Dataset for "Redefining Accessibility: Uncovering Cultural, Social, and Economic Barriers to Urban Green Space Accessibility"

The files are data collected as part of a study on accessibility to green spaces in Bristol. The first file is over 240 participant responses to a survey on urban green space (UGS) use in Bristol. It includes information on the nature of UGS use, the frequency of use along with other details, in addition to non-identifying demographic data.

The second is focus group data, the focus groups were aimed at marginalised groups, especially ethnic minorities. The participants of four focus groups were non-regular users of green space. One of the focus groups was for regular users.

The third file is results of a participatory design workshop, where participants were asked to come up with design and planning solutions to make Netham park in Bristol more accessible for the diverse community it serves.
