Abstract

Landscapes and urban green spaces, especially urban parks, are considered to be one of the most important urban spaces, so it is important to investigate the issues related to these places. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing citizens' visit to urban parks. To obtain the required information and data, library sources, questionnaires and interviews were used, 385 people participated in the questionnaire section and 12 people participated in the interview section. Atlas.ti software was used. The results showed that resting and spending free time are considered to be the most important reasons for citizens to visit city parks, and being in the community was the least important reason for visiting these places. In general, it can be said that citizens refer to urban parks to get rid of the daily routines in urban life and to get comfort, and urban designers and planners should consider these things in their designs and plans.
