EVALUATION OF PARK ACCESSIBILITY BASED ON IMPROVED GAUSSIAN TWO-STEP FLOATING CATCHMENT AREA METHOD: A CASE STUDY OF XI’AN CITY

Evaluation of Park Accessibility Based on Improved Gaussian Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method: A Case Study of Xi’an City

Park accessibility plays a critical role in evaluating the quality of park construction.However, the conventional accessibility model ignores non-spatial factors, so it is crucial to use more complex methods for evaluating park accessibility.This study aims to establish an improved Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area method (iG2SFCA) ba
