| Title: | Accessibility of green space in urban areas: an examination of various approaches to measure it |
| Authors: | Zhang, Xin |

| Issue Date: | 28-Aug-2007 |
| Abstract: | In the present research, we attempt to improve the methods used for measuring accessibility of green spaces by combining two components of accessibility-distance and demand relative to supply. Three modified approaches (Joseph and Bantock gravity model measure, the two-step floating catchment area measure and a measure based on kernel densities) will be applied for measuring accessibility to green spaces. We select parks and public open spaces (metropolitan open land) of south London as a case study. Finally, we will discuss results, compare and assess these methods. |
