Abstract:
Urban noise has become a significant concern for public health and well-being, prompting growing interest in understanding its spatial patterns and drivers. In the context of quiet city development, this study investigates whether the morphology of urban green spaces influences noise propagation and noise complaint distribution. Taking Fuzhou City, China, as a case study, we investigated the spatial distribution characteristics of green space form metrics and noise complaints. Subsequently, we employed Spearman correlation analysis and the Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) model to explore their spatiotemporal associations. Results show that: (1) Noise complaint hotspots are concentrated in high-traffic commercial zones, dense residential areas, and construction sites; (2) Key green space indicators influencing complaint patterns include the Number of Patches (NP) and Patch Density (PD); (3) Mean Patch Area (MPA) and Radius of Gyration (MRG) contribute to temporal differences, with more aggregated green spaces showing stronger noise buffering effects. These findings highlight the critical role of green space configuration in urban acoustic environments and provide a scientific basis for improving green space planning and noise control strategies in support of healthy and livable cities.
