摘要：The importance of open spaces to our environment and quality of life is increasingly recognized. Open spaces include public parks and recreation grounds, non-roofed-over urban land and undeveloped natural landscape, and neighbouring spaces between buildings. User surveys are significant sources of data to help the planning, design and management processes of urban open spaces and also important to identify users’ needs. This paper focuses on the users of Kalad open space, located in the east part of Tehran, in three different times for survey and evaluation purposes. To analyze the use of the open spaces, a literature survey and a questionnaire survey were carried out together. The former describes the distributional structure of the open spaces whereas the latter makes assessments by exploring the characteristics of open space users, user satisfaction, reported problems and requirements. Results were evaluated using chi square (χ2) correlation test. The findings suggest that the use of open space has its own characteristics although there appear some similarities within the studied areas. As a result, recommendations for future planning are suggested.
