Analysis of the green areas with unlimited access and their impact on the population from Iaşi city

Abstract

The current area of Iasi is approx. 3.770 ha of which the green system occupies approx. 826.80 ha (both green spaces within city limits and outside the city) and only 362.60 ha represent unlimited access green spaces [approx. 44% of the total area of green space in Iasi and only 9.61% of the area attributed to the green system (Inside and outside town)]. From the analysis made for the most representative unlimited access green spaces in Iasi, results the existence of a small number of green system elements and an uneven distribution with very different shares from a neighborhood to another, from one area to another. This situation is the result of a sequential urban planning approach, held in various periods of time without solutions correlation and without to promoting the idea of linking the town and its outskirts. The comparative study regarding accessibility, service range and radius of influence of the main types of unlimited access green spaces in Iasi, completed with the analysis performed using a conducted opinion survey (survey covers a total of ten items, each with 3 ÷ 15 possible answers), led to the deduction of deviations from the indicators used in assessing urban green spaces
