Non-linear canonical correlation, urban park, probit, recreationAbstract
A study about recreational uses was carried out through surveys in the Mexico Park located at Mexico City. For this, the relationship between visit patterns with socioeconomic information, recreational uses and perceptions of visitors with 18 years old or older was analyzed. This research uses a non-linear canonical correlation analysis to analyze relationships between variables. An ordered probit regression was also performed to determine the variables that explain the frequency of recreational use. The results allow us to conclude that socioeconomic variables such as age, income, education, place of residence, as well as perceptions, are related with patterns of use and recreational activities carried out in the space. Regarding the frequency of visits, it was found that family income, place of residence, accompaniment, weekly visiting period and recreational uses such as sports and family life positively affect the frequency of visits. Future research about recreation should study more the relationship between frequency of visits, income and perceptions of security/maintenance of the park and its effect on the quality of life of park visitors. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the park’s recreational activities will also have to be determined.
