城市水道是否是便利设施，如果是的话，在家庭使用方面是否存在不平等？虽然城市水道代表了城市环境中接近自然的潜在场所，但很少有关于可达性和与水特征的相互作用的研究，特别是我们所说的“蓝色空间”。“这项研究借鉴了北方犹他州的家庭样本，这些家庭居住在附近有河流或运河的社区，以询问当地的水道是否对家庭产生积极影响，以及靠近水道是否会增加家庭在水道上花费时间并熟悉水道的可能性。我们使用多元回归来证明社会结构和可达性特征塑造了熟悉和使用的模式，并介导了蓝色空间特征对家庭的影响。我们发现的证据支持这样一种观点，即城市水道是社区生活质量的积极设施。我们还发现，一个家庭住得离蓝色空间越远，他们就越不可能意识到或使用这些便利设施。令人惊讶的是，我们还发现，虽然高社会经济地位（SES）和白色受访者一般住得离城市水道的接入点更远，但他们报告的熟悉程度更高，并且比低SES和非白色西班牙裔家庭更有可能花时间在这些地方。结果表明，未来的研究和社区参与有关的城市蓝色空间应注意如何社会结构和建筑环境的特点调解访问这些设施。
Are urban waterways amenities, and if so, are there inequities in household access? While urban waterways represent a potential site for access to nature within the urban environment, there have been few studies on the accessibility and interactions with water features in particular, what we refer to as "blue spaces." This study drew on a sample of households in Northern Utah living in neighborhoods with a nearby river or canal to ask if local waterways provide positive impacts to households and if proximity to them increased the likelihood of households spending time at them and being familiar with them. We used multivariate regression to demonstrate that socio-structural and accessibility characteristics shape patterns of familiarity and use, and mediate the impacts of blue space characteristics on households. We found evidence supporting the idea that urban waterways are positive amenities for neighborhood quality of life. We also found that the farther away a household lived from the blue space, the less likely they were to be aware of or use the amenity. Surprisingly, we also found that while high socio-economic status (SES) and white respondents generally lived further from points of access to urban waterways, they reported higher familiarity and were more likely to spend time at them than lower SES and nonwhite Hispanic households. Results suggest that future research and community engagement related to urban blue spaces should be attentive to how social structure and the characteristics of the built environment mediate access to these amenities.
