Advances in Urban Community Green Space Researches

Urban community green space, a green public infrastructure mainly serving community residents, is an important spatial resource to realize the stock tapping, common construction and sharing. Taking community green space as the search theme, this research conducts a bibliometric analysis of 1,190 English papers and 618 Chinese papers to describe the research progress in this field, and creatively compares and analyzes the research differences between Chinese and English papers and between China and other major publications countries. It has found that the research results published by Chinese scholars in Chinese and English contexts are quite different: the published English papers keep up with the international trends and research hotspots, having a leading role in the international academic community; the Chinese papers are characterized by fragmented researches that follow policies within the framework of urban green space system and significantly lag behind the English literature. It summarizes the trends and deficiencies of urban community green space researches in China to provide a reference for future urban community green space researches.
