Abstract
Urban parks are elements delivering at an urban level a variety of ecosystem servicesEcosystem services, attracting a wide range of visitors with specific requirements. These benefitsBenefit brought by their multifunctionality need to be carefully balanced with potential dysfunctions. Using an urban park from BucharestBucharest, Romania, as a case study, we analyzed the perception of visitors regarding the multitude of park functions and their benefitsBenefit and dysfunctions. For the last 12 years, we applied questionnairesQuestionnaire which revealed that the profile of visits has shifted as people access the park more frequently, but spend less time with each visit, and tend to have a very specialized profile, accessing a single park function. Some of the visitors are in an almost conflicting situation between the activity they access and other opposing park functions. Our results are of significant importance and should be used to integrating the multifunctionality of urban parks in the planningPlanning process.
