Approach of Social Integration for Migrant Population Based on Community Green Space:Mediated by Social Interaction and Place Attachment
The influence of community green space on the social integration of urban migrant population has been paid more and more attention.However,the mechanism and path of community green space on social integration of urban migrant population are not clear at present.The research explored the influence of community green space environment perception on social integration of urban migrant population in Hangzhou,leveraging a structural equation model(SEM)informed by the emotional event theory.By employing a questionnaire survey administered to the migrants across 15 communities,the research investigates the mediating variables of social interaction and place attachment.The results show that:1)Community green space environment perception has a significant positive effect on social interaction and place attachment,but no significant effect on social integration;2)Social interaction and place attachment have significant positive effect on social integration respectively;3)Social interaction and place attachment have significant partial mediating effects in the relationship between community green space environment perception and social integration of urban migrants,and the mediating effect of social interaction is significantly larger than that of place attachment.The paper enriches the research scope of social integration of the migrant population and can provide a new decision basis for the construction of inclusive cities.
