Sommario/riassunto

This book presents methodological and empirical advancements in evaluating the accessibility, use demand and behavior, and equity of urban parks. A comparative analysis was conducted across four planning areas in Singapore, a renowned compact city. An innovated conceptual framework was devised to effectively measure residents’ physical and perceived accessibility to their most often visited parks, explore their perceptional park use demand and behavior, as well as to evaluate the spatial equity of park distribution. This was achieved through spatial analysis combined with a household perception study involving 597 participants. The target audience for this book includes undergraduate and graduate students interested in accessibility, behavior and equity analysis, researchers focusing on spatial and behavioral analysis of urban public facilities, and practitioners involved in the planning and management of urban parks and greenspaces.
