Abstract

The openness of a park's boundary is crucial in promoting accessibility to the park. However, there are few studies that have quantified the impact of park boundary openness on accessibility at the whole-city scale. Additionally, current assessments of urban park accessibility often overlook the actual spatial distribution of the population that utilizes park services. In this research, based on billions of GPS data records of Tokyo, Japan, we simulated the impact of park boundary openness on accessibility across various scenarios, considering the actual spatial distribution of the park visitor population across the entire city region. We analyzed the impact of park boundary openness on accessibility in different categories of parks and during different visitation times. Furthermore, we examined the marginal effect of improving park boundary openness. Our results show that park accessibility increase as the park boundary openness increase. Larger parks benefit more from an improvement in boundary openness, and visitors who live closer to parks also benefit more. Additionally, the marginal utility of boundary openness improvement decreases as the number of entrances to the park increases. Our research suggests operation strategies for park boundary openness specific to different park usage pattern should be considered and developed.

利用手机大数据模拟公园边界开放度对可达性的影响

公园边界的开放性对于促进公园的可达性至关重要。然而，很少有研究对整个城市范围内公园边界的开放性对可达性的影响进行量化。此外，目前对城市公园可达性的评估往往忽略了使用公园服务的人口的实际空间分布。在这项研究中，我们基于日本东京的数十亿条 GPS 数据记录，模拟了公园边界开放度在各种情况下对可达性的影响，同时考虑了公园游客人口在整个城市区域的实际空间分布。我们分析了公园边界开放度对不同类别公园和不同游览时间的可达性的影响。此外，我们还研究了提高公园边界开放度的边际效应。结果表明，随着公园边界开放度的提高，公园的可达性也会提高。规模较大的公园从提高边界开放度中获益更多，而居住地离公园较近的游客也能从中获益更多。此外，改善边界开放度的边际效用会随着公园入口数量的增加而降低。我们的研究表明，应考虑并制定针对不同公园使用模式的公园边界开放度运营策略。

期刊介绍： Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
