However, existing studies have limitations: insufficiently granular classification of community-level facilities, failure to account for how differences in facility types affect service equity, absence of integrated validation that combines objective quantification and subjective perception, and inattention to group differences. These gaps provide the motivation for this study. This study uses Shijingshan District, Beijing, as a case study, categorizing community sports and fitness facilities into two categories: for-profit commercial facilities and non-profit community sports parks. Employing GIS technology, Z-score standardization, and questionnaire surveys, an evaluation was conducted from three aspects: accessibility, supply\u2013demand dynamics, and group perception. The results show that: (1) Facility accessibility exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. Commercial facilities are densely clustered in core subdistricts, whereas community sports parks exhibit higher accessibility in the southern and eastern areas than in the northern and western areas, with inadequate coverage in peripheral areas; (2) most facilities are in short supply shortage, and the supply\u2013demand imbalance is particularly pronounced in peripheral areas; and (3) regarding group equity, gender equity is outperforms age equity, and the supply\u2013demand structure aligns closely with gender-specific preferences. This study argues that the spatial mismatch between facility distribution and resident demand, as well as imbalances in the supply of facility types, are the key factors undermining equity. It proposes optimization strategies, including augmenting facility supply in peripheral areas and coordinating the provision of commercial facilities and community sports parks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi15030094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,26]],"date-time":"2026-02-26T14:51:29Z","timestamp":1772117489000},"page":"94","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Assessing Supply Equity of Community Sports and Fitness Facilities: A Case Study of Shijingshan District, Beijing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6880-3167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Art, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1204-7001","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Hyrea Solidale Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing 100071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1385-4884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenqi","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Art, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4703-5843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yutao","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Art, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Art, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anderson, E., and Shivakumar, G.
