Analysis of the Relationship Between Urban Development Land-use Planning Indicators and Subject Well-being of Inhabitant Based on Ordinal Logistic Regression

The effect of urban green space on residents' subjective well-being: evidence from Chinese general social survey

“…The green space area per capita was strongly negatively correlated with residents' SWB, which is consistent with the result of a study that highlighted that an increase in the green space area per capita of the park might lead to a decline in the per capita indicators of other types, thereby reducing convenience factors that improve residents' quality of life (e.g. presence of roadways and sidewalks) and satisfaction (Jin et al. , 2018).…”

However, this finding is contrary to previous findings on the built environment and SWB in Guangzhou China (Liu et al, 2020) which reported a significant positive correlation between UGS area per capita and well-being, possibly due to the fact that green space provides a place for recreation, exercise and neighbourhood interaction, thus increasing the life satisfaction of residents.…”

Jin et al (2018) suggested that the green space area per capita is negatively correlated with residents' SWB, while other scholars reported contrasting findings (Liu et al, 2020). Furthermore, some studies indicate a weak correlation (Wang and Wang, 2016) and nonlinear relationship between green space area per capita and residents' SWB (Bertram and Rehdanz, 2015).…”

Urban and individual correlates of subjective well-being in China: An application of gradient boosting decision trees

“…However, green space between 9 and 14 m 2 per capita is negatively associated with SWB. This is probably because greater amounts of green space indicate that less space is dedicated to other types of land use, which affects destination accessibility and reduce life satisfaction (84). Moreover, in the Chinese context, the negative association may be a result of the imbalance between green park area and function, the weak functionality of city parks, and a lack of user-friendliness and recreational facilities.…”
