Abstract

Greenway is a linear green open space located along natural or man-made landscapes such as rivers, ridgelines, abandoned railways and scenic roads, with multiple functions of ecology, recreation and social culture. Greenway in the modern sense originated in the United States and has rapidly become a global movement since the 1990s. Greenway construction in China began in 2008, and most of it focuses on the function, benefit and planning of greenway space. There are few studies on users, and scholars engaged in this field come from multiple disciplines, so the theoretical basis is weaker than overseas studies. This study first elaborated the concept and type of greenway space, the definition of greenway space user, summarized the development process of greenway space overseas and China. By systematically summarizing the research progress of greenway space users in China and overseas, it is found that more and more scholars in the field of greenway research begin to pay attention to user issues, and the research area is increasingly globalized. Most of them are empirical studies, and the research methods tend to be diverse. Most of them are American scholars. At present, greenway user research is mostly based on the research of developed countries. However, the purpose of greenway construction in China is different, and the current public awareness of greenway is still little. Therefore, this study can provide theoretical case reference for the study of greenway user behavior in developing countries.
