A Case Study in the Gorgan Neighborhoods of Jomhuri and Baharestan

Abstract

The creation of parks and green spaces in neighborhoods has a positive initial effect on the mental health of the populace. Therefore, prior to park construction, pre-planning measures should be made to fulfill the needs and preferences of the community, taking into account the neighborhood's various age groups and prioritizing their usage of the park and park furnishings, as well as performing pathogenesis ahead to park establishment. The goal of this study was to develop a small park in the Baharestan and Jomhuri areas. The descriptive-analytical research approach was used, and surveys and the creation of questionnaires were used to gather data. SPSS software was used to process the data and provide graphs, tables, and statistical tests. The findings of the study showed that the residents of the Jomhuri area saw the creation of a pocket park as a crucial requirement because they value how green space improves their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In the continuation of this study, the demands and interests of married people and women's gender in relation to the park and park furnishings were also explored. Middle-aged and older persons made up the majority of the group seeking the establishment of parks.
