- ItemComparing green spaces provision and accessibility indicators over a latitudinal gradient and multiple climate zones(ELSEVIER GMBH, 2023) De la Barrera, Francisco; Reyes Paecke, Sonia; Truffello, Ricardo; De la Fuente, Helen E.; Salinas, Valentina; Villegas, Rodrigo A.; Steiniger, Stefan; CEDEUS (Chile)Monitoring urban green space (UGS) indicators is key to assessing progress against the UNs sustainable devel-opment goals (SDGs). Within these indicators, measuring the provision of UGS as well as its accessibility is considered a major objective. However, neither the relationship between the two indicators, nor differences related to different types of UGS have been adequately evaluated. In this paper, these two indicators are calculated and analyzed for four size-based types of UGS and for 69 municipalities, which are part of the 16 regional capital cities of Chile. For the provision indicator, the average calculated over all municipalities does not reach the often proposed standard of 11 sq.m/inhab., but only 5.29 sq.m/inhab. Regarding the accessibility indicator, when a walking speed of 4 km/h is considered, the smaller residential green spaces have the highest accessibility (65 % of the population have access), but accessibility for larger GS is low. When a walking speed of 2 km/h is assumed, then accessibility drops to 29 %, 5 %, 5 % and 5 % respectively. We found that calculation results for the four types of UGS are statistically different, and therefore one type cannot replace another in case of monitoring: Higher UGS provision does not guarantee higher accessibility.

- ItemEvaluating public green spaces for the quality of life in cities by integrating RS mapping tools and social science techniques(IEEE, 2017) Banzhaf, Ellen; De la Barrera, FranciscoUrban green spaces are essential for the well-being of citizens. We developed a mixed method approach by (1) exploiting RS data to estimate amount and distribution of vegetation cover and (2) conducting a social survey to add in-depth knowledge on accessibility and perception of green spaces. The study area are three municipalities of Santiago de Chile characterized by different household incomes. Existing indicators, such as the amount of green spaces per inhabitant, do not provide enough information for effective decision-making. Our aim was to develop tools to improve planning of location and quality of green spaces in complex urban areas. We apply a set of indicators to disclose existing inequalities. In addition, our in-situ observation on the usage of green spaces and conducted interviews helped to reflect the perception of green spaces by residents.
