“…On the other hand, the sum of green area in the influence area except target parks has a positive effect. This seems to have derived from people's cognizance preferring secluded space more than places with complexity (Shim et al 2006). In other words, a park that is placed in a less complex and less busy area is preferred.…”

In a contemporary city, the importance of urban green space is consistently increasing, and there are growing demands to evaluate the present condition of urban parks and prepare a suitable provision policy for a green environment based on several standards. A number of researchers have measured the amenity properties of urban parks and identified several relationships between urban park user satisfaction and internal facilities. However, most existing studies have considered only the spatial properties or internal facility status as measurement standards to calculate the quantitative adequacy or satisfaction of park use but have not considered a number of diverse criteria. Therefore, in this study, the authors determine the main factors affecting the usage of urban parks by considering more diverse variables through statistical analysis. The multiple regression analyses show that some factors have significant effects on the number of annual visitors. This implies that well-constructed park facilities with decent quality, high accessibility and precision of spatial recognition affect the degree of use in addition to the quantitative elements and the surrounding environment, although social factors and environmental factors rarely affect the usage of regional parks.

“…Urban green spaces support people's active outdoor behaviors (Shim et al, 2006). Furthermore, due to increasing interest in environmental problems, the role of parks in environmental stability such as reducing urban temperatures has been considered (Gallo et al 1993;Ali, 2008).…”

“…Eckbo (1950) defines urban park as a place for citizen's sightseeing, walking, exercise, social activities and other emotional activities. As a key ingredient influencing the sustainability of a city (Chiesura, 2004), urban parks support people's active outdoor behaviors (Shim et al, 2006). Furthermore, due to a rising interest in environmental problems, the role of parks in city environment such as reducing urban temperatures has been considered lately (Gallo et al, 1993;Ali, 2008).…”

Parks are some of the most important spaces within a city and should be managed with practical standards and an efficient system. The current urban park systems however, have inflexible standards where parks are categorized by size alone. In this sense, this study focuses on (1) the provision of practical urban park management schemes and (2) suggestions regarding the adequate use range of parks using a set of empirical data. This study has (1) examined the problems of the current park management and supply system by which parks with varying attributes (such as size, characteristics, and usage) are considered and managed as a single hierarchy and has (2) investigated the use range of five parks in Seoul where the service area has not been clearly defined. Surveys were also conducted to gather information on park usage, and analyses were followed to verify if park usage had statistically significant differences by parks and hierarchy.The findings of this study identified that the current hierarchy of regional area parks includes both neighborhood parks and regional parks in the same manner. It is expected that the results of this study may be used in suggesting the problems of the current urban park management scheme as well as primary data to consider establishing practical policies.
