Therefore, this study aims to: 1) study the forms and elements of types of rehabilitation gardens related to the promotion of community health, 2) analyze the principles of multidisciplinary rehabilitation garden design, and build rehabilitation gardens suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to improve the quality of life. Based on descriptive analysis, this paper uses multidisciplinary data integration process to conduct quantitative research. Using physiological and psychological related data, based on PDPA (Plan-Design-Prototyping-Assessment) design method, the population and samples are divided into two areas: Sunshine City Elderly Community Rehabilitation Garden and Dongfeng Qu Rehabilitation Garden, each area uses 3 sample groups: 1) 30 middle-aged and elderly people, 2) 3 medical staff, 3) designers and experts, a total of 6 samples, from 2 study areas. Collect data through interviews. Questionnaires and related literature reviews are used for the analysis of data practicality and health promotion dimensions for rehabilitation garden design.

In the questionnaire survey of 180 respondents, 52% were under the age of 60 and 48% were over 60 years old, nearly 60% of the respondents recovered from a sub-health state to a healthy state, 20% of the respondents had obvious physical and mental improvement, and the remaining nearly 20% were due to various physical reasons, although the physiological effect was not obvious, however the daily rehabilitation activities helped to relax the body and mind and relax the mood, indicating that the rehabilitation garden under the PDPA design guidelines has a healing effect on the respondents in the sub-health state. In terms of the space design of the rehabilitation garden, 50.73% of the respondents hope to set up a quiet meditation space area in the rehabilitation garden, and 41.67% of the respondents hope to set up a sports and morning exercise activity venue.

In the landscape design part, the rehabilitation garden contains some elements that must take into account the physical conditions and their impact on health, the survey shows that 53.89% of respondents expect wood as the material for leisure facilities, and 15.67% of respondents expect stone as the material for leisure facilities. In this paper, descriptive analysis and statistics are nested in the planning process based on PDPA design method, and the characteristic rehabilitation garden design methods and elements are derived.
