abstract: The central research question, ‘How does, in Berlin, the spatial design of open public space and light sport facilities, contribute to physical activity of different gender groups?’, is answered with the help of a mixed method analysis of qualitative, quantitative and spatial data. Results suggest that the most important factor for physical activity behavior is a green environment and a large open space, for which there is no difference in gender. A comparison of the two research areas shows that the factor accessibility is shown to be of less importance for respondents from Campus Charlottenburg/ City West in comparison to respondents of Berlin- Adlershof Science City. Other findings show that light sport facilities are generally preferred and used more by male university students. This is explained by the presence of silent expectations of sport facilities. Nevertheless, there is no difference found in the perception of other environmental characteristics, visual cues, per gender group. In addition to this are all gender groups seen as equally fit.
