Abstract:

Based on the comprehensive analysis of the health promotion effect of urban parks and green spaces and related evaluation models, the evaluation index system and evaluation model construction of the suitability of urban parks and green spaces for leisure and recreation under the health perspective are explored. (1) On the basis of literature analysis and expert consultation, we constructed the evaluation index system for the suitability of urban parks and green spaces for health, leisure and recreation, which included 6 criterion layers, 15 element layers and 40 indexes. (2) The analytic hierarchy process and entropy method were used to determine the weight of each index in the evaluation index system. The importance of each level of evaluation index was obtained, and the health efficacy perception (0.2663) and the public aesthetics (0.2470) ranked first and second in the criterion level. The top evaluation indexes in the element layer were physiological health (0.1332), plant landscape (0.0988), air quality (0.0926) and recreational space (0.0871). (3) With the help of questionnaire survey scores, an empirical evaluation of the suitability of the green space of Hangzhou Chengbei Sports Park for healthy leisure and recreation was carried out. The final overall score of the Chengbei Sports Park was 4.1996, which belonged to the excellent level. However, there were problems with water landscape and basic service facilities. According to the evaluation results, we proposed development strategies from five aspects.
