abstract: Green spaces are important for the quality of life in cities. This thesis focuses on understanding the differences in functions, visitors, opinions and needs between green spaces on multiple scales in the city of Groningen. The results are valuable for matching the supply of urban green spaces with the demand of human needs. The used methods are an internet-based survey and observations. A triangle is created consisting of the role, scale and function. This triangle helps in recognizing urban green in the right urban context. The majority of the respondents visits urban green once a week and is willing to travel for 5-15 minutes. Attractive and well used green spaces are related to green users on a city level. Green spaces on a neighbourhood level are more suited for exercise activities, less for relaxation. Green spaces on a street level can be more related to visual aspects, less for usage.
