Outdoor green space is an important public resource supporting older adults’ active lifestyle and improving their quality of life (QoL). However, the impact on QoL has seldom been comprehensibly investigated in Asia. Therefore, this study aimed to predict China by conducting both spatial analysis questionnaire surveys. A two-step floating catchment area method was applied measure accessibility adults at subdistrict level. To investigate actual opinions verify results, a large-scale survey also conducted. Both ANOVA logistic regression were adopted analyze data. The results indicated that (1) not equally distributed; (2) possibility good for significantly influenced accessibility, size, facilities space; (3) satisfactory would decrease with increase walking distances self-care ability.

Cities, particularly megacities, face significant challenges in transitioning toward sustainability. Many countries have developed dual or multiple capitals for diverse purposes (e.g., political, administrative, economic, touristic, and cultural). Limited research exists on the ‘15-minute city’ (15-MC) concept, regions like Middle East North Africa (MENA region). This study evaluates application of ‘15-MC’ concept globally regionally to derive Urban Planning Principles (UPPs) indicators livability accessibility. Using a theoretical framework supported by site visits quantitative assessments, examines two districts NAC as case studies. Key UPPs proximity services, mixed-use development, public transport, green spaces, community engagement, local economy, sustainability) were evaluated along with walkability scores, bike infrastructure, environmental impact indicators. The results reveal that most services are accessible within 15-minute walk ride. However, essential facilities universities hospitals) exceed this threshold (20–30 min). area per inhabitant (17 m2/capita) meets WHO European recommendations. has clean, transportation 94.26 km cycling lanes. For sustainability indicator, air pollutants (PM10 NO2) slightly guidelines, but SO2 Ozone levels below limits. estimated waste capita (274 kg) is lower than Cario other counties. findings suggest potential fulfill 15-MC through developments, accessibility, sustainable planning. serves future modeling when it fully occupied.

In rapidly urbanizing areas, there is a notable aggregation of vitality in high-density urban environments, accompanied by an increasing discrepancy between the supply and demand green space (UGS). This study presented integrated framework comprising model for UGS supply-demand coupling coordination measure vitality. Using downtown Beijing as case study, Gini coefficient assessed disparities across different types. The examined how factors interact with vitality, revealing impact imbalances on various dimensions mismatches experienced groups. showed that: (1) 63.29% central Beijing’s areas had low coordination, 39.23% experiencing mismatches; (2) were significantly correlated spatial distribution; (3) these impacted comprehensive vitality; (4) distribution among groups, economic group perceiving greatest inequity (Gini = 0.311), followed social 0.289) cultural 0.247). These findings offer valuable insights more refined assessment enhancement UGS, aiming to achieve balanced, high-quality, sustainable development.

Ecosystem surface plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting economic development. Accurate effective identification of ecosystem with different uses allows for better categorization management contributes to the orderly restoration ecosystems. In this study, Human Footprint Index (HFI) is constructed by comprehensively considering factors biodiversity, human activity impacts, geometric features, combined multi-factor knowledge constraints such as changes land cover. We carry out accurate analysis surfaces, using Changzhou City's tree cover a test area. The results show that: (1) degree affected activities City varies greatly, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) elevation are main affecting level HFI. (2) distribution native artificial uneven, more than 95% surfaces distributed peripheral areas city higher elevations farther away from center. Artificial likely be found high GDP frequent activities, mainly urban centers large proportion buildings along roads. (3) overall accuracy 83.20%, which center area slightly lower agricultural production land. study provide method objective, surface, can improve enthusiasm local governments fulfilling their protection duties contribute efficient achievement goal civilization construction.

This study investigates the distribution of urban green spaces for children and seniors in Tehran, delving into their connection with demographic attributes walkability neighborhoods. The findings reveal an unequal distribution, confirmed by Gini index (0.57) (0.62). Moreover, Multiple Regression Analysis revealed that apartment occupancy rate (r = –0.19) migrant –0.13) were inversely correlated seniors' access to spaces, whereas employment 0.16), intersection density 0.27), land use mix 0.20) exhibited positive associations. Additionally, concerning children, indicated correlations between 0.25) 0.12) spaces. These underscore importance adopting a co-benefits strategy taking account characteristics neighborhood planning decision-making ensure fair vulnerable populations. Implementing strategies like establishing areas lower improving connectivity can greatly improve accessibility both seniors.

Objective Following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, residents are urgently seeking urban sanctuaries that provide both physical and mental solace. Urban green spaces not only offer an opportunity to escape from clamor for stress relief, but also various recreation services, fostering enhancement residents' well-being overall happiness. Consequently, enhancing capacity services has become a pivotal concern. It is common see diverse types space woven into network. However, current research fails clarify characteristics such networks how they response different travel modes. Understanding these gaps essential creating environments cater evolving needs in post-pandemic era, thus ensuring holistic approach Methods Taking central area Wuhan as area, this focuses on identifying extracting blue based coverage vegetation water resources. By virtue real-time path navigation Amap (AutoNavi), extracts shortest paths durations residential areas three modes: walking, cycling, driving. Using social network analysis software Ucinet 6.0, constructs service each mode by taking account 5 minutes, 10 15 minutes. Moreover, analyzes aforesaid combination with global efficiency proportion isolated nodes.Additionally, "core – periphery" "bi-components" conducted investigate functional nodes within durations.. Results When duration more than 85% can be efficiently incorporated under cycling driving modes, while walking exhibit scattered local clustering. As increases, formed modes shows trend rapid growth, growth rate being highest, followed succession mode. The featuring core agglomeration functionality rise extended duration.
