Exploring how distribution pattern of urban green space relates to accessibility, utilization and health: Diagnostic planning for sustainable city living in KMC, India
Access to urban green spaces (UGS) and its utilization has a benefit of improving the quality of life through improved physical and psychological health, social cohesion, environmental balance, and aesthetic aspects of urban living. Urban parks are an effective form of UGS for enhancing better health and well-being. The research is an answers to the question whether or not the distribution pattern influences the public accessibility and utilization of UGS and public health outcome. The geospatial tools like Average Nearest Neighbour Analysis (ANNA) and buffer analysis reveals an unplanned distribution of 752 parks within the city limit. The research proves a differential spatial arrangement of parks result in differential health and well-being opportunities for the city dwellers. The uniform distribution pattern evidences a more equitable public access and utilization, however it is contrary to the cluster pattern. A little area found lying within and a huge area beyond the buffer zone of 300-m distance at the borough as well as ward level of cluster pattern-region. Having a result of uniformly distributed parks are more accessible and useable, the study proposes an evidence-based diagnostic planning model with an actionable plan for healthy city living. The study proposes policies for developing new parks and improving the existing parks. The city planners and policy makers may adopt the proposed model plan for other cities of similar character.
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.
