Since December 2019, the global community has been challenged by managing the COVID-19 health crisis. Some governments have restricted the use of public green spaces (PGS), as part of measures for limiting the spread of the virus. Although many scholars studied the changing perception of using PGS during the pandemic, the extent to which the planning and design of new PGS recognize new realities and lessons learned from the ongoing pandemic including requirements for social distancing is less illuminated. Against this background, this article seeks to assess the intersection between the institutional responsibility in planning, designing and managing PSG, and the corresponding perception by PGS users in the two Serbian cities Belgrade and Novi Sad during the ongoing pandemic. Therefore, the paper surveyed 400 respondents about their perception of introduced measures and physical settings of PGS including their specific suggestions concerning which features, if included, would help them remain vigilant during a pandemic. The findings suggest that people have very clear and diverse ideas about the planning, design and management of PGS during a health crisis adapted to their individual needs but also beneficial to the whole local community. In reviewing public green space design competition calls and results published from 2019 to 2021, this study finds that the global lessons learned about the use of public green spaces during the pandemic were not considered by local governments and professionals in Serbia when planning and designing them. In addition, residents are less likely to request changing ways of implementing, designing or managing PGS from their local government. These two aspects are striking in successfully shaping and managing PGS as a crucial resource in cities and communities bouncing back after the COVID-19 pandemic.
自2019年12月以来，全球社会一直在应对新冠疫情带来的健康危机挑战。一些政府限制了公共绿地（PGS）的使用，作为限制病毒传播措施的一部分。尽管许多学者研究了疫情期间人们对使用公共绿地的认知变化，但新公共绿地的规划和设计在多大程度上认识到了新的现实情况以及从当前疫情中学到的经验教训，包括社交距离的要求，这一点却鲜有人探讨。在此背景下，本文旨在评估塞尔维亚的贝尔格莱德和诺维萨德这两座城市在当前疫情期间，公共绿地规划、设计和管理中的机构责任与公共绿地使用者相应认知之间的交叉点。因此，本文对400名受访者进行了调查，了解他们对公共绿地引入措施和实体环境的看法，包括他们对于哪些特征（若包含在内）有助于他们在疫情期间保持警惕的具体建议。研究结果表明，人们对于健康危机期间公共绿地的规划、设计和管理有着非常清晰且多样的想法，这些想法既适应了他们的个人需求，又对整个当地社区有益。通过回顾2019年至2021年公布的公共绿地设计竞赛征集要求和结果，本研究发现，塞尔维亚的地方政府和专业人士在规划和设计公共绿地时，并未考虑到全球范围内在疫情期间使用公共绿地所学到的经验教训。此外，居民向当地政府提出改变公共绿地实施、设计或管理方式要求的可能性较小。在将公共绿地成功塑造和管理为城市和社区在新冠疫情后复苏的关键资源方面，这两个方面颇为显著。
