LITERATURE REVIEW

The fundamentals of urban open space management suggest that a thoughtfully implemented urban development should include more than just great buildings (Garvin, Berens, and Leinberger, 1997; Phillips, 1995). It should include parks and open space because both buildings and open space benefit from each other. Parks are designed for recreation and can give enormous benefits to the neighbourhood and community by improving health, social well-being and enhancing enjoyment of the local environment. Similarly, benefits of leisure also cover physical health, psychosocial well-being, self-actualization, spirituality and self-identity, family bonding, child development, environmental education and social skills development (Veal and Lynch, 2001). Parks also make a valuable contribution to biodiversity within urban areas and provide important educational resources for many people. Today, outdoor recreation is readily available to more people than in the past. More people now live in metropolitan areas, whether it be a developed or developing country. The role of open space is to provide relief from problems of urban life and even as part of a wider approach towards social control through provision of recreation facilities (Walker and Duffield, 1983 cited in Williams, 1995).
