THE QUALITY OF BUCHAREST’S GREEN SPACES

This paper presents the results of a study which had the goal to evaluate the quality of Bucharest’s green spaces. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used to determine the weightings for evaluation criteria. Five of the bigest parks in Bucharest (Cismigiu, Herastrau, Tineretului, Alexandru Ioan Cuza and Carol) were evaluated based on the responses of 51 Bucharest’s citizens. Study findings suggest a need to deliberately and thoughtfully plan and manage the green spaces in Bucharest.
