“…Yi and Horton [13] proposed that China has abundant open green spaces and residential parks whose potential value for fitness and sports has not been fully explored, and that effective integration of the quantity and quality of garden green belts, residential green spaces, and sports fields can promote the future level of utilization of green space resources in China. In addition, other scholars have studied public fitness venues from the perspectives of their social attributes [14], spatial distribution [15,16], and accessibility [17]. By studying the spatial distribution of gymnasiums in Germany, Wu et al [18] found that the main factor affecting residents' satisfaction with fitness venues is accessibility, followed by conditions such as fresh air and clean environment.…”

In the context of healthy China, the study of the spatial distribution characteristics of urban sports venues is not only beneficial to planning the construction of sports venues in cities, but also to the health protection of urban residents. Therefore, to promote a fair and scientific approach to constructing public fitness sites in the city and meet the needs of urban residents’ fitness activities, this study targeted public fitness sites larger than 10 m2 in the main urban area of Jinan City to study spatial distribution characteristics and accessibility. We combine the traffic road network and other data and use spatial and buffer zone analyses to assess the sites from the perspective of different travel modes of urban residents. The results show that the public fitness venues in the main urban area are mainly concentrated centrally; there is no significant pattern between the construction of venue area and population. For the time range of 0–15 min, Lixia District has the highest ratio of public fitness venue service area for walking, cycling, and car travel, with 22.54%, 62.25%, and 100%, respectively, and Changqing District has the lowest. In terms of travel mode, the highest service area ratio is 62.7% for car travel, followed by 28.7% for cycling, and 7.7% for walking. It is concluded that the construction of public fitness venues in Jinan has an unbalanced layout, does not fully consider the population factor, and different modes of travel have a significant impact on accessibility. It is therefore suggested that the government should increase public fitness venue construction in the areas surrounding the main city; moreover, future planning of urban public fitness venues should fully consider the distribution characteristics of population quantity and age in each area. Finally, the main travel mode characteristics of urban residents should also be considered to promote the future scientific development of urban public fitness venue construction.

“…The authors tried to use dialectical, statistical, mathematical, grouping, comparative and systematic analysis, induction and deduction, logical coherence and other scientific approaches and methods in studying and analyzing the problem (Asefi & Nosrati, 2020;Elmose-Osterlund & Iversen, 2020). In addition, were developed indicators such as Weekly load rate of sports facilities, Weekly capacity recalculated by rhythm coefficient to study the problem in more depth (Heredia, 2020;Szczepaniak, 2020;Waters, 1996).…”

“…Currently, academic research on the spatial layout of sports and fitness venues mainly includes four categories. First, the service scope [ 7 ], spatial pattern [ 8 ], spatial evolution [ 9 ], and influencing factors [ 10 ] of different types of sports and fitness venues were explored at different scales by using spatial analysis methods. Some studies have revealed that population characteristics, government policies, the characteristics of the leisure industry, transportation accessibility, and participants’ interests can affect the planning of urban sports facilities [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

The study of the spatial-temporal pattern and social performance of urban public services is a basic task for achieving urban fairness and justice. Through spatial analysis and social performance evaluation, this study explores the evolution of spatial-temporal patterns and the social performance of community sports and fitness venues in Shanghai from 1982 to 2019. The results show that the construction of Shanghai’s community sports and fitness venues presents the evolution pattern of “urbanization-suburbanization-reurbanization”. The center of construction has always been in the urban area and first moved toward the south and then toward the north. Government investment was the main source of funds for the construction of venues, and social investment has been steadily growing. The number and area of multiple types of venues has increased significantly, including trails, gymnasiums, and courts. The overall service coverage radius of Shanghai’s community sports and fitness venues has been significantly increased, and the regional equality between the core and peripheral areas has been obviously improved. The overall per capita service location entropy has not been significantly improved. The old city center and the peripheral area have always been the low-value areas, and the old city center is surrounded by high-value areas. The “low-high-low” three-circle spatial structure continues to exist, but around the old city center, the scope of the high-value area has expanded markedly. There was a significant optimization of social performance from 1999 to 2009. The social performance of the community sports and fitness venues in urban areas is better than that in suburban areas, but the optimization of social performance in suburban areas is greater than that in urban areas. The above analysis is expected to provide references for rationally arranging urban sports and fitness spaces, enhancing the fairness of urban public services, improving the quality of residents’ lives, and assisting the implementation of the “Healthy China” national strategy.
