Socioeconomic inequalities in residential duration may be a reflection of uneven opportunities to develop place attachment thanks to green space availability. This article evaluates the impact of urban green space availability on residential duration, and shows that this impact varies among socioeconomic groups. We used an econometric model to study relationships between geolocalized residential quality survey data and the objective measure of spatial availability of urban green spaces in Lodz, Poland. The results indicate that the length of residential duration of the wealthier residents is not affected by the availability of nearby green space, while the length of residential duration of the less socioeconomically privileged residents is affected negatively by the availability of nearby green space. The abovementioned findings may be a signal of unequal opportunities to develop a relationship with the residents’ place of living thanks to the availability of green spaces. Interestingly, inequalities related to residential duration, and their linkages with the strength of place attachment are less explored in the literature, compared to uneven access to other environmental benefits. This study supplements the traditional perspective of environmental justice with the context of residential duration and place attachment.

居住期间的社会经济不平等可能反映了由于绿地的可用性，发展场所依恋的机会不均衡。本文评估了城市绿地可用性对居住时间的影响，并表明这种影响因社会经济群体而异。我们使用计量经济学模型研究了地理定位的住宅质量调查数据与波兰罗兹市城市绿地空间可用性的客观度量之间的关系。结果表明，较富裕居民的居住时间长度不受附近绿色空间可用性的影响，而社会经济特权较低的居民的居住时间长度受到附近绿色空间可用性的负面影响。由于绿色空间的存在，上述发现可能是与居民居住地发展关系机会不均的信号。有趣的是，与获取其他环境收益的机会不均相比，文献中很少探讨与居住时间有关的不平等及其与场所依附性的联系。这项研究以居住时间和地点依恋为背景，补充了传统的环境正义观点。与获得其他环境效益的机会不均相比。这项研究以居住时间和地点依恋为背景，补充了传统的环境正义观点。与获得其他环境效益的机会不均相比。这项研究以居住时间和地点依恋为背景，补充了传统的环境正义观点。
