are given priority to projects with higher value, and it is impossible to cover all. Under the background of the digital age, the digital preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage have gradually become an inevitable trend. Digital cultural heritage technologies supported by technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D modeling provides rich means for digital recording, preservation, display, and inheritance of cultural heritage, and expand the connotation of traditional cultural heritage protection.Virtual reality technology has been widely used in the protection and dissemination of architectural cultural heritage. As a national key cultural relics protection unit in Singapore, THK has a long history and rich ancient architectural resources. The research aims to digitally preserve THK from inevitable physical damage by creating 3D interactive models, which can restore the historical, cultural, and aesthetic value of THK's architectural heritage. With breakthroughs in perceptual interaction technology in recent years, the mode of natural interaction in VR has more possibilities. This research mainly focuses on the application of natural interaction modes based on eye and hand movement tracking on architectural cultural heritage dissemination. Meanwhile, it also explores the application in the dissemination of architectural cultural heritage and summarizes the interactive designing strategy. As the eye movement and hand movement tracking modules are applied to the virtual interactive display of THK, we have the following objectives. Firstly, we will analyze the characteristics of information dissemination which is in various forms in natural interaction. Moreover, we will validate design strategies for natural interactions with experiments, optimizing the user experience of the audience who are experiencing the interaction. Particularly, the 3D interactive mode can interactively transport users back in time. Although both the aesthetic elements and the architectural space have evolved through time, users can still interact with them. To experience the history and culture, target users can watch and interact with THK digital architecture models on their mobile phones from anywhere. This study can improve the impact of information spreading and make helpful explorations of the digital dissemination method of cultural heritage, as well as have positive effects on the distribution of spatial structural information and historical and cultural information about architectural heritage.
