Equitable access to green spaces is essential in cities, especially those with complex socio-economic challenges. This study considers how socio-economic characteristics influence traditional park access measures, using a geographically weighted regression (GWR) to analyse park access equity in Johannesburg. The use of a spatially sensitive statistical approach enables a more nuanced analysis of equity than previous studies have permitted in Johannesburg, thus empowering better park access planning. The method considers the number of parks and distance to the nearest park as important access measures. The study shows a complex relationship between different interpretations of park access relative to various socio-economic considerations, such as population density, unemployment rates and education levels, and that inequity in access to park space according to these measures varies across the city. The findings offer an opportunity for an improved understanding of local environmental justice and could potentially inform more equitable park planning and management policies in cities.

在城市，尤其是那些面临复杂社会经济挑战的城市，公平使用绿色空间至关重要。本研究考虑了社会经济特征如何影响传统的公园准入措施，使用地理加权回归 (GWR) 分析约翰内斯堡的公园准入公平性。与之前在约翰内斯堡的研究相比，使用空间敏感的统计方法可以对公平进行更细致的分析，从而实现更好的公园通道规划。该方法将公园的数量和到最近公园的距离作为重要的访问措施。该研究显示了对公园使用权的不同解释与各种社会经济因素（例如人口密度、失业率和教育水平）之间的复杂关系，并且根据这些措施，在使用公园空间方面的不公平现象在整个城市各不相同。这些发现为更好地理解当地环境正义提供了机会，并可能为城市中更公平的公园规划和管理政策提供信息。
