Abstract

The paper analysed the impact of accessibility of urban parks within the third ring on housing prices of Fuzhou through network analysis and SPSS correlation analysis based on data of sources like remote-sensing image, web crawling and urban road network, discovering that: (1)The density of residence within the third ring of Fuzhou decreases from the centre to the edges; (2) The housing price, ranging between 18000 and 28000 RMB/ m2, peaks in the city centre; (3) For houses within the third ring of Fuzhou, Gulou District enjoys the greatest access to urban parks while Cangshan District is the poorest in this regard. (4) The residence within the third ring of Fuzhou could be rated as A or A- in terms of access to urban parks, with an overall excellence performance; (5) The walking distance to the parks is significantly correlated with the housing price. The shorter the distance, the higher the price. Regarding this, the paper proposed the following suggestions: (1) Revise the routes to Gaogai Mountain Park by increasing entrances and exists to improve its accessibility; (2) Improve the transportation network and increase footpaths to the park, thus shortening the distance between the park and the surrounding residences.
