From Diurnal Cooling Dynamics to Cooling Equity: Quantifying the Mismatch of Cooling Accessibility to Urban Blue-Green Spaces in High-Density Cities

General Description: This dataset contains three files supporting the research on urban cooling services and accessibility. The files include accessibility metrics based on fishnet grids, independent variables related to urban green spaces (UBGS), and cooling indices.

File 1: Summary of Fishing Net Accessibility Data.csv This file contains accessibility analysis data based on fishnet grids. The variables are defined as follows:

ID: Fishnet ID

Housing_price: Housing price

Price_Q: Quintile of housing price (5 levels)

POP_total: Total population

POP_elder: Elderly population

POP_children: Children population

POP_adult: Adult population

POP_Vul: Total vulnerable population

A_adult: Accessibility index for adults

A_vul: Accessibility index for vulnerable groups

Cover_vul: Fishnets covered within the time threshold for vulnerable groups

Desert_vul: Fishnets NOT covered within the time threshold for vulnerable groups

Cover_adult: Fishnets covered within the time threshold for adults

Desert_adult: Fishnets NOT covered within the time threshold for adults

zV: Standardized score for vulnerable groups

zA: Standardized score for accessibility

zP: Standardized score for housing price

Score: Final composite score

File 2: Table of Independent Variables.csv This file lists the morphological and biophysical characteristics of the Urban Blue-Green Spaces (UBGS) and their surrounding buffers.

New_ID: ID of the UBGS

Park_Area: Area of the park

Park_Perimeter: Perimeter of the park

Park_LSI: Landscape Shape Index of the park

Park_NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index of the park

Park_NDWI: Normalized Difference Water Index of the park

Park_Canopy height: Average canopy height of the park

Buffer_BH: Building Height in the buffer zone

Buffer_BD: Building Density in the buffer zone

Buffer_FAR: Floor Area Ratio in the buffer zone

Buffer_SVF: Sky View Factor in the buffer zone

Buffer_NDVI: NDVI in the buffer zone

Buffer_NDWI: NDWI in the buffer zone

Buffer_RND: Road Network Density in the buffer zone (assuming RND stands for this, please verify)

Park_shdi: Shannon's Diversity Index of the park

File 3: UBGS Cooling Indices.csv This file records the cooling performance metrics of the UBGS at different times.

time: Time of measurement

New_ID: ID of the UBGS

CI (°C): Cooling Intensity

CA (ha): Cooling Area

CE: Cooling Efficiency

CG (°C/m): Cooling Gradient
