Using GIS analysis to assess urban green space in terms of accessibility: case study in Kutahya
TLDR
In this article, the distribution and amount of green space in Kutahya is examined as well as the distribution of green areas on a neighbourhood scale, and the even distribution of the distance and accessibility of green area throughout the city are closely related to the provision of recreational needs.Abstract:
It should be possible, for a city, to achieve a healthy environment, an active green space, and an urban distribution of the size of a systematic planning of functional and aesthetic qualities, and it will be possible with the development of an urban design concept. The adequacy of the standard value of green space is usually specified in the relevant legislation, and the current per capita of the city is identified by comparing it to the amount of green space. In this study, the distribution and amount of green space in Kutahya is examined as well as the distribution of green areas on a neighbourhood scale. Size and per capita rates are evaluated. Even distribution of the distance and accessibility of green areas throughout the city are closely related to the provision of recreational needs. Different sizes of green area, recreational activities, and accessibility standards vary depending on the city unit they serve. According to the digitization of parks composed of polygons in the ArcGIS attribute tabl...read more

Within What Distance Does "Greenness" Best Predict Physical Health? A Systematic Review of Articles with GIS Buffer Analyses across the Lifespan.
TL;DR: It is found that larger buffer sizes, up to 2000 m, better predicted physical health than smaller ones, and it is recommended that future analyses use nested rather than overlapping buffers to evaluate to what extent greenness not immediately around a person’s home predicts physical health.
