Urban Green Space Accessibility and Environmental Quality toward Mental Well-Being among Residents of Tangerang

Abstract

Urban green spaces are increasingly recognized as an important component of sustainable urban development because of their potential contribution to environmental quality and psychological well-being. This study examines the relationship between accessibility of urban green spaces, environmental quality, and mental well-being among residents of Tangerang. A quantitative approach was employed using a cross-sectional survey involving 75 respondents. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The analysis included validity and reliability testing, descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results indicate that accessibility of urban green spaces has a positive and significant relationship with mental well-being. Environmental quality also demonstrates a positive and significant relationship with mental well-being. Simultaneously, both variables significantly explain variations in mental well-being. These findings suggest that accessible and high-quality urban green environments are associated with better psychological well-being among Tangerang residents. The study highlights the importance of integrating accessibility, environmental maintenance, safety, comfort, and green-space quality into urban planning and public-health strategies.
