Abstract

Meeting urban population needs through UGS design is a global concern, yet no consistent framework exists to assess how UGS meets human needs. This study develops a four hierarchal levels (nine-indicator) framework for assessing UGS in meeting the needs of surrounding groups and applies it to the 20 UGSs in Southeast Queensland (SEQ), Australia. The framework categorizes human needs into four levels—prerequisites (accessibility, security, and legibility), basic needs (privacy and sociality), higher-level needs (education, health, and special needs), and highest-level needs (personal identity). It was found that the UGSs in the SEQ region lack sufficient attention to security, legibility, convenience, and education needs, and the design of Anzac Park and five other parks are generally weak against the nine indicators. Additionally, key UGS functions such as privacy, education and identity showed no significant correlation with socio-economic indicators. Our framework can assist in identifying potential problems and provide a whole-of-system basis for future UGS design.

澳大利亚昆士兰东南部城市绿地适应性管理的评估框架

通过UGS设计满足城市人口需求是全球关注的问题，但目前还没有统一的框架来评估UGS如何满足人类需求。本研究开发了一个四个层次（九个指标）框架，用于评估UGS是否满足周边群体的需求，并将其应用于澳大利亚昆士兰州东南部（SEQ）的20个UGS。该框架将人类需求分为四个层次——先决条件（可访问性、安全性和易读性）、基本需求（隐私和社交性）、更高层次的需求（教育、健康和特殊需求）和最高层次的需求（个人身份）。研究发现，SEQ地区的UGSs在安全性、易读性、便利性和教育需求方面缺乏足够的重视，Anzac公园和其他5个公园的设计在这9个指标上普遍较弱。此外，UGS的关键功能，如隐私、教育和身份，与社会经济指标没有显著相关性。我们的框架可以帮助识别潜在的问题，并为未来的UGS设计提供整个系统的基础。

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.
