Exploring the relationship between daytime and nighttime mobility and park visitation: A case study of Austin, TX.

ABSTRACT: Urban green space disparities persist amid rapid urbanization, widening the supply-demand gap between parks and developed area. Population density is a critical determinant in estimating park visitors, defining suitable park locations, and allocating facilities for park accessibility. Conventionally, population density data were used as a foundational basis for urban green space planning decisions, often derived from sources like the US Census Bureau, primarily reflecting "nighttime residential" distribution.
