Public spaces are considered areas that promote users' physical and mental health. The role of these people in public spaces makes it necessary to evaluate such areas. In this study, 12 urban parks on the island of Tenerife were evaluated, combining the assessment of a trained observer and the perception of users, to analyse and categorise the environmental quality of the parks. The findings of this study conclude that users are good evaluators of public spaces; that the Public Space Characteristics Observation Questionnaire (PSCOQ) tool allows the classification of public spaces and that physical order is capable of predicting the environmental quality and the restorative capacity of spaces, as perceived by users. The PSCOQ observation tool makes it possible to detect the strengths and weaknesses of public spaces so they can be improved and adapted to the needs of users.
公共场所被认为是促进使用者身心健康的区域。这些人在公共场所所起的作用使得评估这些区域成为必要。在本研究中，对特内里费岛上的12个城市公园进行了评估，结合了训练有素的观察者的评估和使用者的感知，以分析和分类公园的环境质量。本研究的结果表明，使用者是公共场所的良好评估者；公共空间特征观察问卷（PSCOQ）工具能够对公共场所进行分类，并且物理秩序能够预测使用者所感知的空间环境质量和恢复能力。PSCOQ观察工具能够检测出公共场所的优势和劣势，以便对其进行改进并使其适应使用者的需求。
