摘要
As social and economic dynamics continue to evolve and the demand for companionship increases,pet ownership has become an increasingly popular lifestyle choice.Pet parks,as a new form of urban public space,are gaining significant attention.This study,grounded in the theory of spatial justice,employs a combination of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to evaluate four representative pet parks in Hong Kong,China.It explores how pet parks,as inclusive green infrastructure in high-density environments,contribute to urban community well-being and broader spatial justice.The study reveals the conflicts between pet owners and non-pet owners regarding the rights to use public spaces,examining how to guarantee the spatial rights of specific groups while avoiding harm to others.The findings indicate that green space availability,sociability and participation,walkability,safety,and flexibility in pet parks play a positive role in achieving urban spatial justice.However,pet parks also face challenges related to social exclusion and safety,requiring a balance between promoting community integration and ensuring public safety.This study offers valuable insights for the development of pet parks,the creation of vibrant and diverse public spaces,and the promotion of harmonious human-animal environments in cities across China and other Asian countries.
随着社会经济的不断变化及人们陪伴需求的增加,宠物饲养已成为一种日益普及的生活方式。作为城市公共空间的一种新型形式,宠物公园正受到越来越多的关注。本研究以空间正义理论为基础,通过问卷调查和半结构化访谈相结合的方法,评估了中国香港的四个代表性宠物公园,并探讨了在高密度环境下,宠物公园作为包容性绿色基础设施,如何促进城市社区福祉并为更广泛的空间正义作出贡献。研究揭示了宠物饲养者与非饲养者在公共空间使用权方面的博弈,探讨了如何在保障特定群体空间权利的同时,避免损害其他群体的利益。研究结果表明,宠物公园良好的绿地可用性、社交与参与、可步行性、安全性和灵活性对实现城市空间正义具有积极作用。然而,宠物公园也面临社会排斥和安全问题的挑战,需要在促进社区融合和保障公共安全之间找到平衡。本研究可为中国及其他亚洲城市在宠物公园建设、创造多元活力公共空间及促进人宠和谐环境方面提供科学支持。
