This study examines how park use may be associated with perceived park proximity, neighborhood-built environment and perceived social disorder in Latin American cities. The study uses self-reported data from the 2016 CAF survey, including 7,970 urban residents from 11 cities across Latin America. Results show positive graded associations between perceived park proximity and use, holding all others constant. Additional factors that were found to be associated with park use are neighborhood formality and related built-environment characteristics, including paved streets and sidewalks. Park use was mostly unrelated to perceived social disorder, with the exception of indigence, with which it is was positively associated. Stronger associations between park proximity and use were observed among those who reported higher prevalence of indigence or begging in their household block. These findings stress the importance of perceived park proximity in enhancing their use in urban Latin America, and challenge the role of social disorder and crime as a barrier for park use.
本研究探讨了在拉丁美洲城市中，公园使用情况如何与感知到的公园距离、邻里建成环境以及感知到的社会失序相关联。该研究使用了2016年CAF调查中的自我报告数据，包括来自拉丁美洲11个城市的7970名城市居民。结果表明，在其他因素保持不变的情况下，感知到的公园距离与公园使用之间存在正梯度关联。发现与公园使用相关的其他因素包括邻里的正式程度以及相关的建成环境特征，如铺设的街道和人行道。公园使用大多与感知到的社会失序无关，但与贫困状况呈正相关。在报告其家庭所在街区贫困或乞讨发生率较高的人群中，观察到公园距离与使用之间的关联更强。这些发现强调了感知到的公园距离对于增加拉丁美洲城市公园使用的重要性，并对社会失序和犯罪作为公园使用障碍的作用提出了挑战。
