| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of urban parks enjoyment and accessibility in Eslamshahr, a city with a population of more than 540000 located in 12 Km southwest from Tehran. The research method is Comprative evaluation and we use descriptive statistics indexes such as per capita and covered land ratio, and accessibility measures based on minimum distance to the nearest park, and the park access areas. Finding showed that both per capita park lands (2.2 m2) and ratio of park lands are low (2.2 m2 and 1.3% respectively). There are also large disparities in spatial distribution of parks as more than 42% of the city's area, in which more than 29.5% of the population reside in, is not within parks access areas. This is while in the southern part of the city, access area of 10 parks are overlapped. In term of accessibility, district 4th of Eslamshahr municipality in south, has a more appropriate condition, so that half of its inhabitants reside in a maximum distance of 60 m from nearest park. In contrast, district 5th has only one park and the distance between most residents and the park is high. In order to move towards environmental justice, it is necessary to allocate more land to parks and construct and develop parks, especially in the central part and in the parts with no access to existing parks. | ||
