摘要

城市绿地对公众健康的影响正受到前所未有的关注。要对城市绿地进行可持续管理,就必须了解城市生物多样性对居民健康产生积极影响的机制。城市公园可以改善公园使用者的精神恢复。本研究旨在了解巴基斯坦木尔坦城市公园的两个方面:(a) 对生物多样性和城市公园质量的认知与公园游客的心理恢复能力有何关系?(b) 受访者愿意为保护和管理城市公园的生物多样性和质量付费的决定因素是什么?数据收集于 2021 年 10 月至 2021 年 12 月,通过横断面调查从木尔坦市随机抽取的 6 个城市公园中采访了 550 名公园游客。研究采用了多元线性回归分析、二元逻辑模型和卡方检验来分析数据。生物多样性和质量与公园游客的精神恢复能力呈正相关。62%的游客不愿付费,38%的游客愿意每年支付 850 卢比/3.7 美元至 1,700 卢比/7.4 美元。教育程度、职业和月收入对受访者的 WTP 态度有明显的积极影响。这项研究强调了将城市公园作为促进精神恢复、消除社会压力和增加城市植被覆盖的工具的重要性。

Biodiversity and quality of urban green landscape affect mental restorativeness of residents in Multan, Pakistan
The influence of urban green spaces on public health is receiving unprecedented attention. Managing urban greenspaces sustainably requires an understanding of the mechanisms behind the positive effects of urban biodiversity on the wellbeing of residents. Urban parks could improve mental restoration of park users. The restoration potential may be influenced by the biophysical characteristics of the park.This study aimed to understand two aspects of urban parks in Multan, Pakistan: (a) How does the perception of biodiversity and the quality of urban parks relate to mental restorativeness of park visitors? (b) What are the determinants of respondents' willingness to pay for the conservation and management of park biodiversity and quality in urban parks? Data were collected from October 2021 to December 2021 through a cross-sectional survey in which 550 park visitors were interviewed from six randomly selected urban parks in Multan. Multiple linear regression analysis, a binary logistic model, and a chi-square test were applied to analyze the data.The study empirically highlights the positive contribution of park visits to mental restorativeness. Biodiversity and quality were positively correlated with the mental restorativeness of park visitors. Sixty-two percent (62%) of the visitors were reluctant to pay, whereas 38% were ready to pay between Rs. 850/3.7$ and Rs. 1,700/7.4$ each year. Education, occupation, and monthly income significantly positively affected the respondent's WTP attitudes. The study highlights the importance of using urban parks as tools to promote mental restorativeness, combat social stress, and increase urban vegetation cover.
