Associations between the perceived value of community parks and subjective well-being: a case study in the old town of Nanjing, China

This study proposes an explanatory model that elucidates how perceived value impacts subjective well-being, while also highlighting differences between the older and younger groups. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing perceived value and fostering a sense of belonging, while also meeting the specific needs of older adults to maximize the psychological benefits of community parks. Future research should incorporate additional mediating and moderating variables, and conduct comparative analyses across different regions and cultural contexts.
