城市绿色资源是否在不同社会群体之间得到公平分配是政府和学者关注的社会公平和环境正义问题。这一主题对中国等不平等现象日益严重的快速发展中国家尤其重要。本文探讨了中国城市公园服务的分配是否以及在多大程度上对边缘化人群是公平的。本文选取上海市为研究对象，从人口特征、社会经济地位和社会空间结构三个维度对城市居民进行群体划分。我们采用空间聚类的方法来评估的相似性和不同的社会群体之间的城市公园的可达性的空间格局之间的关联的差异。有趣的是，我们发现弱势群体比富裕公民更受青睐。地方政府的努力确保了上海公园的社会公平性。此外，我们将其归因于中国社会主义遗产在市场化改革之前的路径依赖。
The question whether urban green resources are equitably distributed across different social groups is a major concern of social equity and environmental justice for both governments and scholars. This topic is particularly relevant for rapidly developing countries such as China where inequality is growing. This paper examines whether and to what extent the distribution of urban park services is equitable for marginalised population in China. We choose Shanghai as the case study and took into account three dimensions of group delineation, namely demographic characteristics, social economic status and social spatial structure. We employ the spatial clustering method to assess the similarities and differences of the association between the spatial patterns of accessibility to urban parks among different social groups. Interestingly, we found that vulnerable groups are favoured over more affluent citizens. Local municipal endeavours have ensured that the access to Shanghai’s parks remains socially equitable. Additionally, we attributed it to the path dependence of China’s socialism legacy before the market-oriented reforms.
