Leave no one behind: A case of ecosystem service supply equity in Singapore.

ABSTRACT: Urban populations benefit greatly from the ecosystem services provided by urban green and blue spaces. While the equity of provision of and access to urban green and blue spaces has been widely explored, research on equity of ecosystem service provision is relatively scant.

We employed linear mixed-effects models and Hot Spot Analysis to analyze their distributional equity across individual households of various demographic characteristics (horizontal inequality), and calculated Gini coefficient for the distribution of PM₁₀ removal service among households categorised into demographic subgroups (vertical inequality). Our results show little evidence of inequ
