Results
Self-reported well-being People living closer to parks and small POS (<1ha) are more likely to report less anxiety than people living farther away. This relationship is not detectable for very small POS (<0.1ha) or other types. Usage People living farther from official POS tend to use them less often and instead use alternatives such as plazas, podium gardens, waterfront promenades and private and unofficial open spaces. Proximity appears to be the more important factor for usage rather than the local amount. Satisfaction People living closer to official POS are more likely to express lower satisfaction with their local community spaces. There are several possible explanations, but more research is needed.
