Spatial and non-spatial factors influencing willingness to pay (WTP) for urban green spaces (UGS): a review

With numerous ecosystem services of urban green spaces (UGS), contributing to sustainability and a better quality of life, UGS provision is perceived as a pivotal role in urban planning. However, concern arises as to what extent local governments have effectively provided good quality and adequate q...

Provisioning those UGS aspects has been given a low priority due to insufficient resources and the limited budget allocated by local governments.
