Parks have become important spaces for supplying cultural ecosystem services (CESs) in cities, and satisfying various needs of different age groups in parks has become a critical issue. Many studies focused on the environmental preferences and behaviours of different age groups in parks. However, results revealing the differences in value demand and acquisition between elderly and youth from a landscape spatial environmental perspective are limited. In this study, the same number of youth and elderly volunteers were recruited, according to the value-labelled photo fed back after their self-driven tour in the Huanhuaxi Urban Forest Park in Chengdu, China. In addition, this study explored the relationship between the perceived CES needs of the youth and elderly and the landscape spatial environment in the urban park ecosystem with the help of the Social Values for Ecosystem Services model. Results showed that, in comparison, to obtain recreation value, playgrounds, pavilions and squares were more important for the elderly, whereas topography, rivers, landscape sketches and trails were more important for the youth. Moreover, in terms of the sense of place, lakes and wetlands were more important for the elderly, whereas landscape sketches and playgrounds were more important for the youth. Furthermore, for the delivery of therapeutic value, squares were more important for the elderly. Spatially, the areas of lakes or wetlands with geographical combinations of landscape sketches and flowers were the high-value spots for supplying multiple CESs in urban parks. Then, squares, rivers, playgrounds and forests were the focus areas where the value identification of the two age groups diverges. This study emphasises the differences in demand and acquisition of cultural added value provided by the environment between the young and the old. The study provides a basis for more targeted land management and landscape planning of urban parks.
公园已成为城市提供文化生态系统服务（CESs）的重要空间，满足不同年龄段人群在公园中的各种需求已成为一个关键问题。许多研究都集中在公园中不同年龄段人群的环境偏好和行为上。然而，从景观空间环境角度揭示老年人和年轻人在价值需求和获取方面差异的研究结果有限。在这项研究中，根据在中国成都浣花溪城市森林公园进行自主游览后志愿者反馈的有价值照片，招募了相同数量的青年和老年志愿者。此外，本研究借助社会生态系统服务价值模型，探讨了城市公园生态系统中青年人及老年人对感知 CES 的需求与景观空间环境之间的关系。结果表明，相比之下，为了获得娱乐价值，对老年人而言，游乐场、亭台楼阁和广场更为重要，而对于年轻人来说，地形、河流、景观素描和小径更为重要。此外，就场所感而言，湖泊和湿地对老年人更为重要，而景观素描和游乐场对年轻人更为重要。此外，对于提供治疗价值而言，广场对老年人更为重要。在空间上，具有景观素描和花卉地理组合的湖泊或湿地区域是提供城市公园多种 CES 的高价值点。然后，广场、河流、游乐场和森林是两个年龄组价值识别存在差异的重点区域。本研究强调了年轻人和老年人对环境提供的文化附加值的需求和获取方面的差异。该研究为城市公园的更有针对性的土地管理和景观规划提供了依据。
