The Impact of Urban Compactness on the Spatial Accessibility of Urban Public Service Facilities
Since the construction of a high-quality public service facilities(PSF)system is the basic project of building a livable city,its accessibility has become one of the two major goals of the supply-side structural reform of basic public services in China.At present,China's cities are facing the coexisting problems of urban compactness deterioration and poor spatial accessibility of PSF,thus it is of great significance to study the accessibility of urban PSF from the holistic urban perspective and urban spatial form to optimize the spatial layout of urban PSF.Taking three major public service facilities of prefecture-level and above cities in China as research objects,the present paper quantitatively measures the spatial accessibility of urban PSF,and then empirically analyzes the total impact of urban compactness on the spatial accessibility of urban PSF and the heterogeneous impact on different types of PSF.Meanwhile,the moderating effects of facility size dis-tribution and local fiscal autonomy of the above impacting process are also examined.The empirical results show that the impact of urban compactness on the accessibility of urban PSF presents a"U"shape,and most cities are currently in the rising stage of the"U"shape.Besides,the high fiscal autonomy strengthens the crowding out effect of compact urban construction on PSF;the more dispersed the scale of facilities are,the weaker the geometric positive impact of urban compactness is on the spatial accessibility of PSF.
