ABSTRACT:
Park is one of the representatives of green spaces that have been recently given much attention as an indicator of urban quality of life. Evaluation of parks needs to be measured to guarantee the effectiveness of service. To reach the ultimate aim of public service provision, the issue of equality of service is becoming significantly important. Several criteria in urban planning for equality of service have been applied to evaluate the utilization of park. Transportation is one of the meaningful criteria since parks provide fixed services that create a tapering effect due to the distance. This study proposes a new approach to measure the equality of public park service by considering the distribution of parks on the transportation point of view using Voronoi Diagram. This concept is based on the relative opportunity for interaction with users to parks specifically relate to the ease to obtain the service. Three main indicators are developed to evaluate the appropriateness of the location of parks within the boundary of service area from Voronoi Diagram that are transportation network, public transport and pedestrian accessibility. By employing this relatively simple method, the size of park can be also incorporated to evaluate the existing of park location and recommend for the suitable location of new park. The results indicated that different location of parks ascertains different accessibility level that need for substantial improvements to maximize access of park. The new approach enables the agencies to function more effectively and to provide better levels of service to community.
