Abstract:In order to accurately and objectively understand the research status of public park, and grasp its research hotspots and development trends, based on the CiteSpace software, relying on the China National Knowledge Base (CNKI) database, a statistical analysis of the literatures on the theme of "public park" published from 1992 to 2020 is carried out. The results show that in the past 30 years, the research on public park mainly focused on three levels. The first is the planning of green space systems, disaster prevention parks and national parks. The second is the accessibility, spatial layout and optimization strategies of public park. And the third is the landscape pattern and ecological restoration strategies. Accessibility, landscape ecology, layout optimization and plant communities have been the hot topics of public park research in recent years, while park-scale accessibility, city-level indicator evaluation and perception of environmental restoration are new perspectives.
