Abstract: The health benefits and disaster prevention and mitigation functions of urban park green spaces are of significant importance for normalized epidemic prevention. This study first analyzes the challenges faced in the post-pandemic era and the corresponding responses of urban park green spaces, clarifying their positive role in addressing normalized epidemic prevention. Taking Hohhot as the research subject, the current status of epidemic prevention in urban park green spaces was investigated using methods such as GIS network analysis and field surveys. Finally, integrating the characteristics of epidemic prevention in the post-pandemic era, development strategies are proposed across three aspects: constructing an epidemic prevention system for urban park green spaces, optimizing their spatial layout, and enhancing their operational management. These strategies aim to improve the epidemic prevention capacity of park green spaces in Hohhot and provide a reference for the safe development of urban park green spaces in the post-pandemic era.
