Progress on Urban Recreational Green Space Access Based on Bibliometric Analysis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study systematically reviews the international research progress on urban recreational green space access from 2015 to 2024 based on bibliometric analysis. Through retrieval from the Web of Science database and visualization analysis using CiteSpace tools, the study finds that the number of literature in this field has generally increased over the decade, reaching a research peak in 2021. The degree of cooperation among major research institutions is relatively low, but there are core institutions with high frequency and centrality that drive research progress. Research hotspots focus on the interdisciplinary linkage between urban green spaces and health promotion, the provision of ecosystem services by green infrastructure, the social-spatial differentiation and governance of urban greening, and the behavioral response mechanisms of emotion-environment interaction. Accessibility serves as a key influencing factor, closely related to the fairness of green space resource allocation and residents' health levels. Furthermore, research is deepening from correlation analysis to causal mechanisms and intervention scheme design, exhibiting interdisciplinary expansion and technology-driven trends. This study provides a scientific basis and reference for urban green space planning, policy formulation, and future research directions.
