Abstract
Many old residential communities in China suffer from various degrees of nighttime lighting issues due to outdated lighting facilities and a lack of outdoor lighting design, significantly affecting residents' sense of security during nighttime activities. Taking the faculty residential area at North China University of Technology as an example, this study conducted field investigations and data collection on the quantity, illumination, and distribution of outdoor nighttime lighting fixtures. The research primarily analyzed the impact of the outdoor nighttime lighting environment on residents' activities and identified existing issues. Finally, targeted solutions and suggestions were proposed.
