Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the spatial equity and service levels of urban parks in the context of low-carbon urban transformation.
  • Constructed an ecological supply indicator calculation model based on landscape ecology.
  • Developed a demand evaluation system focusing on human activity intensity using big data.
  • Applied the Gini coefficient and location entropy to analyze spatial equity in park supply and demand.
  • Utilized the Z-score method to classify supply-demand matching types.
  • Conducted an empirical case study in Shenzhen.
  • Shenzhen shows a Gini coefficient of 0.489, indicating notable inequities in park service provision.
  • Location entropy values reveal an east-high, west-low spatial distribution pattern.
  • High location entropy areas are found in Dapeng New District, indicating an oversupply of park resources.
  • In contrast, low location entropy areas like western Bao’an show a shortage of park services despite high demand.

Abstract

Measuring the service levels and spatial equity of urban parks constitutes a core research topic within the field of environmental justice. Against the backdrop of low-carbon urban transformation and sustainable development, this study constructs an ecological supply indicator calculation model for parks based on landscape ecology theory. Leveraging spatio-temporal big data such as Points of Interest (POI) and second-hand property transactions, it establishes a demand evaluation indicator system centered on human activity intensity. The study employs the Gini coefficient and location entropy to gauge the spatial equity of park supply–demand balance, utilizing the Z-score method to classify supply–demand matching types. An empirical case study is conducted in Shenzhen. Findings indicate that despite Shenzhen possessing abundant global-scale park resources, a Gini coefficient of 0.489 reveals significant deficiencies in the equitable provision of park services, with spatial distribution exhibiting pronounced social stratification. Specifically: (1) location entropy values exhibit an east-high, west-low spatial pattern; (2) areas with high location entropy are predominantly concentrated in Dapeng New District, rich in green space resources, where supply exceeds demand, creating an imbalance; and (3) areas with low locational entropy values are predominantly distributed in industrial clusters such as western Bao’an and western Longgang, exhibiting contradictory characteristics of low supply and high demand. Overall, the distribution of park and green space resources exhibits a polarized pattern.
