Abstract
Recently, cross-city recreation has received a considerable amount of attention to meet the challenges of today’s rapid urbanization, the limited green space in cities, and the increasing demand for urban residents to interact with natural environments. We use China’s Capital Economic Circle as a case study to examine the influence of cross-city recreation on park green space accessibility. Using a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and an Multi-mode two-step floating catchment area (M2SFCA) model, different travel modes across the space were explored. The results show the following: (1) The landscape of multi-scale Park green space (PGS) accessibility in the study area exhibits a gradual decrease in accessibility from the core area to the periphery. (2) Cross-city recreation changes the spatial distribution of accessibility, with the emergence of hotspots having the greatest impact on PGS accessibility at the scale of 50–100 ha and above. (3) At the urban scale, the multi-scale PGS of peripheral urban areas is higher than central urban areas, and affected by cross-city recreation, this feature is more significant in urban core areas. Our research helps urban planners to develop effective regional environmental planning policies for the green development of urban agglomerations.
