Abstract

Existing quantification of green equity focused on static spatial measures, neglecting the dynamics of residents' behavior. This study introduces a novel method based on residents' daily commute trajectories to identify visible green exposure and equity, distinguishing between marginalized and formal settlements. We employed Lasso regression and LightGBM models to demonstrate the contributions of 2D green landscape patterns and 3D green morphologies to visible green equity, as well as the synergistic effects between variables. The results indicated: (1) Residents in marginalized settlements experience more equitable visible greenery compared to those in formal areas. (2) 3D green morphologies, 2D landscape patterns, and spatial patterns play roles of decreasing importance in influencing visible green equity, compensating for the neglect of 3D green morphology in existing conclusions. (3) Synergistic analysis revealed that diversified, dispersed, and low green spaces contribute to promoting visible green equity across all settlements. (4) Marginalized settlements can utilize fragmented small green spaces to reduce spatial segregation, while formal settlements need to focus on the soft boundaries between green spaces and housing. The inclusive green planning strategies proposed in this study consider the residential marginalization and the dynamics of residents' daily commute, offering new insights for differentiated neighborhood green planning.

边缘化但平等？边缘化居民日常通勤中可见的绿色公平差异及其潜在的绿色解决方案的调查

现有的绿色公平量化侧重于静态的空间尺度，忽视了居民行为的动态性。本研究引入了一种基于居民日常通勤轨迹的新方法，以识别可见的绿色暴露和公平，区分边缘化和正式住区。利用Lasso回归和LightGBM模型分析了二维绿色景观格局和三维绿色形态对可见绿色公平的贡献，以及变量之间的协同效应。结果表明：(1)边缘化住区居民的可见绿化水平高于正式住区居民。(2)三维绿色形态、二维景观格局和空间格局对可见绿色公平的影响逐渐减弱，弥补了现有结论对三维绿色形态的忽视。(3)协同分析表明，多样性、分散性和低绿化空间有助于促进住区的可见绿色公平。(4)边缘化聚落可以利用碎片化的小型绿地来减少空间隔离，而正式聚落则需要关注绿地与住房之间的软边界。本研究提出的包容性绿色规划策略考虑了居住边缘化和居民日常通勤的动态，为差别化社区绿色规划提供了新的见解。

期刊介绍： Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
