Abstract:
The task of green space allocation in urban areas consists of identifying a suitable site for allocating green
areas. In this proposition paper we discuss about a number of factors like crowdedness, design, distribution
and size that could discourage inhabitants to visit a certain green urban area. We plan to cluster our urban
residents into several population segments using an Agent-Based Model and study the system in different
predefined scenarios. The overall objective of this work is to provide spatial guidance to planners, policy makers
and other stakeholders, and shed light on potential policy conflicts among standard policy criteria and
user preferences. We will evaluate this potential within a targeted stakeholder workshop.
