ABSTRACT
Uneven green space distribution may lead to environmental injustice. This study includes
three Chinese towns to explore quantitative method of uniform distribution of urban green space in
combination with Gini Coefficient theory. Three quantitative indices have been used to analyze green
space planning distribution pattern. The indices reveal horizontal and vertical distribution patterns of
green space in these three towns. Distribution pattern of green space composite structure of Hezhuang
town is very uneven, distribution pattern of the green space composite structure of Xuedian town
is reasonably even, and distribution pattern of the green space composite structure of Lihe town is
absolutely even. Based on a contrastive analysis, four conclusions and one recommendation have been
drawn. This paper improves the understanding of factors influencing the distribution patterns of town
green spaces by providing a basis for judgment of urban environmental equity and a reference for more
equitable green space planning.
