Abstract

Objective: Urban parks are part of public infrastructure which has useful functions for city environment, such as improvement of air quality, exercise recreational activity, emotional stability of citizens and improvement in quality of urban life. But existing conflicts and inequality of distribution of such functions are among most important and basic challenges in the field of urban space equity. The aim of this research is to analyze the spatial division of Bonab city parks, with the approach of space equity..
Methods: The type of research is operational and considering the nature of the subject, the research method is analytical-expository. The data assessment process is a combination of documentary and survey; so that the composition of abstract frame and extraction of index, a revision on former researches and data of “Statistical Center of Iran” was made. Also to adjust the data and index used in the research with the existing facts the survey method was used..
Results:To process the data the average index of the nearest neighbor and the web analysis of a combination of spatial GIS abilities was utilized. The results showed clustered spatial distribution of parks, which means a well-designed park allocation in central and north-eastern parts of the city and not a suitable distribution in other parts of the city. In addition, the allocation was agreeable to the population density of different parts of the city, but the distribution in suburban parts is not at all ideal.
Conclusion So the space equity is not considered and regarded in city of Bonab.
