Abstract

The satisfaction of urban green areas depend on people's perceptions of environment, their preferences and the extent to which they fulfil the needs of environment. Within this context, the physical features of urban green spaces and the activities that they offer have a great role in its impact on users' mental-physical-social well-being. This study aimed to focus particularly on whether there is a correlation between satisfaction, well-being and how users describe social-mental and physical well-being and which values they use to describe them.
