This study investigates the relationship between subjective greenspace perception and objective greenspace accessibility as well as the significant factors associated with higher real greenspace usage based on survey data collected in Hong Kong. The results reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between subjective greenspace perception and objective greenspace accessibility. In terms of the factors contributing to higher real greenspace usage, we found that males tend to utilize greenspaces more frequently than females, while older individuals exhibit a higher frequency of engagement with greenspaces compared to younger individuals. Subjective greenspace perception emerged as a significant predictor of greenspace usage patterns, indicating the importance of creating attractive, safe, and inclusive greenspaces. However, objective greenspace accessibility did not have a significant correlation with actual greenspace usage, highlighting the importance of perceptions in affecting individual decisions on greenspace usage. These findings provide valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers in creating gender-inclusive and age-friendly greenspaces that meet the diverse needs and preferences of the population, ultimately contributing to the well-being and quality of life in Hong Kong and beyond.
