| 要約: | This PhD thesis investigates the utilization and associated constraints of urban
river corridors in inland Chinese cities, focusing on Shijiazhuang. Recently,
local authorities have increasingly recognized the importance of the Hutuo
River Corridor and have sought to balance its ecological needs with socioeconomic
development, aiming for sustainable revitalization and effective
urban space use. However, planning and design processes often overlook
user needs and expectations, particularly the variations in usage across
different social demographics. To address these gaps, this study comprises
three components: systematic literature review, survey, and thematic and
textual analysis using social media data. The systematic review identified 59
relevant studies from 27 journals, leading to the proposal of a social-ecological
framework that emphasizes the roles of individual, social, physical, and timerelated
factors in shaping urban river corridor utilization. A survey of 620
respondents, using both on-site and online semi-structured questionnaires,
revealed that social demographics—such as gender, age, marital status,
education level, income, and residential proximity—significantly influence river
corridor usage. Key constraints identified include accessibility issues (traffic
congestion, crowding, inadequate facilities, and unavailable toilet services)
and external factors like seasonality and weather. In the era of big data, social
networks provide diverse data that facilitate investigating dynamic aspects of
human activities and environmental factors. An analysis of 3,006 comments
from Dianping revealed positive evaluations of the natural environment,
planning, design, convenience facilities, and transportation, but also
dissatisfaction with certain charged events. This study proposes a conceptual
framework that advances the understanding of urban river corridor utilization
and constraints by integrating social-ecological perspectives and employing a mixed-methods approach. The findings underscore the need for a peopleoriented
approach in urban planning by identifying user patterns and key
constraints across diverse social demographics, offering practical insights for
enhancing river corridor environments. The study provides actionable
recommendations for urban planners and decision-makers to improve the
management and design of river corridors in Shijiazhuang and similar urban
settings.
