Abstract
Urban green spaces provide important recreational services for urban residents. In general, when park visitors enjoy "the green," they are in actuality appreciating a mix of biotic, abiotic, and man-made park infrastructure elements and qualities. We argue that these three dimensions of structural diversity have an influence on how people use and value urban parks. We present a straightforward approach for assessing urban parks that combines multidimensional landscape mapping and questionnaire surveys. Wediscuss the method as well the results from its application to differently sized parks in Berlin and Salzburg.
