Abstract

The city is a lively organism and is a living space for many people. The level of urban green spaces affects the quality of life of its inhabitants. Spaces provide people many benefits that we define as ecosystem services. We engage in cultural ecosystem services, specifically recreation. We evaluate the vegetation areas in terms of their quality and the level of provision of human benefits. We evaluate these components: vegetation quality, space design, environmental quality, management and equipment. In the paper, we evaluate the management of the vegetation area on the Chrenová settlement in Nitra. The quality of management of vegetation areas directly affects the provision of cultural ecosystem services. The retained areas provide a suitable recreational area for the population. In this contribution, we would like to point out a new methodical approach to assessing the extent of management benefits for cultural ecosystem services, namely recreation on the chosen vegetation area of the settlement Chrenová.
