摘要:

随着美丽中国、健康中国等战略的提出,城市绿色空间对于居民健康的重要作用日益凸显。然而,现有研究较少运用自然实验的方法探讨城市绿色空间与居民心理健康的关系。论文以中国最大的城中湖绿道——武汉东湖绿道为例,基于2016、2019年东湖绿道周边52个居住小区的1020份跟踪问卷调查数据,运用准自然实验方法与混合效应双重差分模型,探索城市绿色空间干预对周边小区居民心理健康的影响。研究发现,东湖绿道的建设显著促进了周边2 km范围小区居民心理健康水平的提升。控制变量中,居民心理健康水平与年龄呈正相关关系,与家庭收入水平则呈负相关关系;居民心理健康水平与小区的社会凝聚力、小区周边500 m范围的建筑密度、居住用地比例和地铁站密度呈正相关关系,与公交站密度则呈负相关关系。建议通过完善以绿道为核心的城市绿色空间网络,提高绿道可达性与邻里社会凝聚力,以此提升城市居民的心理健康水平。

Abstract:

:A large number of studies has shown that there is a positive correlation between urban greenspace and residents' mental health. Urban greenspace is of great significance for improving mental health. However, existing studies mainly use cross-sectional mental health data, and cannot carry out causal analysis of mental health effects of greenspace. In addition, few studies control for the impact of community environment on mental health. Therefore, using a quasi-natural experiment and mixed-effect difference-in-differences model, this study explored the impact of urban greenspace intervention on residents' mental health by taking the East Lake Greenway in Wuhan City as an example. The results show that before and after the East Lake Greenway intervention, the mental health status of the residents in the experimental group increased significantly while the control group did not experience significant change. After controlling for the individual and community environments and other factors affecting mental health, the result indicates that the greenway intervention does promote the mental health of the surrounding residents. Finally, to effectively promote the development of mental health of urban residents, this article proposed that urban planners should build an integrated greenspace network to increase the accessibility of greenspace, optimize public transportation, and improve the social cohesion of communities.
