SUPPLY AND DEMAND EVALUATION OF URBAN RECREATIONAL GREEN SPACES IN ZHAOQING CITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND BALANCE

Urban recreational green spaces, as an important component of the urban ecosystem, are of significant value to study. This paper delves into the supply and demand conditions of urban recreational green spaces in Zhaoqing City. The study reveals that there are significant differences in the demand and satisfaction levels of recreational green spaces among different social groups. Moreover, the supply and demand conditions of urban recreational green spaces in Zhaoqing City exhibit a pronounced differentiation in spatial distribution, with the northern and southeastern areas being high-supply hotspots, while some regions experience insufficient supply. This imbalance between supply and demand, along with the spatial differentiation, not only exacerbates the unfairness in the allocation of green space resources but also affects the quality of life and happiness of urban residents. The findings of this study can provide practical references for the future optimization of urban recreational green space planning in Zhaoqing City, strengthening resource integration, and ensuring the equitable distribution of green space resources, with the aim of achieving a balance between supply and demand and sustainable development.
