Green spaces are defined as open spaces of ground, covered by vegetation, including parks and gardens. This kind of environment is linked to many positive effects and its importance is growing due to increasing urbanization. Understanding what drives people to use green urban space is fundamental to creating appropriate campaigns to develop the use of such spaces and improve the citizens' quality of life. A questionnaire on the attitude towards green space was developed and submitted to people from two Italian regions. Emilia-Romagna and Veneto are two regions in the North of Italy with different territorial policies. Three hundred and ten surveys were collected (167 in Emilia-Romagna and 143 in Veneto). Significant differences were observed between regions, age groups and in relation to the kind of work ( < 0.05). People from Emilia-Romagna have higher scores of attitudes towards green space than people from Veneto, underlining the importance of territorial policies. Moreover, younger participants (18-30 years) seem to be less attracted to green urban space. Being an employee seems to influence the attitude towards green space. Particular attention should be given to subjects of the younger age groups and to the number of hours spent at work. This could be an important element for future research, so that political action can be implemented with these categories in mind.
绿色空间被定义为植被覆盖的地面开放空间，包括公园和花园。这种环境与许多积极影响相关联，由于城市化的不断增加，其重要性也在不断增加。了解驱使人们使用绿色城市空间的因素对于制定适当的宣传活动以开发这些空间的使用并提高市民的生活质量至关重要。我们开发了一份关于对绿色空间的态度的问卷，并将其提交给来自意大利两个地区的人们。艾米利亚-罗马涅大区和威尼托大区是意大利北部的两个地区，其土地政策有所不同。共收集了 310 份调查问卷（艾米利亚-罗马涅大区 167 份，威尼托大区 143 份）。结果观察到了地区、年龄组和工作类型之间存在显著差异（ < 0.05）。艾米利亚-罗马涅大区的人们对绿色空间的态度评分高于威尼托大区的人们，这突出了土地政策的重要性。此外，年轻参与者（18-30 岁）似乎对绿色城市空间的吸引力较低。作为一名员工似乎会影响对绿色空间的态度。应该特别关注年龄较小的人群和工作时间。这可能是未来研究的一个重要因素，以便在考虑这些类别的情况下采取政治行动。
