“…In Vietnam, decentralization efforts have been made to empower local communities to participate in national parks' tourism activities (Bui et al, 2021). (Ly & Nguyen, 2017;Pham, 2016). Although policies supporting decentralization and delegation of additional powers to provincial and municipal authorities have been benefiting…”

Biodiversity provides many benefits to humans in general and urban residents in particular. However, the rising population, income, and wildlife product consumption demands contribute to the deliberately organized illegal wildlife trade expansion. Protected areas are designated mainly for biodiversity conservation but face financial constraints for management activities. The increased illegal wildlife trade and lack of financing in protected areas can negatively affect biodiversity levels. Thus, the current dissertation is dedicated to answering the question: “How can we mitigate biodiversity loss in protected areas by better involving urban residents in biodiversity conservation?”To answer this question, the dissertation comprises three studies and data collection about the psychology and behaviors related to biodiversity and conservation among urban residents.

“…The concept of carrying capacity (CC) was adapted to parks and outdoor recreation in mid -1930s due to the growing awareness of the limits of environmental resources and concern [7], [13]. The previous studies on CC of parks aim to explain the limits of acceptable change and find out its optimal uses [12].…”

In the process of rapid urbanization, the need for green open spaces is increasing, predominantly that of parks. Parks play a vital role in the social, economic, and physical well-being of city dwellers. Park visitors often prefer to visit parks, which have good potential to accommodate the optimal number of visitors without compromising the quality of experience. Due to the lack of understanding of parks and visitors’ requirements, parks are either under-utilised or over-utilized. The optimal visitors carrying capacity is an important parameter to assess the optimal number of visitors an Urban park can accommodate in a given time. This study presents a method to calculate the optimal carrying capacity of visitors. For this purpose, a conventional three-level procedure of visitor carrying capacity for parks was considered in Korba City. In this regard, the physical, real and effective carrying capacity was estimated using “the Cifuentes method”. For this study, three parks from Korba City (C.G., India) were selected that are Silver jubilee park, Smriti nagar park and Vivekanand Udyan. The finding of research indicates that the mentioned three parks were working below the limit of carrying capacity, which means the facilities are underutilised. The outcome signifies may serve as a tool for the future planning of parks as well as other type of ecological environment such as national parks and zoo used for recreational activities. Hence, landscape architects, city planners and policymakers can work in the direction to derive significant information about the parks and park visitors for the optimal utilisation of the park

“…When it comes to designing a park, it is crucial to take into account the needs of the public as well as specific interest groups (Goličnik & Ward Thompson, 2010). Operating and maintaining a park can pose challenges requiring constant attention and improvements (Duygu, 2016;Ly & Nguyen, 2017). Assessing quality is crucial in many sectors, including numerous types of services like design, customer satisfaction, and the tourism sector.…”

The presence of recreational open spaces in urban areas is of paramount importance when it comes to promoting physical activity and improving one's overall health and wellness. To perform these activities, the public tends to visit public urban parks. These public urban parks are a combination of six different attributes: amenities/facilities, connectivity, physical features, visual attributes, surveillance, and management. These attributes are qualitative, but to understand these attributes, quantitative measures should be done. Therefore, this study focused on quantitative attributes analysis using the Likert scale as a tool. This study assessed the importance and performance of each park based on twenty-four different factors using the Importance-performance analysis (IPA) method. A study was conducted on six selected parks in Korba city to determine the importance of each factor that attracts visitors. The study also aimed to identify gaps in these factors that need improvement to enhance the quality of the park. The findings of this study provide a methodology for local officials with guidance on how to design and manage public parks that encourage the public to visit the parks. Furthermore, it creates a standard for other cities with similar population densities to measure their park qualities and take necessary measures. This approach can be used in recreational space to evaluate the current situation.
