Funded Activity Summary

People and Parks: The Real Value of Open Space in Western Sydney. The Western Sydney Parklands (WSP), a corridor of 5500 contiguous hectares, will be the largest urban park in the southern hemisphere - an extraordinary open space resource. This study uses quantitative and qualitative research techniques to gauge 'imageability' and feelings of 'attachment' and 'connectedness' to the Parklands experienced by residents of Western Sydney. We will construct new thematic layers for an existing Geographic Information Systems database that incorporate subjective values about open space. This expanded understanding of feelings of connectedness will reveal shared community values and enhance future planning and design of urban parklands.
