“…The concept of the Living Cycle was first introduced in Japan in 1965 to rationalize infrastructure and public service facilities (Jun, 2004). As far as spatial patterning is concerned, the Living Circle considered industry, greenery, and transportation, focusing on rail, bus, bicycle, and walking as a framework (Fan and Cheng, 2022;Chen, 2011). In the early 1990s, China pulled in the concept of the Living Circle (Cheng, 2018).…”

Urban parkland, as a critical component of urban green space, reflects the distribution of public resources. Combined with the concept of the 15-min Living Circle, this paper comprehensively evaluated the equity of urban parkland in the Central Area of Zhengzhou from a process-outcome perspective and established an evaluation method for assessing the equity of parkland in high-density urban areas. The objective of this approach is to provide a systematic and applicable evaluation method for metropolises that is more comprehensive than traditional evaluation methods, which rely solely on accessibility. In terms of process equity, spatial equity values were calculated using the Three Step Catchment Area Method (3SFCA) with walking and bicycle travel models. For outcome equity, Zone Entropy was utilized with demographic characteristics. The results illustrated that the overall accessibility and equity of urban parkland layout in the Central Area of Zhengzhou were inferior, with an extensive number of blind service areas and serious polarization. The Zone Entropy varied considerably among streets, which indicated significant differences in the allocation of parkland and population. Further analysis illustrated that economic factors, such as house prices, were not significantly relevant to parkland equity. Instead, geographic factors such as location and intensity of development had a remarkable impact on parkland equity. Although urban parkland layout has been prone to the elderly, the total number of park spaces is still insufficient. In the long run, the construction of the 15-min Living Circle still needs to be vigorously promoted in the research area.
