Abstract Green spaces are vital for the urban ecosystem, providing residents with diverse ecosystem services. However, heterogeneity in spatial locations and landscape configurations, caused variousness of services quality green spaces. Previous studies mainly examined equity based on quantitative factors like distance scale. service space remains unclear. We studied 226 park spaces(UPGS) Hangzhou constructed Ecosystem Service Quality Index (ESQI) to evaluate regional analyze driving by Gini coefficient Lorenz curve. Results showed that (1) 77.43% parks had moderately low ESQIs (0.100–0.230), spatially heterogeneous distribution. (2) There was a high degree unfairness regarding area, number points interest facilities, proportion water bodies, effective grid patches, total edge length. (3) Heterogeneity distribution internal patterns UPGSs significant quality. (4) The main influencing consisted natural factors(green cover impervious cove) location factors(Park Cooling Index). characteristics cannot reflect level Urban ecological construction should not simply focus increasing quantity, rather it is more crucial improve UPGS.

Given the critical role of urban green space (UGS) in fostering sustainable development, there is a growing focus on assessing levels and inequalities exposure. However, integration UGS with particularly context China’s unique national conditions, remains underexplored. This study evaluates adequacy equity provision 140 Chinese cities (with built-up areas exceeding 100 km2) using metrics such as percentage space, exposure, Gini coefficient. Additionally, investigates interplay between natural, economic, social factors variables, examining interrelation urbanization development within framework distinctive land finance policy. The findings reveal that most large suffer from inadequate inequitable provisions, clear connection these deficiencies. highlights favorable natural economic growth, urbanization, living transfer system China can enhance exposure equality. research offers valuable insights evidence for central local governments to devise effective greening strategies, aiming attain high-quality development.

Quantifying the unequal supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) is a prerequisite for hierarchical ecological governance decisions. However, previous studies have largely overlooked scale effect spatially adjacent units role spatial compactness in shaping inequality. To address these research gaps, this study conducted survey six counties within Danjiangkou Basin China. By adopting moving window-based local Gini coefficient method, we quantified inequality ESs region, introduced refined variation to measure compactness, analyzing impact urbanization on The results indicate that region gradually intensifying. from perspective, exhibits significant heterogeneity, decreasing urban centers suburbs rural areas, while maintaining strong continuity. Furthermore, found primary factor exacerbating inequality, compact development can mitigate it. findings provide practical guidance cross-county coordination, restoration, sustainable development.

The vertical expansion of urbanization has increased the morphological heterogeneity urban landscape, affecting physical and emotional wellbeing dwellers by obstructing view greenery. In this study, multisource spatial data was used to calculate building green index (BGVI). Baidu Street View (BSV) images were collected for comparison with corresponding BGVI results. A random forest model analyze contributions marginal effects multiple influencing factors on BGVI. results indicated that approximately 76.10% sampled sites had a higher than street index, indicating buildings' superiority visible greenery in height. western edge research region frequently highest Meanwhile, hotspot regions primarily located west, which more consistent distribution high value zones. area within maximum distance, average height most influential according analysis IncNodePurity. As quantitative measure dwellers' visual accessibility space, will contribute planning development landscape architecture.

Urban green spaces assume a pivotal role in the development of cities. Policies such as parks, street greening, and community greens play significant regulating urban microenvironment, enhancing subjective well-being, increasing regional attractiveness. Additionally, greenbelts have capacity to control sprawl, thereby influencing housing prices population distribution. However, traditional economic models typically addressed other isolation, resulting fragmented planning strategies. This study aims establish novel spatial equilibrium model that accurately assesses socio-economic effects from combined impact various spaces. encompasses infrastructure components carefully balances their appeal against consequent rise costs. The proposed can elucidate latent synergistic interactions among multiple policies, which enables policymakers access multifaceted impacts greening policy combinations. suggests combining different policies mitigate negative single type, redistribution. A case based on empirical data Shanghai, China, has been employed identify additional value associated with diverse scenario analysis alleviate relocation. These findings furnish planners insights develop distribution strategy via judicious integration. Consequently, furnishes academic standpoint within context sustainable metropolitan conglomerates nascent agglomerations amidst evolving post-COVID-19 environment.
