TI  - Do Spatial Development Plans Provide Spatial Equity in Access
to Public Parks: A Case with a Residential Area in Karabağlar
and Buca (İzmir)
AB  - Public parks' location is one of the major factors shaping their
accessibility. Many natural and physical features (e.g., topography,
stream ways, street network, traffic density, road junctions, and
land uses) affect walking distances from dwellings to these loca-
tions. Also, the cost of access (measured in time and meter)
to these locations vary among age groups with different walk-
ing capacities. Spatial plans in Turkey are the documents for de-
termining and implementing the allocation of parks. However,
plan-making practices have limitations in considering the park
accessibility by walking among different groups of dwellers. This
study considers the accessibility of public parks as an issue of
spatial equity. It evaluates the park accessibility at a recent spatial
plan about a residential area in Karabağlar and Buca Districts
of İzmir. It aims to assess the allocations of planned parks and
propose potential locations for new park areas. With a point-
based approach to park accessibility, the study analysis performs
the Location-Allocation (LA) Analysis with multiple criteria at
Geographic Information Systems. The results show that at the
plan, the specified residential area has spatial inequities with park
accessibility. Among the other planned public service areas, some
locations can be re-planned as new park areas, which partially im-
proves spatial inequities at the plan. Also, the study is an example
of how to prepare and run the data for the spatial analysis of
allocations of public service areas with the help of GIS in Turkey
