Abstract

Based on the big data of remote sensing observation and mobile phone signaling, we put forward two quantitative indices that objectively characterize visitor visiting behavior—Park Visiting Hours (PVH) and the probability of visitor attendance (PVA). We hope to answer whether the water quality of urban landscape water will affect PVH and how different it will be for various groups. The findings are as follows: (1) Sensory Pollution Index (SPI) has a very significant negative correlation with HPV. The conclusion that the deterioration of water quality will shorten PVH is statistically significant. However, water quality is not the main factor affecting that. (2) Visitor visits decrease with the deterioration of water quality, and this trend is more evident with the extension of PVH. (3) There are significant differences in PVH between various groups when the water quality is excellent or poor. Generally speaking, when the water quality is good, the younger visitors will have a higher PVH, while when the water quality is poor, the more youthful visitors will have a lower PVH.
