The spatial divergence of park visits of Guangzhou residents and its influencing factors based on mobile phone signaling data
Constructing more urban parks facilitates the achievement of harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature. Most existing studies about residents' park-visiting behavior are based on questionnaire survey data and interview data to analyse the characteristics of spatial differentiation
limiting the universality and scientificity of the conclusions. Mobile phone signaling data offers advantages such as large samples
wide-coverage
passive information provision
and strong real-time dynamics. Utilizing mobile phone signaling data to identify urban residents' park visits accurately can assist in the optimization of urban park layout and quality improvement. Based on individual-scale mobile phone signaling data
this study aims to reveal the spatial differentiation of park visits of Guangzhou residents and identify influencing factors
particularly focusing on the differences between urban and suburban residents. The results show that: 1) the frequency
duration
and intensity of park-visiting of urban residents are higher than those of suburban residents
and the average park-visiting distance of the former is shorter than that of the latter; 2) the frequency
intensity
and duration of park-visiting and average park-visiting distance show the spatial characteristics of high- / low-value accumulation of an extensive distribution in urban areas and sporadic distribution in the suburbs; 3) park-visiting behaviour is jointly influenced by gender
age
temporal and spatial constraints
socio-economic status
park accessibility
community travel convenience
and travel appropriateness. This study provides decision-making reference for relevant government departments to effectively carry out the planning
