Abstract

【Objective】An analysis of the characteristics and influencing factors of urban park recreational vitality can provide a basis for enhancing the benefits of city parks.【Method】Utilizing a multi-source dataset that includes real-time user dataset (RTUD), internet map travel data, and the seventh census data, this study employs the optimal parameters-based geographical detector (OPGD) and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) methods to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and influencing factors of recreational vitality in the Jiangnan Main City (Nanjing).【Result】(1) Spatially, the recreational vitality of parks exhibits a pattern of high central intensity with lower edges. (2) Temporally, scenic parks demonstrate higher recreational vitality on rest days, with more regular changes compared to workdays. (3) Overall, the interaction of dual factors provides a higher explanatory power for recreational vitality than single factors, with public transportation facilities being the dominant influencing factor on workdays, and park entertainment facilities on rest days. (4) The main influencing factors of park recreational vitality show spatial heterogeneity, generally characterized by central-peripheral and south-north differences.【Conclusion】Based on these findings, urban park planning should optimize temporal-spatial management, enhance transportation connectivity, provide tailored facilities for different park scales, and integrate multi-factor interactions.
