"Loneliness has been linked to an array of physical and mental health problems. It consists of two\r\ndimensions: social and emotional loneliness, which refer to lack of social network and lack of close\r\nrelationship respectively. There are various factors contributing to loneliness; this research focuses\r\non the factor urban green space, in terms of size, function and accessibility. Various studies have\r\nfound that green space impacts loneliness, but there is no research on whether and how this impact\r\ndiffers for social and emotional loneliness. This thesis addresses this knowledge gap by answering the\r\nfollowing research question: “How does the accessibility of green space impact social and emotional\r\nloneliness in the Dutch urban context?”. This is done by a combination of GIS and statistical analyses.\r\nThis thesis uses two separate indicators: the percentage of neighbourhood area that consists of\r\ngreen space, and an indicator based on a distance decay function. The analyses are repeated\r\nconsidering only green spaces of certain sizes and functions. The indicators are assessed using\r\nPearson’s correlation test and a multiple linear regression that accounts for a range of built\r\nenvironment and sociodemographic factors, and compared using Dunn & Clark’s z-test. Results\r\nindicated that, although access to urban green space is correlated with both social and emotional\r\nloneliness, there is no significant effect on social loneliness once other factors are controlled for. For\r\nemotional loneliness, the evidence is mixed, with green space that has a function other than sport,\r\nplay or nature having a significant effect. Size was not found to be a relevant factor. Overall, the\r\nimpact of urban green space access on social and emotional loneliness is found to be limited. Hence,\r\nfuture research should focus less on the links between these factors, and more on how to\r\nincorporate broader health objectives into spatial planning processes."^^ . "2023" . . . . . . .
