- Abstract in English : How do people use and value urban open spaces such as city parks and community gardens? Are the values attached to open spaces by different groups such as users and non-users similar or different? Do officials charges with managing urban recreation have the same perceptions of the benefits of open spaces as do city residents who use op pass by them? This study is an initial attempt to present empirical evidence and theoretical reflection about the role open space plays in everyday urban life.
