The COVID-19 pandemic revealed that inequality in access to public green spaces has a global scale. The present study is carried out in the city of Loja - Ecuador and seeks to determine if the provision and spatial distribution of the public green condition the accessibility of the population. Public green is categorized and the endowment is measured using the urban green index (IVU), the spatial distribution in the city is analyzed and the level of accessibility is assessed through proximity and walking distances to finally establish the correlation between variables. The results show that the provision of public green in the city (6.22 m2/hab.) does not meet the minimum parameters recommended by the WHO and the spatial distribution is unequal. 80.86% of the population and 60.33% of the vulnerable population (older adults and children) have access to at least one green space. The statistical analysis shows that the endowment and distribution of the public green do not condition the accessibility of the population. Se reconoce ampliamente en la literatura que el verde urbano contribuye a la mitigación del clima, la salud pública, la conservación de la biodiversidad y el bienestar de la población. La pandemia por COVID-19 puso en evidencia que la desigualdad en el acceso a espacios verdes tiene escala mundial. El presente estudio se realiza en la ciudad de Loja – Ecuador y busca determinar si la dotación y distribución espacial del verde público condicionan la accesibilidad de la población. Se categoriza el verde urbano y se mide la dotación mediante el índice de verde urbano (IVU), se analiza la distribución espacial en la ciudad y valora el nivel de accesibilidad a través de la proximidad y distancias caminables para finalmente establecer la correlación entre variables. Los resultados demuestran que la dotación de verde público en la ciudad (6.22 m2/hab.) no cumple con los parámetros mínimos recomendados por la OMS y la distribución espacial es inequitativa. El 80.86% de la población y el 60.33% de la población vulnerable (adultos mayores y niños) tienen acceso a por lo menos un espacio verde. El análisis estadístico demuestra que la dotación y distribución del verde público no condicionan la accesibilidad de la población.
