Description
Summary:Green space as one of the most important elements of life and sustainability of city, in case of considering environmental standards and its proper distribution, regarding factors including population, density, and area has crucial and positive effect on the life quality and joyance of people. But at present, a lot of small and large cities of Iran faced with limitation and inappropriate distribution of green spaces, which such condition causes the dissatisfaction and gradual decrease of life quality and health of people. The city of Qom as one of the large cities of Iran, regarding the increasing population and physical growth, requires a desirable urban green space. this research aimed to investigate and analyze the green space use and its per capita in the most populated area of the city (district 1) and presenting appropriate recommendations in line with creating balance in  socio-physical structure of the study area,  as the subject of this research, can have a great importance. The methodology of the research is descriptive-analytical method, and the documentary and field data were collected, meanwhile 380 short and brief questionnaires have been distributed among the area residents based on Kokaran model  to examine the satisfaction of the area’s citizen about the function and condition of green space. The research findings showed that the current situation of the area, its dispersion and distribution in the area in not at all compatible with the common standards specially the population and the residents of this area are faced with great problems in this regard. So that , the made calculations show that the shortage amount of green space in the area is 8337293m2. This number shows the undesirable condition of green space and its improper dispersion especially in north east part of the area which is approximately devoid of green space. Finally by recognizing the condition of the green space of the area, a proper green space per capita has been recommended based on Bahram Soltani model.
