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

Abstract

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.JISC survey system was used for the online survey. The link was distributed through social media and community groups. For the focus groups, researcher notes were taken to document the discussion which was guided by a preset of questions and topics, then analysed using thematic analysis with NVivo. For the participatory workshop, solutions were documented during the event, and later transcribed into a file that was analysed using NVivo.NVivo was used for thematic coding, MS Excel was used for statistic analysis of the survey results
