Abstract

(1) Background: The issue of equity in the layout of urban green park spaces is an essential dimension of urban public resource allocation. (2) Objective: To analyze the equity of the distribution of parkland in the core area of Beijing from a quantitative and spatial perspective. By measuring both vehicular and pedestrian transport modes, the study identifies areas with low levels of green space provision and provides strategies for optimization. It is hoped that this study can provide a basis for future green space construction in the core area of Beijing. (3) Methods: In this paper, the Gauss Two-step Floating Catchment Area Method (Ga2SFCA) is used to study the green park space layout in the core area of Beijing. The two modes of 30min-walk and 10min-car-journey were used to measure the fair values of the residential unit scale, the street district scale, and the overall scale, respectively. (4) Results: The study results show that the fair values based on the 30-min walk and the 10-min car journey differ significantly. For the 30-min walk-based travel mode, the proportion of fair (Class IV) and fairer (Class V) areas is approximately 20%, while for the 10 min car-based travel mode, the corresponding class is over 90%. (5) Conclusions: The overall equity of urban parkland in Beijing core area is better for car-based travel modes, while for walking modes, the supply is still insufficient, and the distribution of parkland is polarized.
