Abstract

Recreation satisfaction has been a significant contributor to an individual's health. However, studies on the relationship between the built environment and recreation satisfaction are scarce, especially on a streetscape level, hindering the design of streets and policies that promote individual recreational experiences. Thus, starting from the walkability-related theory, the study established a novel triangle framework characterized by accessibility, suitability, and serviceability to delineate the streetscape built environment. Taking Guangzhou as a case, the study also used the structural equation model to examine the impact of the streetscape built environment on recreation satisfaction. The results show that accessibility and suitability of the built environment directly impacted recreation satisfaction, while serviceability did so indirectly, through accessibility. These findings shed light on the complexity of recreation satisfaction in urban spaces and provide urban planners with advice for a more activity-friendly street design.
