The use flexibility of pocket parks is one of the essential factors that determine their service compatibility, efficiency, and attraction for park users in densely populated cities. To examine the factors that affect the use flexibility of pocket parks, we collected data on the periodic use of 74 pocket parks through a field survey in Nanjing and adopted the Shannon Wiener diversity index to quantitatively measure this variable. After using a multiple regression model series, we examined the internal and surrounding factors that affect the use flexibility of pocket parks on weekdays and weekends, respectively, and compared them with those that affect the use intensity of pocket parks. The results showed that paved ground and the mixed use of surrounding land promoted both use flexibility and intensity of pocket parks. Boundary buildings and surrounding residents only promoted their use flexibility, while tree canopies and exercising facilities only promoted the use intensity of pocket parks. A significant correlation (p < 0.05) was also found between the use flexibility and intensity on weekdays. These findings can contribute to future decisions regarding pocket park planning and design in Nanjing and similar cities. |
