title = "Measuring children's access to urban greenspace",
abstract = "In this dissertation, we propose innovative approaches for assessing urban greenspace accessibility with a specific focus on factors affecting children{\textquoteright}s access. Access to quality greenspaces in urban areas is crucial for fostering the health and well-being of children and providing spaces for recreation, socialization, and personal development. Unlike adults', children{\textquoteright}s access to greenspaces is influenced by factors such as their daily activity patterns, levels of autonomy, and various physical and perceived barriers. While many studies in epidemiology, spatial equity, and urban planning aim to evaluate access to greenspaces for children across different urban scales and geographical contexts, they often utilize methods designed for the general population, overlooking the distinct factors affecting children's access. Our research addresses this gap by developing tailored methodologies that account for the specific needs and experiences of children in urban environments.",
