The quality of life in our cities critically depends on the intelligent planning and shaping of urban living space, in particular urban nature. By providing a wide range of ecosystem services (ES), urban nature essentially contributes to the well-being of city dwellers and plays a major role in avoiding common diseases through its positive impact on physical and mental health. Health is one of the most important factors underlying human welfare and is, thus, vital to sustainable development. The ES of urban green space provide other social-cultural functions alongside public health, for example by fostering environmental justice and citizenship participation. Thus, they should always be considered when searching for solutions to urban problems. The aim of this research was to determine the impact of green areas in three selected cities on the health and well-being of people by self-reporting of green areas’ visitors. To this end, we posed the research question: which types and characteristics of urban green space are most appreciated by city dwellers? Based on our findings, we have drawn up recommendations for practices to promote better living conditions. We have also pinpointed obstacles to and opportunities for leisure time activities as well as ways of supporting the public health of citizens.

就提供与健康和福祉相关的生态系统服务而言，城市自然的价值：德国和捷克共和国城市的经验比较性先导研究

我们城市的生活质量在很大程度上取决于对城市生活空间（尤其是城市自然环境）的智能规划和塑造。通过提供广泛的生态系统服务（ES），城市自然本质上为城市居民的福祉做出了贡献，并通过其对身心健康的积极影响，在避免常见疾病中发挥了重要作用。健康是人类福祉的最重要因素之一，因此对可持续发展至关重要。城市绿色空间的环境服务体系除了提供公共卫生外，还提供其他社会文化功能，例如，通过促进环境正义和公民参与。因此，在寻找解决城市问题的方法时应始终考虑它们。这项研究的目的是通过自我报告绿色区域游客的情况来确定三个选定城市中绿色区域对人们健康和福祉的影响。为此，我们提出了研究问题：城市居民最欣赏哪种类型的城市绿地和特色？根据我们的发现，我们为改善生活条件的做法提出了建议。我们还指出了休闲活动的障碍和机会，以及支持公民公共健康的方式。我们已经为改善生活条件的做法提出了建议。我们还指出了休闲活动的障碍和机会，以及支持公民公共健康的方式。我们已经为改善生活条件的做法提出了建议。我们还指出了休闲活动的障碍和机会，以及支持公民公共健康的方式。
