The Priorities of Landscape Architectural Elements and the Decision to Use City Park Spaces (Case Study: Somdej Phra Sri Nagarindra 84 Parks, Thailand)

Abstract

This article aims to prioritize and assess each architecture element to ensure its compliance with the users’ needs, leading to interaction, and holistic interrelation as well as systematic solutions. As a result, fundamental data, and needs for the landscape architecture elements, were collected using a structured questionnaire with residents living in Muang District, the main service district. A structured interview was conducted with current visitors to the park and collected data concerning physical components for collaborative analysis. Article findings suggested that the elements are ranked and put into three groups: Group 1, the element of providing access, Group 2, the element of leading to activities, and Group 3, the element of creating a good environment. Consistent and more frequent visits represent the success of a designer. The designer could prioritize and assess each component to ensure compliance with the users’ needs, leading to interaction, holistic interrelation, and systematic solutions.
