All people have equal access to rights -‐ in all aspects of life
Environmental jus2ce
Distribu2ve jus2ce: distribuOon of (dis)benefits

Physical barriers to access (roads, fencing)
Lack of (adequate) recrea2onal infrastructure/equipment
greenways, benches, play equipment
infrastructure adapted to disabled, older & younger
too abundant infrastructure
Low quality of the greenspacevandalism & misuse

ConclusionsInequal access to UF & GI (distribuOonal jusOce)
Also in countries with everymen’s right
Similar paderns around Europe -‐ older people & lower SES
Informal access, informal use, temporary use, private GI
Not only about “physical accessibility”, but also about “mentalaccessibility” (interacOonal jusOce)
Tailor UF & GI to wishes & requirements from the future visitors
Providing access to GI&UF is not enough
Role for public par2cipa2on (procedural jusOce)
Avoid eco-‐gentrifica2on (social jusOce)
