Urban green space accessibility is an essential consideration in determining environmental liveability and the well-being of individuals, spatial inequity urban supply demand has become a research focus. However, few studies have conducted multidimensional comprehensive assessment influences on from different perspectives demand. To address this, our study centred mountainous Chongqing region established framework examining pattern spaces its correlation with physical geographical elements socioeconomic factors. We reveal distribution characteristics by using Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area network analysis methods further observe clustering features utilising hotspot analysis. The ordinary least squares (OLS) model lag were used to evaluate disparities. Our findings explicit blind spots accessibility, primarily within 30 min travel threshold city’s marginal area. A discernible supply–demand imbalance existed core, constituted implicit spots. Furthermore, we identified that relationship between elevation under not always consistently significant over because heterogeneity may exist. Most concerningly, found inequities particularly impacting vulnerable demographics such as elderly lower-income groups. These results can inform planners policymakers about sufficiently consider determine where how implement inclusive greening policies or planning schemes. It also great significance increasing awareness groups preventing inequality.

Urban areas encompass essential social functions that are fundamental for the development and quality of life. This research explores why concept 15-minute city, while commendable in its aspirations, might fall short effectively mitigating urban inequalities, especially within densely populated segregated developing cities. Using Bogotá (Colombia) as a case study, this paper advocates develops standardized index based on availability walking distance. also integrates individual preferences, geographical attributes, pedestrian infrastructure. Doing so provides more comprehensive understanding factors influencing proximity, accommodating diverse needs various identities. Considering preferences towards proximity is critical to comprehend determinants accessibility, encompassing relevance sociodemographic characteristics. Although several worldwide may meet broad interpretation city concept, our reveals significant disparities among population segments regarding access services their prioritization. Our study found grocery stores healthcare facilities hold paramount importance across all segments. Furthermore, wealthy exhibit heightened preference retail shops commercial services. In contrast, low-income has considerably greater facilities. aims cast light upon structural inherent areas, thereby unveiling inequalities concept's capacity diagnose mitigate inequalities.

During times of stress and social pressure, urban green space provides social, cultural, economic resources that help individuals communities cope. Green accessibility is, therefore, an important indicator related to people’s health welfare. However, is not even throughout areas, with some areas better served than others. patterning a major environmental justice challenge. This research uses GIS approaches analyze understand access in the Australian metropolitan Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. We calculate indicators describe relation different patterns within zones, including inner urban, suburban, peri urban. use best available open data from census 2017 accessibility. Our results relationship between population density distribution four areas. find cities which are generally thought as liveable have considerable challenges inequity must improve address inequity. also range type measures can be used Accessibility varies greatly both city city.

The River Basin Ecological Compensation Policy, which is an important starting point for the realization of ecological civilization, has changed perceptions local residents regarding ecosystem services (ES) and human well-being (HWB). Based on Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework, we performed a face-to-face questionnaire-based survey among 807 randomly selected rural in Xin'an (XARB). Resident cognitive status was evaluated upstream downstream XARB according to ES individual HWB; subsequently, relationships within HWB were discussed. Results showed that attached more importance air purity, education, biodiversity, whereas focused food, clean water, climate, flood regulation. Overall, provisioning regulating ES, respectively. Regarding HWB, highly satisfied with family harmony, culture, entertainment, preferred improved drinking water quality. There significant differences internal correlations between variables both downstream, leading indicators inconsistent. Complex trade-off synergistic also evident, primarily reflected through negative correlation basic material upstream, positive health downstream. These results should help implementing compensation policies, people-oriented developmental concepts decision-making process, ultimately sustainable economic social development XARB.
