Abstract Urban green spaces provide multiple ecosystem services to city residents and are considered an important element of socio-environmental justice. For older people, urban green spaces are important for health and well-being because they provide spaces for physical activity and social interaction. They can be regarded as spaces of encounter. Drawing on a comprehensive dataset of park visitation patterns, demographic characteristics and social network patterns, we explore older people’s urban green space visitation patterns for the case of Berlin (Germany). We found that older people who have close social networks use urban parks more often than those who are more isolated in their daily lives. Self-estimated good health also contributes to more frequent park use. We discuss these findings along the three dimensions of socio-environmental justice: distributive, interactional and procedural. Based on our findings, we develop a framework that calls for an integrated view of these three justice dimensions, which all contribute equally and inseparably to a just provision of urban ecosystem services. Most importantly, we recommend urban planning to understand the city as an integrated socio-ecological system in which the planning and design of urban green spaces focus on providing ecosystem services together with enabling the creation of social networks in order to increase socio-environmental justice.

促进老年人社会互动、健康和福祉的城市绿地——城市生态系统服务和社会环境正义的综合观点

摘要 城市绿地为城市居民提供多种生态系统服务，被认为是社会环境公平的重要组成部分。对于老年人来说，城市绿地对于健康和福祉很重要，因为它们为身体活动和社交互动提供了空间。它们可以被视为相遇的空间。利用公园访问模式、人口特征和社交网络模式的综合数据集，我们探索了以柏林（德国）为例的老年人城市绿地访问模式。我们发现，社交网络密切的老年人比日常生活中更孤立的老年人更频繁地使用城市公园。自我估计的良好健康状况也有助于更频繁地使用公园。我们沿着社会环境正义的三个维度讨论这些发现：分配、互动和程序。根据我们的研究结果，我们制定了一个框架，该框架要求对这三个正义维度进行综合考虑，所有这些维度都同样且不可分割地为城市生态系统服务的公正提供做出了贡献。最重要的是，我们建议城市规划将城市理解为一个综合的社会生态系统，其中城市绿地的规划和设计侧重于提供生态系统服务，同时促进社会网络的创建，以提高社会环境正义。所有这些都同样且不可分割地为城市生态系统服务的公正提供做出了贡献。最重要的是，我们建议城市规划将城市理解为一个综合的社会生态系统，其中城市绿地的规划和设计侧重于提供生态系统服务，同时促进社会网络的创建，以提高社会环境正义。所有这些都同样且不可分割地为城市生态系统服务的公正提供做出了贡献。最重要的是，我们建议城市规划将城市理解为一个综合的社会生态系统，其中城市绿地的规划和设计侧重于提供生态系统服务，同时促进社会网络的创建，以提高社会环境正义。
