Currently, urban green infrastructure is increasingly gaining attention as a source of multiple benefits. Understanding how city residents perceive the benefits of green infrastructure is critical for urban policy and planning. This paper investigates public assessment of the benefits of green infrastructure and the associated influencing factors in Bahir Dar and Hawassa cities of Ethiopia. Data were collected from residents of the two cities and inferential and descriptive statistics were used to identify public assessment of benefits of green infrastructure and the factors that influence their assessment of benefits of green infrastructure. Findings revealed that people either agree or strongly agree to the triple benefits (environmental, economic and socio-cultural) of green infrastructure. The Pearson’s Chi-square test results depict that, except a few, most of the demographic, socio-economic and bio-physical factors have no significant influence on environmental, economic and socio-cultural benefits of green infrastructure. This study implies that an understanding of the public assessment of the benefits of green infrastructure can provide important inputs to promote participatory green infrastructure planning.

对埃塞俄比亚两个城市：巴赫达尔和阿瓦萨的绿色基础设施效益及相关影响因素的公开评估

当前，城市绿色基础设施作为多重效益的来源日益受到关注。了解城市居民如何看待绿色基础设施的好处对于城市政策和规划至关重要。本文调查了埃塞俄比亚巴赫达尔市和阿瓦萨市绿色基础设施效益的公众评估以及相关影响因素。从两个城市的居民那里收集数据，并使用推论和描述性统计来确定公众对绿色基础设施效益的评估以及影响他们对绿色基础设施效益评估的因素。调查结果显示，人们同意或强烈同意绿色基础设施的三重效益（环境、经济和社会文化）。皮尔逊卡方检验结果表明，除少数因素外，大多数人口、社会经济和生物物理因素对绿色基础设施的环境、经济和社会文化效益没有显着影响。这项研究表明，了解公众对绿色基础设施效益的评估可以为促进参与式绿色基础设施规划提供重要投入。
