Abstract: In line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals initiatives across the globe aim to improve access to urban parks. It remains, however, a challenge to accurately measure the spatial accessibility of urban parks. Traditional measurements often fail to match residents’ perceptions of accessibility, highlighting a gap between objective measurements and subjective experiences. This study explored the Spatial Modelling Accessibility (SMA) results of parks derived from various approaches, while also examining the differences with Population Perceived Accessibility (PPA).
