Factors of the urban space supporting recreation and their influence on the environment

Daniel Kliment, Sofie Pokorná, Monika Doležalová

The paper focuses on the investigation of the dependence of specific elements of urban space, which also support recreation, on selected environmental influences. The basic functions of urban space include not only the satisfaction of physiological needs, but also psychological needs. Urban space is usually closely related to urban planning, which includes parts of the landscape to which the settlement pattern is related. For the purpose of this research, public green spaces and water areas were chosen as the monitored elements in urban space. The database included 518 points in which the above dependency was investigated. The points represented physical locations on the map, which were located in the city centre of Brno and the adjacent urban districts. The dependence under consideration is detected using a non-parametric test that allows comparing two groups or conditions without assuming that the data are normally distributed. The results of the research defining the examined dependencies can help those involved in urban planning to understand more about the importance of public green spaces and water areas so that their recreational potential can be exploited at the same time.
