Abstract


The conversion of the health benefits of the greenway space needs to be completed by residents’use, and different environmental composition characteristics will directly affect the user’s use intensity. Based on the perspective of health needs, taking the greenway area of Jiulongpo District, Chongqing City as the research object, based on existing research and field investigation, quantitative analysis and evaluation of the environmental characteristics of the greenway and the intensity of residents’use are carried out. The research results show that: 1) The environmental characteristic factors that affect the attractiveness of the greenway mainly include environmental coordination, suitable sites, recreational facilities, and unobstructed walking; 2) There are significant differences in the frequency and duration of use of different environmental elements in the greenway for the interviewees. There is a positive correlation between the frequency of use of greenways by unobstructed walking, landscape art, safety protection, suitable venues, and recreational facilities, and there is a positive correlation between landscape art, environmental coordination, suitable venues, and recreational facilities and the length of single use. In order to build a greenway environment that promotes healthy behavior activities, space optimization suggestions are put forward from four aspects: accessibility, landscape features, activity venues and recreational facilities, and safety protection.
