Study on Urban Public Green Space Usage Behavior and Its Impact Mechanisms on Health Benefits:A Case Study of Guangzhou and Shenzhen
The environmental factors of urban public green spaces can influence the behavioral activities and physical and mental health of urban residents.This study focuses on the urban public green spaces in Guangzhou and Shenzhen,using questionnaires and field interviews to investigate urban residents'green space usage behavior.A multiple regression model is employed to explore the main environmental factors affecting residents'health benefits and green space usage behavior.The results indicate that residents'usage behavior is primarily influenced by factors such as education level and income and is not significantly related to environmental factors of the green spaces themselves.Regarding health benefits,physiological health benefits are significantly related to population's education level and soundscape,while psychological and social health benefits are also significantly related to soundscape.Additionally,physiological,psychological,and social health benefits are significantly associated with accessibility and management levels.These findings suggest landscape optimisation strategies to promote green space usage behavior and enhance health benefits.
