“…A few studies exemplify the trends displayed in Tables 4-7. For proximity, studies in six Chinese cities (e.g., Shanghai, Beijing, Zhongshan, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Macau) showed that high-SES people tend to live closer to urban green spaces than low-SES people, with effect sizes ranging from large to very small [74,81,82,91,92,94,95,97,98,100,101,103,104]. Depending on the methods and sample size, studies focusing on the same city found contrasting results.…”

This review examines disparities in access to urban green space (UGS) based on socioeconomic status (SES) and race-ethnicity in Global South cities. It was motivated by documented human health and ecosystem services benefits of UGS in Global South countries and UGS planning barriers in rapidly urbanizing cities. Additionally, another review of Global North UGS studies uncovered that high-SES and White people have access to a higher quantity of higher quality UGSs than low-SES and racial-ethnic minority people but that no clear differences exist regarding who lives closer to UGS. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to uncover (1) whether UGS inequities in Global North cities are evident in Global South cities and (2) whether inequities in the Global South vary between continents. Through the PRISMA approach and five inclusion criteria, we identified 46 peer-reviewed articles that measured SES or racial-ethnic disparities in access to UGS in Global South cities. We found inequities for UGS quantity (high-SES people are advantaged in 85% of cases) and UGS proximity (74% of cases). Inequities were less consistent for UGS quality (65% of cases). We also found that UGS inequities were consistent across African, Asian, and Latin American cities. These findings suggest that Global South cities experience similar inequities in UGS quantity and quality as Global North cities, but that the former also face inequities in UGS proximity.

“…Some sub-districts with higher IIC have higher PGS use, while some others have a contrary landscape. Nevertheless, by comparing it with the results of accessibility analysis by Xing et al (2018) [55], we find that most of those sub-districts with higher PGS use have relatively good accessibility to PGS. It is a manifestation of the significance of accessibility in PGS use.…”

“…Moreover, a high connectivity of green space can represent good accessibility between green spaces to a certain degree; however, this does not also imply that green spaces can be accessed easily from other non−green places (such as the residences, schools, and workplaces), which needs people access to the green space system first if they want to use it. According to previous studies on green space in Wuhan, the old town areas have very low PGS accessibility [54,55,78]. Therefore, the ignorable weak relationship between the connectivity of PGS and PGS use might be partly attributed to the poor initial accessibility of PGSs.…”

“…With the socio-economic transformation and public awareness of the heath-related benefits of green space, the desire for an equitable opportunity of acquiring green space in Wuhan is urgent [54]. After analyzing the spatio-temporal disparity between demand and supply of PGS from 2000 to 2014, Xing et al (2018) found that although the quantity of PGS supply has increased, the population has grown faster [55]. As a result, the supply of PGS does not meet the demand of residents.…”

A high greenness level can enhance green space use and outdoor physical activity. However, rapid urbanization and high-density development have led to the loss or fragmentation of green space, especially urban public green space (PGS). With the aim of increasing the health benefits from PGS, some planners and researchers suggest connecting existing PGSs to encourage urban residents to use the PGS, and thus, to improve public health. Does this suggestion stand with robustness? By taking 42 sub-districts in the inner area of Wuhan as the study objects, this paper examines the correlation between the connectivity of PGS and its use. We also explore how the characteristics of PGS and the facilities/functions in the neighboring areas influence this relationship by using Location Based Service data (WeChat-Yichuxing data), point of interest (POI) data, and remote-sensing image, etc. Using Regression Analysis, we found that there is no high correlation between PGS use and its connectivity. The possible causes might be attributed to the fact that PGS use is profoundly influenced by multifaceted competing impact factors, and no one can stand dominantly. It is interesting to see that the density of companies is positively, but slightly, related to PGS use.

“…FCA techniques have recently been used to study spatial accessibility to primary health care (Bauer, Müller, Brüggmann, & Groneberg, 2017;Langford, Higgs, & Fry, 2016), food stores (Chen, 2017), libraries (Guo, Chan, & Yip, 2017), green spaces (Xing, Liu, Liu, Wei, & Mao, 2018), and sporting infrastructure (Higgs, Langford, & Norman, 2015). However, very few studies to date have applied E2SFCA to examine the spatial implications of variations in access to childcare or wider educational opportunities.…”

Investigating spatial variations in access to childcare provision using network‐based Geographic Information System models

A “flagship” policy outlined in the current Welsh Government's 2016 Programme for Government aims to provide 30 hours of free early education and childcare per week to the working parents of three‐ and four‐year‐olds. However, in common with many other countries, there is currently a lack of detail regarding existing levels of childcare provision that can act as a benchmark with which to examine the impacts of this policy. This article addresses an urgent need to understand current levels of provision at detailed geographical scales so as to provide an accurate picture of early childhood education and care across Wales. By drawing on Geographic Information System network models we compare the spatial distribution of providers with that of potential demand arising from those population groups targeted in the childcare offer. These provide a simple to understand supply‐to‐demand ratio that overcome the limitations of ratios derived for arbitrary administrative boundaries. The types of map‐based outputs that emanate from such an approach are demonstrated to provide more insights into spatial patterns of accessibility to current levels of childcare provision. These have guided the choice of pilot studies that will inform the roll out of the full childcare offer by the Welsh Government in 2020.
