Abstract

Among the recognized  and  available landuses in  the cities, Urban planners only for green space Although they have proposed some minimums for  per capita of green space, but they believe that  it is better not to have per capita for such landuse so that cites become Garden City. This shows the importance and necessity of green space, thus, now green space as a fascinating topic is discussing in scientific centers. The aim of this study is to increase the efficiency and the number of visitors of the parks in Noorabad Mamasani city in Fars province. The discussed issue in this study is that the designers and planners did not consider any difference among three components of culture, economy and environment and lack of attention to public preferences in designing park.
To this end, Firstly, after indicating  the investigated challenges for each of these components (cultural, economical and environmental),the considered indicators for each of them were identified and designed in the form of a questionnaire. The single variable chi-square test was used after extraction and processing of gathered data and preparation of statistical indicators for the research components. The results indicate that, contrary to common belief among planners, citizens make distinction between the three components (cultural, economical and environmental). The cultural component among the  three investigated components has the highest preferences with value (x2) equal to 559.746, Then in environmental component, value of (x2) equal to 506.579 and economic component, value of (x2) equal to 166.411 are at the next ranks.
