Assessing preferences of recreational activities related to cultural ecosystem services (CES) in urban areas is essential for decision-making and urban green space (UGS) management. This work aims to assess the preferences and factors (based on socio-demographic and motivation variables) influencing CES-related activities in Vilnius, Lithuania, to provide scientific knowledge to support more efficient UGS design and management. Participatory mapping was reported as relevant for urban park planning and decision-making and was applied to identify spatially explicit CES. We assessed the perceived relevance of five CES-related activities groups (, , , , and ) via participatory mapping through an online survey (n = 1.114). The users selected one preferred geographic location for each CES-related activities group and attributed relevance (using a 5-point Likert scale) for a set of motivation items. The results showed that and were the respondents' most important CES-related activity groups, while were the less popular. Factor Analysis showed that the respondent's recreation experience preferences, or motivations, were the most relevant variables influencing all the groups except for the group. Regarding , preferences for & were the most relevant variables. For , the variables & were the most important. & was the most relevant for . Regarding , the most important variables were related to the and the . Finally, mainly influenced social activities, namely , and . The spatial distribution was different between activity groups. showed the highest dispersion, and the highest concentration. The results of this work are relevant to municipal managers, as they allow for a better understanding of users' interactions with the territory, its multifunctionality, and potential areas of conflict between conservation and recreation.
评估城市地区与文化生态系统服务（CES）相关的休闲活动偏好对于决策和城市绿地（UGS）管理至关重要。这项工作旨在评估立陶宛维尔纽斯与CES相关活动的偏好和影响因素（基于社会人口统计学和动机变量），以提供科学知识来支持更高效的UGS设计和管理。参与式绘图被认为与城市公园规划和决策相关，并被用于识别空间明确的CES。我们通过在线调查（n = 1114），通过参与式绘图评估了五个与CES相关的活动组（、、、和）的感知相关性。用户为每个与CES相关的活动组选择一个首选地理位置，并为一组动机项目赋予相关性（使用5点李克特量表）。结果表明，和是受访者最重要的与CES相关的活动组，而则不太受欢迎。因子分析表明，受访者的休闲体验偏好或动机是影响除组之外所有组的最相关变量。关于，对和的偏好是最相关的变量。对于，变量和是最重要的。和与最相关。关于，最重要的变量与和有关。最后，主要影响社会活动，即、和。活动组之间的空间分布不同。显示出最高的分散度，而显示出最高的集中度。这项工作的结果与市政管理人员相关，因为它们有助于更好地理解用户与该地区的互动、其多功能性以及保护与休闲之间潜在的冲突领域。
