Abstract

The provision of urban green space is spatially uneven, which has brought challenges in shaping the inequalities of people’s subjective well-being in the developing world. Using panel data of 37 typical cities in China from 2012 to 2017, this study analyzes links of urban green space and environmental satisfaction from urban residents. We divide effects of urban green space into direct parts including scale, coverage rate and accessibility of urban green space, and indirect parts including environmental and economic performance of urban green space, measured by the bootstrap-DEA model. The geographically and temporally weighted regression model is applied to evaluate links. We find that increasing accessibility of urban green space can significantly improve environmental satisfaction, and the economic performance of urban green space is significantly negative with environmental satisfaction. The results also show scale, coverage rate and environmental performance of urban green space insignificantly associated with environmental satisfaction. Additional results show the spatial and temporarily varying about the urban green space–environmental satisfaction relationship over time and space. This study provides empirical evidence for further optimizing the allocation of urban green space.
