  • Accessibility of Public Urban Green Spaces Within the Spatial Metropolitan Network of Doha, State of Qatar
    Tannous, H.O.; Major, M.D., Furlan, R. Accessibility of Public Urban Green Spaces within the Spatial Metropolitan Network of Doha, State of Qatar. Research Paper Accessibility of Public Urban Green Spaces within the Spatial Metropolitan Network of Doha, State of Qatar Heba O. TANNOUS, Research Associate, Qatar Mark David MAJOR, Assistant Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, Qatar Raffaello FURLAN, Assistant Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, Qatar Abstract Most people regard green spaces as a necessity to enhance the physical health and psychological well-being of residents in promoting the general health and welfare of citizens and the environment (Röbbel, 2016). In the Modern Era, the availability of green spaces has become an integral component of urban planning for sustaining the quality of life in city environments, especially since the dawn of the 20th century. Due to globalization in rapidly-developing cities around the world, studies about green spaces are becoming an increasingly important part of the urban planning process (Mitchell and Popham, 2007). Accessibility can play an essential role in determining the location of green public facilities to maximize their usability for large populations, or otherwise limit use to a smaller community (Ottensmann and Greg, 2008). However, some public green spaces are inefficiently located or distributed in urban environments (Beatley, 2000, Gehl, 2010, Gehl and Svarre, 2013). In this paper, the accessibility of urban green spaces means the ease of reaching such locations from many origins within the urban spatial network from the macro- to the micro-scale. The inaccessibility or absence of green spaces in some urban areas is a notable consequence of rapid urbanization in many cities around the world.
